the papers of late have been hyping about BYJ, the korean movie/tv soap star who's a fave among the "aunty" crowd. so people call him the "auntie-killer".

last night, i earned myself the nickname of "uncle-killer"...haha. it wasn't something that i had planned on, but oh well.

picture this:

you're standing at the reception as the last of the crowd is waiting for the lift to the ground floor. then someone comes up to you and asks "are you serene from phonecast?" and when you say yes, he goes on to tell his friends and seconds later, you find yourself surrounded by quite the group of geezers...plus, a couple of young ones.

it was already nearing half past 10, so imagine how surprised i was when they still stood around to talk to me. this old guy even suggested tips for me to improve my speaking and such!

so yes...although the seminar last night was a drag, the post-seminar happening was quite interesting. and it was a rather refreshing thing.

i don't know how i could ever get used to something like that, but i'm open to the idea.

i guess this is what happens when you "sell the personality", instead of the product. bleah.

"now don't you feel like a star?" - liling of SIASR

"not really. not now, anyways." - me

but i suppose that's gonna change soon, ain't it?
