seeing stars

last week i spotted a Hong Kong celebrity... Nick Cheung (Cheung Ka Fai), who was in a number of recent HK films including Election, On the Edge, and Breaking News.

i was strolling inside G.O.D., a designer home store, in Causeway Bay when he walked right past me. i'm normally oblivious and don't really pay attention to other people walking around me. but that day, i turned the corner and passed a guy holding a tripod and professional camera and i knew well enough to think that there might be a model or celebrity nearby. seconds later i looked up to see Nick Cheung walking past me. having just watched the HK drama series, "The Last Breakthrough" which he starred in, over the summer, i knew exactly who he was.

i guess HK is small enough where it's fairly common to spot celebrities around town. i wonder who i'll get to see next... ;)
