YOUR PARTICIPATION

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. I welcome your comments and feedback, positive or negative, right or wrong, long or short.

Come & join me in sharing each other's opinion of a certain subject matter. Show yourself & post away!


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.

Do check them all out!

That Bloody News (Again) 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Everytime I calm down, I get links to forums like this and again the whole grandmother story. I am sure it is haunting him as he contemplates, "Am I going to get a contract?" and it is haunting me. My conviction for this guy is like "I believe him", "I believe him not" and again and again and again. How can you fight a pastor's words eh? I need to think about this ... for a night ...Oh come on! Did you do it? Were you worse than a nagging aunty? But think about this ... in newer series he had more kissing scenes and very intimate scenes with female costars than before. No complaints so far, in fact just praises. All complaints came from one series, and that was soon before he actually left Big Brother. The timeline is very appropriate .. it's like the chicken and egg story. Which came first? This is Malaysian pride man. So much negative news, over one person, just because of one person I read remarks like "People like him should go back to Malaysia, go back to kampung". This is too much. I need to think about this ... Am I ever going to read something positive, something good about him?

THAT BLOODY NEWS (AGAIN!)

By the way who is Hu Wensui??

I must also talk about this. I am watching Love Is Beautiful. I do not know who is the actor that played that single brother of Jacelyn Tay but he is probably one of the worst I have ever seen. Now he looks like Gwai Gwai Shu Shu. And Qi Yuwu, for all the hot news about him, my dear sister (who doesn't know any Singaporean / Malaysian stars) remarked "He looked like Ah Beng". Which is true. Now I am curious. People like Qi Yuwu more, with such positive glowing remarks. None for my favourite guy. Perhaps it boils down to viewers' face concept. People like you, people like you. People don't like you, just be an actor's actor. One person in that forum remarked, "and sorry to burst your bubble valerie.... shaun cannot act, cannot host... and still thinks he is so great..."

I beg to differ. One scandal and forever he is branded! Branded. I can't take this anymore. I beg to differ.

And what is this condemnation of our hunky Malaysian man? Christopher Lee is not famous anymore ...Chen Han Wei is gay ... Arghhhhhh! At least, SIngaporeans hate Fann Wong, a fellow Singaporean. That is a comforting news, but then ... she is my most favourite actress! Why am I always liking stars who are not very well liked? Give me some positive feedback. I need positive feedback!

Don't be too bothered by what pple say at forums, Funn, cos forums are made for any tom, dick or harry to give themselves a sense of being 'wanted', for that feeling of being 'known' by other people, even if it means these people are not physically there to judge and evaluate you. The perception that someone is reading what you posted on a forum and that someone responses to you directly makes you feel great, doesn't it?

I guess what I'm saying is that, try to discount whatever you see discussed fervently in forums, especailly when it comes to 'scandalous' news like that. Cos for one, people for some strange reason, love scandalous news and, unless u're a fan of the protangonist, will believe it and find means to convince themselves that it's true.

You-know-who seems to be that kind of actor that garners such attention. It's like Nic Tse... somehow whetever he does is interpreted in a bad light and people just love jumping on those news and putting him down.

I won't go into the Psychology of these phenomenons but in the case of forums, if the general climate is to hate this particular entertainer, then chances are, people in this forum who want to be accepted will alter their views in ways that suit the general climate. Or if some 'authority figure' in the forum, such as the post master, harbours such views against the celebrity, people will be compiled to follow as well. And we all know that social contagion and group polorization often leads to initial views turning even more extreme than it was. Not to mention that forums allow irresponsible postings cos of anonymity.

So, yah, take forums as just another source of information that cannot be taken at face value.

Pearl, your post is the only validation that I need to ignore to voice of such comments and to follow my heart. You got it all right; I love it when people response to my posts so I guess it is all about ego and again validation. From now on if I ever see such bloody news again, I will simply read and ignore. Better post positive news or good reasonable criticisms. Thanks Pearl, your post gave me comfort.
