KCC gathering, May 24, 2003

Usually I get that awful feeling of "dammit I miss Kit so badly" whenever other Kitcattens talk about their encounters with Kit, or describe some performance with Kit. I usually start getting jealous and annoyed that I'm not at the right place at the right time. I usually complain so much that people get irritated.

Not this time.

I've heard 4 accounts of the gathering so far. They're quite similar, and all of them are really touching. Triggers thoughts. I don't cry very often, but I felt my eyes becoming wet while reading these accounts of yesterday. Sometimes I wonder whether God really sends angels to guide and support us in our everyday life. And sometimes don't you wish Kit's occupation isn't to sing and act, and that she really isn't some famous person? She has the power to inspire, motivate, encourage, support and bring together so many people of different nations. Sometimes you may wonder do such wonderful people even exist?

Although I promote Kit as the multi-talented songstress who knows and is close to her supporters, sometimes I do have my doubts. After all, how can I be totally convinced I understand someone I've only met once? And of course, a lot of information I've gathered about her is always "second-hand", it's always people telling me about Kit. Rarely do I get the opportunity to discover for myself "first-hand". Yesterday proved many things. The things people say about Kit, and Kit herself, are to be trusted. She is that lovely Kit who has a beautiful voice, a beautiful face, and a beautiful heart.

To Ting and Kelly and everyone else who think things that happen between them and Kit are dreams, I don't blame you. I sometimes fear that when I wake up one morning, that everything that has happened and was created in the past two and a half years is all just a dream. It is certainly hard to believe that I see my best friends once or twice a year... and that someone I've met once in my life controls the way I spend my money and the reasons why I study hard.

I have no regrets on becoming a Kitcatten. But I wish I was/am able to be more involved with the rest of KCC, and to participate in activities with them as a group. Like, seriously belong to KCC. It's difficult though, due to geographical differences.

I want to be Kit. Not just dress like her. Nor do I want to sing and act as a career. One day, I wonder if I'm able to inspire and bring together so many people from all over the world. I'd like to give people encouragement when they're on the brink of giving up, put smiles back on their faces when they're feeling down, motivate them when they feel direction-less, and inspire them to reach for their dreams.

I've got so many more thoughts to share, but with my mind going at a hundred miles an hour, I'm unable to put them down into words. Basically, I just wanted to say how much Kit has impacted on my life in so many ways, and I thank God for sending someone so beautiful to this world.

If only Kit read my blog.
