I feel like a winner... all over again....
the feeling of I CAN...
I CAN DO ANYTHING...
When I was 15... I had this drive to make something happen...
silly as it may sound... I was a groupie.
I was a mad fan of the Brit Boy Band TAKE THAT
I was a more than just a fan.
the funniest thing was... I was a fan only immediately after they split up.
I was devoted.
I wanted to create a fanclub despite the split.
Many thought i was mad...seriously
I was convinced I can do it.
And the best has yet to come...
I WANTED IT TO BE AN OFFICIAL FANCLUB...
RECOGNISE BY their RECORD LABEL..then it was
BMG MUSIC (SINGAPORE)
Crazy huh?
I went ahead to give BMG a call... they turned me down... I called again... the same pattern went on for 30 good days non stop.
Until they got so 'disgusted' by my 15 year old voice... they put me through the
Label Executive. I spoke. and proposed...
She was nice enough to listen... really...
then told me to come up with a proposal.
Trust me. at 15 years old... a proposal was like...WHAT?! HUH?!
I just took my courage and went on... after a week
I met up with her and showed her my
Lavender purple coloured A4 size proposal with foolscape writing paper scribbled with my so called ideas and explained why my fanclub WILL WORK.
3 days later... a call to my home
( during those times teenagers only got pager and no mobiles )
"Hey Gina. I got GOOD NEWS!"
I screamed... without even knowing what's the news yet.
" ok...listen up. BMG will take your fanclub as the OFFICIAL SINGAPORE TAKE THAT FC"
"That's means we'll support you in a few ways. Publicity and sorts"
I don't even know what's publicity meant then...muhahahaha
In a few weeks... I read in a Local Entertainment Magazine
I got a half page advert on my fanclub as THE OFFICIAL FC!!
And I have a FC LAUNCH. On the launch date I had 100 members joined me.
each paid only $25 to be a member.
in a month. I had about 250 members.
We will be invited to press conferences and concerts for free...
get super exclusive premiums. like the artistes concert costumes and etc...
ITS WAS CRAZY...
a few weeks later. I got calls from other labels... weird... asking me if i'm interested to create FC for other groups.. like the backstreet boys and n'sync...
I was like? why? I only like TAKE THAT..
thinking about it now... I WAS SO SILLY...
I Stopped after a year... why? cos I was bored.
Hey... I was 15... so responsibility wasn't my traits then...hahahaha
But I always love this drive... and I feel like winner now...
I'm driven to succeed and be the BEST...
Specially when ppl say I'm crazy... right now? CRAZY is good...
I CAN DO ANYTHING...
ITS MY WAY OR NO WAY...
MAMA G... THE WINNER
