MEETING MY IDOL
Afgan has always been my
favourite singer. I had always
been thinking of how I would feel
when I met him. Then I was
suddenly hit by lightning when I
found out Afgan was coming to
town for a concert in a local
auditorium. A day before the
concert, there would be a meet-
and-greet event at a local radio
station. Feeling excited, I packed
all my Afgans CDs to get his
signature at the
event.
On that bright and sunny
Saturday morning, the radio
station was full of Afganism
(thats how Afgans fans are
called). They sat on the chairs
prepared inside the radio
stations lobby. Some stood in
rows in the front yard of the
radio station. A spot inside a
lobby was prepared with a mini
stage for Afgans singing
performance and a table for
Afgan to sign Afganisms
memorabilia. Finally, after about
40 or 50 minutes wait, Afgan
showed up from inside the radio
station. He smiled and waved to
all Afganism who had been
waiting excitedly saying, Good
morning. How are you all?. The
crowd went crazy. The shouts
sounded like a mix of Fine,
thank you and screams of
Afgans name.
Then, he started the event by
singing his hit single Dia dia
dia. Afganisme went even
crazier; they sang along with him
throughout the song.
did too. I couldnt take my eyes
off this amazing singer who had
released three albums. When he
was fnished with the song, the
host announced that it was time
for autographing the
memorabilia. I prepared my CDs
and began to stand in the line.
When I arrived at the table, I was
speechless. It was unreal just
seeing him that close. I thought
it was really cool seeing him like
that because he really just felt
like a normal person, which was
awesome. He asked my name so
that he could write it on the CD
to say To Mia, Love Afgan. He
was also very friendly, so
I didnt feel too nervous when I
had a chance to take pictures
with him. He was just an
amazing person. And it was the
best day ever!
