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.
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.
