I hereby offer my sincere apologies for the trouble caused to you.

Yours Sincerely,
Evelyn Zhang

失去了的友情

Sorry to the readers of this blog. I had to do this post in Chinese characters as this post is about me grumbling about an ex-friend who was mean to me. If you would really like to read this post, use Babel or Yahoo! translate. Although I used to teach her how to surf the Internet and she doesn't seem to have much interest in Internet, I wouldn't want to be caught making unkind remarks about her.

我从小学二年级就认识她。她是我第一交到的朋友。无论发生什么事情我总是会帮助她，但是她可没有把我当成是她的好朋友。有时，我怀疑她和我做朋友是为了利用我而已。她让我最伤心的时候是在我们有一次吵架之后，我们正在校堂去看表演。我实在忘了我们为什么吵了起来，但是在排队的时候，她突然发疯似的把我推倒在地上。老师要她站在校堂的角落来惩罚她。表演的途中，我转了过去看她。但是，她却用一付讨厌的眼光登回我。我吓坏了，便赶快把目标放回台前去。我以为事情就这样算了。可是，我错了。

回到班上时，每个同学为我觉得担心又可怜。她们知道我是多么的把她当成我最要好的朋友，并且怀疑为什么她会作出那样的事来？突然，她真的发疯似的跑了过来。我开始担心起来，她到底要做什么呢？她就突然用她的两双拳头往我的头顶，连续的摧下来。一直，一直的摧下来。而且嘴边不停的骂着，“你以为老师帮你，很厉害吗？”我哭了。我的心在想，“我们不是最要好的朋友吗？”，”为什么她要这样对我？“ 但是，我却问不出口。。。

校方通知了我们的家长，并且要他们快点到学校来。我妈妈知道了事情的来容去脉时，她可是气疯了头。妈妈也开始讨厌她了。每天都叫我不要再和她当朋友了。但是，我做不到。因为在学校里，我根本交不到任何朋友。但是，我有一段时间没有和她说到话。但是，我们最后还是有当会朋友。我知道妈妈非常生气，可是我当时的心情并没告诉妈妈。过了那么多年，我们也进入了中学。到了中学五年级，我们在同一个班级一起上课。我也不知道因该要不要高兴才好？

要进入O水准考试的前两个月，我们有吵架了。这次的理由，我到死的那一天都会牢牢的记得。O水准考试要来了，我告诉她不要在打工了，因为考试比较重要。但是，她却说，”我才不像你，需要钱的时候，就可以伸手向父母要。” 我可是气暴了。这句话到底上什么意思？把我讲的好像我家很有钱似的！后来，我们有几天没讲话。班上的同学知道我们吵了架，并且同情我的遭遇。他们也渐渐地对她的人格很失望，能欺负她就尽量的欺负，能讨厌她就尽量的讨厌她。终于有一天，她证明给我看，她是多么的一个“好朋友”。(新加坡公民可能会知道明模特儿Colleen Francisca Pereira是谁。但是，别人并不知道Colleen Francisca Pereira在中学时，是我的同班同学。)班上有一名同学，名叫Colleen Francisca Pereira的女同学偷了她的课本并且把课本给丢掉了。可能，Colleen Francisca Pereira心里想要帮我出出气才那么做吧？我自己也不清楚。但是，她以为是我把她的课本丢掉了。隔天午间休息时，她就当着学校的每一个人(老师和学生)的面前，骂了我，“不要让我捉到你这个贱婆娘偷我的东西！给我捉到，我就打到你半死！”

原来，在她眼中，我就是所谓的“好朋友”。。。

事情也闹到了校长去。我被训导老师念的残，但训导老师并不是念我的人格。(我们是被分开被‘念’。)训导老师对我说，“现在你知道，她并非是你的好朋友了吗？”

我终于领悟这些年来，妈妈为什么每天都对我说她只是在利用我，她并不是我的好朋友。而这件事，训导老师也在说我。。。

终于，我和她不再是朋友了。为了这个所谓的“朋友”，我阵阵掉了十年的泪水，伤心了十年，也付出了十年。我并不要求她回报我的友情，我只希望我伤心的时候，她能够在我的身边。闯了祸的时候，不要让我一个人背黑锅。这样的要求，会过分吗？

原来如此。。。

哈哈

终于可以用华文字来写博客了。。。

To Apologise Or Not?

Part of me wants to apologise for using expletives and not asking for permission to use copyrighted images. Another part of me refused to because my reputation has been ruined even after I took down the copyrighted cartoons from my blog and Photobucket album. And then I received an email from this person called Cheong Kai Yoi explaining with great detail about how Iskander and I shouldn't be having a "slamming war". In the email, Cheong Kai Yoi had expressed that Iskander emailed me first and that "why not try sending raiha-evelyn a mail again and explained thoroughly and carefully why you wouldn't want your cartoons on anyone else's blog. Who knows, maybe raiha-evelyn might really want to offer an apology for you?" Such a gracious person and it looks like Cheong Kai Yoi won't seem to be taking sides too. Here's a screen cature of Cheong Kai Yoi's email:



I seriously don't know. If Iskander emailed me, maybe I should really consider giving an apology. Admittedly, it is really my fault and mistake that I should have asked for permission first before using the cartoons. But then, Iskander claimed that I said the cartoons belong to me and it is my property, in which it wasn't true at all. I just simply re-posted onto my blog with Iskander's name and URL still intact. Furthermore, I used it without permission and he claimed that I got angry when caught stealing". And to put matters right, I didn't get angry when "caught stealing", the reason I was angry was because Iskander sent 10 identical messages to my emails and forum account. In which 6 of the comments left on the blog consists of block letters. In Internet etiquette, using block letters is equivalent to shouting and yelling at someone. Iskander should have sent 1 comment first, wait for a day. And it his cartoons are still on my blog, then send another email to either one of my email accounts. This is the true professional way of asking a request, not using block letters and re-sending them 10 times. It is quite irritating when you get the same identical message countless times.

STOMP - The Straits Times Interactive portal

After replying to that stupid bastard cartoon artist for which I don't know how many donkey times, I hanged around the STOMP forum for a while and finally decided to post a topic on How many times have you been spammed by the same person?. Here's a screen capture from an excerpt from this blog:



Although I was kinda waiting for some backlash because of the "asking permission" subject, I received a reply from another STOMP forum user. Here's the screen capture:



Now, I am thinking really seriously. What in the Hell did I do to become a legend, much less "the legendary Raiha_Evelyn"? Any Singaporeans reading this blog post, could you tell me why? I really can't think of any valid answer..

Here's the screen capture of my reply:

SGCartoon Artist Is A Spammer!

Yesterday after leaving a post on how and why that stupid bastard from SGCartoons send me 9 identical spam mails asking me to remove his cartoons which I had done so many donkey hours and days ago, I though I would log on to The Strats Times STOMP portal to check on some of the thread that I've posted and replied to. The moment I signed in, a popup window told me that I have a private message and it's none other that the stupid bastard artist from SGCartoons. Seriously, this sick fella should do me and everyone concerned a favour. That is to go hang himself once and for all because he's been starting to be a pain in the ass! Seems like some people, especially cartoon artists think it's cute and funny to send the same damn message 10 times. Personally, I don't think so!! Here's a screen capture of the message:

Stupid Iskander From SG Cartoons Is A Spammer!!

Okay, so it was my fault that I didn't ask for permission to use their cartoons before posting them to my Bed Of Roses!! blog and should be expecting at least 1 or 2 emails from the supposed company or the artist himself. But guess what? The stupid cartoon artist left 6 identical comments on my blog for the cartoons to be removed. Although I was a little pissed off that this fucking idiot had to leave the same message 6 times, but I just quietly complied as I was at fault first for not asking for permission. But do you know what happened next? This stupid cartoon artist decided to spam me once again before even checking out my blog first! Here's a screen capture of his first email:



What the hell is he thinking? Like as if I don't have any money to buy books when I stepped into the fucking bookstore is it? Want to check out my books collection in my house? I pay for it with my fucking hard-earned money, stupid bastard!!

Before that stupid cartoon artist had even bothered checking out my blog and photobucket account first, he decided to send me another email again, asking me to remove all his cartoons. Here's the screen capture of the 2nd email he sent me before checking first:



And guess what? In the email, he claimed that it would be the last time he is sending me an email asking me to remove his cartoons on my blog. What do you mean by "This is the last time this request will be sent to you by email." All in all, you spammed my blog 6 times, spammed my Yahoo! email account 2 times and also spammed by HotMail account 1 final time and you dare to say "This is the last time this request will be sent to you by email." ? Seriously, this stupid bastard needs to get a life, fast!! You spammed me a total of 9 times and one more email from you, I'm going to send you in email that says "You are currently infringing on the copyright of my privacy by spamming me a total of 9 emails altogether." Altogether, I've only replied him (read: spam if you like!) twice and he spammed me 9 times. How fucking ridiculous is that? Besides, there are better cartoons than his. So what if you are Iskander? You can be cocky and arrogant because you worked hard for your stupid cartoons, but you have no right to spam me 9 fucking times altogether within half a week!!

The 3rd spam email the stupid cartoon artist spam to my HotMail account:



Seriously, fuck off and get off my back. I've already removed all your stupid cartoons and before even checking out first, you made yourself sound so nice and polite. Fuck you! There's no need to act gentlemanly, stupid bastard! By the way, your cartoon SUCKS!!

P/S: If I knew how to speak Bahasa Melayu, I would definitely curse him in his native language!!

What Tarot Card are You?

I was blog-hopping when I came across BoBoBimBo's blog and she had a post about dreams and I was really curious about this particular site she went to. It allows you to take a test to find out what kind of card you are, sort of, suitable to and I have to admit that it was quite true... Here's my card:

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

Felicia Teo Wei Ling

Singapore is just a small little island, in fact, it's so small that it is simply imposible that a person can go missing. Poof! Just like that. And the worst thing to happen out of this is the fact that some fucker decided to post a comment on SG forum that he saw felicia in a dream where she was captured and tortured, like a movie scene out of SAW. The wacko said that he saw felicia in a some kind of a cell/chamber, she was being tortured and she was begging for help. I'd say to this shit-hole to find a life and move on. There's no need to raise hopes only to have it dashed just like that. And even worse response was someone claiming to be Ben who said that he had seen Felicia with his own eyes and the phone number he gave turned out to be, well, fake. Please, anyone and everyone who is reading this blog, especially tourists! If you happened to be in Singapore and see Felicia, please help by calling 999 (Singapore police). Since tourists are going to explore the whole of Singapore, there might be a way for you guys to spot her in places her family and friends might not have thought of searching at. View the videos to see for yourselves:





Although I may not know Felicia, but the plight of her anxious family and friends really touched and moved me. And it isn't simply fair in a sense that nobody has the slightest idea of where she went to and how could she just disappear like that! The last know video footage of her was a video footage of her leaving her friend's house in Marine Parade. Please, if you see her, call the singapore police @ 999. Better yet, if you realised that you actually did saw her, follow her and find out where is she heading and if possible, stop her and bring her to any singapore police station or police post. Things like that shouldn't be happenening in Singapore at all. Not in a million chance!

Good Luck in Bukit Panjang

Seriously, how far would you go to make yourself as lucky as possible. Residents around my neighbourhood has been drinking drain water in Zhenghua Park. Apparently, some believe that the water coming out of the drain is natural 'mountain' water from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Some are even seen collecting the drain water in bottles and pails so that they can bring it home and boil it for safe consumption. Seriously, really seriously, I would rather take my chances with tap water. At least I know I can drink straight from the tap because the water is treated...

P/S: I wonder will I do such crazy stupid stuffs when I am old??

Spam E-Mails

Currently, I'm checking my SingNet email account and was slightly amused to find out that I have old emails dating from September 2005 that needs to be cleared and deleted. And the funny thing about all these spam e-mails is that I'm a female and the emails are all male-oriented. These includes:

» Want to get laid tonight?
» Replica for you
» Impress your wife
» Viagra - duty free price
» Want something extra in bed?
» Cialis soft tabs - Super Viagra
» Extra Time - Last 5-10 times longer
» Assertive and strong
» It's not working like it used to?
» Get it up again
» Find a fuck-friend tonight
» No more penis enlarge penis rip-off
» bigger> my my!
» did you?

I wonder which part of my email suggest that I am a guy? Fuck these spammers!!

Check This Out... Seriously...

Well, I was a little bored and had nothing better to do, so I was kinda surfing around and happened to chance upon Steven Lim's blog and accidentally happened to chance upon this nightmarish video. Watch it and you won't be disappointed about reading what I had previously "slammed" about him in my previous post.

881 by Royston Tan

When I sat down this morning and saw the copy of The New Paper, what literally shocked me off my seat was this report about a Singaporean actress being hit by rotten egg in Orchard Road. What audacity! Apparently, the "attackers" were 2 young men, riding on a motorbike. And the fucking sick part of it? They were throwing eggs at the cast of 881 and smiling at the same time. What kind of sick bastards are those people? This attack was not only unprovoked but also freaking damn stupid at the same time. What if they killed someone? Don't these fuckers realise that traffic at Orchard Road is heavy most of the time? What if the actress got blinded or disfigured? Besides, what had she done to deserve such disrespect? The cast were just hanging around Orchard Road area, busy promoting their new movie when everything happened so sudden. Seriously, Singapore would definitely be better off without people like that!! My guess is that those 2 fuckers must have been jealous in not being part of Royston's movie, that's why they had to throw rotten eggs at people to get attention to themselves. Pathetic bastards!! If their motive is to discourage people from watching 881, I shall hereby pronouce that I will "endorse" this movie in my blog. If you happened to be in Singapore after 08 August, go watch it in the cinema 'coz it's showing. If you want to read the full report on the actress being hit with the rotten egg, check out What Blasphemy!.

Check out Royston Tan's blog if you want to know more about 881.

China Wine

After hearing Corrine May on Singapore National radio long enough to make me retch over and over again, I'm taking my chances with Sun Ho. Yeah, though I don't really have a nice opinion on her in the beginning, but still, it's definitely better than listening to Coriine May singing about "skeletons in the closet".. On the whole, I only hear Sun Ho going, "China Wine, China Wine" throughout the whole music video. But kudos to the part where she called the other woman a "hu li jing", meaning bitch or seductress in chinese slang. Go, Sun!!

South Koreans held hostage by Taliban

I have just one thing to say about the Taliban. They are absolute cowards by hiding behind their hostages while making stupid demands, especially for the release of people who destroyed lives!!





South Korea said Friday it has limited ability to meet Taliban demands for the release of captured fighters in return for 21 hostage aid workers, despite claims by the insurgents of assurances from Seoul.

Read the full report at Channel News Asia. Meanwhile, everyone please do pray for the safety of the South Korean hostages. It doesn't matter if you knew them or not, these are innocent lives at stake, please light a candle and pray for their safe return..

Dancing Bunnies at Osaka

PLAY

Yes! Namie Amuro released her latest album, PLAY today. I looked over the newspaper and kinda got a hunch that I'll find her latest album in the local CD store. Hmm, still having mixed feelings over the songs... It's hip-hop, R&B, trendy and sexy and it's by Namie Amuro. Apparently, her album, PLAY became her first chart-topping album in seven years. She created a buzz with her sexy, whip-wielding image. And you know what? It's Namie Amuro's girl-woman appeal that sparked renewed interest in fans. Industry observers in Japan has predicted a new round of "Amuro Effect", as she has definitely steadily reinvented herself as a credilbe R&B and hip-hop artiste over the past two years while continuing to relate to her fans of yesteryear. PLAY is Namie's seventh studio album and it entered the Oricon charts at No 1 late last month, selling more than 400,000 copies in Japan alone. There were talks that she was copying Madonna but Namie replied that the covers of her album (Namie posed as a policewoman and air stewardess in two sets of visuals for her new album cover!!) were only designed to bring out the PLAY-ful theme of her R&B/hip-hop music and to give fans a refreshing feeling. And I dare to say loudly that I AM COMPLETELY CONVINCED!! Forget about Ayumi Hamasaki, she has to take off her clothes to sell her album and did you watch her MTV Asia Awards show in Singapore? That was simply disastrous and one of my close colleagues commented that he turned off the TV coz Ayumi was wailing like a kitten in distress instead of sounding like she's supposed to be singing. And most of all, Namie is a legend and she definitely doesn't need any titles (e.g. Queen of J-pop) to cement her singing prowess and abilities. She had it all due to hard work and her ever supporting fans all over the globe!!
