The price of fame

After my blog was recommended by Sunday Times as "Hot Blog", I got all paranoid. If someone look at me or just glance in my direction, I would freeze. Is he going to ask me for my autograph? Could she be thinking that I look better in my photos rather than in real? So far, no one has approached me yet.

But when I went out today, I could not shake off the feeling that I was being watched. When I turned around, there was no one. I really thought there was a stalker lurking in the corner. My friend told me I was being an idiot. So I tried to shop around and admire the places I never knew existed in Singapore. Did you know there are extremely retro looking shops* like these:

With some humans around, it looked very nice and trendy. You know, vintage whatevers are fashionable nowadays and it's important to be chic, darling.

But without people ...

(Ok... Imagine that you cannot see the reflections.)

Kind of spooky right?

Just when I thought it could not get any spookier, I took a picture and came back with this:

Can you spot the eerie apparition smacked in the middle of the photo**? Yikes!

Tried as I might, I could not get rid of the ridiculous sense of being on a pedestal. If I pick on the imaginary booger, will someone take a picture of me? Or stop reading my blog? I will be mightily sad man... Boohoohoo. So I refrained my fingers from going anywhere near my nose. No mean feat.

Suddenly

It was right in front of me! I wasn't being an idiot! I was being watched!

And it was not alone! There were many many of them***!

Haiz... The price of fame.

* The fantastic retros are at Change Alley Aerial Plaza Tower.
** You really thought it was a ghost sighting meh? Just taking a photo of Clifford Pier through a window. A very dirty one.
*** Catch them all at Raffles Place! Use Exit B from the MRT.
