Deluded and GAY!

This is the new facebook status of AP.

A few days ago, he posted something that made me think he was deluded. And then this status statement came out and I think he is not only deluded but also gay.

Maybe he is having some sort of mid life crisis or identity crisis?

Does this not come out from the mouth of someone gay? A straight man would not say something like this....
mite not like e baggy jeans..but i mite like whats underneath it...wld u b my filipino boy....LOL

And yeah, I have always suspected that AP is gay. He is not that gayish and gets along with people of both sexes. But people his age are mostly dads and granddads. And he is still hanging out with boys half his age. And having sleepovers, as I suspected, looking at the photos in his facebook.

Hmmm....Who does it remind you of?

The Gloved One. For those too dumb to understand...Michael Jackson!

Yeah, yeah, I am minding my own business.

Delusions of AP

I just read this from AP's facebook status. Yeah, the very AP who said my facebook photo was too thailandish.

I think he is having some sort of delusions. Frankly, does this sound like the words of a sane person?
one same earth..u cn keep ur vertu,lv,gucci,ck,dkny,tod,tomford,etc.in ur pocket..am not impressed..the day u breathe a different kind of air than mine, come to me, i bow to u..one same earth

Come to me...I bow to you?? He is getting deluded and bizarre. I dun think he is depressed.

And in my present state of mind, I cannot reach out to him.

It reminded me of Mavis Hee, a local singer, who screamed at some guys in a hotel, "Call me GOD".

SINGER'S TURMOIL

Mavis Hee sent to Institute of Mental Health after she trails hotel guest and yells: 'Call me God'

Friends and fans wonder: What made he snap?

By Maureen Koh

BIZARRE.

That is the word for the behaviour of homegrown singer Mavis Hee.

She allegedly tailed a hotel guest from the lobby of the Ritz Carlton Singapore into a corridor, ranting incoherently most of the time.

Then suddenly, said a hotel bellboy, she shouted at the guest, in the presence of others: 'Call me God!'

The police were called, and she was taken to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH).

The incident took place last Thursday around 9pm.

Said a bellboy who did not want to be named: 'The guest looked quite uncomfortable but did not seem to know what to do.'

He added: 'No one really knew who she was or recognised her. Our concern was more for our guests.'

SECURITY ALERTED

A staff member from another department in the hotel who realised that something was amiss, had alerted the security department.

Two of the hotel's security officers went to take control of the situation. However, when they were unable to obtain a satisfactory response from Mavis, the hotel decided to call the police.

The hotel's director of public relations, Mr Anton Kilayko, told The New Paper: 'As with standard operating procedure, two colleagues from the security department were deployed.'

He said they were unable to provide further details.

Mr Kilayko explained: 'We are leaving investigations to the police. However, it is our responsibility to protect the privacy of our hotel guests - and everything has to be kept confidential.'

It is not known if Mavis knew the guest or what sparked off the shouting.

Mavis, 32, was taken to IMH the following day and warded for psychiatric observation.

Industry sources and friends who know her personally were shocked when they read the news in yesterday's Shin Min Daily News.

Ms Merisa Chu, chief promotions manager at HIM Music, has known Mavis for nine years. She has also handled the singer's album promotions.

NICE PERSON

Ms Chu told The New Paper: 'Mavis is really a very nice person. Even though she is no longer releasing albums, we still keep regular contact with each other.'

The last time Ms Chu saw Mavis was in April, with four other friends.

She added: 'I did not sense anything odd at all. Our conversations were about very mundane stuff, like work, music and updates on how we were.'

Another long-time friend who had worked with Mavis when she first entered showbiz is Ms Sheila Koh. She expressed disbelief when The New Paper contacted her.

'Are you sure? Did you get the right name? Could this be some prank that someone's pulling? Are you sure it happened here? In Singapore?'

Ms Koh added: 'I have been away for a while too and had been meaning to contact her. But you know how it is, we just never get around to it. And the last I heard, she was always busy with shows in China.'

The New Paper also spoke to two of the singer's fans.

Mr Lionel Ng, a freelance designer, snorted when we first spoke to him.

'Please lah, how can this be? You are talking about Mavis and this happening in Singapore? At such a posh hotel?'

When it became clear that it was no prank, Mr Ng said: 'I just cannot believe it. Mavis does not look like someone who'd snap just like that. There must be something troubling her... and maybe she's just too stressed out?'

COMFORT AND ADVICE FOR FAN

He said he keeps in touch with her.

He said that in May last year he had told her that he had split up with his girlfriend.

Claimed Mr Ng, 30: 'She even sent me a few SMSes to comfort me and advised me to learn when it was time to let go.'

The last time he heard from Mavis was an acknowledgement to a Chinese New Year greeting that he had sent her this year.

Clerk Lynn Tan, 27, said: 'If this is true, it is very sad. We have long heard that Mavis has been troubled by her love life, but we've never confirmed if that was true. Maybe she just could not take it any more.

'We truly hope that she can pull through.'

She's been away from the scene for a few years

MAVIS Hee, a former assistant photographer, was named Singapore's Faye Wong when she started out in showbiz.

She released her debut album, Knowing Well, in 1994. And followed that with a string of hits which took her to Taiwan, Hong Kong and, finally, China.

Her wide appeal in China even saw Mavis appointed a cultural ambassador in 2001.

Mavis has also dabbled in acting, with bit roles in a few TV drama serials.

She was 'handpicked' to star in famous cinematographer Chris Doyle's first directing effort, Away With Words, in 1999.

Mavis has had her share of bad publicity - from critics panning her bad dress sense to gossip about her personal life.

In 2000, she had to battle rumours that she was having an affair with her married producer, Chen Jiaming. She denied this in an interview with this newspaper.

She has been lying low for the past few years - though she was said to have been performing regularly in China.

Nude for virtual pets

New Paper

WHY DID SHE DO IT?

'I like the thrill... It's just for fun'

Some netizens stunned by move; counsellor & psychiatrist wonder if she'll keep promise

By Liew Hanqing

IT SEEMS she is willing to exchange real-life nude pictures of herself for something that exists only in cyberspace - items for her online pet.

Is that all her modesty is worth?

The question doesn't seem to bother the Facebook user, who introduces herself as Ling Er, an 18-year-old Singaporean.


Photo from Facebook

Her offer has drawn some flak, even from other netizens who are blase about such shenanigans.

As one of them put it, she may have taken games addiction and online barter to a new low.

The teenager set up a Facebook group last month to get netizens to give her virtual items for her character in the popular game Pet Society on the networking site.

Birthday suit

The name of her group: My birthday suit contest. (name changed to my pet society page)

To date, some 133 users have signed up as members of the group.

The game, which can be played by Facebook members who download it, allows them to create and play with a virtual pet, buy it items, and pit its 'skills' against those of others.

The object of the game is to acquire as many points as possible.

These points allow players to acquire more virtual items for their pets' homes.

On her Facebook group, Ling Er has appealed to netizens to give her their most valuable Pet Society gifts possible.

She claimed that senders of the best five gifts would get a set of nude pictures of her in return.

They have to do so by 1May.

She has even listed those who have sent the most valuable gifts so far.

The teen wrote on the site: 'I will send you guys pics of me in my birthday suit that I was born with.'

Er, does she mean baby pics, perhaps? Who knows.

But since the group was set up, it has attracted more than 100 members, almost all of them men.

In an e-mail reply to The New Paper, Ling Er said she started playing Pet Society just over two weeks ago, and that she plays the game daily, but for less than an hour each time.

She declined to reveal her real name.

The teen said she had started the Facebook group 'just for fun'.

'Also, I like the thrill and I want more gifts (for my pet),' she added.

Asked if she sensed any danger in sending her nude pictures to total strangers, she replied: 'In this day and age, it is easier to find pictures of this nature online than news updates from around the world.'

And will they really be her own pictures? Well, all we know is that she has already put up some that are supposed to be preview pictures.


Photo from her FaceBook

She claimed that other local women had taken and distributed nude pictures of themselves online with little consequence.

'They're still doing fine,' she insisted.

However, keeping or distributing obscene pictures is against the law.

Ling Er said she has received virtual gifts from more than 10 people in her group.

These include a virtual lamp, guitar and bath tub.

A member of the Facebook group, who declined to be named, said he had joined the group 'for fun'.

He said he had come across the link to the group from a friend's Facebook profile and decided to join on a whim.

'The name of the group sounded interesting, so I decided to have a look. I don't even play the game,' he said.

He added that he found it odd that anyone would offer nude pictures to strangers for virtual items.

'If the items were real, it would be understandable,' he said.

Student Kevin Chua, 16, who is an avid Pet Society player, added he was surprised when a friend told him about the group that had been set up.

He said: 'It's not something you see every day. I just hope she doesn't get into trouble doing this.'

He added that he knew of people who traded virtual items on Pet Society forums and groups on Facebook, but had never seen somebody offering such a deal before.

'It's quite shocking to see what people would do just to get items for an online game.'

Psychiatrists and counsellors that The New Paper spoke to raised their doubts as to whether the promise would be kept.

Gimmick

Said Mr Charles Lee, senior counsellor at Tanjong Pagar Family Service Centre: 'I think she is using sex as the attraction. We don't know if she will give the photos, it could just be a good gimmick.'

However, Mr Lee and Dr Brian Yeo, a consultant psychiatrist at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, said that the act only served to reflect her lack of modesty.

Said Mr Lee: 'Assuming that she really sends nude photos, it just shows her low self-esteem. How she does not care about her privacy? It shows that her relationship with this pet is ranked above her own privacy.'

Parents we spoke with also expressed their concern.

Mrs Magdalene Wong, 53, a mother of two, felt that it was worrying such things could be happening on the social networking site.

She said: 'It's quite shocking to know that it's being used in such a competitive way. Other people who see it might decide to do something that may be even worse.'

Pick a pet and pamper it

IT is a wildly popular game on social networking sites, such as Facebook and MySpace, that basically involves taking care of a virtual pet.

At the start, you can customise your own pet by choosing its facial features and colour and by naming it.

Next, you will be taken to its house, where you are required to play with it, buy it items and feed it.

The aim of the game is to earn as many 'Paw Points' and 'Pet Society Coins' as possible.

This is achieved by making sure that your pet is healthy, happy and clean.

The status of your pet will be indicated on the right side of the screen by three icons - a heart, a smiley face, and a shower head.

To earn more Paw Points and Pet Society Coins, you should feed, wash, stroke and play games with your pet.

You can also visit others with pets.

As you earn more Paw Points, you will be able to unlock new items that will upgrade the living conditions of your pet.

Coins enable the user to buy new items for the pet or buy gifts for the pets of friends.

You can select the item you want to give and drag it to a gift box.

You can then can select the friend you want to give the gift to.

My say on Facebook

Previously I was denied that chance to speak out after I was kicked out of my school 's facebook group.

And today, while surfing the net, I found out through a member of the group that they are having a gathering this weekend!

Of course, I am NOT invited since I was no longer part of the group.

But this event was an open event and open to everyone, not just members!

Frankly, I really have no intention of meeting them this soon. Years ago, in school, I had nothing in common with them and now, I also dun see anything common.

It was just finally my chance. I have been bottling up my feelings of indignant after being booted from the group TWICE! And I just want to make known how I feel.

So I RSVP "Maybe" in order to post and made the following wicked comments.

--------------------------

Can I attend?

I guess cannot. Cos I was kicked out of the face book group. TWICE! So I suppose I am not that welcome.

And the thing is no one even had the decency to ask if I was a classmate before booting me out of the group and then making the group a closed one after that.

Well, how do you know how I was your classmate then?

Cos I know...

(Content is of identities of the members and their past history)

Photos too....Thailandish?

I just uploaded my photo onto Facebook.

The photos were taken on my way to a medical appointment. I was in SO's leased car and we were driving into the tunnel. There was no sunlight, semi darkness, the area nly illuminated by artificial lights.

And the photos turned out beautifully! The light from the flash just illuminate my face! Frankly, it was the best series of photos. Ever!

Try it! Frankly, I am surprised by the effect!

Oh, I was also using one of my Fuji camera special functions, the "Portrait Enchancer". What this does is that it makes skin in photos appear smooth and even. Wrinkles are also ironed out.

Anyway, after I had photoshopped some of the facial blemishes, wrinkles etc, and adding in some hues, saturation and adjusting the lighting, I upload a favorite photo to be the main profile photo on face book.

And then I started contacting people I know.

One of them was AP. He was someone whom I knew sometime back. A generally nice guy.

We were exchanging messages. And he suggested meeting up sometime soon since we had not met for more than quite a few years.

Well, I am generally not interested in meeting people. I am not that sociable. Normally, I dun have much to say in person.

So instead of saying ...No, I am not interested, I told him I was not in town for a while.

What came next, kinda of shocked and sadden me a bit.

This was his message.
i presume its thailand right? u look so thailandish.

WTF!!!!!

What on earth is look thailandish? Does he think I look like those drags or like some thai whores?
(no offence to thai people!!)

Yeah, that's what I would think of if someone told me one look "thailandish".

I was insulted and a bit sad that he would think this way of me and make such a thoughtless comment.

So I responded...
Not thailand. Wat you mean look thailandish? You say i look like those thai drag queens or thai whores?

His response....
no lah..i simply mean u look so done up, so touched up

Hmmm.....and what does it mean? Photo too nice, too made up, too perfect?

I was still insulted, outraged and kinda of horrified. But I was too nice to tell him so or tell him off.

Yeah, I was hurting inside, sort of. Frankly, to say a man or woman look drag is not exactly an compliment. It's an insult.

Though he did not exactly say this, this is what I felt he implied.

Yeah, maybe I am just too sensitive.

So when SO came home, I asked him for his opinions.

As usual, he rolled his eyes and looked at me with distain, like....why you even bother...kinda of look.

And then he said..but he didn't exactly called you a drag queen or thai whore.

Well....what can I say.

Frankly, I kinda of regret adding AP to be my friend on Facebook. Dropping him is too obvious cos we have very few friends in Facebook and it is simply too obvious.

As for meeting him, well, he can certainly dream on. I would say he has a higher chance of getting pregnant and giving birth to octuplets (8 babies).

Later the next day, I changed my facebook profile photo to one which is less perfect, less nice and less touched up. I certainly dun want anyone to look at my photo and mistaken me for a drag queen or whore.

If one person can say so, another can too. And at this moment of time, I am not exactly very accepting of criticisms or unfavourable comments.

----------------------------

P.S. There is no way I am showing any of my face photos online in this blog. So readers, dun bother to EVEN think of asking.

I am able to blog my full range of emotions and actual incidents here when I dun show my face here.

So readers, you have a greater chance of striking $10 million lottery than me posting my photos here. This is NOT one of those photo blogs. So, you dream on.

Love like you've never been hurt

I just set up a new facebook account.

And under the main profile pic is this column titled "About me".

Frankly, I really dun know how else to describe myself in so few words.

And finally I remembered something I heard sometime back on TV. And I loved it!

I do believed that it is truly who and what I am.





To love like I never been hurt.
To work like I dun need the money.
To dance like no body watching.
To live like there's no tomolo.

----------------------------

I did my research on the net and found out that it originates from some Old Irish proverbs or Mark Twain:

Work like you don't need the money;
dance like no one is watching;
sing like no one is listening;
love like you've never been hurt;
and live life every day as if it were your last.


Guy Clark transformed it into a memorable song;

You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watchin'
It's gotta come from the heart
If you want it to work

Kicked out of Face book group ....AGAIN!

I was just surfing the net and checking my secondary school alumni facebook group when I noticed that I could no longer view the other members or the forum discussions. At first, I thought it was just page layout problems or some technical problem.

And on further explorations, I discovered that I was "kicked out" of the group! Again!

Originally, the group was open, meaning anyone with a facebook account can view the group but only members of the group can post on the group.

But as of today, that group is now closed and I am no longer part of the facebook group.

I am pissed. How could they just kicked me out without informing me!

I was bitching about this to SO when he called me a babe in the woods. And what that means is a naive or innocent person; an inexperienced person. (Like a child lost in the woods.)

He said that in the first place, he wun be bothered to join such a alumni face book group.

I told him that I did nothing wrong in the group. I did not criticize anyone or insult anyone. I just withhold my identity! The thing is no one asked who I am!

This girl did though. But I told her I am not ready to reveal my identity.




Will post further on another day.

"NTU stabbing" conspiracy Face book group

I was reading about the NTU stabbing when I came across this Facebook group, For the Truth Behind the NTU Stabbing Incident.

The group currently has 887 members and is founded by this seemingly creepy looking guy Aen. Aen strongly felt there is more than meets the eye and that David Hartanto Widjadja may not have been the aggressor in the stabbing incident .

I am definitely NOT promoting or joining this group. The concept behind the group smacks too much of some media-police conspiracy cover up theory.

The the fact that such a group can even manage to gather 887 members is scary. Either that guy Aen has a lot of friends out there or there are that many crazy people out there who actually shared the belief that there is a conspiracy against a foreign student's death.

Anyway, below is the description statement of the Face Book group. Read at your own risk!

-----------------------------

I was not eager to name this group based on the "stabbing" incdent in NTU because nobody can be sure what really happened. Police investigations are underway and the media has been doing a lousy job with their rotten, biased and sensationalist reports. Nonetheless, I have chosen to name as such because everybody had come to know of this news as such.

Like myself a few days ago, many of you might not have been fully aware of what had happened in NTU on March 02 morning. The gist of it is, unlike what the media has vividly but groundlessly reported, a bloodied David Hartanto Widjadja, an NTU student from Indonesia had been seen running out from NTU Professor Chan Kap Luk's office and subsequently jumped onto a linkway between two blocks from the fifth storey and then falling off the linkway to his death. Any details in between are currently all speculation, some realistic, some biased and some ridiculous. But all of them raise questions. Questions that begs us people to police the media and the authorities. What we want is the truth and the truth can only be told with utmost transparency and honesty. As a united group of people who have confidence in the Singapore justice system, we demand no less than transparency and honesty. This group has been set up to question if the need arises. We will not accuse but we will aggressively question.

__________________________________________
What Has the Media Done?
Shortly after the incident happened, the media was quick to report as vividly as they could what they think have happened, that David stabbed Professor Chan and then slit his wrists and jumped off a building to his death, based on "witness" accounts, even though doors of the office where it happened were closed. They published the biased stories anyway, and many have guess, possibly as an attempt to shift the blame to David Hartanto Widjadja, portraying him as a deranged, depressed, vengeful, suicidal and murderous loner while victimizing Professor Chan Kap Luk. The fact could be very far from what is reported as David's family has reported no slit wounds on his wrists.

__________________________________________
What Can You Do?
Don't believe what the media says and help to ensure the correct informations gets circulated. Combat the biased and unfair reports by telling people around you what are facts and what are not. You should also spread the word by recruiting more members to this group. The more voices we have, the stronger our message. You can do this by inviting ALL your friends to the group and posting the group on your profile by using the "share" feature. You can also blog about the group and mention it to people. Your help is needed in our campaign. We will be a voice to be reckoned with should the time comes for us to speak up.

__________________________________________
The Next Step
have a thing to say? Thoughts on this matter? More speculation? Have an idea that would improve the system? Go to the forums and join a discussion, or even start one. We are getting bigger and stronger. Let's put our numbers to good use.
