Maha J Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi Everyone, I am Maha from Canada (Toronto). I have been lurking on here without introducing myself long enough, so I figured it's time for me to come out of my shell I discovered Mika last year after the I love Beirut concert (I was born and raised in Lebanon, moved here in 2005); I mostly only listened to 80s music before, but since discovering Mika, I find myself listening exclusively to his music without ever getting sick of it (though I can't say the same about my poor husband )! I'm 42 years old with 2 young daughters who also adore Mika, and a somewhat grumpy cat who is coincidentally named Grace Kelly I am really happy that I found this little community, where in addition to keeping me informed about Mika and his social media posts and upcoming projects since I am not on any social media platforms myself, I now also get an opportunity to take little breaks throughout my work day to quickly check what's happening and get a good laugh reading some of your funny comments That's it for me. Hope to meet you all sometime soon! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi Maha and I love that you have a cat called Grace Kelly! I once had a budgie called Mika! And if my rescue dog didn't already have a name she would have been called Lola! Everything you need to know about Mika is here and having fun is definitely encouraged! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that I wasn't the one who named her, it's a total coincidence! She is a rescue cat and it was the person fostering her at the time who named her Grace Kelly because they thought she looked very dainty Of course, after being in our household for a few years now, she is more of a clumsy Princess Fiona than a dainty Grace Kelly, but we wouldn't have it any other way Here she is in all her glory on my Mika pillow 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to meet you all sometime soon! Welcome aboard Maha I love your intro Glad you decided to join Grace Kelly is very trustful of Mika to sleep like this My dog is called Mikado because I had to add two letters to his name due to my husband... he is not a fan either but ended up accepting my fandom with time. My children grew up listening to Mika's songs that weren't even released yet but didn't become fans although my daughter went to The Voice with me several times because she is a sweetheart. They both love music though. Glad your daughters love Mika too Take a look at this thread you might find Mika songs you don't know yet https://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/30851-mika-rare-video-treasures-for-newbies-and-others/page/10/#comments And have lots of fun here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how everyone's pets seem to have some Mika reference You know, the funny thing is that my husband actually likes Mika's songs, he was the one who purchased the first CD after we saw the Beirut concert; he just doesn't like that Mika is now the only one we listen to and talk about all the time So sweet that your daughter went with you to The Voice even though she is not a Mika fan! I hope I will be able to take my little Mika fans to one of his concerts one day too (come one Mika, no more quarantine requirements in Canada ); they are only 7 and 4 years old, but it's really funny to see them walking around singing Mika songs. The 7 year old went through an "Overrated" phase and the 4 year old was hooked on "love you when I'm drunk" for a while, which is probably not a great parenting win for me . What can I say, it's the Mika effect!! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
