Now, that's what I call literally haunting someone!

I don’t know which is more amusing when reading the news nowadays…whether it is the ridiculous excuses some so-called minister makes up for those irresponsible, uncouth cow-head protestors, the lack of police actions against those idiots or the wide-spread papparazzing of poor mega-star Andy Lau who is not even remotely Malaysian, although his wife is.

From the day the wife’s father passed away till now, the Andy Lau saga has commanded quite a lot of newsprint place, especially in the Chinese newspapers. Not that I read the Chinese newspapers, mind you. But seriously, the poor old guy (I’m referring to Carol Chu’s father, not Andy) was on his last journey and instead of him haunting anyone, it was the media haunting his funeral or to be specific, his super famous son-in-law, Andy Lau Tak Wah.

Okay, admittedly, I am a big fan of Andy Lau. I mean, *droolz*, he is darn good looking. He is probably the only Hongkie star I secretly lust after. I know, I know, many younger girls will think I have bad taste when there are supposedly more yummilicious Hong Kong actors around these days. But heck, Andy Lau is my first actor-idol I drool after with a deep school girl crush long ago. It is an obsession hard to forget. Not that I am all that obsessed with him now.

Although I still couldn’t resist clicking on any news with his name on it.

But I am NOT obsessed, I tell you.

Damn. I AM married with another kid on the way so I definitely do NOT have a schoolgirl crush on Andy Lau.

Okay, fine. I still drool after Andy Lau although it is only in the fantasy, schoolgirl crush sorta way, like I drool over the Winchester brothers in Supernatural. At the very least, I have seen Andy Lau in person in concert donkey years ago when he had the one and only concert in Penang.

But I digress.

I was about to write about how the media are literally haunting him and his wife right up to their conceiving a child. Fine. So, I am one of the readers that spurred the media on to act in such a way but heck, the couple do deserve some privacy, don’t they? I mean, it is one thing to report the good news of the wife being pregnant but to go into details of how they got pregnant?

I mean it is almost like reporting what position they liked most when having sex. The fact that they chose artificial insemination does not mean it should be made public right? Come on. Do give them some privacy. It is no wonder that the poor wife was kept hidden all these years and Andy never admitted to their relationship. I can just imagine what a field day the media would have if they announced their relationship years ago.

Obsessed fans will go crazy, me excluded because seriously, as much as I fantasize about Andy Lau when I was a teen, I know for a fact it is an impossible dream of ever marrying him so he do deserve to find a good partner and settle down. And who he chose to marry is none of our business, isn’t it? There’s only one of him and millions of fans. And it is because he worries about what the obsessed fans will do that they decided to keep it under wraps.

And my sympathy really do go all out to Carol. Poor woman. Imagine being hidden and kept like some mistress for all these years. They can’t even go out in public together. It is a good thing that Andy finally married her last year, although I think he should have done it years ago.

Whatever it is, much as I drool over Andy Lau, I do wish them the best and hope that the media will not continue to haunt them the way they are doing it now.
