Finally, I met my Idol Liliyana Natsir

Ya~ as I mention in the previous post. I love Badminton, and I adore Liliyana Natsir since I was Junior High School.. Everytime I watch Badminton matches on TV, everyone disappear...
But, since I don't live in Indonesian's Capital City, Jakarta. It seems like impossible for me to watch Liliyana Natsir or I usually call her "Butet" live or meet her as the real human(?).
When I was kid, even until I'm a University student, it's hard for me to go to Jakarta and watch Badminton in there since Badminton matches usually held in Istora Senayan, Jakarta. Moreover, my parents and my siblings aren't fans of Badminton. Even my Father that sometimes like to watch Badminton matches with me on TV. But he's not a fan. Especially I'm the youngest in Family. Do you think is it possible for my parents letting me go by myself to the big city? No...

What can I do? Watch and watch in front of the screen.

But, one day. When I was in my 5th semester as a University student. I heard a Fantastic, Fabulous, Bombastic, Crazy News. Guess what???

Palembang, the city where live now will held a Badminton tournament, Indonesia Grand Prix Gold 2012. Even it's not as big as Indonesia Open. But, at least I have a hope to watch International Badminton matches LIVE!! But, I'm not sure Butet will join this tournament because of her world ranking already on TOP 5.

Day by day, I was looking for friends to watch Badminton together because none of my classmate are fanatic in Badminton. :')
But, at the end. I know one friend even she's in different class with me, but we're pretty close and the most important thing is.. she's a fanatic of Badminton just like me!!! Yeay!!! Moreover she's in a community of Badminton Lover soooooo I have a bunch of friends to watch Badminton!!! Finally!! \(^O^)/

Okay, to the point of the moment I met my idol. :P

So, one day. Before she has her first match in Indonesia GPG 2012. Me and my friends have a meet and greet with two Badminton players Muhammad Ahsan and Fran Kurniawan. That's great!! Because we can have a chat with them closely. After that small event, me and 3 of my other friends went to the hotel where the athletes stayed. But we don't even know whom athletes that stay there. Great.. -_______-"

Right away after we arrives in the Hotel, we directly go to the lobby because we don't have a clue what to do. But, not until 5 minutes we were standing there. One of my friends said in a whisper "Hey, it's Butet!" by hinting that she was behind me. Like lightning in a broad daylight, I didn't dare to turn around. I remained silent despite my friends repeatedly said that there's Butet behind me.

But immediately after she headed to the lobby, we approached her and just like what I imagined, she's the same as what had been seen on the TV screen. She's a handsome girl. Oops .. xD
I and my three friends immediately asked for a photo together with her. She had refused and said he would immediately go exercise. But maybe because we put a face miserably as a roadside beggar, finally she willing to take a picture with us. I'm really really really really happy !!!
Can you imagine when the person you admired since childhood finally standing in front of you? It feels Wonderful!!

I ever thought I would never be able to watch my childhood idol play directly or at least meet her. Because when I could go to Jakarta without my parents permission, maybe by then she was no longer an athlete. She back to her hometown, and all my dreams just a dreams. But everything has come true now!! It's a good memory for me even though she doesn't even remember who am I.. :))

One things, I can live peacefully now. Huahaha....
