I just found out something about one of my uncles today, something that will change my thinking of him forever. Other than getting to know of his brand new car, which I should say travel much more smoother on the roads and has a stronger air-condition, I didn't realise that he is a well-respected person in the music industry. Well, perhaps not generally in the WHOLE industry but maybe in those regarding concert and military bands. Be warned:he's one of the judges in this year's SYF for Concert Bands. For all I know, all these while he's active in band during his heydays, being in band from primary school up to his police force years. A conductor he never was, or maybe I didn't know if he was, but yet he's invited to be one of the judges, up there with established composers and musicians. What qualifications does he possess that it was so well-kept until I didn't know till he talked about the topic randomly?

Another thing about him is that, he's "close" to the Singapore Idol, Taufik Batisah. Yeah, heard him call this SI champ in person from his handphone to ask about some tickets issue regarding his concert. Wait. Am I dreaming or what? All these while, girls go gaga over him and I don't. However, I do feel the urge to meet or greet him in person though I've never gone to such great extents that teens do back then. Yet, my dreams can be a reality with just a phonecall away? Wait a minute, who is this uncle of mine? How come I didn't know anything about his "superstar" status all these 16 odd years?

Funny isn't it, how life operates? Such unpredictable twists, unexpected truths. Life is always full of surprises. It's just waiting for the right time to scare the wits out of you. Never underestimate the power of chance.
