Color Me Badd, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia circa 1992

Yes I have no shame in admitting that I loved CMB and I fancied the pants off the curly-haired bloke, Sam Waters. We were 14 and the NKOTB craze had died down. NKOTB never came to Malaysia but CMB for some reason did. Me, Angie, Jacelyn, Tina and Simon were there! Like the spotty-teenaged kids we were, we pushed our way to the front and sang our hearts out to "I Wanna Sex You Up" etc. One of them threw his dirty towel into the crowd and all of us had to fight these two other girls for it - we ended up compromising and tearing it up so everyone would have a piece. I still have mine. Then they threw roses into the crowd and Simon caught one but I forced him to give his to me which he reluctantly did. In those days he was keen to expel any suggestion that he was gay. A good night was had by one and all and if they re-formed, I'll still push my way to the front row.
