Description

If you ever see Khue performing on stage, you must think: She is a kind of person who is hard to approach. Well, indeed, she is!

I had never thought I would be friend with any famous person. I thought they are in different worlds, they have different lifestyles and. I am a person of close friendships (which it is rare for famous people), also, this may surprise you, but I hate crowds and noise. Famous people – they have all!

But this is always right, you never know how something really is until it arrives.  All these time, I started to make friends with some of these “famous” people so naturally that I did not even aware of their fames.

With Khue, it was even harder to believe we would be friends. But we did, and good, good friends. I was so surprised to discover her; things were totally different of what I used to think.

I met her on my ex-job. I had to do some video shootings with some well known artists for a TV program and Khue was one of the guests. As I looked at her name, I really hesitated to call, but well, I had to. Her “sour” and  “chilly” voice on the phone sounded exactly when she sings. Well, she was friendly, not that scary at all!

Then I met her in person, we did the video but I did not talk to her much, she looked no so different on TV, or even prettier. By the end, I decided to give her my book as a little gift. (I gave out my books to some of the guests that I thought they might read). My first impression about Khue was that, she had great sense of humor, kind of smarty humor, not the dumb one!

Well, but that was it. Always a goodbye to the guests and would never intend to call them again for any personal purposes.

4 days later, my cell rang, Khue was on the line (I rarely delete people’s contacts on my phone once they are registered in there). My heart thumbed! What? She still kept my phone number? What did she want?

_ Hi Kin, I’m Khue, remember me?

-          Sure I do, hi Khue.

-          Hey, I just finished reading your book, and I LOVE IT, I want to see you again so much. I will have a video shooting tomorrow for the TV, want to hang out with me???

(I was thinking: Oh man, she READ the book…well, she is really….different).

-          I have to go to work, though I would love to.

-          Come on, take the day off, I gotta see you!

-          Ok, I’ll try, I will call you back!

I had to be honest; my heart thumbed hard just like a guy I like gave me a call. I was confused going with her or not. First, I was…lazy, second;  I was not really sure how to “treat” this famous person;  third, it was hard to ask for a day off this late.

But then, I decided to go. Meeting such a person would be interesting whether it turns out good or bad in the end!

And guess how she treated me. She asked for my address and drove her own car to my place to pick me up. We started to discover about each other. She said: She found herself and her mind in my book, she knew I would be the one she had been looking for a long time, and she knew we would be great friends of each other. And I said I did not know anything about her but her songs, but I was thinking inside, if she really liked and had good feelings for my book, she was really “my style”.  The stories went on, I laughed to dead with her funny stories and jokes.

When I came home, I was simply happy. I had a new friend, a very “special one”.

Famous people – well they are just…people. They can be stars high in the sky, but they can be so close just like one of us.

Ever since, we have been hanging out, telling jokes and getting closer and closer. I love her more and more everyday, sometimes I even had the feeling she was just so “perfect” for me:  talent, smart, funny….and always was there when I was in need. She called me her “best friend” though I never called her that way (because I did not want people to think I wanted to show off the relationship with famous people).

But now, finally I admit, she is one of my best friends. And these entries are my love for her, for a friend I love, not for a well known person!

And thanks to my book: “New York love stories” – it brought me so much, how can I thank it now?
