What's Eating Elvin Ng
8 Days|June 28, 2018

This is the 8 DAYS  Annoying Issue, but try though we did, we could not ruffle ELVIN NG’s feathers. He did get majorly pissed off a couple of days later. But no, not at us.

What's Eating Elvin Ng
Oxymoron? Yes, but that’s just Elvin getting into the right mood for today’s cover shoot for the 8 DAYS Annoying Issue. Well, actually the 37-year-old star was slightly miffed earlier in the day — he’d nearly got into an accident trying to get here when another car almost reversed into his in a car park queue. But no one (and no car) got hurt, so Elvin has since brushed it aside. You wouldn’t even be able to tell that anything had happened from how sprightly he is as he swans into the suite at boutique hotel Ann Siang House.

Our mission of the day is to get him annoyed, if only for a bit. And he does. Elvin slips into a faux foul mood when we remind him about today’s theme. He asks in jest: “Is it because you find me annoying?” We assure him we don’t, but we will be trying our best to irk him today. And he takes it all in his stride. Never mind if office workers around us are already on happy hour drinks and Elvin hasn’t even had lunch. Never mind the fact that he’d worked through the photoshoot with no breaks, even as there was a very inviting plush bed and luxe bathtub in the chic suite (seriously, it’s #homeinteriorgoals). Never mind that a waitress gets his drink order wrong (we swear we didn’t plan that), or that we make him late for his next appointment. After all this, we ask him how annoying we’d been. He rates it a measly 5/10.
