// The encounter
Alright. I shall address this issue in a very civil, mature (right ba and ain?) way. (haha) Singapore Idol, Taufik Batisah was at my place today, thanks to my uncle, his officer who brought him to my place during their lunch break. Wow. I'm still in denial, I can't believe he was at my place lah. He's a nice guy, and his version of Me and Mrs Jones sounds much much better when you hear him sing it live and unplugged. I've got a video of it and I'll try to upload it.

At first, we were all disappointed when my uncle said that Taufik didn't report to work this morning. So me and my sister mass messaged everyone telling them that its cancelled. However, we received another call later from my uncle that Taufik woke up late! ((reminds me of Irwan)) and they were on their way. So, we mass messaged everyone again! Hehe.
Wow. You could really see the difference between my sister's friends, the RGS kiddos and me, ain and baba. The kids were really nuts! (hehe, no offence kids) Like seriously! They were squabbling over taufik's cup in the kitchen, and didn't allow my mum to wash it. and I heard they each took a sip, finishing up his drink. ((yikes)). Oh, and I have learnt today that Taufik's not a big fan of vegetables. So my grandmother made popiah (chinese style with the veggies all) and Taufik tried one, but didn't finish it cause of the veggie. Now you can all guess what the kids did next. ((yea they finished it up))
My goodness. That brings obsession to another level.
Baba and Ain, on the other hand, giggled alot and simply refused to enter my house. Plus baba covered her face and mouth and face again with his poster. Haha. ((hey, we're shy girls okay)) Really funny.
Taufik was really mobbed. Taking pictures, signing EVERYTHING from bags, to books to paper, answering phonecalls. Wow. Thats the life of an idol. When his trailer for "I Dream" played on TV (coincidentally) we all screamed, and he looked up and said "EEE! Siaper tu?? Orang giler!" ((translated that means "EEE! Who's that? Crazy fella!")) Haha.
Oh yes. Being the Idol doesn't mean you can't act cute also! haha! Taufik is sooo act cute! Haha. Look at what he said during the phone calls:
Convo 1: hello police! yes, how can i help you. how, your neighbourhood okay not?
Convo 2: hey who's tht? tika? tika what, tika sembahyang? ((bahahaha))
Convo 3: taufik? who's taufik? aiya i dunno who lah. this is david yeo LAH. i am an ah beng LAH. ((wth))
All in all, today was great! I still can't believe it though.
You can view the video of taufik's unplugged version of Me and Mrs Jones here.
