Another celebrity encounter!

|
Technically, two.

I'll start with the first one.

So, the other day I was at Causeway Bay walking towards Times Square. I stopped when I saw someone who looked vaguely familiar. It was...... Janice Man. Ah, this is my second Janice Man encounter! I was surprised at how calm I was... Didn't flinch or anything. She was walking with her friend and chatting... There wasn't anyone following her except a single photographer snapping pictures of her every so often... I happened to be in a photo :X I swear, if I ever get a chance to see her again, I'll definitely ask for a photo (but will forever remember my inferiority to her beauty blah blah blah).

Earlier on in the week, Lucy decided to make a visit from Taiwan. I took her to all the hotspots... We had Japanese rice pizza for lunch!

Now, onto our celebrity encounter! We were soo exhausted by the end of the day.... But even so, we decided to go to dimsum.... at 3 in the morning. We also went with Amanda, Maggie and her roommate, Mina. So, we were happily eating our hargows and siumais when the shopowner vehemently declared, "Your idol is here!" I didn't know what she was talking about... but low and behold, when I turned around... I saw.... Eason Chan!!!11111

Uh huh. Yeah. Top male singer of Hong Kong.... Eason Chan! We were all so starstruck (okay, maybe only Maggie and Amanda)... We wanted to talk to him so badly but we didn't want to interrupt his meal or anything. So we just sat there and waited... and waited... Until we couldn't wait anymore and we just asked him to take photos with us.

He was such a nice guy! His English was really good too. We chatted for a good 10 minutes or so... and took a bunch of photos.

With the owners. How pathetic do I look? :)

I'm so lucky. Honestly... I've been here only three months and I've already bumped into two celebrities! I heard Nicholas Tse visits that dimsum restaurant often too--maybe I should camp out there or something.

Anyway, what have I been up to lately? Busyyyyyyyyyyyyy. SO freakin' busy with dance. 6~8 hour practices a day have become the norm. It's exhausted me completely, but I am soo pleased with the results. Not only was our performance fantastic (imo), but I made a lot of new local friends, which is something I really wanted to do on exchange.

With YY, Novem & Leaf.

I've been really busy so I haven't been able to see my family too often... My cousin, his wife and their son Joshua came to visit from Taiwan! :) It was his birthday the other day.

He's such a cutie pie :)
