They Just Don't Get It

So what is the mega-story that was supposed to have come up?

Well, if you have been observant enough, you would have found a picture of me in the Life section of Straits Times today. Haha...my single shot at fame...yet it featured my friends and I as purple groupies.

Yes...yes...for the umpteenth time...I am an Osmond fan...and yes, I have spent a lot of money buying those tickets. But it will be nice to be able to re-live those wonder years again...even for just a little while. I don't care if people laugh at me...or what the kids in school will think (oopps...shall worry about that later), but I shall have fun at the concert...minus a purple sock or two. By the way, the love of my life has always been Jay, not Donny.

But it was a blast meeting up with old friends...Jan Leong, Judy, Linda, Melanie and good old Veron were at Singapore Press Holdings where we had the photo shot...actually Jan was more interested in wanting to find a way to meet the Osmonds in person.

But there we were...all decked in purple (I did chicken out and wore lilac instead). The reporters were young, and probably never heard of the Osmond phenomenon. They were quite amazed at the group of 'aunties' who came with old scrap books and other Osmond memorabilia. Hehehe...still have that old precious Osmond annual from 1976...antique.

We were told to do all kinds of poses...and this young photographer kept her comments as she watched our antics...the only question she asked my daughter was "Why do they keep singing the same old song?" Hahahahahaha... we were told to capture the 'mood'...so we kept repeating the refrain from "Love Me For a Reason."

See, I told you right? They just don't get it!

Anyway, I found another reason to celebrate.
I PASSED! I PASSED! I PASSED!

Will write tommorow to thank all those who have helped me through the 2 1/2 years of my studies...I earned my Masters degree....
