Quick update: Guess who I met??

Hahah...talk about procrastinating right? I suppose everyone would think my blog is more or less dead. I'm such a lazy blogger....but seriously, the main problem is that I was cut off from internet for the last 2-3 months. Firstly, my laptop couldn't connect to internet AT ALL, and my bro's CPU was sadly sot-sot at the same time. So, I had to depend on sch and Michael's house :P I recently just packed off my printer and laptop for repairs which are really going to cost me. If the printer's warranty can't hold up, the amount to repair it is enuff to buy a new one! And all this while I've been asking for original Epson ink, and guess what? They've been giving me pirated one :P :P!! SO anyway, was using my bro's computer...but have to wait for opportunities where he's away or sleeping or etc :P

Ok, I know i'm soooo loso lar. Straight to the point then. Most of my relatives on my mum's side came back for Christmas, my 2 uncles with the cousins and aunties came back from KL. Though it was rather a busy week, since 2 families coming on different days, the kch uncle and cousin flying off to HK and back again, and my dad as well. So many airport trips. But on the 22nd of December, Michael and I went shopping around Crowne Square and Hock Lee for my 'Christmas outfit' (lol...sounds so...but hey, due to mum's requests :P) and we decided to eat at the famous chicken rice shop behind Hock Lee. Tho i'm not a big fan of chix rice, but Mike's never tried that shop b4..so..

Anyway, there we were, waiting for our chicken rice to come and I was just looking around. And accidentally saw SOMEONE. I was like ".........*lightbulb flickers on*..Oh My God!!" and Mike got shocked and went "what what? What happened?" I was so excited and I pointed over to the direction of the person and explained. Guess who I saw??

Nicholas Teo (Zhang Tung Liang)

Yes, I'm not kidding. Nicholas Teo of 'Huang Hun' (the sad song that won him Astro Talent Quest) fame and is now a pretty famous celebrity in Taiwan, and basically a lot of Asia. He's currently starring in 'Wei Xiao Pasta' which will also be shown on Astro AEC(Channel 19) soon. Originally, I wasn't that crazy about him when he first started out, but I'd just finished watching Wei Xiao Pasta so...u know....ahaahaha....Oh yea, I guess most ppl would know he's from Kuching too. Former student of Chung Hua Middle Sch no.1

Basically, I was excited bcoz...well...how often do u meet a celebrity in real life? Fine, ppl might say he's a small potato..but hey...still more famous than us rite? And he's eating chicken rice! -_-||| and drives a Kelisa. HAhahaha...anyway i was like..."I think that's him..but i'm worried i recognized wrongly" so I got Michael to reconfirm discreetly and I also whipped out my phone to call my cousin, who also happens to be Nicholas's friend. And YES, it REALLY was him! I was so excited/panicky that I kinda lost my appetite. Michael was asking if i wanted to go over n ask him for autograph or something, but I was soooo paiseh larr...so worried I'd be disturbing his peace n also his lunch. LOL.

So there I was, worrying n fidgeting and kept looking over (until his friends noticed, i think!) and finally he finished eating. I dragged Michael over and started:
(all in Mandarin)
Me: Er..excuse me, are you Nicholas Teo?
Guy: Er...yes (but I heard it as NO)
Me: oh, sorry to disturb then...*starting to turn away*
Guy: No no, I am him.
Me: Oh!!! Err...can I take a pic with you? *indicating hp*
Nicholas: Er..I'm sorry but I'm not allowed to use hp and today my image isn't that good. (dressed quite simply and with baseball cap)
Me: Oh,....then nvm....
Nicholas: Very very very very paiseh and sorry!
Me: It's ok, btw...your Wei Xiao Pasta is nice!
Nicholas: Thanks...and very sorry ya.

And I went back to my seat with Michael....a bit disappointed, but decidedly more relieved and calmer. By then part of our chicken rice had already been cleared! hahaha..luckily Michael had already finished his, but left mine lor. It was ok, coz I didn't really feel like eating..couldn't handle it..lolz....But basically, it was a weird experience, but he was pretty nice, very apologetic about not being able to fulfil my request. Never mind..ahaha..coz my cousin is his friend..and yea...he promised to let me know the next time he meets up with him! ^_^ Seriously, he's probably the only celebrity we'll be able to bump into in Kuching like this. Tat's coz he's from Kuching himself, and so he'll just be hanging out normally. if it's a real Taiwanese star or something, I doubt they'll be so easy to spot, or that they'll be allowed out like tat.

I guess I was lucky to spot him also, coz I'd already noticed his friends b4 he arrived, coz their fashion style was slightly more outstanding that the other customers around. Not too flashy, but not exactly office wear or casual wear like mine. Lolz....what an experience and a story to tell everyone that nite...hopefully I didn't make too big a fool of myself..heeez...but...wished I'd gotten a pic of him...even his back might b ok...but who would believe that's him rite?

Okay....got to go get ready for tonite's bbq dinner at Mike's friends' house. Hope everyone will have a good New Yr's Eve celebration, stay safe! I promise to do a review of the year soon..if ppl are interested anyway..lol...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! May it bring more happiness and success to you all! May we all be healthy and safe too ^_^
