I wannnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

Hhhmm...they don't look nice.......third!! YAY

er.. got carried away. forgot to include email..

btw, one of my friends is currently wearing the pirated version of crocs (made in china!).

more or less the same material but the holes were oval and not round and they're currently being sold for RM16 (i think) at carrefour. and they weren't as blatant as to put crocs logo there la, just a plain round sticker.

the entreprenuership of ppl in china amazes me!

certainly does looks like cheese to me too...hahaha...

hey so all i gotta do is talk a lil about my encounter with a celeb or just say : I WANT ONE CROCS BEACH...

ok if it need a story..here goes : once i was in NOkia bangsar, kuala lumpur , it was raining.. the day just couldnt get any worse till i open the doors to tht shop and there ! i saw jaclyn victor..she was really nice and i had a picture with her..

i also want one!!!

you should come to singapore. its full of holes and it looks like hawkers shoes. but everyone's wearing them. figures.

Last time when I had dinner with my sister with her friend Michelle Yeoh(yes, true enough) I asked her whether she buys pirated vcds before, she answered "Yes, but you don't buy MY pirated vcds, ok?" LOL.

it is so ugly, i wont take it even for free.

ok.. my only encounter with a celebrity (two as a matter of fact) was during the Jazz Fest, Miri back in May this yr.

who r the celebs u ask? no other than local Astro Talent Quest 2004 winner and runner-up "Wu Guo Fei" and "Wang Ming Li". I was boogeying away on the dance floor to the jazz music when i glanced towards my right.. and "hey, that guy looks so familiar!" i thought to myself. it took a moment to realise who he was. Ming Li is sooo petite. She's even smaller than me! (i'm 5'1 and a HALF"). They were both dancing just an arm length's away. I doubt i'd ever get any closer than that with a bigass celebrity.

Okay.. it might not be a juicy celeb encounter. But i come from a small town. can't expect to bump into someone big here. You understand that, rite Kenny? =D

I met Amber Chia at an exhibition about SEX organized by my college and I actually had quite an interesting talk with her and even got a picture with her. She's pretty sweet although her command in english could be better but i'm sure she's working on it :) I LOVE CROCSSSSSSS lalallaa

waraoooo now only i knw got contest.

make me pregnant, then maybe i will consider joining the contest. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

nah.

But the fake ones might not do the whole foot moulding thing..

grrah!!! i hate those things lol

http://hafizuddin-.blogspot.com/2006/08/duck.html check out what i write about them

Ah. Two of my swimming coaches wear this. Anti-slip, I guess.

ok fine, i'm willing to accept it for free.

eh kenny, girls also can wear ah? the pink one looks nice!

They probably look better with shorts or bermudas, rather than jeans or slacks.

haha...they r kinda funky...:D

hmm...closest encounter wv a celebrity would b at the flipsyde showcase in zouk this year...met the band...kinda cool...but also met fat fabs from hitz.fm...he was d mc...went on stage for one of the "contests"...made a fool of myself of course...but hell...managed to get friendly enough wv fat fabs that he even rubbed my tummy...haha...yes m fat...but for fat fabs to rub my tummy...dat makes my tummy smth man...lol...:D

it's so popular in S'pore and u can buy pirated versions of CROCS in departmental stores.

my grandma has one! :D

Hey, kenny! Been an avid reader of yours for quite some time now.

My celebrity encounter definitely had to be when i bumped into Paul Moss at the San Francisco Coffee outlet in Uptown Damansara Utama. I was walking out of a cybercafe with my friends when they all pointed to some angmoh across the street and hissed at me, "Isn't that Paul Moss????"

So we went over and sort of stalked him outside the cafe, looking in through the windows to make sure that it was him. Don't wanna be paiseh and greet the wrong angmoh ma. In the end i went in and said "Hello, sir... Are you Paul Moss?"

He was pretty nice, posed for pics with us (thank god for camera phones) and signed a few autographs. =D

I actually got a pair of Crocs but different to the type you have (i.e. the one with holes). My version is the Aspen and have the entire forefoot covered because I use it for working in the operating theatre... and I must say I LOVE them!

Greetings from Melbourne

I used to work at Mediacorp about 6 years back. As there is only one canteen, you get to see the Mediacorp stars there all the time. One incident I will NEVER forget, was a breakfast encounter with Sharon Au. At that time, I reall thought Sharon Au was a nice little thing, and sweet and all that, but all my fantasies were shattered that morning.
I saw Sharon queing up to buy coffee, and she had no bra on!!!!! Oh My GOD!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it! I stared, and stared, but of course, my illusions about her being a nice sheltered and sweet girl were completely shattered, and I now know all the nice facades they put on TV are just that. Nice facades!
And I love Crocs!!!

Not so friendly Celebrity encounter.. went to Sarawak heritage village,Kuching, near gawai festival and saw Nicholas Teo(zhang dong liang) the astro talent winner of year 2002, think he's doing a photoshoot for Gawai... was taking pictures of the dancers in costumes in that particular bidayuh house and one of his publicist or someone came marching over and block my camera saying I can't take pictures, Told her I'm taking pictues of the shield and costumes the so-called celebrtity is blocking, the crowd around me started stiffling their laughters and she went off saying to only take pictures after Nicholas Teo is gone... What a turn off!!

this was back in 2003:

I was shopping along Orchard road with my friend during a weekday and we were heading towards the Mango store at Wisma Isetan (its quite secluded as in it's located real inside Isetan, but nonetheless still a favorite among female shoppers). Apparently, been a weekday, there's not much people around. I was browsing through the rack of clothes when someone bump into me and never apologize. I turned and stare at the person and she just gaze dreamily at me. The first thought that strike was 'this lady has really weird dress sense man, what's with the bright silver sequin short skirt with bright pink sequin high heels'? And she's really skinny with tonnes of make-up. I turned to walk away when my dear friend exclaimed 'Hey! isn't that Cai Yi Ling (Jolin Tsai)?' I was like sure? I try to make up whether the lady who bumped into me is really Jolin. Lo and behold, she is. Oh gosh, one of my favourite celebrity bumped into me and my first thought was like 'what the hell' and I couldn't even recognize her! Slowly, I heard more excited whisperings among the female shoppers in the boutique and her co-workers (I guess so)called out to her by her name (which confirm she is really Jolin Tsai) to leave.

Well that is some celebrity bumping I had :)

Amber Chia...it happend in kuching...well i live here. She was shooting a movie here not so long ago...around one week. My frenz and I were at Scoops opposite Hilton hotel...then we decided to go to Senso...Amber Chia was there...shooting a scene, my frenz didnt notice her until i did. But the sad thing was i didnt get a chance to have a picture with her but 3 of my frenz did... Haha owel..she look hot that night thou..her last words were "Happy Clubbing Guys"...Heheh i wan a pair of Crocs

okay, all out for CROCS-- my juicy encounter with the VERY hot ASHA GILL!
i was in topshop midvalley when i thought i saw asha (yes, i thought--i didnt expect it at all ;p)
and how did i make sure it was really her?? i actually went up to her and asked!! muahaha..and where? right in the fitting room > and what did i do after that? nothing! yes--you read me right--nothing! no pic, no autograph (now guys, dont kill me!~)but i said thanks anyway...ahaha..i bet she's stunt *hiAKZ*
but one thing is true--she IS hot and very tall ^^

I was once in close encounter with AMei. It was 3 years ago in one of the weekdays. She is actually very petite in size and her non-choreographed dance moves were not that great.

Kenny sia, you see i got a crystal ball that says kenny sia is gonna hand me the croc shoe personally instead of Croc themselves. Kenny sia is a celebrity... is he not? online celebrity.

Those Crocs reminded me of the Adidas sandals which 2 of my friends bought from S'pore. Now, I wish to get a pair of Crocs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Showing I am more SYOK than them because I own Crocs rather than Adidas!!!! LOL..

Here it is. Actually she's a HK net friend of mine. Knew her for almost 4 months. Both of us like Terence Yin Zi Wei, a HK star(He's in Rob-B Hood, Jackie Chan's movie so check him out in Sept)soooooooo much. This net friend of mine actually has got the chance to celebrate Terence's BIRTHDAY together at a cafe during May and he offered her a HUG too!!!! How I wish I were there too! She owned a few of those big machine cameras for taking pictures of Terence. She will stalk him wherever he goes HAHA.. but it's alright as long as it's not too over. Her life is soooo interesting. LMAO.. Just click on my name to view the bday pics. I've seen some even more juicier but not so convenient to show it out here.

***PRAY HARD!!! I wanna get a pair of Crocs!!!***

Btw, Kenny, are you a celebrity too? I considered you as one ;P so I can write 'HOW I MET KENNY SIA'.

my close encounter .....my friend's cousin's uncle's brother suppliers toilet paper for siti and latok K's wedding. i guess you can call that a close relationship..with a celebrisiti.....

i was once on the same flight as Amy from the local rock band Search. How i knew? He has this huge frizzy hair thingy going on with Steve Tyler "Aerosmith" facial structures. So my bro dared me to go up to him and ask for Steve Tyler's autograph! He looked pretty embarrased and i was laughing in my seat throughout the entire flight!

Crocs beach. i own a pair of this model. Hav been experimenting it for nearly a yr now, comparing it to my teva terra fi and others..

Main reasons i got the crocs beach was bcos i thought they could be very comfortable (in the hope that they could be more comfortable than teva) and i was persuaded to believe they hav an odourless effect in any condition.

After almost a yr now, I am slightly dissapointed cos i find crocs failed in terms of comfort as many ppl including myself that has actually used crocs on long duration actually develope irritations and sometimes blister. (wic seldom or never occur in teva, esp the high end models.)

And when u have stepped into water or sweat and then still wearing that crocs, U will still find urself end up with stinking feet.

I travel. and i must say Crocs takes up a lot of space (as sandals) and this can be a big disadvantage. (althought crocs are lightweight)

I still prefer teva.

I hav tried teva, nike, and other popular brands.

i will say that crocs range below teva but definitely way above nike. (nike's acg sandals are considered one of the lowest quality in outdoor sandals)

But of cos, there r plenty of positive comments about crocs in their official site and frm sales promoter of crocs wic can be helpful.

SUm positive comment:
Crocs are extremely easy to clean.
the grip is superb.
many ppl find crocs funky and fancy. its defly a form of fashion. perhaps fashion that comes with confidence.

Weird funky footwear.....weird.....

ok..er i got encounter one celebrity ...is Sammy Vellu consider politics celebrity?at least he appear a lot in newspaper and tv due to "ehem certian news" ...this happend in KLCC that when he just came out of toilet with bunch of reporter and his body guard, i din't know he is "sammy vellu" until my friend ask me do u know the indian guy u past thru just now?...i a "bit loudly" said who is he, gang leader ah?...i think mr.sammy vellu look back at me la...he happend to heard my conversation with my friend. oh ...nvm...he cant regonise me i think,...why did those reporter follow him into toilet anyway?

Gayish celebrity encounter ( looks like it) Was in New York last 2 year when we decided to take a picture with the naked cowboy at time square. since we asians are not so tall the compare to the naked cowboy, the scence look like as if my frens grope his ass when they place their hands on his back....look real nasty after we developed the pics. bad stuff o_0

Hi Kenny! This is my very "pai seh" encounter with a celebrity.

A few year back when i was working part time in an event company, i was one of the crew for a particular product launch in Alexis, Bangsar.

The highlight event was a performance by legendary diva Sheila Majid. Dont know about you but i've always wanted to meet her since i was a kid, since the 1st time i heard 'Lagenda'! And so i had the chance of a lifetime to meet her then.

As she arrived Alexis i was to report her arival to the crew members and as i was doing that, i was on my way down a fleet of stairways when there she was.... on the way up the narrow stairs. I told myself...'say hi to her... say hi to her'... then as she brushed by me, i said it "Hi Sheila"... in a very cool way and she replied "Oh HI Sayang.."
MAN!! THE SHEILA MAJID called me sayang!!... and because of that, i fell tumbling down the last few step and sprained my wrist. I was so pai seh whn everyone there saw what happened and i took the rest of the evening off... without seeing Sheila performing.... how sad.

I was at Ikea once looking at the kitchen utensils when I spotted Ferhad across the aisle. Although I do not like him as a singer/celebrity I was pretty shocked and wanted to tell somebody.

AS my dad was nearby, I pulled him close and said "Dad, look there, it's a local singer called Ferhad." My dad, being a very spontaneous person, walked towards him. Knowing him, I knew he was going up to to say "I heard you're a celebrity, can I have your autograph for my daughter?" or something to that effect. So I shouted a bit and quickly pulled him back, trying to restrain him. My dad didn't say anything, but Ferhad looked up at us in bewilderment for sometime before quickly walking away.

That was a close call because I didn't want to be thought as one of Ferhad's fans.

You mean the oh-so-popular Crocs have not reached Kuching yet?! They're everywhere in KL...turn your head and you see dozens of them (in the shops, not the amount of ppl wearing them....yet!). But I've seen ppl going for yoga classes in the gym wearing those crocs.

Yeah, and Carrefour sells the imitation ones for 16 bucks.....can't really tell the difference coz it looks exactly the same!

Hmm, I will give this a shot....

I have met 3 celebrities in my lifetime:-

(1.) Was in the same lift as the Moffats in Kl 3plus years ago. They were singing a tune my ex loved. Weird group btw.

(2.) Met Lleyton Hewitt at Perth last year while he was competing in some tournament at Kings Park. Dude can run and yell.

(3.) Yeah...met Kenny Sia (thats right, YOU) indirectly at Chong Lin Plaza Bodyworld Gym, Kuching. The fellow was doing cardio on the treadmill while listening to his Nano Pod.

Other then that....

GIMME THE CROCS. GIMMEEEEEE...... (I am size 9.5 U.S)

Cheers mate...... from a fellow curtin alumni...

Hopefully this is an interesting (though i find it more embarassing =P) enough encounter...

I currently study in London, and upon reaching home from uni i spot a VERY blonde Claudia Schiffer coming out of that posh-place-that-i-could-never-afford's gate with a male companion.
I was thinking to myself "shoot! stay calm...she's just a model, don't be a freaky fan...damn she has droopy elbows....dudE! she's old nvm she's still damn hot...just overtake her and act cool!"
so off i go bracing the cold and imagined in my mind swooping past her without a care in the world...at least i did that part,
until my winter coat's hoodie string got caught on a parked bicycle and snapped me back *DOING* right back at her.
SH*T! i was grabbing at it and cursing like a sailor with scurvy.
she merely chuckled and walked ahead in front of me again to her parked, black, pimped up Range Rover and her friend drove her off into the...grey sky.

but it's ok since i'm such a klutz, friends nvr fail to enjoy it =)

hehe hope to hear from ya ;)

If you have to buy please buy the alternative shoe that looks just the same, it cost S$5 to S$9.90 and the are just as ugly or good looking. Don't make the American richer, Malaysia are poor enough.

Duh..In a small place like Brunei, spotting a celebrity is like seeing a rat not "hiu-ing" cheese, not quite possible.

But I once saw Deng-Zhi-Zhang in One Utama shopping with his wife. Wife holding elder son's hand and him pushing the baby trolley. Nothing big for residents in KL I think..

umm...do they have size 4 for that shoes???

Abigail Chay WORKS for my aunt. Muahahaha! That means I WIN!

i met sazzy..
it was the filming of GOL&GINCU.. at ampang sports planet..
was part of the crowd control peeps..

someone tried to make fun of her.. when she can't kick into the goal.. and she then look towards my direction and told me to go and become the keeper..

that's about it..

Crocs are gross.... I don't care if they sing to my feet and rock them straight to sleep, they are soooooo ugly!

Okay so it was a result night of the 2nd last round of the first edition of Malaysian Idol. (The night where Vick was kicked out to hand the finalist spots to Jaclyn Victor and Dina)... And it was after the show where we the common people were allowed to ask for autographs and shout like chimpanzees over the sight of our favourite contestants... So yeah i didn't have a favourite among the 3... but my friends went up to jaclyn victor for a picture... so i tagged along.. and i actually found her to be funny and outgoing... and so I asked her for her phone number.. only for her to ask her caucasian boyfriend to come and hand me his number so i could contact him whenever i wanted to contact her.. Now Kenny please help make that utter humiliation on my part worth it by sending me a pair of those wicked Crocs will ya !

Not sure if you'll consider this person as a celebrity or not......

Recently I went to a Jazz Fest to see Sting performing...no, I am not citing Sting as the celeb. Among the audience of 35,000 at the outdoor park, there she is, the President of Finland. Ms Tarja Halonen is among us. So I went up to her and had a few words and took a few picture...the security isnt as tight as you'd expect. And even more amazingly, she stood up on the bench like the rest of us when Sting appeared! And I have picture to prove it.

Seems like I'm longing for getting a pair of Crocs. Nonnie's comment just reminded me of something happened when I was still in primary. I was once a dancer for DENG ZHI ZHANG during his CNY performance in Sarawak Chamber. haha.. Just for that particular show. My friends always tease me about that.

Another one is on 'HOW I MET KENNY SIA'. Remembered the time when Kenny Sia was HONGING THE KONG? Kenny actually posted his HK number here. I sent him a message around 2am asking him if he could help me find a DVD in HK and he replied me! I was laughing so loud when I received his replies. hehe.. Kenny's so nice. The next day afternoon, he text me telling me that he had found what I want with the price and asking me if I wanna get it. Initially, I expected him would forget about it. hehe.. So after a week, he's finally back to Kch. 2 friends with met Kenny up at Scoops, opposite to Hilton. He's soo friendly and nice. Though the atmosphere was a bit weird. haha.. And, I met a friend there. She thought a girl friend of mine was actually Kenny's girlfriend and went back to seat to tell her other friends. I didnt get the chance to explain to her as Kenny was just right behind me. haha.. Sorry Kenny. Rumour flies really fast unless they read about Nicole. Anyway, Kenny is such a sweetie.

This happened a couple of years back.

A friend of mine was heading back to the UK for a new semester. As she checked in late, she was upgraded to 1st class. Being a friendly person, she made small talk to the guy seated next to her...asking what he does for a living.

"i'm in the entertainment industry" he answered.

she continued asking if he could really earn a living in the entertainment industry & he replied..."not too bad"...

A little while later after take off, a teenager walked over and asked...

"Mr. ALI G...i'm a big fan of yours, could i have your autograph?"

My friend wished she was never upgraded that day!!

so this is my encounter with jackie chan.

i was at one utama with a friend and jackie was there promoting the launch of new police story. too many ppl and the crowd was too packed for me to get up close and so i thought what the heck, i can catch him on the big screens instead of making my way through the horde. so i left and went down the stairs to the carpark. as i reached the underground car park, the elevator next to the stairs opened and jackie chan walked out. that way was his 'escape route'. just a couple of bouncers and some security ppl around... i managed to high-five him before he was whisked away in his getaway van.

erm, my rather embarassing encounter with a celebrity is when tis Msian Idol 2 finalists having their autograph session in Tower Records KLCC a year back. Being a Msian Idol 2 noob tat time, i only recognised Daniel Lee and din bother the rest... was very hyped up/excited tat i'm actually seeing the finalists live tat time. so when the session ended, the finalists walked in line to leave the Tower Records. Azam was the 1st followed by Daniel... i was so excited, i shouted Bye "Adam", Bye Daniel.. and Azam gave me 'what the heck' look... and i was like damnit, say byebye to u and u show me tis look... it was only until later that week during the show, i found out tat i actually call his name wrongly... paiseh paiseh wei, so many ppl at there tat time sumoreeee... *blush*

I remember once, I was at genting with my friends. We were sitting this ride cockscrew. While seated down..infront of me was douglas lim and few more of his fellow actors from "gei zi dong guai"

Imagine. For the whole time, there were celebs in front of me..but i didn't notice it. I've got the picture to prove it too...

2nd encounter was kinda embarassing,
i was walking on the car park at 1Utama Petaling jaya, so there i was walking without realising a car behind me... so the guy honked at me... i was like WTH!?!?! i wanted to screw him up when I realise the person in the car was M.Nasir.. I was like OMFG!?!?! i was about to screw a celeb...
oh well....

did i get the shoeS?

what size do they have?

me contact..

Well, i saw jay chou last year at one utama. he was there for an autograph-signing session with fans for his then new album, november's chopin (stupid name yeah, i know). So, after waiting in line for some time, the moment came..i was there standing right in front of him while he signed on my copy of the album. He actually touched my album! Sounds gay right, yeah i know but he did look kinda tired back then, poor guy haha...anyway, that's my only encounter with a celeb other than steven lim, but most of you would go "steven who?" anyway...so yeah...jay chou's the only celeb i've seen/met before...sad life, i know...

Crocks are so god damn ugly

My encounter with a femes person ah...

Kenny Sia lor! I once spoke to him on MSN. Dang friendly lerh that guy. I likes. That's why he's going to gimme a pair of Crocs. Tengkiu in advance. Haiit.

I interviewed Nikki Palikat (a contestant from Malaysian Idol) when she came to visit St. Francis Xavier's Church in Petaling Jaya. ;)

Check out the interview here:

http://bookofjohn.blogspot.com/2004/12/interview-with-malaysian-idols-nikki_29.html

hey Kenny,

I'm actually quite lucky to have encounter a few celebrities during the F1 event held in Malaysia early this year. This is how it happens. After the race, me and my friend climbed over the fence of the grandstand to get a better view of the celebration.. Our grandstand is located quite far from the main stage...so we had to run all the way on the road waving our ferrari flags like hooligans. Too bad Ferrari did not win .. Anyway.. we ended up at the exit of the VIP room.. Somehow we managed to get in and we were just outside all the pit garage of the teams!. As we were walking around in amusement.. we bump into a few drivers and took photos with them.. like David Coulthard, Button, Alonso and my favourite Schumacher.. After hanging around for awhile more.. we saw Dj Tiesto!. I was still having my wrist tag from the the pitparty the night before..so we ended up taking photos and getting autographs. This was by far the best time of my life..

My encounter with a celebrity included Wang Lee Hom and the Kuching Airport a few years ago when he was in Kuching for a mini concert (I think). I'm not into Chinese songs (coz I don't understand them!)so I had no idea he was in Kuching.

Going through the immigrations counter, I had the urge to turn to my right and there was LeeHom in shades and quite-tight jeans, which I remembered to be quite bright in color. I turned to my mom and said "I think that's a famous HK singer lah", to which my mom looked at me like I was on crack and said "Si meh?? Siaw lah, where got, no lah! Don't be ridiculous!"

Sure enough after he past immigrations, those girls from the duty free shops started taking pictures and asking for autograph. So CONFIRM it was him lah. I gave my mom the dirty look and mocked her "Don't be ridiculous LAH!"

I confirmed this with my friends the following week at school and they were like "WHAT??!?! Did you take pictures with him?? Did you talk to him????" All I could say was just "No, not interested". I swear those girls wanted to cekik me. Teeheehee.

Ok, I wonder if Tun Dr. Mahathir is a celebrity or not, but I consider he is since he is one of the most famous man in the world, if not, Malaysia.

I am a Malaysian and for the entire 19 years in Malaysia, I only "met" Tun Dr. Mahathir on the television screen. Till he retired, I still didn't manage to see him face to face although, I admire him as a successful leader. But, when I am in The University of Western Australia, Perth, I was given an opportunity to see him giving a talk about "The World Economics" (or something like that). It was an unforgetable day to meet Tun Dr. Mahathir face to face. A former Prime Minister, whom you have always been admired, standing in front of you, you can imagine how happy I am. After the talk, everyone who attended the talk was given the opportunity to take photos, shake hands, speak one or two words and hug Tun Dr. Mahathir. Being the "not mature" me at that time, I got a paper and a pen and rushed towards Tun Dr. Mahathir to get a signature. Just like what the fans rushing to the top of the stage to get a signature of Jay Chow. Then, of course, I shook hands with him. I'm quite disappointed that I didn't take any photos with him since I don't have my digicam with me that time. At that time, I thought I'm the most fanatic "fan" of Dr. Mahathir. Who knows there was this girl running up to him, holding his hands and shoutedtold him,"Tun, I really LOVE you. You have made Malaysia a successful country!" Everyone was looking at her at that time and I think Tun Dr. Mahathir was also shocked that he has such a fanatic "fan". Just before Tun Dr. Mahathir was about to leave, I went up to him again and shook hands with him for another time:P

It's so weird that I could only meet my former Prime Minister in Australia, not in Malaysia:P

Dude.. the waiters/waitresses at Souled Out wear those Crocs in purple !

"Do you or someone you know have an interesting encounter with a celebrity?"

Ok, i have no idea which the exact definition of a celebrity. Somebody popular? Seriously, i've never had any interesting encounter with a popular celebrity. If politicians are considered as celebrities then i have some interesting encounters.

Any of you remember Datuk Amar Leo Moggie, a former minister during Dr. Mahathir's era? I had an interesting encounter with him a few years back at Parkroyal Hotel KL's gent's!

He was the only other man in the toilet and he was standing next to my urinal. I thought he looked really familiar. After a few seconds, i realised he was Datuk Leo Moggie and as soon as i walked out from the gent's (he went walked out first) i saw a few men in black who ushered him to his official car waiting infront of the hotel lobby.

This may sound rather geeky, but I met the 2001 Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry, Prof. Ryoji Noyori, when he was attending some conference in Jakarta, Indonesia. Asked for a picture with him and he laughed, saying that he isn't a celebrity. Even then, he was all nice and even agreed to give an autograph on some piece of paper that just happened to lie around on a table nearby. And his top tip: regardless how smart you are, you aint gonna win a Nobel if you aren't lucky.

i went to Z Chen's [chinese singer] mini concert 3 years ago with a couple of my close girlfriends. we were 16 and still very immature and LOUD. so then he came out and started singing and me and my friends were all excited and jumpy. and suddenly one of my friends came up with this crazy idea. the five of us was supposed to stand up together hand in hand [the mini concert was held indoors so we were sitting] and shout "Z CHEN I LOVE YOU"...
so we counted from 1 to 3 and...i was the only one who stood up and shouted "Z CHEN I LOVE YOU!!!" the rest chickened out!everyone in the theatre looked at me like i was a freak. and then Z Chen looked at me, smiled and waved.

i nearly died of embarassment!

A few friends of mine and I went to LimKokWing last month to be extras (a.k.a. "kelefei") for the final episode of Gol & Gincu, the Series. Of course, we met almost all of the major actresses/actors of tht TV series. More details here:

http://navicgator.blogspot.com/2006/07/week-that-was-part-ii.html

So... do I win myself a pair of Crocs? Hehe

Oh yeah, that day i bought a webcam. after trying it a few times, the display looks familiar.
Then i opened the Paris Hilton famous sex video and said "oh yeah Paris, so this was the webcam you used to record your sex video huh?, you bitch"

THAT WAS MY ENCOUNTER WITH A FAMOUS CELEBRITY.

I need crocs Kenny Sia Dot Com. :)

nt from msia but would like to share this la.
haha.
went for energy's autograph session last yr...
waited for hours and it was finally my turn!
went up and shook their hands and stuff (smilesmile "thank u!")
when i was standing infront of milk and shaking his hand, he suddenly said a whole lot of stuff to me...
i was damn surprised...and the stupid thing is that i couldn't hear a single word of it cuz the stereo was blasting too loudly JUST RIGHT BESIDE THE TABLE. (and i was at the end of the table too. lucky i didnt go deaf > so i was just staring at him with a blank look while he continued talking...
and in the end i only said "thank you" and went down.
god.

bill keith designer is supposabably a famous person in the design industry.. but i didn't know that, and there was a discussion in class about him..

and then so happen when i was in a relative house a week later, i over heard his name in a conversation, and then i started telling my mom and other aunties about the weird things i heard of him in college...

she then whispers to me (he is beside you)

Kenny, Can i get my croc????
Please???

this happened a few months back in jakarta. i was working at a cafe, sorting the catering for a press conference for a big haircare company in indonesia. the MC for that day was Olga Lydia (apparently some model, i was told...)

she walked in (no makeup yet), and she was absolutely gorgeous! anyway, she left for her make up session after that, got back about half an hour before the event was scheduled to start (with her makeup..even more gorgeous!)

anyway, i went up to her to say hi, and to ask her if she'd mind having some photos taken with the cafe staff, she happily obliged, i thanked her for it, and it struck me that she spoke english with a very attractive accent!

anyways, spoke to her for a few minutes, gave her a box of chocolates, asked for her email (didn't want to come across as being too pushy you see) and told her to call if she was in malaysia...i then found out over the next few days that she's actually quite big in indonesia, starring in movies and all that, and being pretty vocal in politics too....

so yeah, that's my story, didn't have the starstruck thingy cos i didn't realise she was that famous :P

cheers!

"Don't get me wrong, I still love my Nikes, but I can walk all day, step through rainwater, wriggle my toes in my Crocs, and not end up with smelly feet at the end of the day. CAN YOUR NIKES DO THAT?"

Don't know about Nike, but my pair of GoreTex shoes can do that.

Malaysian addresses ONLY arh.. *sigh*

was at dome, suntec city singapore with 2 friends having coffee break when we noticed ah niu sitting alone beside our table drinking his coffee. get to have his autograph but the shocking thing was after he finished his drink and was about to leave, he was asked to pay the bill!

so he proceeded to the counter. however he had no money with him, had to wait for a friend to come (probably 15-20 mins wait) to pay his bill! incredible! celebrity no money to pay bill for coffee? huh?

Well to say i have quite a few encounters with celebrities... but this has gotta be the most embarassing of all.

As few weeks prior to that, i went to the showcase of the group 5566 with a few friends who pestered me to bring them there. And so i frantically searched for a 5566 album to be autographed, as a gift to my gfren then. On the way out i noticed a poster that says Energy were to appear at the same location in 2 weeks or so. Told my gfren about it and she pestered me to bring her there.

On that fateful day, i arrived with my gfren who was very enthusiastic just in time to realise the autograph signing session was over. My gfren was pretty mad at me, so walking towards the car then, at the traffic light, i saw fans chasing a black car and Energy was right inside it. Managed to get a high 5 from one of them tho, not a wasted trip i guess. Hehe thatz about it!

There was this one time I was in KLCC(the ground floor of one of the towers, not the shopping mall), happily walking along. Then this malay guy sort of bumped into me, said excuse me. I turned around and holy shit, Mahathir was right behind me and the malay guy was one of his many body guards surrounding him and i was in their path. Felt damn paise man, quickly walk off.

since i do not have a malaysian address, i shall not participate seriously...

"Do you or someone you know have an interesting encounter with a celebrity?"

answer: no

Well, i dun get in touch with english celebrities often with the fact that i am staying in malaysia. Duh!!! Malay celebrities? i don't even know if i have met up with them even if i were 2 bump into them. ( No offence -_- )

Check it out, i have heard of the duo "Too Phat" since like, primary school and they came for a guest performance in my university recently and sad to say, no one could recognize those popular celebrities among the crowd. Beat that !!!
ooo...

However, its chinese celebrities that i am familiar with. Why? Haha, coz they use 2 make trips to our university for promos courtesy of our very own song composing club which invites them of and on. Eric lim, Danny one, Fish Leung, Michael n Victor, Yu Heng, which is comming this 6th of September 2 our uni for the 2nd time.

This is how my story goes.....................
Well, there was once i was off with my friends to this cafe called Mongkok cafe and restaurant at SS2 if u folks know where that is, its at famous hangout place in PJ, where i come from. Upon planting our butts at our seats, we noticed a gal sitting opposite us, HOT !!! her long smooth hair drapped over her back with perfect features and not to mention a very very clear complexion indeed. All of us were glued to her that we didn't noticed the waiter by our side taking orders. @_@ Now thats something u would expect from a group of guys chillin out on a saturday nite. =_=''' After a few glances, finally we couldn't resist and sent out a representative to get her number. Of course he must be the most good lookin among us. Lol. Haha

Upon returning with a long face, he showed us something which led us to similar facial expressions with him.

On his hand was a business card with a name on it " Amber Chia "

With awe, we were so ashamed that within 5 minutes, we finished all the food on our table, waved a brief goodbye to the confused hot model and went off to another hangout spot of us, Flam pub.

We later found out that that particular cafe was Amber's favourite hangout spot and we were surprised that that was the 1st time we met her there after all the frequent visits we paid 2 that cafe.

And maybe wearing one of those crocs which bro Kenny gave so much credits to, i might return to that same old place and ask her out instead of gettin her number. Wahahahahaha...............

Damn, i must be dreaming too much. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ha.. I don't want the crocs actually, don't send to me, I'm wearing size 6 shoes, I like purple color.

I took bus from Petaling Jaya to Singapore and get long long way to Changi Airport (the cheapest air fare I get).. slept overnight at airport and flew to Taipei to see Gary Chaw.

It is because I can't get his autograph CD when he was in Malaysia. I just manage to see him only a scene when he left the shopping mall(vanue of autograph session).

Im feel very very surprise and happy because he recognise me (where I came from only)when we met each other in Taipei autograph session (same day my birthday). I got the best birthday present this year, autograph CD with birthday wish from him.

My experience was with this malay local celebrity call JJ. Few years ago, i was working in bum equipment as a promoter for fun. My colleagues are all malay. I am the only chinese there. Then, on a faithful weekday afternoon, this mid 20ies man walked into the shop. The 2 malay female promoters went bonkers... i was blur as hell to why my colleages suddenly fa chiao. Then they told me that he's JJ. Then i went:"siapa JJ??" ... they were like:"dia artis tempatan, sangat popular tau!!!" ... then i said:"tak tau" .. -.-"

Then, he looked at me and walk pass my colleague who was standing beside him. He was walking towards my direction and was smiling at me. Then, i just turn around and walk away and let my colleague serve him. I thought that his face look yong shui and hamsap that's why i was rude.

Till today, i still dunno he is famous for what in malaysia.

Now that i have shared my story, can i have my share of crocs puhleeaaassseeeee? Those crocs looks really cute... i wanna own one =(

its funky..i want too =D erm but i don hav any kind of exp that u need or someone that i knew :(

I would love a pair.

But yes, not to deflect from the main point . Here's my rather interesting encounter with a celebrity . I was a member of the Asia Works training . So after course ended and the juniors graduated we all had a drink in hartamas. So I was having an engaging conversation with this malay girl .. She asked me if I would like to meet her mom and she happens to be Sheila Majid's daughter.. I wasnt quite aware of that . So as we were sitting down and the adults were having a conversation . Sheila Majid was talking about a new album release. Note that I was still not aware she was Sheila Majid . So I stupidly asked

"Eh aunty , You can sing wan ar?"

You should have seen the look on everyone's faces. That still cracks me up until today I swear.

Well... my friends and I were at Lot10 Tower Records and one of my male friend radar spotted a hot chick. He being heroic and hamsup too decided to go up to her in hope to land himself his number. I think he gave some cheesy pick up line, walked with her around the store and pestering her for her number. Upon reaching the cashier, we realized Amy Search was queuing at the back of them. We were like "Eh! Isn't that Search buying CDs?" and right after that Amy tapped my friend on the shoulder and said "Excuse me, can you leave my girl alone before I drive you up the wall?". My friend's head hang low and quietly scootered out of the way with us laughing like hyenas in the background. When his daughter leave the store, she chuckled and wave goodbye to friend who is still far too embarassed to do anything.

during my shower this morning, i saw a rock star in his birthday suit

My celebrity encounter: I went to NYC for Christmas 2005. It was my first time in NY, and I had the silly expectation that I would see celebrities everywhere. After 3 days of non-celebrity sightings, I went to Madison Square Garden for a Knicks Vs. Jazz basketball game, and Lindsay Lohan was sitting in the front row. My friends and I ended up spending more time staring at Lindsay Lohan's head than the game. Hey, at least we could say we saw a celebrity in NY :)

My fren brushed past Fione Xie's boobs once at Zouk.sg

I once worked as a cadet reporter and had the opportunity to cover a function at RTM in Kuching. Datuk Jamali Shadat was there and there was this RTM personnel who offered me to talk to him. I was like ok altho I had absolutely no idea know who the heck Datuk Jamali was at that time (I was only 16!). So I pretended to know his background and chatted with him quite a bit, which in return, he told me lots of his experience in the entertainment arena with lots of jargons I did not understand. When he finally found out that there was something fishy going on, I couldn't take it any longer and was like, "I'm sorry but who are you actually?" Mempersiasoikan.

Oh gosh.... these shoes/clogs/sandals are the latest trend here in Canada and the States..... they even hv rainbow ones... yeap, just a fad... a fad that you will soon look back and go - WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?!?!? .... Just like pull down pants and the t-shirt that will change colour with the heat of your body, popular in the early 90s. I will be one that will never buy them.

I was in Langkawi with my family eating Chinese seafood beside the road when we heard the table behind us speaking in American accented English "food in LA bla bla bla" when my aunt turned around and exclaimed, "Ei? that guy looks like Frodo. Isit Frodo?" We didn't believe her until the Malay family beside us called Elijah Wood to take a picture with them (all 8 of them --"). Naturally, we took advantage of the situation too. Apparently he was there for the opening of Four Seasons Langkawi.

Hi Kenny, thought I insert my 2 cents worth. Crocs shoes are actually designed for boaties as they are sturdy and non-slip, ideal for when you go fishing. That explains why the holes are for - water shoes!? Gawd... didn't realise Asians can be so suaku!

crocs is a great footwear!

Met up with JJLin and Ah Du in January at Hilton Hotel in KL Sentra. My friend met them on a plane and they called us to have a drink at hotel's cafe. I wanted to bring them out for supper but they are on a strict diet routine, cannot get too fat. We lepak till 3.30am in the morning and finally called it a day. Managed to get JJ's HP number(I don't know whether it is still working or not). I even have photos to prove.

So can send me my CROCS?

I happen to know lots of celebs... from NSYNC to Beyonce, to Jay Chow to HYDE, and Gackt...even you kenny!!! i know them from all sorts of places...from tvs and radios, newspaper and magazines and even the internet... the only thing is they don't know me...

so there it is... i had an encounter with kenny sia... one fine day i was chatting with my sister in MSN about blogging and she popped up the question..."have you read kenny sia's blog before??" so i said, he does sound familiar to me... and then, she gave me the link to this site...

i clicked on the link and there i had an encounter with Kenny Sia...a local but very influencial celeb rity... i get to read all sorts of stories about him in this site from happy to sad to angry... from that day onwards, this site has been my favourite reading zone... :D

p/s: if i win can you send me the croc shoes in a size 10? it's not for me but for my boyfriend... he's been suffering from an ingrown toe for more than 10 years...going to the doctor doesnt help coz it keeps growing... so i was hoping to win these shoes for him to protect his toe...

thanks...

Try this for a celebrity encounter:-

I was busy chasing around the Hitz.fm cruisers with my ex for a chance to win a pick-up truck. Nonetheless, I had to stuff down 4 cili padi as soon as possible. After the ordeal was done and I found out I lost, I wanted to go meet Phat Phabes but KNNCCB, the bugger was busy checking out my ex! Celaka betui...

Celeb encounter? Erm, well I'm studying in Melbourne and my art class had an excursion to the National Gallery of here to see some Picasso paintings. At the end of our excursion, a teacher came up to me and my friends and whispered to us that she saw Hugh Jackman (Wolverine from XMen). I was like, "no way...!", but still followed the teacher to see if she was actually telling the truth. When i turned the corner, I almost bumped into the man himself. At the same time, I was saying "Where is Jackman?" I don't know if he heard me, but he just ignored my voice. *Phew* it was so embarassing... haha...! Didn't get a photo with him, was too embarassed to ask...! He was also with his son and wife visiting the Picasso exhibition.

this is good for stinky feet. but they're butt ugly.

During my last trip to HK in January, I met Eric Tsang, Cheung Tak Ming, and Chapman To (and his wife) at a Crossing Borders charity event...

Queued up for hours to meet Leo Ku at an autograph session... had Ron Ng step out of his car in front of me...

Was definitely a celeb-encounter adventure ;)

these clogs are for you to plod around your garden in. at least that's what we use them for in the U.S. of course, for garden use they come without the holes.

new zealander wear tis kind of shoes now..quite cute..

Celebrity encounter... two years ago, when I went to London for a holiday,my friends and I decided to dine at the Four Seasons Restaurant at Bayswater. (ask any Malaysian who has been studying in London and they would vouch for the yummy roast duck and char siew there). We were busy stuffing our faces full with roast duck and rice when Carmen Soo walked right into the restaurant. And believe it or not, nobody recognised her. The captain of the restaurant said "Oi dang har" (you have to wait for a while) and she did. She was very well groomed, dressed in cream coloured pants and a wool jacket and her hair was in tied up in a bun. She had minimal make-up on and boy, was she thin. My friends and I were too goofed to say anything except look at her in awe. And the best thing? She took the table next to ours. So we had yummy roast duck and hot eye candy for dinner.
I suppose we really can't blame some celebrities for wanting to travel to European countries where they can just walk around in town like any other citizen on the street and not be bombarded by paparazzi/fanatic fans. :) The downside? They're not famous enough yet... kikikih...

Hey Kenny, I wan da CROCS too...

"Do you or someone you know have an interesting encounter with a celebrity?"

i met this guy called kenny sia at a 17 year old's birthday party and he was so out of place. he sat on the couch alone watching world cup(england match) and everyone was afraid of him as the osim pictures scared the hell out of us. lol.

I practically bumped "into" Awie (yes...the singer/actor) once at Mahkota Parade, Melaka. It was on a Saturday and with the sales season going on there were droves of peepz clogging up the main entrance. I was entering the building when Awie came out with two bodyguards in a hurry (leaving the place after some event I think). It was kinda crowded so I was kinda in his way LOL. I sorta clumsily stepped left and right to let him through but he did the same thing as well haha. Then we both kinda smiled and I stood aside to the left and he left saying thanks hehe...

Considering where I work, I could have an unfair advantage! ;-)

Ok, no names but last week, I took a photo of my friend (who will kill me if I named her) in bed with two hot male model/actors, recently in Kuching to shoot a movie. Juicy enough?

I want those shoes too~ They look awesome~!!

Simon Yam was the celebrity i encountered I was working in a kodak shop in klcc and Simon was the spokesman for Canon. One day, we were told he's coming for a visit to the shop. OH my god. I quickly put on my make-up (only lipstick lar). Then when he was there, talking to our shop owner and i was standing there, giggling like child, waiting anxiously. When they finished talking, i INSTANLTY quickly took a step forward and asked him, "can i take a picture with you?".
He smiled and jokingly said, "I saw that you are very excited behind there. Waiting for a long time, huh?" Kinda paiseh, making me blush coz the whole shop was laughing at me. He continued "Of course i would like to take picture with a pretty girl like you." ^_^

So i had my pictures taken...a couple of it. I think it's still posted at the kodak shop in KLCC, on the right side of the wall.
I have to dig out my own softcopy of it. It's somewhere in the cds.

Between, age has caught up with Simon Yam. Althought he's not as macho and muscular looking as he is in the movies, he's still one good looking movie star, with a good attitude too. ;-)

This happened a few years back, when David Beckham came to Malaysia (back then he was still with Man Utd-yes I know quite old stuff). Anyway, me and my friend, we went to see him along with like 10 billion people... Okay fine it wasnt 10 billion it was more like 400-450 people. After waiting for 2 hours, this guard just came and started yelling "Siapa tangkap bola boleh jumpa Beckham" before he kicked 5 balls into the crowd. Me and my friend, we caught the 4th ball and tried to con the guard to bring us both in but he said only one so I went. The bloke was quite nice, teaching us the art of taking free kicks and penalty (Although the bugger missed his at Euro 2004)He even came and asked for our names and gave us all personal tips. The organisers even gave us some money if we could score a free kick. After that we just when to shakehands, hug, take photo, ask for autograph with Beckham.

I also met Serena C, she came to KDU to talk about Australia Week. We won the quiz and took pictures with her quite nice. Also shook hands with Pop Shuvit when they came to our school prom which was sponsored by hitz.fm WOOT

i met ahniu in around 1997 when he performed in my school right after he won the hailuo competition. Somehow after his performance the school building gate is locked, and he was standing in front of me (i'm around 170cm so much taller than him), raising his head and anxiously asking "how can we go out? how can we go out??". So cute =p

we managed to get the jaga to open the door later =D

kenny..you can even find a lil crocs store just round the corner in Freo E Shed Market a year or so back..i got myself a bright red pair and just love them. This crocs can go down in the water (sandy beach) or even up the ground (climbing mountain) cuz they arent slippery at all. How good are they!! I think they orginate from Singapore if i'm not wrong. They're funky if you wear them with soldier-print pants

dude...they look weird to me...

I want, I want those shoes!!!! Please give it to me..... Pretty pleeeeze!!!!!

Went for a stroll at the Waterfront two weeks ago with a group of friends after a stuffed dinner at Hartz chicken. Was not expecting anything until suddenly, I saw Amber Chia sitting on the bench. Though I was hallucinating or something. Then there is this bunch of people I thought I have seen somewhere but couldn't remember. Next thing, I saw video cameras and it still didn't hit me that until later I realised they were shooting some film at the Waterfront and I'm still blur about it. Only when I read the newspapers then I realised that I actually met the whole crew of Possesed and I didn't do anything about it. What more, I had my digi cam with me and me, being blur, missed the opportunity of being a shutter bug! How blur can I get??? (Sigh!)

My encounter with a celebrity was with Ms Lina Teo former Ms Malaysia. I was at Jazz Fest Mount Kiara this Year and She was co-hosting together with William Quah. So after the band performed Lina Teo and William Quah went on the stage to get the crowd excited for the next band. Lina in particularly was talking about some petition on saving the rain forest in malaysia. When she came down from the stage i went up to her to take a picture with her. She then asked me whether can i write my name for the petition. I asked her what was it for, at that time i didnt knew what it was for cause i was busy talking to my frens not paying attention to what the she was saying on stage :P. She of course scolded me in a nice way, gave me a short lecture about what she was trying to say on stage and told me to listen to the emcee next time. Haha at the end i wrote my name on the petition and took a photo with her. She was pretty friendly and nice.

Once I and a group of friends were having Dinner with Afdlin Shauki. We just had a bowling tournament Then a man carrying a bag sat near us. He then approached us offering a Buli Balik pirated VCD, and even stated that the main cast looks like Afdlin! And the film is not even out yet!

actually, the part that the man trying to sell the VCD was jus a figment of my imagination...

I had an all-access pass (thanks to my cousin who was also performing that night) to the Forces of Nature Concert last year so i took the opportunity to go backstage.

So I saw Gloria Ting and Nick Carter chatting (they were so flirting!). And right after Gloria left, i wanted to ask for his autograph but i didn't want to appear so eager in front of my cousin (he's anal about me being star-strucked!) so with a big grin on my face, i said to the backstreet boy, 'hey you've gained some weight!'.... and kept walking...

I've been a fan of Leo Ku (of Hong Kong) for many years. In his previous visits to Malaysia, I only managed to go for one of it and I can only see him from a distance when he was performing... that was a few years ago. I didn't even get a chance to get his autograph cuz' my friend gave me this 'are you crazy?' look.. when there were so many people queueing for it. So.. we left.. only to find out later Mr Ku actually signed for everybody before he left. grrrr...

Anyway....

In April 2004.. I was so happy that he'll be in KL - for the re-launch of Redbox in Low Yat. I met up with some friends (who're fans of his).. some came from Indonesia and Singapore. We bought some flowers and I was supposed to pass a bouquet of sunflowers to Leo on behalf of a Singaporean fan who couldn't make it for the event.

After the launch etc... It was autograph session. I have his 'Games' CD which is already signed with my name on it cuz' I ordered it through the fan club in HK. I was hoping to let him sign on the poster instead but later found out they'll only give priority for those who're having the CD. So I let him 're-sign' the CD instead.

The moment he saw me and his signature on the CD, he asked 'Wah? Already signed? So, where am I suppose to sign now?'. I told him that I got the CD from HK,.. and he could sign anywhere he wished.. then he looked at me while pointing at the centre of the CD cover 'I sign here la'.

I said thank you...shook hand..got my CD.. but somehow.. He looked at me like... he's having doubts about me... like weird... (do I have something on my face? i wondered...)

I walked away.. almost reaching the staircase to get down from the stage.. then I look at my left.. I wanted to slap myself. I was still holding the bouquet of sunflowers... I've forgotten to pass the flowers to him!? I quickly turned back (and those crew was trying to stop me)..I went to Leo and said sorry.. I've forgotten to pass the flowers to him. He kept saying thank you continously for a number of times with a big smile.. then when I was at the staircase, he was still looking at my direction with the handwave and nodding his head.. I can still see his mouth movement saying thank you.

heheh.. my friends said I got starstruck! No wonder he was looking at me like one kind just now.. like "err... are those for me? but why are you not giving it to me?" Quite an experience for my first face to face encounter with Leo... He really looked nice (and he's really nice!).. and looked better in person than in pictures. He looked like he got this aura in him as well.. like there's ray of light following him all the time.. Maybe that's what you call a star quality?

Hmm, I saw that kinda shoe before quite sometime ago in Singapore if I'm not wrong. Kinda weird when I looked at the design that time, I still remembered the sales person told me that it's good for out feet or something...yet it's not cheap!

Anyway, my encounter with a celebrity was quite a number of it. Cause I use to work as a designer in one of a event company previously...having events with AStro...

I want the croc shoe too! :)

My encounter is with YONG BANG, a singaporean star who used to be a bit more famous sometime ago =p

Anyway, that time, me and my frens heard that the Halo Cafe in Petaling Street is having this mini concert kinda stuff for a Taiwanese star. So, we thought, what the heck, since we were free, just SIT in. BTW, We actually very kiasu-ly went very very early to get the best seats:).

ANyway, Yong Bang came early & actually passed by our table when he arrived & none of us KNEW it was him ( he wasn't exceptionally good-looking ;p ).

He kept smiling to us very nicely & we actually thought he's one of those friendly Halo employees. Its only when he got on the stage that we notice that 'OMG, I think he walk past us jz now!'

And then, the worst part is, my fren wanted to take a pic with this shy cute tall malaysian singer dueting with YONG BANG , so we crept up to the office to ask the guy to come out and take pic with us after the singing session.

Unfortunately for YOng Bang, the moment we opened the curtain doorway, he saw us and he thought we were looking for him to take pic & he was actually almost walking out when my fren asked him very politely whether we can take picture with the other guy(who looked a bit shocked at that time)...;p

Anyway, we did take a pic with YONG BANG after that...so it wasn't really so hard on him afterall...hehe

Hmm...wonder if this counts as an interesting celebrity encounter...hopefully *pray pray* ^_^

my email: lynst2002@yahoo.com

i do haf edison chen on my icq list, as well as my phone list. but i'm not dying for the shoes so.. no thanks. :)

My encounter with a celebrity:

I was out one night with my friends one night at Bing, when my cousin irene appeared with an uber famous blogger in tow. After talking crap and watching Mr Femes Blogger take photos of his food, we decided to go get smashed at Soho. Mr Femes Blogger had both his eyes (and maybe coconuts) trained on a cute chick sitting a few tables away and my cousin had to get the chick to come over and say hi to us.

And Mr Femes Blogger smacked my hand because I shook hands with the chick first. Nyeh nyeh nyeh.

Heh.

Thought you might like me to rehash this incident, Kenny.

My gay friend and his partner were having a really big fight on London Bridge to the extent that they were hitting one another, suddenly this american guy kinda tried to stop their fight. My gay friend than realised that it was David Hasselhoff from Baywatch and said f**k its David Hasselhoff from from Baywatch.

Than they both started fighting again and told David to F**k off and mind his own business next time....that was classic!!

all you lucky people who have had your brush with famed celebrities shouldn't get the crocs!

i was chatting backstage with Sebastian, after Jamie Cullum's concert, asking if he was tired out, only to realise the next day, sebastian was the drummer for the concert.

pity u werent there kenny.

This happened a century ago when I was a receptionist at a beachside hotel here in KT. Sheila Majid had checked in with her then-husband into the hotel. When I had returned from my break, I was agast to realize that before she checked out, she gave out and signed posters to the staff at the counter. I missed my opportunity!

Then *jeng jeng jeng* I see her back at the hotel! She missed her flight! It probably wasn't procedure, but I wrote a note asking her for a memento and got the bellman to send it. I wasn't expecting much at all, she had just missed her flight and was probably not in the mood.

Boy, was I wrong! A few minutes later, she and then-hubby came down to the lobby with a big poster and approached the Assistant Manager, asking for a marker pen! She asked for my name and signed it for me, right at the counter!

I tell you, who would go to such lengths for a lowly receptionist fan? She's a gem!

your blog seems all fine to me until today! you've just sold yourself away... and i'm pretty sad that this is happening... I believe you would know that this is the beginning of everything.. wouldn't you?

No harm in trying for something free.... Can I tell a few and you decide which is juicier?

1- I was out in Mid Valley with my friend. We were walking around in Metrojaya when we bumped into Reshmonu and his wife. My friend was his back up singer so she knew him and they exchanged hugs and everything and introduced me to him and his wife.... don't think he will remember me after that though....

2- I accompanied my godsister for an audition for a tv show in Singapore. The audition was conducted very casually at the director's home and so we went there and the other casts were there too. Alvin Wong was one one of them. So we hung out and chatted like buddies which was really cool. Unfortunately, my godsister didn't get the part and I'm probably forgotten.

I want the CROCS.

i'm a jb guy.
yesterday i saw in s'pore... tot it's soo ugly... now i know.. it's fashion.

i've seen it in readers digest, but never seen it in real market, i want.

The first time i saw this shoe from Crocs is at LCCT. We were on our way to another destination and waiting for two of our friends from KL who'd be joining us as well. When he arrived, all that we saw was his bright pink croc shoes. We all couldn't help but laugh at his shoes and one of us even blurted that he looked so girlish with the color he had chosen, what more with the funny looking shoes.

Anyway, he said the shoes are really comfy and it is the rage now. Throughout the trip, we couldn't help commenting on his shoes and we even tried it out.

Have not seen them here yet but I am sure it'll be soon.

Was in a commercial with Park Ji-sung (the Manchester Utd footballer) :)

My friend, called me out once and introduced me to the famous blogger Kenny Sia and his Kuching-Japanese friend.

I think I held the current Miss Malaysia/World 2006's hands before.
She was my kindergarten classmate~ Muahaha..
Now gimme my pair of crocs~!

I didnt know Crocs Malaysia would go these low to promote their products. Attack Kenny Sia's readers. How 'genius'? Yeah right. Cheap guys, cheap.

What next? Proton? Wait. Something even better. Maybe MAS plane tix offers for Kenny's readers! Wonderful.

well here goes, i was at one of the goverment open house during RAYA, i was eating with my meehoon and some delicious rendang when the ex prime minister, Mahathir came up to me and say, " how's the food ? i personally love the rendang, go ahead tar pau if you want"

I was shocked and chocking. he pat my back and handed me a packet of yeos. that moment really make me think he's just human and when it comes to festives season, everyone should be human.

Most memorable time with a celebrity :)

Hey Kenny, my friend is so going to kill me for telling you this but anyways...

"Do you or someone you know have an interesting encounter with a celebrity?"

This friend of mine works in one of the Starbucks chains in Sydney Australia, it was just a normal day when it became special as Mischa Barton (O.C gal) came in with 2 body guards for coffee. You see, Mischa came down under for David Jones's fashion show and just so happen to be in the city doing some photo shoots.

So anyways, that's really exciting right? when we asked our friend "eh, so did you speak to her?" my friend said "yea, of course"
us: "what did you say to her?"
him:"oh, she took someone's else coffee so i had to tell her that wasn't hers and that im still making her coffee..."

pengz

Was driving on the road at my usual slow speed, since i'm a law-abiding citizen( plus my car is a 14 year old proton), the traffic light turned from green to yellow and i was quite a distance away, so i slowed down and i could have made it but i thought what's the rush? Then the car behind me was impatient and honked me, i looked in my rearview mirror and saw Adam Carruthers from 8tv. Oh well, that's the closest encounter i had with a celebrity.

I met JJ Lin when he was having a promo tour few years back. Literally I was standing 3 feet away from him [this happened at the back of the stage when he was preparing to go on stage]. He looked so handsome and all I did is smile at him and he smiled back. Hai....so close yet so far!!!

My closest encounter with a mega star has to be Chow Yuen Fatt. In one of the malls in singapore many many years ago. Knowing his mega fame, he walked around with his hands behind him, flashing his megawatt smile :)

Soo Kui Jien. My type of sugar. I thought he looked familiar when he sat down next to me at StarBucks. Then I wonder where I've seen that face before. Then I wonder again. And I wonder. Must be the caffeine. I'm intolerant yet loves coffee. When I finished wondering and the bricks fell on my head oh my god it's my soo kui jien! - I turned my chair towards him to start my teeny booper thing and I came face to face with some stranger who seemed to be quite interested what I 'have to say' to him.

my people, lesson learnt : time is precious and stop wondering. Just do whatever you have to do, then, wonder my friend, wonder away~

I've met quite a no. of celebrities. Hmmm, let me see. Those that I can remember are Kenix Kwok, Ping Guan, Brian McKnight, Backstreet Boys, Nicholas Tse, Candy Lo, Shaggy, and some others that I dun recall. Pea-brain lah, what to do!

Thanx to blogging, the only one that I got in words(easy to refence mah) is that of Jessica Simpson. Was in NYC for spring break and wandering aimlessly ard SoHo which was kinda weird since pretty much everyone seems to be rushing off to somewhere. So I was on the phone, and when I turned ard there was this big hoo-hah. Rooted there kinda stunned, I saw this blonde girl couple of feet away. Out of the 5 sec I saw her, took me 3 to realize it's Jessica Simpson.

Was browsing thru Polo boutique in 1Utama Phase 2 end of last year cos they had this big 'SALE' sign stuck to its windows. I was dying to get my classic Polo shirt and hoping to get a bargain.

After I got into the boutique, me & my girlfriend looked through the outfits and suddenly all the entrance to the boutique was locked by the staff. There was another group of customers in the boutique 'locked inside' with us. Amongst them was this 'ahkua'
