Local celebrity Nat Ho retired his blonde hair and went back to black for xinmsn's new web series, Of Love & Hidden Charms that is loosely based on the life around the xinmsn office. The 28-year-old plays geeky photographer Ming, who is always seen in a hoodie, Mark Zuckerberg-style.

In the drama, Ming is secretly in love with Christel, the character played by Rebecca Lim. The singer-actor joked, "Of course I would make things happen. Rebecca is so beautiful."

But in real life, what would Nat do to win a girl's heart?

He looked evidently embarrassed as he shared with xinmsn the story of how once tried to impress a junior college schoolmate.

On Valentine's Day, Nat, who was the class representative, prepared a box of flowers for the girls in his class on pretext of getting a bouquet of roses for a girl that he liked. As he went to school in his crush's parents' car every day, he had to hide the roses underneath the rest of the flowers.

"Her parents thought I was such a nice class rep!" he laughed.

Though singing is his first love, serenading a girl gives him the goosebumps.

"It's okay to perform, but to sing to a certain person, it's awkward!"
