suprisingly... am into the oldies recently... perphaps its the cause of recent movies... like 'secret' acted by Jay Chou features the song, [情人的眼泪] by 姚苏蓉 . And in 'Lust.Caution' acted by Tang Wei and Tony Leung, a scene features Tang Wei singing 周璇's [天涯歌女].
after all this attractions, i began to download and listen to the oldies. other than the 2 songs mentioned, am into 夜上海, 夜来香, 不了情, etc.. i noe these song are really old... in fact ur might think Teresa Teng's are far better... but if u really concentrate on these songs, u will find that its nice... really gd... they can really sing, reach the high notes, constant, especially in their 拉音 damn power... Their chinese pronunciation is super... and enough, its not 'eerie' at all...
And here i go... Recalls the song 天涯歌女 'original' by 周璇 (01.08.1920－22.09.1957), a chinese singer/actress in 1930 to 1940, She was known as 金嗓子 and 歌后.
About This Video Did not pay in the end! The 3 British assholes ... Did not pay in the end! The 3 British assholes in the video probably weigh 200 kgs combined and they want a 67-year old man to ferry them on his human-powered trishaw. Throughout the ride, they were mocking him openly. When they decided they have made enough fun of the poor man, they pretended to have no money to pay for the SGD$10 ride and made the man follow them around like a beggar. The video clip ends abruptly but in an interview with "The Newpaper", the senior gentleman revealed that they left in the cab without paying.
The senior uncle was mocked, humiliated and cheated of his money. These 3 assholes actually think this is funny and uploaded it at http://youtube.com/watch?v=XH6RIzb_UKU as "The slowest taxi in South East Asia" and commented "This guy was hilarious."
In a newspaper interview, the rascal Bo Davis who uploaded the video wasn't repentant and said that they were not bullies, just "insensitive. " His account is at http://youtube.com/user/B0Davis Feel free to tell him how you feel about him.
Do refrain from racist taunts in your comments. The bastardly acts of these 3 hooligans are theirs and theirs alone. There are bad eggs in every society. There are also many good people around. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/sallyand... (Uncle Lee looks cute!)
Unlike what Bo Davis has claimed, the outbursts from the Singapore public have nothing to do with their race and nationality. If 3 local lads did the same thing to the elderly man, they will similarly be condemned and will eventually find their sorry asses in prison where they will be given "VIP" treatment. Bo Davis and his gang are lucky they are tourists and are now back home. In this part of the world, you simply cannot bully the elderly. If you did this in South Korea or China, the only way you can go home is in body bags.
On a side note, why are our elderly working such a tough job at such an old age? Is it because their public assistance grant of S$290/mth is not enough? I leave it to you to find out. These are the same people who built Singapore to what it is today but they can't enjoy the fruits of their labour and even have to be humiliated by tourists. This trishaw rider was a construction worker in his younger days so he literally built Singapore up! What is being done to help these people?
If you see senior citizens on the streets peddling their wares to earn a meagre living, please have a heart and buy whatever they are selling. Your comfortable lives in Singapore today are fruits of their labour.
i simply hate this ang mo-sss... they're bloody bastards... i really can't bring myself to finish up the whole videa cos i jus find them too sicko... imagine if this senior guy is your grandpa or so! how u feel?! simply fuck-up to the core... rubbish guys... they really have nth better to do and pls! its not funny at all~ lame... i shout upset for these bastard cos they dun seem to be born by human beings, they are so creature like! puke~ disgusting ppl... pls... god... make them learn... gif them their retribution... like kana knock down by cars and their head jus flew off and been eaten by crows... i curse these rubbish human beings...
and ya... and agn... if u said that its GOOD for SENIOR citizens to work until their death day! now u see, wat happen?! our fellow guys been MOCKED, becos he simply can't survive in such a 'FINE' country! shit... i can imagine when i grow old and still working and been mock by some foreigner and get mock and humiliate cos of my age and am still working! who to blame? the bastard ANG MO-SSS or the pathetic world that i'm living in?!
