izzah meets 'izzah

One of the most interesting part being in the journalistic world is that your work brings you to places you've never imagined. More so, seeing the people whom you could only watch on screen.

I have posted on my instagram before that have finally met the opposition's Nurul Izzah but sadly no pictures with her.

I mean, this is the person with the same name as mine and I have been googling my name that ended up with results which often frustrates me because she was obviously more famous than I am. But that is beside the story.

So yesterday, I had an assignment at Universiti Malaya where I needed to cover some politicians. I had no idea Nurul Izzah was going to be one of the guests. 

As I was trying to concentrate and not fall asleep (that talk was at 2.30pm and I had a heavy lunch), the Lembah Pantai MP grabbed my attention and had me at my widest eyes.

The first thought that came to mind was "Yes! I'm finally going to have my chance to take a picture with her and tell her I have the same name!". 

Just to clarify, I'm doing this just for fun. No political strings here okayyyyy.

Anyways, after the talk ended, my colleague and I rushed down from the hall to asked a few questions to some of the panelists. Meanwhile, I had some other thought :p

The panelists including Nurul Izzah were having omnomnom-ing session. Not to waste my chance we waited for her. Well, we needed to ask her few questions too so why not right? xD

Settled all that was needed and bang! I asked her the question.

Me: Can I have a picture with you? *innocentface*

Nurul Izzah: Sure, why not *smiles*

Colleague: By the way YB, she has the same name as you

Nurul Izzah: Oh really? How old are you?

Me: 23 *stillholdingmysheepishface*

Nurul Izzah: You're only younger by 10 years.

*takespicture*

Nurul Izzah : You know that name has a good meaning to it?

Me: Yesssss *grinningandstillmaintainingmysheepface*

Yerrr!!!! Writing this now I feel such a fan girl even though I'm not. I swear I felt like a little girl seeing her favourite boy band face to face *facepalm*

But the main point IS, I FINALLY TOOK A PICTURE WITH SOMEONE THAT HAS THE SAME NAME AS ME BUT OBVIOUSLY MORE FAMOUS! 

XD

I can finally go back to real life.
