He was one of my favourite actor nowadays. Although I dun really like his 'curry - pok' hairstyle in the pilot show (HKG serial), but he does act quite well, especially the recent few movies on HKG police/theives movies.
I read from the papers the next day after the news and he was going to give a 'talk' at NLB (The Pod) the next following day, Saturday (06Jan) at 12nn. Admission is free and required to RSVP via email. I hurriedly RSVP 2 seats for Alvin and myself. Unfortunately, he can't go so I proceed on my own.
Hee hee...I never regretted the trip. I never once before get so up close and personal with a star at all - in a very orderly and cosy setting. No crazy, yelling fans - thank you.
I arrived at about 11.45am and there was already a queue and it turned out to be the waiting list queue. Hee hee...so the NLB personnel cross-checked my names and off I'm in the lift to Level 16 - The Pod.
The minute I stepped out of the lift. I gave out a WOW !!!!!! The view up there was awesome, 270 degree unblocked view. You are able to see the sea, right from Shenton Way (on my right) across to ......errr..... dun know lah.... but can see Marina too !
It was free seating and I managed to get a seat in the 3rd row..... wow.... I never get so up close and personal with a star !
So, the wait goes on and on and on ....... the host of the session is Yang Jun Wei. And still wait and wait and wait...... I thought to myself, huh....it's already 12.30pm, dun tell me he is going to appear for half an hour and goes off...
Finally ! Francis Ng appear !!!!! Oh my god, he is so dashing........ handsomely dark charming.... Don't believe me? See for yourself !
He was supposed to give a talk on the darker side of Asian movies but it ended up more like an interview. It was like Jun Wei asked questions and he answered. The whole conversation was im manadarin and he was speaking much more fluent mandarin then we have seen during the recent Star Awards ceremony. But he shared a lot and he was a very funny man. He gave funny and cracky answers sometimes that made the audience so laughed so many times.
Here are some clips of the interview.
He stayed for entire 1 hour and he was also very obliging to ask the audience questions. When he was about to go, the crowd got excited a bit and moved forward, NLB staff was worried and quickly ushered him away.
The lift was jammed packed and I visited the toilet before going off. And so, I also caught a glimpse of his singaporean wife, ex-tcs artise, Wang Li Ping. She was very fair and haggard. I was surprised she has such heavy eye bags....hmmm.... taking into consideration she is a tai tai now.....
Anyway, I like to announce : Francis Ng has become one of my idol now ! hee hee.....
