Hong Kong — Hong Kong actress Charmaine Sheh just celebrated one of her most memorable birthdays, thanks to fellow Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung. Sheh turned 46 on May 28 and she revealed that she received handmade soaps and candles and a handwritten card from Cheung. It is surprising to know that they are even friends.
“Today, I became a fan because I received my idol Maggie Cheung’s birthday gift [and] an autographed birthday card! Her penmanship is pretty and cute. I’m beyond happy and excited!” She also included a ton of hashtags in her post, among which were #whatawonderfulbirthday and #imsohappythatican’tsleep.
Sheh seems to be more delighted with Cheung’s humble gift than with the massive bouquet of roses from a mystery sender, who many netizens believe could be a suitor, reported 8days.sg.
Sheh also donned a turkey hat to cut her cakes, leading one netizen to quip: “Who knew that goddess Charmaine Sheh could be so fun? I love how she doesn’t care about looking silly on social media.”
