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

Coincidence? The case of the Shaun Chen lookalike.
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
I am sure it is.
One of my favourite online past time is to do name searching, either my own name like Funn Lim (and surprise, I found links to my reviews in porn sites!!) and of course Shaun Chen. And I found one very odd one..
A badminton enthusiast fansite
Check out the left panel and you will see his name. My bet is it isn't Shaun, since nowhere have I ever read he was a former badminton champion though every Malaysian Chinese male must have been a badminton enthusiast at some point. And this Shaun Chen is also an actor! What a coincidence.
Funny isn't it?
04.06.2005
A follow up post to the above
I checked the said website again and was kinda disappointed to find out that the webmaster has taken down the said picture and the accompanying text. Luckily thanks to Wuchang's post, I saved the picture and post it below this post for your own verdict.
If I remembered correctly, the text in that website said a particular racquet was autographed by the webmaster's famous actor friend named Shaun who was also a former badminton champion. Or maybe I misread the part about former badminton champion where the webmaster may be referring to himself. I really do not know but Wuchang's right' that guy in that picture does look suspisciously like Shaun (same hair, same sideburns, same cheekbones, but different teeth). Kinda tempted to email the webmaster and ask!!
You be the judge since the picture is blurry. It's a thumbnail by the way. Feel free to click it for the bigger but still as blurry picture.
06.06.2005
Prompted by the many speculation, and fuelled by this forum (Singapore) that seems to confirm that guy you see above is indeed Shaun Chen, I decided to email the webmaster and end the speculation once and for all. The contents of the email as below:-
Dear sir,
I stumbled across your very interesting website on badminton when I was doing a search on this subject using Yahoo search engine when I came across this photo which I have attached with this email. You have mentioned in your website this is an actor named Shaun and though the picture was too blurry for me to jump to conclusions, many who have seen this picture said this actor you were referring to was ex-MediaCorp Malaysian actor, Shaun Chen Hongyu. I was indeed very pleasantly surprised to stumble across this picture because frankly I am a fan of Shaun Chen. But I can't be sure and I remembered specifically you wrote something about a former badminton champion and I may have misread that part as your description of this actor friend of yours.
I then went back to your website to re-read that part of the description about him autographing a raquet but alas, that part was missing from your website!
You may choose to ignore my mail but I am dying of curiosity and empty speculations. Please do reply with a simple yes or no answer;
Is this really Shaun Chen Hongyu?
Thank you for reading this.
Sincerely,
Funn Lim
I seriously do not think I'll get a reply. But one forum (and the link is above) has already confirmed this; it is indeed Shaun! I hope I get a reply and we shall see, we shall see...
And I just found out, that the person who created that badminton website also posted in the above linked forum who also very very clearly mentioned that Shaun is a friend of his and he even asked about Michelle Chia! But can a good friend ever write another friend's surname wrongly? He wrote it as Shaun Tay at first at the forum. Anyway, it is Shaun because he wrote former MediaCorp turned Channel U star dating Michelle Chia!!! Too much of a coincidence.
Check out the main page, check this one out, I think mystery solved. But wait!! Former badminton champion part...another mystery!!
07.06.2005
To think I call myself Shaun Chen's fan. Picture a bit blurry and I denied it was him. And guess what? I got a reply from the webmaster of that badminton website, based in Singapore by the way, and his name is Joe. He wrote..
"Hi Funn,
Yes, it is really him. I am just a bit shy to put in in the front page.
Anyway, I can get him to sign it for you. The price is 200sgd.
tks
Joe"
Why his photo there? Remember the forum I linked above? Apparently Shaun goes there for some badminton action. They're probably friends who met during some badminton game. Mystery solved and now you know how to get his autograph and his picture and get yourself a good quality racquet. Joe is quite a good businessman!
But one mystery remains; that sentence about him being former badminton champion. Maybe in his hometown? Maybe referring to someone else? I was tempted to email Joe about this but I thought this would be too much. I mean after all, so many questions unrelated to badminton, I might feel obliged to buy one from him!
So Wuchang, Pearl, you're both right. You have sharper eyes and me? I am not qualified to be called Shaun Chen's fan. I feel so ashamed. Let me sulk about this for a few days.
Summary
So, in the end of all the hoopla about this Shaun Chen lookalike, it turns out that it is indeed Shaun Chen himself. Case closed.

Wahaha! Trust Funn to dig up all things concerning Shaun.
Check out the picture again. It sure looks like him.
I mean is there such a coincidence??
I hope someone can just go look at that blurry picture and tell me it ain't true however much i like Shaun to be a former badminton champion!
Nah, I dun believe there could be such a coincidence...
I don't quite remember how was the sentence written, so I really do not know if he was referring to himself or this Shaun lookalike! Check back this space later if there is a response.
You also think it's him??
In my opinion, I think that's him alright. But another question... why was he in that pic?
Questions questions questions... Looks like only the webmaster can give us an answer...
The suspense is killing me also!
