In Penang with Pierre


不久前,我和方展发到槟城为 《让爱自由》作宣传。这次的行程没有那么赶,但因为早上班机比较早所以我们都累了,一抵达滨城就去吃东西,然后回到房子休息。我睡了个小觉,然后起来化妆之后又是吃东西。感觉这次到槟城从早吃到晚。哈哈!

大家都特别热情,在 Queensbay Mall 玩游戏,大家都抢着要上台,让我们受宠若惊。多希望有时间多呆一晚,然后可以去游览槟城。上回拍《小娘热》也没有什么业余的时间游览槟城,真可惜。希望接下来有机会哦!

Pierre Png and I were at Queensbay Mall in Penang some time ago for the promo of “Yours Always”. It was an early flight that morning and right after we arrived in Penang, we had breakfast with the Malaysian crew who were at the airport to pick us up, and then headed back to Krystal Suites Apartments for a short nap before getting ready for the event.

We played the same games we did in KL. Here is me role-playing as the not very interested second girlfriend of Pierre.

This autograph session was overwhelming. People were rushing to get in front and the crew had to assist in maintaining order. We couldn't finish obliging all the autographs so the organisers allowed fans to come back and collect their posters once we've signed them all.

This little girl wanted to use her camera to take a photo with us, but didn't know how to operate it. How cute!

We had an interview lined up after the event and fans were following us as we made our way to this cafe. The girls even followed me into the restroom, which was a first for me. I do appreciate the support but it was a bit awkward. Haha! Here we are finally settled down for the interview with the local paper.

We were interviewed separately, so here's Pierre doing his interview, while I explore the cafe.

This cafe is very interesting because it's a "toilet" concept. Toilet bowls are used as seats, bathtubs with a glass surface as tables, and wait till you see the food!

I thought this was somewhat cool.

Don't we all get pensive in the bathroom anyway?

  12. It’s so sorry to let you feel awkward though i was not in the restroom. It’s because Penang is a small island and not much celebs go there. So fans were uncontrolable. Hope you din get shocked when you were on the way to the ToiletBowl restaurant after the event. hehe. Sorry~

    • Hi Peacey,

      Don’t worry about it, it’s just a brand new experience for me. Didn’t quite know how to feel.
      I totally understand so don’t have to apologise. 🙂 Appreciate you writing though.

      Love,
      Joanne
