Kok wishes poethood a Happy 1st Birthday

But I guess it isn't a very happy one after all. Well.... No one seems to remember you anymore.
Can't put the blame on anyone, the hype is gone and contributors are few and far between. This makes me think: Who can really call themselves brothers of this circle? Many have come and gone but the core remains. Many have come and claimed that they are brothers but have done nothing to suggest likewise. I would only call them brothers in name. Perhaps I'm also guilty of procrastination from time to time. Perhaps it's time to do something about it. Perhaps it's time to move on. Perhaps...... perhaps...... perhaps......

Something interesting to share with my brothers.

NYP Tammy Scandal, Sillypore & lots more

Ok I have to confess, I do not really have much to say about Sillypore but I'm really amazed someone can come up with such a term. Believe it or not, do a google on Sillypore and you will find alot of interesting stuff.

I'm not sure if I'm embarassing myself here as I might be the last one of earth who has heard about it but my guess is, many of you dun noe heck about Sillypore, Sinkapore, Sunkapore or Sillyporean. Perhaps it's time for us to acknowledge the new era of fuglies/SPGs/fanglings and see the world (or maybe just our country and ourselves) in a whole new light. Or maybe i'm just exaggerating, we just need to find some fun and keep ourselves happy.

Well, here comes the main topic of the day. Yes, the NYP scandal, the hot hOT HOT story that has rock the whole of this small island. This is to the benefit of our brothers in faraway Shanghai, Canada, London and err.... London also. I'm ashamed to say that I only heard about this yesterday and surprisingly, it was from my mum. I sat down on the couch and went about my daily routine of trying to fuse my butt to it when my mum threw 2 pieces of newspaper in my face - one for wednesday and one for thursday. On the covers were the stories of rhomping students filming their own sexcapades making a name for themselves aka doing a Paris Hilton.

It's hard to imagine this happening in Singapore and I believe like myself, many people can't believe it too. Well... This is also why it's such a big story. Oh come on, our government is always encouraging us to keep up our competitiveness and we have now finally caught up to the west. We have always been criticized as boring, dull and unimaginative Sillyporeans. Well.... there are people out there like Annabel Chong, Susan Chua & Tammy who would go out of their way and more to prove our critics wrong. Ok, perhaps I should not mention Tammy and bring her under fire once again. To be honest, she did not purposefully distribute the video. Nevertheless, she is the STAR of the show and should be credited for her outstanding and painstaking performace. An oscar perhaps?

Kudos to them for doing us proud? I would love to say that but i won't. I still love my bed and my bedroom and my couch which I've been trying to fuse with, so I shall not pass such remarks lest my mum hears about it and decides that my tenancy in #02-03 is up.

The key object in question? The video of course. Who wouldn't be interested? Everybody loves a nice home video, esp when it was not meant to be distributed. Man just loves to do things they ain supposed to do. The video was on youtube but was taken down in just a few hours. (Now we really know the efficiency of the authorities) It's almost impossible to find it now on any websites, perhaps you will have better luck asking around from people with the nick of Neo or Trinity. Rogues and Rebels who likes to live lives on the edge should still be circulating it around. I even heard that people have started making their own videos and circulating them as the 'cheong' version. But don't expect too much from the video, the leads clearly do not have the skills (videography lah, what were you thinking) of other well-known artistes like Paris Hilton or Pamala Anderson so you better pack some popcorn during the 10min video.

I do have alot more to say about this whole saga but I shall leave the boring news and personal comments to another day. I'm physically and mentally too tired to carry on writing so shall continue some other time. I don't expect this to come to an end too soon anyway. Some of you might think I'm unfeeling towards the victim Tammy. Many would even blast me for saying all this. But is Tammy really being victimised here? In some ways yes but in many other ways it's a definitely NO for me. One last thing, a quote from bexafraid, that will hopefully keep me away from the Gestapo.

Thanks to ST I am packing up and getting out of this country! For your information, I have just smashed my computer, melted it and poured the residue into the deep blue sea. Therefore, I have the clip no more.I will love to send the clip to everyone but our god father (Uncle Lee) says distributing porn is a crime. Sorry, I have to disappoint. I also do not want to join the male lead in the same cell, in case I lose my virginity (which I plan to keep till I die) to him after bending over to pick up soap.Updated again: According to ST, “…. but bloggers noted on their sites that they DID WANT to be seen as distributing porn by posting the video…” Please email maria at mariaa[at}sph.com.sg and asked her to provide you with the list of bloggers who want to be the heroes. I am not a hero cos heroes die young.

Poh Sets London on Fire!

After an uncomfortable 13 hour flight, London embraced her forgotten son with her biting winds and dreary rain. Poh was back and raring to paint the town red. After checking into his posh service apartment, naturally the first thing to do was... to fall into a deep slumber.

After being ostrasize by my new team mates for the entire Sunday, I headed to work on Monday only to discover that my trainer, erm... had a different sexual orientation than most... Ah, the warm embrace of London life...

In order to continue the theme of the week, it was only right that I had to re-enact "Brokeback Mountain" with our brother in London, JT, on Valentine's Day. Hauntingly similar to the film, if I may say so, except for the lack of horses, raunches, mountains and gay cowboys. To follow up on our exciting Valentine's, it was off to JT's place a couple of days later where a romantic gourmet meal of meat balls, bean sprouts, ham and soup were awaiting. And who said romance was dead?

Perhaps the highlight of the week was a visit to the Ministry of Sound, but it was not without tribulations. After wandering around helplessly and following what looked like clubbers, we finally found the Ministry of... Salsa. But we made it and it was a refreshing change from the local clubbing scene back home. Definitely worth a visit for all visiters to London.

Surprisely the weekend brought about soccer, beer and mahjong! Just like back home. As Liverpool cruised to victory, so did I on the mahjong table. Afterall, not losing money is considered a win, isn't it? And of course, I was once again cruelly dumped by my team mates, nary a word from them the entire weekend...

Look out for more adventures of Poh in London in the up coming weeks. Pictures may follow soon, but no guarantees due to the dial up internet connection. Stay tuned.
