The three men.
1.
PaulThis guy is absolutely charming. Creating ambience and mood in the hotel's dinning hall, he is singing and playing on the piano as accompaniment. He has really good vocal .. oh manz.. almost drowned in his voice. So while my aunt and I were waiting for the transport to pick us up, he was my only souce of entertainment. Perhaps I am the only person who was paying attention and smiling at him, he constantly flashing smiles at me. My aunt though was getting impatient with the transport, noticed the "communication" and questioned "why does he keep smiling and looking at you?"
well... hahaha.. anyway.. He dedicated a song, My Girl to me. aww.. so sweet right? I saw envy in the eyes of many audiences. hahah.. I am the only person to get this nice gesture until he logged off from work. After that, he introduced himself to me, exchanged our names and provided a bit info of ourselves. Being charmed, I left my email address when he asked for it. so yeah.. hahaha..
2.
A caucasian in green shirtI was climbing up a flight of stairs at a temple. It is really steep, about 60 degree. My aunt forbidded me to climb because it would mean life and death if I rolled down the stairs,but I wanted to get a bird view of Chiangmai city. So I climbed the stairs and missed my step. Luckily, I grapped and held on to a protuding tile. At the mean time, a hand extended to me and I looked up.. ta da! a caucasian in green shirt. He was offering his hand for me to hold on to. Gentleman right? Then after I made my way down and reached the ground level, he cheered for me. haha..
3.
The famous English football manager, Fabio CapelloI am not a fan of football. Besides AC Milan, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, David Beckham, Michael Owen, Ronaldo, Ronaldino and Alex Furgurson ( I think I mispelled his name), I knew nothing about the football scene. So when the world famous Fabio Capello appeared at the luggage claim in Chiangmai airport, I was busy looking for my luggage. My friend excitedly told me who he is but i was quite doubtful. I mean... u would expect people to trigger their camera when they see a superstar right? But only a few did. Then a group of caucasians swamped in and suddendly my eyes were blinded by flash lights. And a group of thai officials appeared and welcome him. I am convinced. But i dunno who he is. So i was thinking, might just take a pic of him since he is here, what are the odds that a celebrity is at the same place as you? Except the journalists and photographers, everyone including myself was taking quite a far distance pic of him. I am unsatisfied. Hence, I went up to him and asked "Can I take a picture of you?"
and I think he heard as "Can I take a picture with you?" so he stood beside me and I promptly passed my camera to the football-fan friend of mine. hahaha.. there you go... fabio capello and me.
