Has Elvin Ng found love with Sheila Sim?
It seems that the usually taciturn local actor Elvin Ng may have found his special someone with model-turned-actress Sheila Sim.
According to The New Paper, some serious sparks flew between the two on the set of Channel 8 drama "I'm in Charge" where Ng spoke of a deep and open chemistry between him and his new found "best friend".
"At the least, we'll be best friends forever, at the most, she's a potential girlfriend," the 32-year-old actor told The New Paper.
"Sheila is someone who's loving, generous and kind-hearted. There are so many qualities in her that I like."
Coming from someone as enigmatic about his personal life as Ng, that's as explosive as Qi Yuwu's shocking confessions about his newfound love with actress Joanne Peh.
Luckily for Ng, the affection is mutual.
Sim, who is an ambassador for international cosmetics brand SK-II, gushed to The New Paper with equal amounts of candour about their "relationship".
"He has nice eyes, a nice voice, a pretty smile and he's very sweet. The chemistry between us is so strong, we can tell each other anything. I have told him when I first met him I was starstruck as he's so handsome and tall," said the leggy beauty, who is 29.
"Elvin's also the kind of guy who will take time out even if he is very busy to listen to you if you are troubled. What is special about us is that we can be silly about a lot of things."
'She'll have to chase me'
But while they both have clearly got a thing for each other, it seems that Ng will be leaving the wooing to Sim.
"I really like Sheila. She told me she wants to get married by 30, and that's in a year. I have told her that I will consider being her boyfriend if she chases me hard enough," said Ng.
Ng also spoke about how in the four months of filming, Sim "helped him let go of his inhibitions," and that the pair have "no boundaries".
He revealed that they had first started to bond after confiding in each other about past relationship problems.
Despite some seriously raging chemistry, the pair told The New Paper that they have yet to go on dates one on one, and have only met in group outings including other celebrities like Rebecca Lim, Romeo Tan and Desmond Tan.
And their fledgling "non-relationship" may have been put to the test by Ng's imminent departure to China and Malaysia to film his next drama.
"She's raw and real and I will miss her when I'm overseas for filming in the next few months," said Ng.
Echoing the same sentiments was Sim.
"I'm so sad that he will be gone for three months. But I have told him that I will go visit him," she said.
We're not sure if they are going to be the next QiPeh (Joanne Peh and Qi Yuwu's "couple" name), but you can be sure that Singaporeans will want to see what all that affection and mushy bantering translates to on-screen when their drama comes on air.
