Many of you may know about the mimosa plant, also known as the forget me not. It is the most inconspicuous and shyest plant. With the slightest touch, it will fold up its leaves and close itself out from the world.
I am an introvert, very much like the forget me not, especially when it comes to strangers, with people that I really care a lot about but not quite familiar with or whom I feel a deep respect for. It may seem strange to you when I can talk a lot and can appear to be totally extroverted when it comes to Park Sihoo-ssi…at least on paper, so to speak, on ParkSihooSsi.com.
But whenever I come face-to-face with the man himself, like during his birthday celebration, I become very nervous, tongue-tied and shy, just like the forget me not. I had no clue, not much impression of what transpired during that short one-on-one photo session. I went about like an automaton. All I remembered was him asking me twice “Hong Kong? Hong Kong?” And my reflex response was “No, Singapore”. I could have clarified that I am from Singapore but live and work in Hong Kong! That is if he could understand me or I just might confuse the man even more!
And I know that for many ladies, like the romantic prince he is, Park Sihoo-ssi held their hands during the photo session. I have no doubt he must have extended his but being so shy and self conscious, mine was clenched in fists! And it showed in the photo, my nervousness. Darn…my lost opportunity! I did feel the light touch of his hand on my shoulder though.
With so many photos being taken, around 280 shots, I wonder if he would even remember any of them. But for me, it will forever be a much treasured experience, a beautiful memory of our very gallant prince.
Forget me not, this forget me not, Park Sihoo-ssi!
勿忘我!
许多人会知道含羞草这植物,它也被称为勿忘我。它是最不显眼和最害羞的植物了。即使轻微的触摸,它就会折叠它的叶子,隔离外界。
我是个内向的人,就像勿忘我,非常害羞,特别是涉及到陌生人或是我非常关心但不太熟悉的人,或是我深深尊重的人。可能大家会觉得奇怪,因为谈到施厚君时,我显得特别外向,至少在纸上,所发在ParkSihooSsi.com网站的贴子和讨论,完全不会感到是内向的人。
但每当我和施厚君本人面对面时,如在他生日庆祝活动中,我就会变得非常紧张,口呆和害羞,就像勿忘我一样。今年的生日会上的短短一对一合影时,我没有太多的印象,像机动一样。只记得他问我两次“香港?香港?” 而我的反应是“不是,是新加坡”。完全忘记解释我是来自新加坡,但在香港生活和工作!那是如果他听得懂我所说的,而不是被我弄得更混淆了!
就像浪漫的王子,施厚君在合影时和许多姐妹们握着手拍照了。他应该也伸出手来要握我的手,但害羞的我是拳头握紧自己的手!照片中显示出了我的紧张感。 噢 …失去了机会!但感到他的手轻轻的搭在我肩膀上。
拍摄了这么多的照片,大约有280张吧,他是否还会记得这些照片。但对我们来说,这永远是个非常珍贵的经历,是个美好的回忆。
勿忘我这位勿忘我,施厚君!

记得N姐曾有一次也说起了同样的话题,所以我认为厚厚是记住了你,因为我们都没有这样的“待遇”哦😋。我们好像是同一类人,对于我们来说,施厚君适于远观,一旦近距离接触就会紧张得乱了方寸,更不要说神马眼神交流了。感谢上帝,这次没忘记对厚厚道一声“幸苦了”,也没忘记握手,至于与厚厚对视看来还需要时间进行心理建设😂
謝謝你的分享, Amy. 讀後感覺很好, 有道一声“幸苦了”,也没忘记握手, 很好
谢谢😘@Chai Hua Loke

The parable of Mimosa, suitable for all introverted personality of friends! Nature is so, can not change, it is true that all good! Appreciate others outgoing, lively, cheerful at the same time, but also enjoy their own unique state, quiet, introverted, low-key! Not too familiar with the moment, it is usual slow rhythm! But for the event, such a specific environment, the author needs to overcome the tension! The only pursuit of their own, fans and sisters as well as his sister, is nervous, he can not figure out the hearts of fans, but it should be a blank state! Deep in mind, so carefully, the pursuit of the highest level, spiritual level, metaphysical! Whether outgoing or introverted, the company is the most lasting love! Friends from different parts of the real world, please be more affectionate than the feelings of the spring, the end of his life to love!
Oh Nance, there goes another opportunity of sniffing him out for me ah? Since you were nervous. Hahaha! Fully understand what you had shared with us. Thank YOU, Thank YOU. Will write more later. The Easter holidays social fun start for me, moreover biannual vintage festival events on, lots of play and I worry my old body may not stand up to all these demands. 🙂 Happy Good Friday, Happy Easter to everyone!
Ah Nance, with revelation of your one on one photo session with your favourite man let me add a bit more.
Hahaha! Giggle! Giggle! Didn’t I advise you to hold the pink rose stalk (his personal gift to you) in your hands? That way you wouldn’t have your frozen clenched hands immortalised in that lovely beautiful enchanting pic …
But never mind, the clenched hands will forever remind you of your disposition whenever near him— wondrously awestruck.
Now a bit on my experience.
Rose in left hand? Check
Right hand relaxed in case in warm friendliness he continues to stretch out his? Check
Face relaxed with wide smile to grace the magical moment? Check
One, two, Kimchi! Click. Done! ✅
I treasure my one on one with him too. The pic revealed his great looking left hand holding my right. And on that hand he was wearing an interesting braided bracelet.
He bought it for himself? Birthday gift from his parents? Or…………?♥️?
我算是外向的人,但換成我,和厚面對面時,可能也會臉紅心跳,手足無措哩!
Many many fans queuing for the one on one were also nervous – surely blushed too during the take
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU PARK SHI HO
People always talk about how hard it can be to remember things or persons, but no one ever talks how much effort they put in not forgetting things or persons. There are people who every time looking at a well-known person , they remember of how important that person is for them, of how they can never stop remembering that person. “Hong Kong? Hong Kong?”, PSH asked Nance , remembering her when he gave her his autograph. And he can’t be blamed that he didn’t know that Nance was from Singapore , he knew that she came from Hong Kong to his party. That’s is very important, because he has never forgotten her, because she was worth remembering. This is how he expresses his gratitude, his highest appreciation for a person, like Nance. By not forgetting her! PSH will always remember Nance as being absolutely unique in what she is doing on her blog “PARKSIHOOSSI.COM”. She is like the flower :”Forget-me-not”. And related to this delicate flower., I’ll tell a beautiful story, from German legend. “God gave to each plant and animal a name. He was ready to leave, when he heard a little voice saying:”What about me?”. He picked up the little flower ,he had forgotten and said: “Because I forgot once, I shall never forget you again, and that shall be your name.” So , PSH will never forget that Nance is from Singapore, living in Hong Kong. This will never happen about the person , who symbolizes faithful memories, who symbolizes a unique person for PSH. He will never forget her!
So beautifully told to us how forget me not got her name!
Mi niño bello
it’s so poetic. I recognize my self on this mimosa…like you. I think I dare not even meet him so I’m shy. You’ve gone overboard and that’s fine. In France there is a film called “les émotifs anonymes”. It is very funny and romantic and it is the story of two peoples how are Emotional and sensitive. I don(t know if it have english subtitle but if you can see it… It is freeing to laugh at its small defects. We have the defects of our qualities : Emotional people are often great treasures of attention to others and people who love a lot … you are a bit like our prince
Claudie, Nance is tremendously attentive to fine details yet she is a lady who holds the big fort at work. Absolute brilliant lady in micro and macro tasks/responsibilities. I believe many PSH fans recognise themselves in this mimosa article. Sweet, a bit shy, and, pure. Noice (Australian way of saying nice, with the O shaped lips). On the contrary, I am never a mimosa myself kekeke. In terms of breaking ice with strangers, I am the type to go for it. I am the type who will stare down any piercing looking eyes. But I am not good at public speaking due to my consciousness of the lack of eloquence in my language skill.
I’m not used to used socials networks and generally I do not like it too much. But there with you, the PSH sisters, here, or on the website of Wilma or on instagram … I love your photos, your comments. It is not empty, it is spiritual and it is full with life. Thanks to all of you. (Nance are you on instagram?)
Hi Claudie, yes, I am on Instagram as @parksihoossi
ok i m claudia_psh
