HK Episode 2: Time with the Stars

It was time spent close (enough) to the celebrities of Hong Kong! We've been on the Avenue of Stars on many instances. Overlooking Mongkok on the horizon of the canal, it has a feel of Hollywood with the handprints on the plastered ground.

Here is when I cannot help but say... "Life is the movie. And hey! I'm the director!"

As we walked down the street, we glanced upon the ground, hoping to see familiar names. Think Jet Li, Cecelia Chung, Aaron Kwok etc. Even Michelle Yeoh's is here!

And of course, some bigger names you should know.

Jackie Chan.

Sam Hui

Andy Lau.

Then again, who needs a hand print when we can be closer (enough) to the star himself? DRUM ROLL....

Look here! He's agreed to pose with me!

Okay, okay, enough with the fooling around. Later that day, we visited the Madame Tussuad's Wax Museum, with the many still figures of popular faces.

Just for the record: Andy Lau's wax figurine is the MOST unique of all. Why? If you place your hand or ear on his chest, you can feel and hear the thumps of the pacemaker! OH!!

By the way, I'm letting the pictures talk.

Now I relate to something extremely close (enough) to a Hong Kong star. On the first day, my aunt's hawk eyes spotted a celebrity at the tailors while we were in the bus. Imagine our luck!

I didn't snap photos of him. Come on, he just wanted to mend his shirt! Besides, the moment he saw us eyeing and pointing at him, he walked to the back so that he became a blurry shadow behind a tinted glass.

He's the kind of actor whose face you'll definitely know but may not remember his name. He starred in the series 'Revolving Doors of Vengeance (酒店風雲)'...

Felix Lok! (Know who I mean? No? Nevermind...)

He's the one furthest to the right. No kidding.
