My thoughts on Clay's trip in Aceh
Probably by tonight or by tomorrow, it will be the end of Clay's trip in Aceh. Now for some reason, I can't bear to realise that he's about to leave! I had been thinking a lot about his trip while I was in school today that it got me almost embarrassing myself in class when the teacher asked the class some questions and I answered it wrongly for myself. Oh dear.
It may be only a brief moment that Singapore was one of his stop-overs but then that kind of makes a big deal for me. Yes, it does. I don't care what you all might be saying though. After all, does this happens all the time? No. way.
When I was on the boards these few days, I became so emotional immediately. I am just like that, reading reports of him in Aceh and those pics as well. Clay is just doing what he does best - helping out those in need. Now not many celebrities I know is just so capable of that.
Probably this post that I found from the Clayboard from a poster who came from Indonesia who watched her local news about Clay's trip will sum everything up from me...
"I want to share my thought to all of you here First of all, iam really really sorry that I cant help to give all the details of Clay visit yesterday. It happened alaways. When you need something so badly, out of sudden a barrier come into my way. And yesterday, my stupid annoying server put me on nervous. I was screamed…AAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH. WHY MUST TODAY ????? No..pls not today, please… But off course it wont listen, as usuall.
2nd, finally, an Indonesian station television coverage his visit. It was shown in RCTI channel at 6 pm news. RCTI is the same television which was shown AI2 on Dec and now they shown AI4.
This is what I want to share with you. Considering I never watched Clay after AI2, it was amazing to see him, in his very normal behavior, as Clay the teacher. Not Clay the singer, the actor or the actress or whatever he is on stage. They was covered him on his way to the crowd of children. a tutor was warmed the children up with some game when he came. Then they showing him sat in front of the children accompany by Ferry Salim, an Indonesian famous actor and mc. Then they shown him trying to imitate children’s moves when they sang Indonesian children’s song. He even followed the lyrics “Disini senang, disana senang Dimana mana hatiku senang” lalalalalalalalalallalallalalala In English means “iam happy right here, iam happy right there” “my heart is happy everywhere” lalalalalalalalalalalallalalalla
can you imagine he’s speaking Indonesian hahahaha
I don’t know but I feel I saw he was more enthuastic than Ferry. Ferry seems tried to translate some words, but I believe I saw Clay want to talk to them in his own way. Universal language. LOVE
After watching him standing side by side with Ferry, I think he’s not as thin as I thought. Ferry is 180 cm tall (around 6’0 inch) and very well build. And what I saw was Clay doesn’t far behind at all. Ferry was a model, but Clay is 7-8 cm taller than Ferry (how tall Clay is in cm ?? I believe Clay is 6’2 inch, am I right ??) Some said that Caucasian people are bigger than Asian people. That’s why for American Clay look thin, but for Indonesian he look so big..lol (note that iam only 5’5 inch as well)
The last impression is the most left deep in my heart. Watching him there, as Clay the teacher, Clay the most loveable person, and also Clay the entertainer, smiling his heart out while watching the children dancing Aceh’s traditional dance to welcome him, IS SO PRICELESS. Every move of him, while he tried to imitated their move, shown that all was done from his heart. His smile, his move, his dance, his eyes show his true heart is..what a wonderfull man he is..
His face didn’t show tireness or jetlag cause the difference zone time between USA and Indonesia more than 10 hours or so. His face just like where he is. Happy smiling and dancing with the children. And the children’s smile, what a priceless thing to see. After 3 month’s left, the disaster traumatic never left their face. Some of them had no parents and family any longer. All of them have no home and future yet. But they’re singing and smiling along with him. What a beautifull sight to see (wait a second, let me weap my tear first)
My sister is a big clay fans too, but she cant following his news by internet just like iam. I asked her to watched this news..and she was teary “ I cant imagine he was that nice. He is so loveable. How comfort he was around that poor children. there is nothing he cant give for the children by that priceless smile”. Plus she said, he looks so handsome (the last time she saw him was AI2 final..lol.
And if I said I cant love him more, because I think I already give all my love for him as a fans, I think I can love him more and more since today.
Well..that’s a long story..once again, iam sorry for my poor grammar. I don’t mind if somebody correct me..
edit to add love..how could this most important words was missing
