Meeting Kenny Kwan

It was the happiest weekend I've had this year!

If you have me added as a friend on Friendster or Myspace, you would know that the few people I would like to meet most in my life are: Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks, Jamie Oliver, Jim Verraros, Kenny Kwan and God (if there's one). With the obvious giveaway blog headline and the picture on the right, bet you already know who I met over the weekend! Muahahaha...

Knowing that Kenny Kwan is in Malaysia already got me and Kenny (the mouse, not the artist) jumping with joy. When we heard that he will be having a autograph session for his new album "In Progress" at Cheras Leisure Mall, we kinda concluded that we MUST be there! Suddenly, going over to Cheras without knowing where exactly is the Leisure Mall and the possibility of us getting stuck in a bad jam are no longer obstacles. The most important thing is: We get to meet Kenny Kwan!

On the way over, we talked about the possibility of having less than 50 people attending the event. After all, this guy is not really that well known in Malaysia. Songs from his previous albums didn't get much airplay in Malaysia! His second album, "MusicK" didn't even make it our shores! So as we are stuck in the jam, we kinda fantasize about no one turning up for the event and how we are able to have Kenny Kwan to ourselves...

When we got there, there are only a handful of people around. Probably the least of crowd I've seen so far for an autograph session from a Hong Kong singer. But you can tell that those who are there are hardcore fans! They have posters and banners at hand, some even with digicam and paper bags filled with CDs, posters, magazines and God-knows-what... There were even fans that came all the way from Singapore!

Kenny Kwan arrived on time and sang the first two singles from his "In Progress". I was so worried that his voice might actually break when he tried to hit those high notes but he managed to make it through all of them effortlessly.

Then it's time a game. The hostess wanted 6 people to go on stage to confess their love for Kenny Kwan. Sounds easy. Since guys are allowed, I put my hands up and in my head, I was screaming, "Me!! Me!! Me!! Me!!" Then the hostess went: "You~! The guy at the back!" In my head, the voiceover immediately turns into: "Oh shit! Fuck! Really? Me?! What am I going to say to him?!"

"Really?! I'm supposed to go on stage to talk to Kenny Kwan?!" I could barely walk straight as I make my way up the stage. When I saw him standing so close in front of me... it was like I died and went to heaven. He's so fucking gorgeous up close! I can't believe that I still get star-struck after all those years with Cinema Online and meeting so many celebrities for one-on-one interviews!

On stage, I was dead nervous. Waiting for my turn, I was struggling hard to think of something intelligent to say. At the same time I was trying to calm myself down, telling myself that I've done this hundred times. This is not the first time I talk to a HK celeb. I can do this. But when it comes to my turn, all I could think of was: "Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh Shit!"

When I walked up to him and looked him in the eyes, I lost it. His eyes! His smile! He's so freaking hot! My mind's a blank. I don't know what to say. All I could remember was: He was looking at me, smiling. I was trying very hard to swallow fast and refrain myself from drooling in public. The voiceover in my head went: "Fuck it! Just talk to Kenny Kwan! Screw the world! Say whatever that comes to mind!"

I knew I have to say something smart. So I took a deep breath and went: "People always say action speaks louder than words, if all these people are not around, I would definitely kiss you!" Great! I just told one of the person that I would like to meet most in my life that I wanted to kiss him in public!

The voiceover in my head went: "Good job, Jess! You get to speak to Kenny Kwan and this is the smartest thing can you come up with?! What a dumbass!" At that point, I knew I wasn't gonna win, but I really didn't care. I was already too high to think straight. I just told Kenny Kwan I wanted to kiss him! How many guys dare to say that in public?! (Oh God… I hope no one who knows me was there!)

After the game, Kenny Kwan sang three more songs and took a couple of group shots with the fans before proceeding with the autographing session. (See if you can spot me in the pictures below. Click to enlarge.)

As most of our Boy'Z and Kenny Kwan memorabilia were locked away safely in our hometown, we only managed to get him to autograph our "In Progress" CD, his promo poster, the "In Progress" photo album... OH!!! OH!!! OH!!! And I also get to touch him!!! Wheee!!! Definitely the best weekend I've had so far this year!

One down, five more to go! =D

Phone Sex

Some of you out there might remember the fact that jess doesn't like his number being given out to total strangers, especially those who sells insurance, gym packages and Christianity.

Recently, someone have been giving out my numbers once again. I received an sms last Wednesday evening from the number 016-6202347, with the message: "Phone sex now?"

Yes, a remarkably interesting question. A question not even my ex-boyfriends dare ask of me, I am now getting it from a total stranger. Kenny, who was with me when I got the sms, asked me to call the person. But I wouldn't want to mislead the bugger into thinking that I am going to do it with him. So I text the bugger back and asked: "Who are you?"

He never replied.

Just when I thought that the nightmare is over, I got a reply from 016-6202347 the next morning. "I am plu too is 1 ppl frm irc give ur number 2 me. 2day i offday."

Now I'm pissed more than curious. I haven't been on MIRC for ages, so who the heck that has a grudge on me so badly that he/she is thorowing my number out to strangers who wanted phone sex?! Next time, give it to people who wanted real sex, please! Don't you know that jess don't do phone sex?!?!

I chose to ignore the guy and chose not to reply.

At 5.26pm, I got another sms from the same idiot, who just can't seem to get the hint from the ignorance I have been showing him. "I so horny now. How abt u?"

"I'm very pissed right now and wanted to expose to the world what a horny bastard you are." How's that for an answer?!

Pissed to the max, no thanks partly to the 4bad day I was experiencing at work, I replied him. "Got pix?" Firstly, I wanted to see how this person look like. And just so I could use his picture to threaten him into telling me who the fuck gave him my number.

In less than 10 mins, I got an MMS from the fella. This is the picture he sent me of himself:
IS THAT WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR?!?! AND WHAT'S WITH THE BELLY HAIR?! URGH!! PLEASE GET A WAX OR SHAVE IT OFF YOURSELF, DUDE! AND NEXT TIME, IF YOUR POTENTIAL PHONE SEX TARGET ASK FOR YOUR PICTURE, PLEASE SEND A FACE PIX. DON'T YOU KNOW THAT WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR IS A MAJOR TURN OFF FOR GAY MEN?!

The thing is: I really don't get phone sex. I can understand those who have webcam sex cos you can see the person who is on the other end. But phone sex?! HOW?! It's not that you would know if the person on the other side is lying to you or not. For all you know, this person could have having a cup of tea while killing his/her time on the phone with you! So what's the point of doing it? At the end of the day you're still just pleasuring yourself anyway. So why waste your phone bill on something stupid? The way I see it, if you want something erotic, go get yourself off watching porn! At least you can see what the other person is doing while you pleasure yourself. And it's cheaper!

(P.S.: Whoever you are, I'm gonna need you to tell me who the fuck gave you my number so I can rip his/her heart out from his/her throat! In return, I would do you a favor by taking this picture of yours off my blog and remove your number from all the posters I made for you, which have your number and this underwear pix attached.)

Change

What happens if you find out that you are dying of a terminal disease and you only have a month left to live?

OR

What happens if you know that all things are coming to and end? What would you do to make a difference?

I know you always read about this sort of question and you've answered it a billion times. BUT... what happens if it is really happening to you? Would you really do anything differently?

Humans are the strangest of living beings. We do not know how to cherish whatever we have until it's gone, or at least, in this case, 'until we know that it's going to be gone'.

With the craziness that's been going on in my life, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. "Would I do anything differently, if I were to be given another chance to relive it?" The most probable answer I would give is, "No." It's not to say that I wouldn't want to change everything, there are, trust me, some things in my life that I would want to make better, but thinking deeply into it, I realize that without those 'elements' in my life, would I still be the same person I am today?

Supposedly I stop my dad from beating up my mom when I was a kid. What could I do to prevent it? Call the cops? I was definitely too young to know what the heck "domestic violence" is. If relive this part of life and I did call the cops, yes, he might be sent away, and my mom will stop enduring the beating. But there might be a chain reaction to that part of my life: I would become the kid who called the cops. My father's side of the family, which already doesn't really like my mom, would, then, really hates my mom for it. My parents might get a divorce, or something like that…… I guess the possible chain reactions would be too long to be elaborated here. But my main point is, for me, life, as I knew it to be, wouldn't be the same anymore, if those changes were made.

Life is filled with unexpected twists and turns. It's the twists and turns, which make us who we are today. We live through those ups and downs to better ourselves and prepare ourselves for the future unknown. To change the "unexpected" turns and turn them into what we wanted it to be might just ruin the whole plan whatever the forces that be had planned for us. And it would certainly change who we are.

What happens if I know that all things are coming to an end? I would do my best to cherish the days I have left to do the things I wanted to do. I will not live any differently and I would continue to be who I am and enjoy the moment. After all, whatever that is meant to be, is meant to be. If the forces at work say it's time for you to go, it's time for you to go.

I see life as one of those never ending soap operas. It has its ups and downs and secrets and scandals going on throughout. How to make the best of things and live through it is completely up to us to decide.

Unlike a daytime soap opera; Life is, after all, unscripted.
