Felicia Chin @ Thomson Plaza

Felicia Chin, best known for her character as "美人鱼" in the local drama series "同心圆" made a special appearance at Thomson Plaza on Sat, 28th Oct 2006. As the ambassador and poster girl of Vitagen, she wowed audiences with her wholesome smile and looked positively radiant in a puffy, red dress.














She made a tour around NTUC FairPrice and attracted many stares along the way. Anyway, there was this one guy who came up to her and requested for her signature. (Today everything is very fast, fast cars, fast food, and now we have...fast pictures!) Apparently, this guy had the photos of her shot at this event developed instantly and went up to her for an autograph, but was politely declined by the girl herself because she was supposedly (I heard) not allowed to sign anything that didn't have the "Vitagen" logo or the advertisement on it. Afterwards, I heard the guy complaining and muttering under his breath, "Wah lao! Sign a while only what!" To which, someone went up to him and politely explained the above, and that it was strictly management's decision.














I've chased so many stars and Felicia Chin is one of the, believe me, nicest nicest local celebrities around. She's so nice, that if it weren't her true nature, she would just be worn out with exasperation by trying. She readily posed for pictures with hordes of fans and signed autographs for the public.

This was what I witnessed: Even after several failed attempts on the part of her manager/bodyguard/NTUC officer who tried whisking her away from the crowd (they love her too much!), she stopped her manager/bodyguard/NTUC officer and this was what she said, "Wait a while. Can you just let me take one last photo with someone?"

Ok, apparently, this fan of hers had requested for a photo but some distractions came up...however, even after all the commotion, Felicia still remembered to take photo with that fan of hers, even when she wasn't obliged to. Really, how many celebs do that?
















This JC student decided to engage in the new-tech way of taking photos - with his handphone's camera function.





















Felicia Chin took an immediate liking to this cute, little toddler and couldn't stop gushing about how kawaii he was. She even took the opportunity to carry the toddler in her arms. Hmm, is her maternal instinct working its way into her conscious?













I followed Felicia Chin all the way to her car. See the two girls standing beside her in the first photo? I have no idea who they are, but they were around throughout the whole event and even got into the car with her. So, I guess that they are her minders? Very young, can, for a celebrity's personal assistant? I also want!!! No pay, also can!

Overheard...

Father: (looking at Felicia Chin while balancing his little kid on his shoulders) Who is she? Is she someone famous?
Son: Yeah.
Father: Did she appear on TV?
Son: Yeah.
Father: So, what show did she act in?
Son: She didn't act in any show.
Father: Oh, really? Then, who is she?
Son: She's the girl who drinks Yakult on TV.
