Patricia Mok Tearfully Apologises To Ann Kok For Blowing Up At Her In A Drunken Outburst Years Ago
The incident happened after the BFFs had dinner with a bunch of Korean guys during their trip to Korea.
What started off as a pretty light-hearted and amusing chat between Ann Kok and Patricia Mok on Mediacorp talk show Friend or Foe? ended on an emotional note with the BFFs delicately dabbing away tears from their eyes. So what happened?
It all started when Ann, 47, asked Pat, 48, a pretty straightforward question: “What is your all-time favourite memory of the two of us?” Just a few seconds into her answer, Pat, who began by talking about the first time they travelled to South Korea together, started to choke up, which prompted Ann to get teary-eyed as well.

According to Pat, while there were enjoyable moments during the trip, there was also “an unpleasant incident”, which happened after the two ladies had enjoyed a meal with five of Ann’s Korean male friends.
But then, “something happened” (what that “something” was, we’ll probably never know), and when the actresses got back to the hotel, Pat blew up at Ann. “I was so drunk at that time, but I don’t remember why I scolded her.”
The next morning, Pat recalled feeling a little guilty about her outburst, but she still couldn’t bring herself to put her pride aside and apologise to Ann. “I thought it might not have been so bad and told myself that perhaps she knew I was just fooling around.”

It wasn’t until many years later when that episode was brought up again by a mutual friend of theirs whom Ann had confided in.
“Ann told me, ‘Yes, you said some horrible things but just forget it’, and to this day, she still hasn’t told me what I yelled at her about,” said Pat, who was starting to get emotional again. “Since she said ‘forget it’, I feel like she has already forgiven me, so I want to say sorry to her.”
“Maybe she had a difficult time keeping it in her heart all these years, but she never said anything about it, and I also feel like I swept the problem under the rug 'cos I never asked her about it, so I want to apologise to her right now.”
Ann, ever the cool cat, graciously waved it off and said: “You’ve already apologised once, why apologise again?”
Time to grab the tissues
However, despite the moving tale, that wasn’t actually Pat’s answer to Ann’s question about her all-time favourite memory of them. “During that trip, we made two new Korean guy friends,” she grinned. Ann laughingly added that their new buddies weren’t even part of the group she introduced to Pat that fateful night, and that they had met on the streets. While she emphasised that they are just friends, that sounds like a pretty K-drama-worthy plot, doesn’t it?
For those who might not know, both Ann and Pat are huge K-pop fans, particularly of the band BIGBANG, so we guess it makes sense that they would get excited over getting to know a couple of oppas.
