Pwease hor! Don't touch Aaron Tan's woman!

YouTube Link: http://youtu.be/MmbGGLeU9gY

(English subbed version: http://mrbrwn.co/vli7Nf)

Limpeh tell you, this world still got many old school Ah Beng.

Apparently, 18-year-old wannabe gangsta Aaron Tan made this video to threaten a 14-year-old, Ryanzxc Gobangwall, for hitting on his gerfren, Nina Wantyouonly.

Be warned, the video contains vulgarity. Don't let the kids watch or they will learn about mothers and their milk, assorted Hokkien bad words, and a new English bad word ("f**kermother")

According to the blog Alvinology, Nina posted her side of the story on her Facebook wall:

This is how’s it goes. Me and Aaron had been together for 7months9days. The reason we had broke up is because of his attitude, his threatening, his childishness, his back stabbing, trust issues and he jus too over controlling. The best part is his parent disagree our relationship and (even more worse thing ps I can’t say due to personal) But in other hand I know actually a part of me can’t let go so I give him alot of chances to let change him change himself for the better but he didn’t. I tried my best to hold on but sorry I did my best because until now Aaron still wanna lie to me and do stuff behind my back which I really hate it. Plus our breaks up had alr cause trouble for both side of parent. So In order to make him heart die for me I put a fake relationship with Ryan which he also agree. But things get worst, Aaron post things at facebook saying bad thing about Ryan and even videos threatening him?! Then kanna stomp and even in the newspaper. After that, Ryan , Ryan sister and Aaron have a conversation on the phone. What is the conversation I not sure. That’s why Ryan and Aaron are in a relationship. And that’s it for Ryan and Me. But as for me and Aaron we alr officially SINGLE. So please stop saying he is my boyf. As for Ryan I wanna say sorry for the trouble cause and thanks for the help And that’s it. If got anymore question, comment I will answer your doubts :3

To add to all the drama, Aaron Tan apparently has supporters. This video was made by his "brudder" (Update: it's a fake troll video) to say "我支持你!":

Aaron Tan shouldn't be so harsh on the 14-yr-old who likes his ex-girlfriend. He'll need someone to look after her when he goes to Boy's Home for threatening bodily harm.

Oh, wait. I forgot Aaron is 18. Good news: you won't be going Boy's Home for your threats. Bad news: you qualify for prison.

I am glad when I was 18, there wasn't YouTube to let me broadcast my stupidest teenage behaviour to the world.

Pwease hor! Limpeh tell you: Aaron Tan femes liao.

As they say on the game Skyrim: "I used to be an Ah Beng like you, then I took an aarontan to the knee."

P.S. Good luck when you go for NS and your army buddies recognise your sorry ass. Sure kena blanket party one.

Chinese NUS student: There will always be Singaporeans who will perform worse than us.

Parry Liu, a Chinese student from NUS, on the social networking site, Renren, allegedly said: "There is a principle we can learn from the recent Singapore vs China soccer game to apply in our final exam. No matter what, never give up, because there will always be Singaporeans who will perform worse than us."

Original Chinese text:
刘沛宇： "国足告诉我们一个道理，可以沿用到我们的final。不管什么时候都不要放弃希望。有新加坡人给我们垫底呢。"

Ouch. Hard truth?

He must be very popular in NUS now.

PM opens "Venice of Punggol"

Photo: ST

The papers announced the opening of the "Venice of Punggol" today.

I am surprised they started with Punggol. I thought it'd be easier to open the "Venice of Bukit Timah" or the "Venice of Orchard Road" first.

That boat PM is riding looks like the perfect way to travel down Bukit Timah when we get one of our Once-in-Fifty-Years floods.

In other public transport news, the Public Transport Council (PTC) recently fined SBS and SMRT for their service lapses.

The bus companies were fined a princely sum of $700 and $300 respectively.

That's showing them who is boss, PTC. I am sure the bus companies are quivering in their boots now.

SBS iris iPhone app has a new "feature"

The SBS iris bus iPhone app has an update in iTunes.

What's added?

"Enable advertisement feature".

Why, SBS? Fare hikes not enough for you ah? Even an app that helps your customers use your buses more, you also want to make money from.

No wonder SBS blocked the third-party apps the last time.

Well, at least they were honest about the reason in their app update page. Go to their app and give them a star to tell them how you feel about this new "feature" maybe?

CNA headline: "People's Association steps up efforts to bring gaps"

It is rare to see such honesty in mainstream media. Unless it was a Freudian slip, and "bring" was typed instead of "bridge".

I wonder how the PA plans to bridge their gap with the people. Will we need to lease a "non-partisan" bridge from them?

Frankly, I think the gap is so wide, a bridge isn't going to help. Even a new MRT line also not enough.

Running Through Singapore

A very well-shot video by SteadiProductions that takes you on a one-day running tour of Singapore. See if you can recognise all the places. It took 2 months of planning and 4 months to shoot.

They even provide a running map for you.

According to the team, they "ran around Singapore and shot the whole thing on Steadicam, with the idea of sharing the beautiful places in Singapore to remind ourselves this beautiful place that we live in again".

Harold Camping salah for the second time

Seen on my FB

After all the hoohah about the 21st May 5.59pm Rapture/Judgement Day that Harold Camping and his Family Radio show proclaimed, it's back to the drawing board.

I guess they will need to change their billboards from this:

To this:

Cheer up, Harold. It's not the end of the world.

It's Mr Goh now, says ESM

Seen on the Marine Parade GRC Facebook page, posted by Goh Chok Tong yesterday at 10.16am:

"Tks all for your best wishes. Morning after, no hangover, no burden of office. Accepted EMS title to help advance S'pore's international relations. Have useful experience n friends, esp in China, India, Japan, Mid-east. Here, call me Mr Goh. We are friends. --- gct"

That was a gracious remark by Mr Goh Chok Tong.

I hope when he said "no hangover", it didn't mean that the Cabinet had too much to drink after the President swore the new lot in, on Saturday night.

And I think he meant to say ESM (Emeritus Senior Minister) and not EMS (Emergency Medical Services? Express Mail Service?).

Polling Day guagua moment…

Overheard by friend of a friend on Facebook:

(At exit of polling station in Hougang.)

Woman to man: "I marked the cross on the one I don't want, correct hor?"

Wrong, lah, lady.

Truly a guagua moment.

Where is Teo Ser Luck rally video, TODAY?

Update: Someone uploaded a new copy of the Teo Ser Luck rally video. Watch it here:

------

It looks like TODAY has deleted the rally speech of Teo Ser Luck from their YouTube channel (I featured it here).

Why ah? His smoldering performance was too much to take for the viewers ah?

Co-driver election video

This video is For The Win.

Thor also got his own GRC team

Went to watch Thor last night. It was one of the better Marvel movie adaptations. You can skip the 3D, I think. 2D will be fine. Stay to the end to catch a little extra scene. Can't wait for Avengers.

Thor hits our big screens on Election week

I was watching the trailer of the upcoming Thor movie in a late night movie outing with friends, when this last scene came out. I couldn't resist saying out loud "Thor hoot jit kee Worker Party Hammer hor li seeeeeeeee!!!". 

Not that I was endorsing one party or another but it just seemed like a funny thing to say at the time.

The people in the audience around me thought so too, judging from the laughter.

MP doesn't know the bus routes in his ward after serving there for years?

This was shared by a forummer when his mother tried to get her MP to make changes to the bus route that runs through their estate. The MP (or his people) sent the letter to the wrong bus company.

You'd think that after being an MP there for so long, the MP would know that bus 172 is an SMRT service and not an SBS one.

Kudos to SBS for taking the initiative to forward it to their SMRT counterparts.

PAP's Dr Janil Puthucheary: I saved kids' lives

This is PAP's new candidate, Dr Janil Puthucheary, seen in a PAP introduction video, doing his doctorly thing. Dr Puthucheary is the son of PAP founding member and former ISA detainee Dominic Puthucheary, and has been a Singapore Citizen since 2008.

In a recent press interview, the younger Puthucheary said:

"…As for criticism that he did not serve national service, as he became a Singapore citizen at the age of 35, the paediatrician said he has been in public service: 'I've spent the last 10 years saving kids' lives.'"

I am not sure that was a satisfactory response to many Singaporean males. I have no doubt he is a fine doctor and he served the public in this way. But getting all defensive like that just made him look like an arrogant fellow to blokes who have served their NS time (2-2.5 years of active service and 10 years of reservist).

I liked how Catherine Lim (I think it's THE Catherine Lim but I cannot tell because her profile photo is that of a panda. Update: it's the OTHER Catheine Lim) responded to this in a Facebook comment:

"#Module 102 to candidates after lock up all your private photos on internet: Don't respond defensively. Yes I know I did not serve NS, I have a harder road ahead and this is how I want to serve Singapore …Yes I did break a promise to my wife, but we have talked about it she is behind me 100%. My father has supported my decision, there is no betrayal. What came out online was negative reaction and opinion, don't dis the opinions, respond with a positive. Loss an opportunity there Puthucherry."

Maid for the Army

Seen circulating on Facebook: Forget the 3G Soldier, this is the 4G Soldier… and his Fullpack 2IC.

Does the young man also make his maid go for his IPPT & route marches too? Or is it strictly a book-in, book-out only arrangement?

I think we should not be too harsh on the boy. He is, after all, doing what Singapore likes to do: getting foreigners to do work that we don't want to do ourselves.

One day, this fellow will be able to tell his son how grueling his NS was.

"Three maids to carry your backpack? In my time, we only had ONE maid, boy! Your generation getting soft, I tell you!"

Straits Times ad placement gone wrong. So wrong.

I am speechless.
