The Day We Turned Pele Groupies


with zarifah, yati and dave at the table-tennis zone.

What a day. I got into the staffroom like 5 seconds late. He was already there, surrounded by paparazzi, most of them self-appointed SSS staff..haha. After a short corporate video he was brought on a tour around the campus, while us groupies moved fast to always be a venue ahead of him. Spotted a few former national footballers, from the glorious Malaysia Cup days. Such adrenaline rush, this celeb-chasing. How do those K-Pop, J-Pop, Mando-Pop, boybands teenage groupies do it?

  5. Ah yes, I remember David Lee .. he was playing during zaman Fandi, right? I remember watching him at the National Stadium when Singapore played against Australia in back in the early 80's.

  6. Forgive me, I don't mean to be nosy. Pele is a nickname. His real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. Thanks.
