This website, which is an opinion based website is fueled in part by your active participation either by submission of your reviews/stuff or your comments in any post, reviews, section, etc where you can find the POST A COMMENT feature.

YOUR Q's FOR MY A's

There is a FAQ [MAIN] database in this website where you will find info on how to link to this website, answers to some tech problems found in pages within this website as well as a great feature where you can post questions in relevant categories & I'll answer them. Try it out!


SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.


OFFBEAT STUFF

There is this one section in here that features offbeat stuff that are not entertainment based. The section is known as FUNN STUFF [COMMENTS & OPINIONS].

 
PERSONAL FAVOURITES

There are 3 sections in here that contain my personal favourites of all kinds. THE DDGs [COMMENTS & OPINIONS] which features specially made websites by myself with info & all related stuff of my favourite stars or stars I like to talk about, MEDIA & MUSIC FILES [DOWNLOADS] which has my favourite VODs and music files, most of them are taken from Chinese & Korean dramas & movies and some of which I am hosting for my net friends and THE STORYTELLERS [WEBSITES], where you'll find stories written by amateur writers like you and I.

The Sceneshots That Made My Day - Shaun Chen Hongyu 
Permanent link Post a Comment

HERE IT IS

Wuchang, dear Wuchang ... speechless at his generosity, at his ability to read my mind, his skills at capturing such beautiful sceneshots, no blurry stuff, all high quality. I must share this picture with you. Now I wonder is he just a ke-le-fe there (as in filmed many many moons ago) or is he the model endorsing this product? I mean great hair but a bit too short for Organics commercial right? I think he's just endorsing the girl endorsing this shampoo. You know reportedly he was a model in Malaysia but I never saw any of his commercials. Maybe a catwalk model? A bit too short for that. Wonder what other commercial he's in?

Anyway, let me post what was posted in the Shout Box for record purposes ...

"wuchang: I just happen to notice that this person appeared in one of the commercials in my recorded shows. Thought you might be interested. "

And my response?

"Funn: Wuchang - AHHHHHHHHHHH. AHHHHHHHH. AHHHHHHHHHH.Love his hair! Love his smile! AHHHHHHHH. You just made my whole week! AHHHHHHH."

Now this guy is the "this person". Yep, no need to say words. Any discussion about him, you just say "him", "this person", I WILL KNOW.

I am so looking forward to his new series, the one I will never get to watch. Hopefully can have screencaps, and also some episodes that I can download. Maybe Mediacorp and Mediaworks merging their production houses will be great, because my TV only shows Mediacorp series. Maybe he will be in one of those. And I read somewhere that Jeannette Aw refuted her much speculated rumour (of who who dared to molest her and say nasty things to her) in an online Chinese newspaper website. I read a translation where she said she wasn't talking about this person. At last, cleared of all charges. Yeah! Anyway he looks younger in these screencaps (maybe the hair) but he always look older than his age (I believe 26? 27?-his real age I mean) in his series.

And someone sent me a very nice mag cover of him with Jeannette Aw (I believe probably a year old- the mag I mean) and I don't want to quote her email name because probably she might not want to be known, u know anonymous.

Come one, people from the south (as in Singapore), do tell me this person's news. From what I read, he is not very well liked. Well I like him.

Thanks for the pictures. You all know who you are.

You may be wondering (or maybe you're not that bothered) why I put this person's name in the title. Ahhhhh so that when searching using his name, this website will be right on top of the search list! YEAH!

Any fans of this person? Email me. I want to know his fan base.

Haha no funn. If I remember the commercial correctly, shuan acts as the girls's boyfriend who, one day, appears at her doorstep with a bouquet of flowers. The girl, unprepared, simply bundled up her frizzy hair and greeted him at the door. Then her hair band falls off accidently, and shuan was left stunned by her bad-hair-day look. So the girl tries the shampoo and when shuan turns up on the next date, he is mesmerized by her stunningly silky tresses.

You know, I hate commercials like that. Very juvenile you know. I mean a woman is defined by

1. long beatiful dark (or whatever) coloured hair
2. slim beautiful body
3. clear bright fair skin (whatever race which is really depressing for people with dark skin).

Personality does not count. In fact I feel personality is overrated-people don't care for personality anymore. Love at first sight is so true. FIRST SIGHT.

Haaaaaaaaa - so sad. But love the screencaptures however juvenile the commercial may be. You know, I notice about guys these days. Their girlfriends are often prettier, taller, nice body than these guys could ever be. What makes them think, short fellas could have such beautiful beings? And those handsome ones? They go for tall beautiful slimlong haired fair skin girls BUT these girls may also have very bad postures, couldn't even speak well, pimples and my god, they swear!

What happenedto chilvary? What happened to lady like behaviour? What happened to gentlemen?

Ok, enough of ranting. P-Chan and Pearl both are same right?

yes, P-Chan and Pearl are both me.

I didn't actually look too much into the salient gender issue that you saw, probably because the commercial managed to present it in such a way that the boyfriend was probably just amused to see his girlfrend having a bad-hair-day but still loved her just the same, as we see in the end when the bf still came knocking at her door (I admit that before I saw the end of the commercial, was also afraid it was gonna be another one of those "I-love-you-only-because-you-look-good" commercials). We can't deny the fact that appearances do count, can we?

But I do agree with you the about obsession by the media of so-called "ideal" qualities of women that sadly, not many are able to attain. It's quite sad, really, how women nowadays suffer just trying to keep up with this ideal.

Consider a study by Mukai and his colleagues (1998) which compared the body image that both Japanese(collectivist culture)and American women (individualistic culture) perceived of themselves. Even though Japanese women were well within the normal height-weight range and BMI, and were significantly thinner than the American women, they still were more likely to report greater body disatisfaction. It was also found that to tehse Asian women, being socially approve meant being thinner or trying to be thinner, leading to increased reports of eating disturbances. I see a striking resemblence to the kind of values HK TV and cinema have been potraying. It disturbs me too.

Reference: Mukai et al, "Body dissatisfaction, need for social approval and eating disturbances among Japanese and American college women", Sex Roles (39), 1998

Pearl/P-Chan : I think i read in Bridget Jones' Diary that she grew up traumatised by supermodels. I think this report you quoted kinda proved that in a way. I mean we are always dissattisfied with our bodies, I am sure even westerners feel that way. But nowadays in Asia (especially HK) it is scary to equate being beautiful as being not just slim but worryingly thin, below the 100 pounds mark. That to me is scary.

Wuchang : thanks for that piece of news. I am sure to leave all comments in SPCNET Forums about this series. Hopefully will get to see great captures that you did in POL. I am always checking Yi Xin Ren forum just to check what has been posted.
