pui, 13 going on 30

i have a very special friend named pui, and this post is dedicated to her. if she reads this, she will surely kill me for hinting that she is 30 yrs old, so let me quickly add that she's actually in her mid 20's somewhere.

this weekend, pui tripped down to wimbledon with her brother and the tickets her brother's brokers got them. after the match, pui joined a queue of 10 yr olds with her oversized tennis ball to get andy roddick's autograph. in an attempt to be cool, pui decided to tell these 10 yr olds that she is 13 yrs old. i guess white ppl really can't tell how old asians are, b/c these kids believed her. i mean, she's kinda short, but i'm willing to bet she hasn't been carded in a bar in ages. maybe it's true what they say about kids growing up way too fast.

i can just imagine pui standing in a line of prepubescent kids, giggling and flirting, delving into their young minds for their autograph acquiring secrets. one boy was so taken by her that he claimed he was a pro:

Pui: well they knew the tricks to getting autographs!!!!
this kid was like just follow me
10:36 AM cos you have to sprint up and down to get to the player
and this kid said he got justin timberlakes autograph!!

poor kid. fathers, lock up your sons and daughters. this pui will do anything for her tennis ball.

10:39 AM Pui: hv you seen my big big tennis ball
it's my pride and joy

yes of course, pui. anything you say.

and of course, the photo is of pui at the US open. her wimbledon picks have not come out yet.
