600th Entry + Yeo Wei Xin Part II

600th entry. About 12 more days to my blog's 4th anniversary.

*****************

I am just fascinated by how much brouhaha the entry on my jealousy towards Wei Xin's advertisement appearance has generated.

It's no wonder why people like Dawn Yang and Xiaxue and Steven Lim would write similar entries every day -- because these entries can create so much awareness of their presence.

I mean, fuck it! If you don't like what I'd written, or think that I am shameless (which I obviously am), like some attention-seeking media whore, don't patronise my blog.

I bet the sheer amount of hate messages I've received on my tagboard is an indicator of how foolish and stupid some readers are as to promote my blog by recommending it to their friends even though they hate that entry.

To Anarchist: Aren't you hiding behind the monitor screen as well? At the very least the whole world knows that I am called Terence Heng, but what about you? So are you being a fucking bitch as well?

To k: If I am a loser and a cunt, what are you? At least I've been awarded the Prime Minister's Book Prize, did you even receive any prize from your local library for completing their holiday recommended book list? You didn't even have the balls to leave your name, so fuck you.

To batman: I think if you were to be featured, the bus drivers would just ram their buses onto the ads with your face on it.

To defender of justice: So what "correct shcool image" has Mr. Yeo Wei Xin perpetuate?

I mean, it's has been such a long time already, and people are still commenting? Even Wei Xin's ads have been removed, shouldn't we just move on?

Maggots in McDonald's Curry Sauce

The following is a forwarded e-mail:

FYI ... especially for those staying around Compasspoint ... Gotcha ...

I went to the outlet at Compasspoint on 3 Sep 08 at about 10pm. I ordered 2
Double Cheeseburger and a 9 Pcs Chicken Nuggets. After which I asked for
Curry Sauce and Chilli Sauce to take away.

When i got home, which was a short 2 mins ride, TO MY HORROR, when i opened
the packet of curry sauce, i was greeted with a 'smell' and there were many
tiny maggots crawling inside with a portion of the curry sauce which have
turned black and harden and possibly rotting.

I wrote in to feedback to Macdonalds the same night, and this morning (4
Sep) i had a call from a Business Manager apologising for this encounter,
the first thing she asked was if i had kept the packet of curry sauce! The
maggots were crawling out, obviously i had it disposed as soon as i took
the photos, and in our conversation she also mentioned that this is not
isolated to the outlet at Compasspoint! It was island wide as it could be a
supplier problem. I think it is ridiculous! She also told me there were a
few complaints already.

Shouldn't they stop giving out curry sauce while pending investigation? It
was 'fortunate' for me that the rotting and maggots were visible. For those
packets which have not turned black may have maggots swimming in the sauce
which is not known to the consumer. I asked her if they do check the expiry
date of the sauces, she mentioned that the turnover for curry sauce is very
high thus unlikely it would hit past the expiry date. Then my question is,
if it is not even past its expiry date and it is rotting with maggots,
what's going on???

This just serves as a warning to fellow Macdonalds consumers to watch out
before dipping your food into curry sauce, you may not know what is
swimming and growing in there...

Close up shots

Marksman

For my Advanced Trainfire Package (ATP), which in layman terms means shooting of the M-16 rifle, my score is as follows:


11 out of 16 for my day-shoot...


...10 out of 12 for my night shoot...


...making it a total of 21 points...


...out of a maximum possible score of 28.


However, in order for me to obtain my Marksmanship badge, which is merely a symbol to boast about my accurate shooting, and the SGD$200 monetary award that comes with it (not forgetting a day off from National Service)...


... I need 22 shots.

What the fuck.

Yeo Wei Xin

No. I am not ga-ga over Mr. Yeo Wei Xin. How can someone ever be infatuated with such person?

As a matter of fact, I am jealous and annoyed. Extremely jealous and annoyed.

The fault probably does not lie with him, so do not misquote me.

The issue is his appearance on the latest series of New Moon's Chicken Essence advertisements, which can be found in bus-stops all over the island.

And I mean it, they are, or rather, Wei Xin's everywhere!


From Upper Bukit Timah Road, outside Coronation Shopping Plaza...


... to Lornie Road, just before the Adam Flyover...


... to Hougang Avenue 3, just outside Block 1...



There are many more of his ads at the bus-stops in the Defu Industrial Estates (I didn't bring my camera phone then). I am not so concerned over the sheer number of his portrait appearing at bus-stops; rather I frowned upon the choice of words used to describe this character in discussion.

Top 'A' Level Student? Define 'top'. How 'top' is top?

I do not have much details about his exact 'A'-Level grades, but if we were to define a "Top 'A'-Level Student" as one who obtains the maximum possible number of the highest-possible grade, i.e. the 'A' grade for core subjects and "Distinction" for his H3 subjects, Mr. Yeo Wei Xin certainly does not fit the criteria -- because he isn't one of the 3 Hwachongnians (and certainly not one of the 6 Rafflesians) to obtain 9 'A'-Level Distinctions, the maximum possible number of the highest-possible grade.

Wei Xin, at the most, scores the same number of distinctions as me.

And if that's the case, why wasn't I selected to be featured on the ad? Yes, I admit that I enjoy the limelight, so why not me? I am sure I can do just as well, if not better, than Mr. Yeo Wei Xin.

In fact, I think that my smile and my overall presentation look better than him.

Perhaps the relevant in-charge was unaware of my presence (and my outstanding grades). Perhaps one of Wei Xin's relatives had helped him to clinch this deal (whether is it against Wei Xin's wishes or not). Perhaps... perhaps... there are just too many conspiracy theories that I can come out with, but as I said, I am not going to fault We Xin and hate him with passion.

I am just jealous. Innocently jealous. Period. Not revengeful or whatsoever.
