Pensonic Friends

Met William Quah at The Curve as he was doing a promotional junket for Pensonic, AmBank, etc. I've never met him before in person, but I remember him from his early days on TV doing HotTraxx (or some other music chart show to that effect). He was really stiff back then. Like a Ken Doll. Later it was on MTV. I remembered he had robotic hand gestures. Like planks had been tied to them. But he's SO MUCH BETTER now. Relaxed. Natural. I expected him to be taller, but he's still taller than me. My friend Mel has seen him hanging around Bangsar and Amcorp Mall, and according to her, dia memang layan adiknya dengan baik. It went something like this:
(The floor was practically devoid of spectators and I was grinning broadly to the side)
William Quah: Blah, Blah, Blah... Would you like to win some prizes from Pensonic?
Me: Sure.
William Quah: What's your name?
Me: William.
William Quah: That's a *GOOD* name.
Me: It sure is.
William Quah: Let's give him an easy question.
(gesturing to flamboyantly dressed guy)
William Quah: How many filters does Pensonic's Energy Water System have?
Me: I'm screwed.
William Quah: You really don't know? 4? 5? or 6?
(hinting with his fingers)
Flamboyant Guy: He said, "I'm screwed"?!.
Me: Err, 6?
William Quah: Did he say 6? Did you say 6?
Me: Yeah.
William Quah: He's got it right! Here's your goodie bag from Pensonic.

It turns out I won a hair dryer and a pen. My mother did too, just by spelling P-E-N-S-O-N-I-C. It came at such a time of need-- my mum's hair dryer died on her not too long ago and now she has a replacement and one to spare. I seem to have an affinity with hair dryers. I got one too at my last company dinner lucky draw. But that's P-A-N-A-S-O-N-I-C. ;P.
