KUALA LUMPUR, April 9 — To be noticed by a superstar you idolise is a pretty big thing especially when that idol retweets you and even adds a heartfelt message to it.
Mohamad Asraf Nordin can now tick that off his bucket list after his tweet received a like, and was quoted in a tweet by American pop diva Mariah Carey, with the caption, "True Heroes".
Asraf who is a huge fan of the icon admitted that he had always replied to Carey’s tweets although has never received any response prior.
“I’ve always replied to Mariah’s tweet but I didn’t get any response. Until she tweeted about front liners and I replied to the tweet with a photo of my aunt with her colleagues who are also nurses.”
“A minute later, I received a notification. She (Mariah) liked and quoted my tweet. I immediately woke my brother up who was sleeping at the time,” he told mStar.
“My brother is also a fan of hers. He told me that my hands were cold. I was shocked and it was unexpected. I was so happy, she finally noticed me.”
real life heroes ❤️❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/Nq1gsLIs8y
