However, single mothers that love their children would not harm their children on any level more than a typical nucleus family (a father and a mother) with problems. “Jia jia you ben nan yan zi jing” – everyone family has its own problems.

In Maia Lee’s pregnancy case, if you wish to blame Maia Lee for making the choice of potentially hurting her children, how about blaming the guys for knocking her up in the first place? And if Contender Asia contestant, Zidov, actually plays a father’s role in the child’s life, as he promised, then what is the problem? The kid will have a mother and father that does not live together, like millions of other families in the world.

What I’m disgusted at, however, is how people are critising Maia Lee for NOT going for an abortion. Who are these people to say “This baby is better off dead than being brought up by a perceived unfit mother”.

What’s wrong with you people? When we say women have the right to chose because it’s their own body, we gave them (us) the right to chose to abort the child OR keep the child.

If we can predict that the child would live an unhappy and unbalanced life, and thus feel that Maia should have aborted the child… then what about other cases whereby it is scientifically proven that the child would lead an unbalanced life?

Parents have a known congenital disease. They should not be allowed to have children so as not pollute our gene pool with defective humans? Parents that are retarded? Parents that are mentally or physically handicapped since they probably can’t give their children a “normal” lifestyle? So handicapped, diseased and retarded people should be sterilized by the government?

Are Singaporeans Nazis at heart? Do we really want to go down this slippery slope, feeling all morally high and mighty telling others to abort (some might say murder) their unborn child because they don’t approve of their mother?

Calling Maia Lee a whore for sleeping with a man she met for a few months… seriously.. if you really wish go hold a banner and stand outside the other known pubs in Singapore for men to get laid and women engaging in one night stands. And why aren’t we calling Zidov a bastard for sleeping with his girlfriend? I understand that we’re still an Asian society and that our traditional morals force us to put the blame on the women – a.k.a. it’s fine for men to sleep around with many women, he’s a Casanova. When women have sex with their boyfriends of one month, she’s a whore.

It’s just ridiculous the double standards especially when what we’re debating here isn’t about casual sex, it’s about men not getting the same kind of stigma as women even though they engage in similar or worse acts. Perhaps this is Singapore, and we all secretly love to read about these scandals in newspapers and magazines but are too ashamed to admit that everyone is doing it. We feel these people (like Maia Lee, Edison Chen, Gillian Cheung, Cecilia Chung etc.) should be shamed even though these are fellow humans that have only done human things – have sex.

Incase anyone haven’t read about the news The Electric New Paper has a story on Maia’s pregnancy

First, you need a juicy headline.

A lousy headline:
Why no one reads my blog?

A good headline:
Sex scandals littered in my blog but no one interested?

A lousy headline:
My workplace is horrible

A good headline:
Stupid bitch at office. Office politics & Cat fights!

A lousy headline:
I lost my handphone

A good headline:
Bastard who stole my phone should rot in hell

A lousy headline:
Edison Chen is a bad boy

A good headline:
Edison Chen SEX maniac with pictures [NSFW]

A lousy headline:

A good headline:
Mas Selamat f***s Singapore in the a**

A lousy headline:
Ping.sg new version out!

A good headline:
Will Ping.sg Stop Edison Chen?

♥

So there we’ve seen some examples of what I think is a good headline and lousy headlines. No, I don’t mean they’re “lousy” headlines, but more like headlines that wouldn’t attract as many readers on blog aggregators such as Ping.sg

Newspapers and magazines need scandalous headlines too to boost their readership too… I have to make an honorary mention to “Wan Bao”, the Singapore Chinese nightly newspaper. They come up with the juiciest headlines.

This is a challenge for all my readers… come up with a “good” headline for SDP’s recent rough up with the police over a peaceful rally.

Here are some of the resources for you to read up on..

Singapore Police Force calls Dr Chee’s behavior ‘wilful civil disobedience’

SDP’s account on the rally outside Parliament

Unfortunately, I am also puzzled why CASE was allowed to hold a similar rally last year but SDP was denied the rights to hold such a rally and a little surprised at the police’s media release and the way they worded it.

This latest incident at Parliament House today saw an escalation in the level of defiance shown by Chee’s group; for the first time, the group staged typical militant protest methods of locking arms to resist arrest practiced by some protest groups in Western countries. The attack by Chee Siok Chin is also unprecedented and police are investigating into the matter.

They staged a typical militant protest methods? I am sure they arm locked each other AFTER being threatened to get thrown into a jail cell. Seriously, the police are scaring normal civilians like myself with their media releases…

Is Singapore a police state?

Wilful civil disobedience? Is this what they are calling protesters of political groups now? Scary.

Definition of a Police State from Wikipedia

The term police state is a term for a state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic and political life of the population, especially by means of a secret police force which operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a constitutional republic. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism and social control, and there is usually little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive.

I’ve read in a few blogs that ping.sg will have a new version soon, and that leads to the question – will the new revamp solve the problem of sex scandals flooding the site? If there are going to be categories set up, I don’t think it will deter people from blogging and clicking on the sex related posts. I suppose, in this way, bloggers that are not interested in the scandal and sex related blog posts (who isn’t?) can view interesting blog posts regarding other topics.

I haven’t been reading the updates on ping.sg lately because…. I’ve been busy looking for a new job.

Great news! JobsDB actually bothered to correct a very big problem of their site! It was because of that reason that I have been looking for jobs at Monster.com.sg and Jobstreet.com.sg instead for the past 3 weeks! The search function of JobsDB used to be able to search for keywords of titles and titles only! Now we can all search for “Free, degree” in JobsDB‘s search box and find some jobs that will take a fresh graduate degree holder like myself =D

We just have the urge to talk and gossip about the latest celebrity scandals because we have nothing better to do! Well, at least I have nothing better to do. After showing him the links to all the sex pictures of Edison Chen and Gillian and Cecilia, he’s finding a way to properly rip all the pictures to his computer. I have no idea why he even bothers keeping these pictures since we all know that the juicy videos will be out in a matter of time.

Would people find it strange that I’m so open about sex topics with my boyfriend? Sex doesn’t only involve men, it involves women as well! Don’t be mistaken! I’m not talking about lonely housewives complex – husband go around flirting online and jerking off to pictures… I’m talking equality of the sexes. Face it, we are girls, but we are homosapiens with the same kinds of needs as men. Let’s not divulge into further details….

Please don’t look stereotype women and only judge Gillian Chung or Cecilia Cheung for this sex scandal. I understand that Singapore is an Asian society where women are still classified as domestic, sexual or weak. If one has to say that these girls are shameless whores that like to video themselves, then you have to say that Edison Chen is worse! How can these people criticize the women involved in this scandal without taking into account that the person filming all these is Edison Chen!
