A Tay Ping Hui-wannabe recently replied
to emails that the sexy actor's fans had sent to him via an email
address that did not belong to the real McCoy. Our writer turns
'Tay Ping Hui-imposter' for a day and answers the queries of a fictitious
die-hard fan.

Subject: Miss you!
To my dearest, sweetest and most handsome Ping
Hui gor gor,
Gor gor (can I call you that?), I am
your number one fan. Though I may be young, (I am 14 this year),
I pride myself on being very resourceful. :)
I read and cut/print out every single article
about you, tape every episode of the serials you have starred in
and collect every picture of you I can find.
If I may say, I think I own the most comprehensive
collection of Tay Ping Hui merobialla (sorry, difficult word, I
cannot spell). Yes, the best in Singapore, Malaysia and some say
Batam like in PCK.
I really missed you a lot because you were away
for so long. I read from www.mediacorpsingapore.com
that you were filming
in Hong Kong. So how was it like, care to share your experiences
with me?
Recently, I wrote in to another email address
because a little bird told me that it was your actual email address.
Imagine my pleasure when you actually replied. I actually printed
out the reply and framed it up. But I was totally disgusted when
I found out, while reading 8
Days, that the person who replied to my email was an imposter!
I hate him! He is such a horrible person! You
must go and scold him, ok? I checked and I realized that there are
a lot of "Tay Ping Huis" in hotmail. There is taypinghui@hotmail.com,
taypinghui80@hotmail.com, taypinghui90@hotmail.com. So which is
the correct one? This one that I am sending to?
Do you surf the net often? How often do you
surf and why did you decide to set up and email account for your
fans? What is the weirdest or most memorable email that you have
ever received?
Please reply to this email so that I can print
it out and frame it and replace the one from the imposter. Please
please please … thank you!
So, do you reply to all your fans or just special
ones like me? *grin*
What are you doing now? I am currently studying
for my common tests. Okie, I have to go back to my studies. Please
please reply to me but ONLY if you are Tay Ping Hui.
Thank you very much! :)
Love you and support you forever!
Die Hard Fan
Both the email query mentioned

purely coincidental. Facts, figures and answers are provided by
