What’s the shortest distance between you and a celebrity?

10 m? 20 m? Or under 1 cm? Do note that I am not referring to the distance whereby when you saw your favorite celebrity (whoever that is) on your TV, lost yourself and decided to plant a huge kiss on the TV screen. I am referring to actually seeing him or her in their real self.

I am not someone who would gatecrash concerts, attend autograph sessions or splash cash on extravagant match tickets just to catch celebrities in action. However, I am fortunate enough myself to have caught sight of a total of…3 celebrities, when I wasn’t planning to at all.

Celebrity #1

Felicia Chin

Last seen: Approximately October 2007

Venue: Techno Edge, NUS

Seen: She was asking for students’ opinions on certain stalls. Looks like another food program

Outlook: Explosive hairstyle with bright red colored hair. Full body dress with high heels, complete with extravagant makeup

Approximate equilibrium separation: ~30 m

Was hurrying to a lecture after consuming my lunch, so did not move closer to take a better look at her

Celebrity #2

Quan Yi-feng

I stood around for around 10 minutes before moving off, as I needed to do some errands.

Celebrity #3

Adrian Pang

Last seen: Last Saturday!

Venue: Somewhere outside a medical shop in Bedok town area

Hmm...I could have possibly stepped on his toes had I decided to do a standing broad jump. LOL!

So! The shortest distance between me and a celebrity is ~2 m. What's yours? =p
