* As this is quite a lengthy chapter, half of the chapter has been omitted, translation only covers some meaningful and vital points Michelle made, thus the chapter may seem irrelevant from one paragraph to another…
Chapter 7: About My Love
Becoming gossip magazines’ figure of focus is quite an annoying matter. Some will think that I’m being sarcastic when I say so. In actual fact, I’m a person who will not be influenced by others’ opinions, because only then I can go on acting well. The funny thing is, it is the people around me who are often agitated by these rumors, feeling unjustified – it almost seem like the rumors are about their parents instead of me. And because they are usually my good friends, I instead had to console them…
This part is written for all the women who are in love or involved in rumors – there is nothing in this world that is worth you losing your dignity and independence…
I was eighteen that year. I forgot why but I celebrated thanksgiving at a friend’s house, playing mahjong. My mahjong luck was excellent that day, I assume that it is because of this ABC (western educated) guy who is clueless about mahjong. It was not until a few days later when I was on the plane back to New York from Boston and when the same guy reappeared next to me that I discovered that he was actually skilled in mahjong and is exceptionally well versed with Chinese literature. It indirectly led me to thinking his ‘swindling tactics’ during the mahjong was disgraceful. However, when he later became my first love, I gratefully accept his deeds as ‘delicate and romantic arrangements’. After that, he came watching our rehearsal at our dancing studio, it was then that I got to know from my peers that he is actually a Harvard student, and he was also a model student for being excellent in studies as well as talented in violin, piano, saxophone, composing songs, singing as well as acting. This creates endless topics and endless of activities for us whenever we go out. Later, we broke up because of distance. After a few years, when we went hiking together, the hike was entertaining thanks to him as he was playing his flute along the way. He is the kind of friend whom you will miss and will miss you wherever you go…
To date, his mother is still a fan of mine, and for this, we made a deal that if I still do not marry in ten years time, he will marry me. This deal has given my current boyfriend quite a big pressure, thus we have promised that he (current boyfriend) will marry me in the ninth year. Calculating the dates, it seems that I have to get married on 1st August 2008, I’m not sure if anyone else understands the logic to this deal…
In short, I’m really happy that my marriage has been settled by the time I met the third man. My second boyfriend is also an actor. Even before knowing him, I have always thought he looked handsome, thus I had even asked for his autograph before. I only told him of this matter (asking for autograph) after we had been in relationship for a long time because I was afraid he would laugh at me. We have filmed 3 series together, and our relationship only started two years after we got to know each other. During our days together, I feel that he is a very kind and sensitive boyfriend, but the problem was no one around me thinks he is a good candidate, causing me to have disagreements with my parents, godmother, and manager several times before we finally broke up. Among these people, none of them personally know him, but read about him from gossip magazines and other media. Thus I made up my mind from then onwards, to never allow to others’ words, especially gossip magazines to influence my future life in any way.
For years, I always have a favorite cartoon character, Crayon Sin Chan. His cuteness lies in his humorous wits as well as bold frankness. Thus, I always love to make Sin Chan’s facial expression, so people around me call me Sinchan, and call my boyfriend ‘Xiao Bai’. Although Xiao Bai is Sinchan’s best friend in the cartoon, he is still just a cotton-candy-like dog, so I usually call him Ge-Ge (brother). My Xiao Bai is a very gentle and not too talkative guy, sometimes he will blush and he is popular among girls. This causes me to be secretly happy because it proves that my taste is not too bad…
We are very frank towards each other, thus we seldom squabble over our two years of relationship. Besides having quite an unusual way of getting to know one another, the rest of our relationship is quite simple and ordinary. We just go for a walk, shop for groceries, watch some movies, chat, go for vacation every now and then - and merely happily hoping to repeat these activities with him again. The person responsible for getting us together is a good friend of mine from the pageant. She actually asked us out for dinner, but as she got an urgent call for an advert shooting, she rushed for work, leaving both of us who do not know one another there in a rather awkward atmosphere. Later, we called this fate. We also discovered later that we had ever attended two functions together, and were seated directly opposite one another but did not realize the other’s presence at all…
A lot of gossip magazines asked me why they had not seen my boyfriend and that I seldom talk of him. They seem to think that we should naturally show them to help their magazines to earn some money, it’s illogical! My god mother agree with me that this boyfriend is a good candidate who is excellent in several aspects but there is just no need to demonstrate our love to the public because we are not in anyway similar to the pandas in the zoo. What the outer world guesses and assumes does not affect our relationship, we live a simple and happy life. We will continue our life to love and to being loved.
