Were and Are..

When I came to Singapore 13 years ago..
I had one thing in mind. To look for Noriko Sakai's CDs and photo albums.

She was still quite popular back then, though not the most popular one.
She never was. Although she had quite a number of faithful fans. Like me.

And today.. the only thing you hear about her... is the news that she is jailed,
for using drugs. Sigh.. how things change.

And then there is this not-so-famous singer-actress Stella Ng.
I think she made it into some movies few years back.
And was in the videoclip for Meteor Garden's OST (by Harlem Yu).

Today?
The latest news is that she is being sued for bankruptcy by Awfully Chocolate.
But no need to pity her.. because she is not a bankrupt at all.
Her 'Black as Chocolate' cake stores are doing great in Taiwan. She is most likely a millionaire now. Found her news here

Not bad at all.. she wouldn't have made that much if she were to stay with mediacorp, competing with Jeanette Aw, Felicia Chin, etc.

Noriko Sakai and Stella Ng.. both have the look but not so much of the whole package thing to become A-list celebrities.

But what a difference in their life story.

I hope I would see Noriko Sakai complete her life journey in much better way.
And I hope all of us here would finish this race well.
It's not how we started and where we are now that matters.
It's how we finish.

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
