A TeenyBopper Again

It has been another crazy but fabulous day.
The kids woke me up at 5.30am. Iffah & Akmal had actually gotten up early to make a special breakfast...actually for Father's Day...so groggily, I had a delicious toast and mushroom omelette. Thank you sweethearts...

We had decided to spend the morning at the movies...so went down to Downtown East for "Kung Fu Panda."...had a good laugh...for Po really reminds me of someone...One takeaway, " Yesterday was history, tomorrow's a mystery; today is a gift...That is why it is called Present"...corny, cheesy, but a great line to use. So go ahead and have a good time. It's a good balance between something the kids enjoy and adult humour.

We then tried the new BBQ Chicken...not bad...but a tad expensive.
We then decided to bowl. This is where my kids (who are Wii experts) realise the difference between holding the nunchuck and a real bowling ball.

So what was the highlight of the day?
Thanks to (Dr) Janelene Leong, I got to know the Osmonds' flight detail...so there we were, a small group of 'aunties' who turned into teenaged groupies. There were only a few of us, and the media people who were there were too young to understand the hype.

But hey, got to meet more ardent and faithful fans from Japan. These two ladies not only flew in from Japan to meet their idols, but they also timed their flight so that they could be at the airport...So there we were...a small group and I am sure that the Osmonds were startled to see us.

Yea...yea...yea...that's the whole beauty...no one knew they were arriving...so we had them to ourselves!!! I had to remind myself that a) I am married...b) I am not supposed to throw myself at them c)they were surrounded by their wives...but who cares?! Hehehehe...no lah...did behave though the group and I broke out in song several times. (yah...there goes my reputation for being a prim and proper person. What will my students think of me?!!!)

I finally got to meet Jay face-to-face...and it is a lifetime dream. Let me tell you that the Osmonds, up close, are very nice people. Absolutely no airs about them. Donny still looked gorgeous, but he seemed tired. Wayne was the friendliest, and Marie...oh so beautiful. She is friendly, and spoke to us as if we have been friends for years. I will never forget this...

For those who really don't get it...especially the younger ones, let me tell you that one day, you will. It means that a dream you once had...when you were much younger, can still come true.

Like the Dragon Scroll...and the Wise Turtle...you just have to believe...especially in yourself. You can make things happen.
