Suzie Wong
The other day, I was told by Bebe that I looked like a certain Suzie Wong. Well, seriously at that point of time, I don't know if that was good or bad. Now that I have googled it, I still don't know if it is good or bad. Hmmmm... But coming from Bebe, I think it SHOULD be meant as a compliment la? Haha...
Apparently Suzie Wong is a character(a prostitute, played by Nancy Kwan) in the book/film 'The World of Suzie Wong' which was adapted into a hit film.
The book is about a young Englishman, Robert Lomax, who has just decided to pursue a new career as an artist. He visits Hong Kong in search of inspiration for his paintings where he checks into the Nam Kok Hotel, not realising, at first, that it is an unofficial brothel catering mainly to British and American sailors. However, the discovery of that fact only makes the hotel more charming in Lomax's opinion and a better source of subject matter for his paintings. He quickly befriends most of the hotel's bargirls but is most fascinated by the archetypal "hooker with a heart of gold", Suzie Wong, who had previously introduced herself to him as Wong Mee-ling, a rich virgin whose father had five houses and more cars than she could count, and initially pretended not to recognise him at the hotel. Lomax had originally decided that he would not sleep with any of the bargirls at the hotel because he would be living with them for a long time and did not want to put a strain on their relationships. However, it soon emerges that Suzie Wong is interested in him, not as a customer but as a serious boyfriend. Although Suzie Wong becomes the kept woman of two other men and Robert Lomax becomes attracted to a young female British nurse, Lomax and Wong are eventually reunited and the novel ends happily.
According to Bebe, it was some top that I wore that reminded him of her cheong sum. I think the top that I wore was a black top that had a turtleneck-like collar and showed off my sexy shoulders hahahahaha... At least some people thought so hehehe...
