My first HK Celebrity

I still remember the time I met my very first

Hong Kong celebrity.

I think it was in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur.

There were like lots of people in the food section I think,

and when I reached for some nuts being sold

on a wooden rack, there the woman was..

standing right on my left side

and apparently, desiring the same nuts too.

I couldn't exactly quite decide

if she was just a lookalike

or my memory served me wrong

(yes, I often tend to doubt my own memory).

She was surprisingly shorter than I thought.

And the moment we made eye contact,

that was when things got really awkward.

I was like, staring into her face,

trying to determine if she was who I thought she was.

And she was staring back, a little nervous by the looks of it.

We stayed like that for 10 seconds and

that is a long time, just so you know.

Fortunately, my aunt pulled me away before

things got really, super, undeniably awkward.

Thus, in the end, I never was sure if

my eyes were right and I still

can't forget about the way

my aunt asked me to shut up.

She could be more polite about it, you know.

Curses.
