The funniest thing about being a celebrity (Or should I say singer) and a social worker in a 'humanitarian/development' job is when people questions about you. In one of the very important consultations, one of my friends was there from another agency and he was sitting next to his colleague. By friend, I meant PlasticBernard. A man in his fifty and French. So, apparently his Burmese colleague, who was sitting right in front of me and who also did talk to me during the meeting, had asked PlasticBernard if I was the guy who sing.
I find that quite amusing that he spotted me regardless of my five years absence with the scene. It was funnier when he said 'wow I never knew I would meet him in this meeting.It's surprising.' To this, PlasticBernard was assured that I am in fact a celebrity, to which I have no objection with but like to practise my life as if I'm not one. But hey, I'm only human to enjoy that comment.
So what do you guys think???
Is it surprising to see me in the meeting because...
1. Celebrities are supposed to be dumb and they don't know how to use SPSS to get statistics results in a meeting with big people from other NGO's.
or
2. Celebrities are so well rich on their own and they don't need to work at jobs like these.
Either ways, it's an ego booster... cos it means i have a brain and that they think i'm rich. But seriously, most burmese celebs are dead poor and I'm one of them :)
