I don’t know how to answer when anyone asks what makes me a crazy fan, but certainly, my heart loves him for no reason. Since 2010, I have been a fan and love him more with each passing year.

It was when I struggled to meet him in Jakarta last September when he was in Indonesia. I heard he was in the city on the news and immediately planned to go to Jakarta from Garut. Initially, my parents didn’t allow it because it was very far away and they knew I did not know the city. But I assured them I would be safe and how big a dream this was for me. Finally, my parents allowed it and I took the 10-hour journey. After arriving in Jakarta I went through a lot of struggle and finally tracked him down, and met him.
