Of hairy issue and public humiliation

The day has arrived. I will never be able to look at Gillian Hung, Cheong Pak Chi (CPC) and Edison Chen the same way I look at them before - not that I am a huge fan of any of them. On the contrary, I've never like the Twin gals because their music appeals only to people with hearing impairment, nor am I a great fan of Edison Chen, both in acting and singing (what singing?). As for CPC, I always knew there is a hidden talent to that coarse voice and "kuaci" face actress.

The day I found out about the news on Edison Chen and his now infamous collection of "obscene" pictures of him and other famous HK actresses/singers/models/etc, it was on the eve of CNY. Yes, I am at least 2 weeks behind. It is painful to see them. I seriously feel sorry for the girls. Especially that they are Asian and Chinese.

When I heard the news, whom my brother was sooooo willingly wanting to show me the pictures and shared the news to every single person that walks into the house (except the kids of course), I listened with a bit of skepticism. My brother is well-known for yeah, rumor mongering. So, I couldn't care less tho' I must admit I was a tad curious about my brother mentioning EC's mini-size erm, pencil-dick.

Many days later, a friend brought the topic back and decided to show us the pictures (I swear I did not even google it; funny ain't it esp. for a person who is always curious about stuff). The first picture shocked me. And the rest .... Hairy, cock, come hither..... slutty poses, pant pant pant. Oh boy... It gets more interesting. I was blown away (no pun people) and these pictures are razor sharp. I wonder how many MP is his camera. No, no not his "pinky brother"! LOL Oh boy, i get a kick out of this.

Today on the news is that they triad members in HK and South East Asia are offering anyone who could bring EC's hand to them for I heard, half a million HK dollars? Poor boy. Let's hope they don't take away his pencil-dick.

Yesterday, I took a train (LRT) downtown to visit a temple in Petaling Street. I've always like Petaling Street since young. I've used to take up tuition at Kasturi which was seriously THE tuition centre back then to go for "help" for SPM and STPM alike. Of cos, I also like the fact that after classes, I get to go Kota Raya and hang out at the arcades :P

What I saw yesterday @ PS was quite sad state - foreigners manning almost 80% of all the stores. I do not think it is cos the "taukeh" has gone for their CNY annual leaves. I think it is cos they figured hiring a foreigner is better than they man it themselves. So sad.

So, nothing is interesting except ... nothing? It's simply humiliating that the locals have to succumb to hiring foreigners to man their stall - what would the tourists think? Confuse, perhaps. This happened too to local hawker food stalls or restaurants. I simply do not order food prepare by foreign workers. Period.

But, thankfully, I had some joy from the train ride, really. I get to see the different architecture of buildings, houses i.e. some back dated to the 60s (If I've got a lot of money, I would buy these houses with manicured lawns and retain the exterior facade hehe), squatters and ugly buildings.

Love Song

I'm so hooked to a certain Mr. Khalil Fong. No, he is NOT a local singer/artiste/whatchumicallit. He is one up-and-coming HK R&B singer that the media dubbed him the "Jay Chou of HK". He spots a super doofus looking glasses (which will be in my next shopping list tho' I shoulda got one when I bot ad his in BKK) and from his blog, I think he is super talented.

I'm seriously so hooked to 'Love Song' since I heard it over at Channel V last night.

Perfect Valentine's song? You bet .... Erm, yeah, the softer side of me

"Love song, love song ..." *humming*

Lost

I was havin' the delicious fish paste noodles this morning when I overheard an uncle across the table talking out loud to a couple of aunty and uncle.

Uncle with dark framed glasses: "Eh Anita Mui lah!" nudging the aunty sitting across him and showing her the Chinese newspaper at the same time (obviously the tabloid section).

"She's back! Alive!"

Aunty in pink cap: "Back your head lah! Come back to visit you maybe!"

UDFG: "Hehe…no lah. Died already some more got so much news. Pity her also lah." He sighed out loud.

APC: "Yeah cos got people like you mah. Enjoy reading tabloids wat!"

UDFG: "Hehe…. Same like Leslie (Cheung). First play gay and got outed by the press cos got pressure. After that ah, got depression. Maybe that's why he killed himself"

APC: "NO LAH! It's because he acted in that movie. Neh, that ghost movie, what's the name? Think he got possessed by the ghost lah!"

Uncle with receding hairline: "Eh you siaw ah! Don't simply say lah. So you're saying the ghost made him commit suicide?"

APC: "If not? Sure got dirty stuff lah. He so handsome why want to kill himself meh. Some more people accept him as gay mah."

Both uncles shook their heads in disbelief while I stopped eating cos the noodles were simply too dry. Of cos, I was also disgusted by all the nonsensical talks from the aunties and uncles.

It has been 4 years and 7 months since Leslie leapt to his death from the 24^th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong. I remembered clearly at the time when I received the news, I was in utter disbelief. He completely shocked the world and of cos, his beloved fans. Nine months down the road, the world saw another tragic demise of a great talent both in acting and singing –Anita Mui. Their music and their movies still rock my world tho'.
