A PECULIAR THING
Tuesday, August 16th, 2005I’ve read from a men’s mag that there’s a guy who paid US$ 11,100 just for a dinner with Singapore’s celebrity actress. And to think the guy’s just a naval officer (Sounds stupid, isn’t it).
And in case you’re wondering just how the heck this celebrity pulled it off, here’s some backstory for you. In an attempt to find her Mr. Right — had offered the privilege of dinner with her to a highest bidder at an on-line auction. Now before you get any crazy ideas, the money doesn’t go to her. It goes to a charitable institution.
What about the guy? Was it a lot of money for him? Well, he says that US$ 11,100 is what he can afford, comfortably. And the amount is something that he feels worth giving.
As to wether the two taking this any further, they’re both keeping mum. But the girl says that this is a friendship worth building on and they’ll definitely keep in touch.
Truly, there have been some novel fund-raising initiative on this fair land.
