Jackie Chan Slams Singaporeans

However great an actor he is, do you guys think that it's right for him to say such things? I think many people will not respect him anymore.

Taken from Straits Times:

SINGAPOREANS have no self respect, action movie star Jackie Chan told an audience of businessmen.

He said this in the same speech at the annual Boao Forum in Hainan last Saturday, at which he said Chinese people need to be 'controlled'.

In that address, he reportedly said of Singapore: 'A lot of people are not like those in USA and Japan who voluntarily have self-respect. When you don't have self-respect, the government will have to control you.

'In Singapore, you have to abide by Singapore's regulations. In China,you can litter, In Singapore, try littering and you will be jailed immediately.' Shin Min Daily news had earlier this week published a transcript of his 'freedom speech' which touched on the issued of liberty in China.

The 55-year-old sparked an uproar after he told a business forum last Saturday that 'we Chinese need to be controlled', lamenting that freedom had made Hong Kong and Taiwan societies chaotic. 'I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not,' said Chan, who added: 'If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.'

The backlash against Chan has escalated even after his spokesman claimed that he was referring to freedom in the entertainment industry and not Chinese society as a whole.

In China, a prominent Beijing academic is leading a group of locals calling for a boycott of Chan's 'Believe in China' charity concert on May 1, which will be the first music event held at the iconic Bird's Nest stadium.

In that speech, he also lashed out at Singaporeans' lack of social graces, The New Paper reported on Saturday. 'Sometimes, I wonder why I can't eat chewing gum in Singapore. Then, I think it's actually right not to eat chewing gum," he was reported as having said.

''If I let you eat chewing gum, those people will leave them on tables and chairs. They have no self-respect at all.' His comments have drawn a backlash from much of the Internet community here.

'What's up with him lately? Before he criticised our local female artistes for not working hard enough. Now this? I have suddenly lost respect for him,' said Gabriel_23 on the HardwareZone forum.

说你害怕 因为受过伤
不需要害怕 因为我不是他

怪怪的

今天一整天觉得怪怪的，但是不知道为了什么。

从10点起身到现在，完全没有心情做任何的东西。

可能因为我心里一直想着她，担心她。她有严重的失眠的问题，就连吃了安眠药也不能入睡。最后一次听到她说她有睡是上个星期五晚上。可能是我多心吧，但是我真的好希望我能够抱紧她，轻轻的抚摸她的头，让她舒舒服服的入睡。不要误会，我没有任何歪念头。

可惜我不可以。

还好她看不懂华语。

希望明天会更好，要不然我的FYP就不用指望做得完。

What A Week!!!

Had a crazy 7 days, where I suddenly have a "little family", consisting of Neo The Dreamer, Faith The Facebook-er, and Silver The Sleeper.

Neo, 1.78m, 65kg. 32A-3230-32. 26, the eldest in the family. Always dreaming, not listening to what people say, and end up pissing people off, or replying random answers.

Faith, 1.64m, ??kg, 32F-26-32. 21, the youngest in the family. Always facebook-ing, as she has nothing else to do. Will be starting school next Monday @ NP.

Silver, 1.68m, ??kg, 34C-26-34. 24, the 2nd youngest in the family. Always sleeping, as she has some sleeping disorder. Is the most matured in the family despite her age. Very bad with her road directions.


Sunday 12th April 2009
I forgot how we met up, but I can only remember that we ended up at Boat Quay, QB. Drank Silver's balance, before we had the crazy idea of going to my house to study. At 4am nonetheless! This started the "little family" study group, except for Faith of course.

Monday 13th April 2009
Was supposed to go to SMU from 2-6pm for studying, but we ended up at Lot 1 watching Fast & Furious 4. This just speaks volume of our determination to study LOL. Everyone then went their separate ways, and I actually received Silver's message at 4am. Hahaha she actually believed that we were gonna meet up at 2am, and thus the SMS, which woke me up from my sleep!!!!!

Tuesday 14th April 2009
Again, I don't remember how we met up, but I only know that we ended up at my house studying again. Everyone just went about doing their things, but somehow I do remember how someone broke an egg in my kitchen, and how they ended up finishing so many packets of Tom Yam maggie that they almost left none for me and my uncle. Oh, and why is Chelsea the one who got into the semi-finals of the Champions League!!! 4-4!! Poor Liverpool. I hope Chelsea do get thrashed by Barcelona though =)

Wednesday 15th April 2009
Had dinner at Thomson, where Faith and Silver got lost (as usual). Watched Ronaldo score 1 of the goals of the season as they won 1-0 at Porto to move into the semi-finals of the Champions League. Woohoo!!! I forgot what other funny things happened, except that Silver and I had a 45 minute chat starting from the start of the 2nd half of the match. Oh, wait! I don't understand why Silver is so afraid of my uncle though, who is so friendly as to help me get a mattress and a huge blanket for my friends :)

Thursday 16th April 2009
Tonight was a night of rest. Had dinner at TPY with Jake and friends, before we went out to Boat Quay again for a short drinking session. Silver was sick, and ended up playing 5-10 with Ah Don, with the forfeit as plain water! Went to Neo's house just to rest.

Friday 17th April 2009
I was supposed to wake up at 7am, and go to school from 8.30am to 3.30pm. Somehow, chatted with Silver, and ended up oversleeping. Great! Finally, had steamboat dinner! Woohoo! My favourite food =D Then had to travel back to TPY to take Silver's HP, and then back to SMU to study till 2am, before heading back to my house (YES. AGAIN).

Saturday 18th April 2009
The last paper for Neo, which marks the end of his first year in SMU. Sent Faith home in the afternoon for some kind of ceremony which she had no idea what it was, and then went for lunch with Silver. Got spotted by someone who doesn't know whether am I a girl or a guy :\ Came back with Silver to play with my cousin for awhile, before sending her home, and going for concert with No.3! Woohoo! 萧敬腾 really is the man! His live is just so damn good. Will post videos and pictures in the future.


Kinda sad that the "little family" study sessions are ending, as Neo has finished his exams, and Silver is going to finish hers tomorrow. Mine hasn't even started though. Sigh.

Feels really great to be studying with friends. At least they give you some sort of motivation and push to make you study, rather than staying at home alone and getting distracted by TV and stuff like that.

It's only one day, but I miss my "little family" =(

第二顺位

Another 罗志祥 song I'm learning to sing recently.

The lyrics are just .. fantastic



一直是我 陪你去躲 回憶裡的雨
妳無心 的嘆息
有心碎的 聲音
他的好 他的壞 他的不安定
他的故事 是我和你
愛情裡的 烏雲

從我愛上 愛他的你 那個瞬間起
一直是雨天
你只愛雨天 我用傘 保護你
親吻著 你苦澀 味道的微笑
閉著眼睛 我明白你
想念他 的秘密

我一直 在第二順位 愛著你
一直從雨天
一直到陰天
一直到晴天 你逃離過去

我一直 在第二順位 等著你
一直從昨天
一直到今天
一直到永遠 我相信 是我最愛你

聆聽你說 抱歉多過 你說我愛你
你困在雨裡
我困在雨裡 我的傘 濕淋淋
『沒關係』 是我最 常說的一句
就讓我等 就算我冷
至少我 陪著你
