drag queen or crazy fan?

ho ho

Just saw sammyboy forum a few hours back and was actually pretty amused that someone posted as BishanBoy http://forums.delphiforums.com/sammyboymod/messages?msg=173314.1 and some of the people I knew thought it was me.

Remarked to my friends jokingly about it that I didn't know that I got a fan who wants to impersonate me... but some of my friends warned me that recently sammyboy has a "clone war" there where the dark side of the force are sending moles to disrupt and chase people from the forum.

So I better make it clear here that this BishanBoy is not me, in fact I will not like to post articles in Sammyboy talking to anonymous people (I have done so a few years back but I have gone past that). Now I wish that whoever wants to exchange information and hold a conversation with me, hope I can meet the person face to face. Anyway Sammyboy is still one of my favorite bed time forum I like to go to... to sniff out alternative information and also get a good laugh from some post... in fact this BishanBoy is making my day :P

Perhaps BishanBoy will visit my blog again and thus my recommendation to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T1LIrzsgqA

Incidentally this movie is my favorite movie... enjoy it. it's your last chance. anyhow :)

Dare to Document, Dare to Talk, Dare to Blog etc etc

Hi Friends

I am encouraged by the good turn up by you guys for the political film screening :)

Yes finally my film 鸡蛋碰石头 or How My Favourite Opposition Party Fought the PAP
(and lost their pants, again) has a "world premiere" at a private function recently.

Nice to see 50 over people (academics, filmmakers, arts community, politicians from SDP, WP, human rights activists, TOC, bloggers, ex-ISD detainees, trouble-makers etc etc) coming down to watch my film and Martyn See's Speakers Cornered.

Will share my thots once I am not so busy as I am pre-occupied with the Singapore International Film Festival as Mr Ho-spitality Co-ordinator :P

However my activists friends and I are also going to organized another event soon... this April 10 :)

As you are aware IPS have a closed door forum with Mr Steven Gan, Mr Jeff Ooi, Mr Nathaniel Tan (Malaysian Bloggers who made an impact on the recent Malaysian Election)

However we feel that more people should get a chance to hear it and good news is that Mr Steven Gan and Mr Nathaniel Tan are agreeable to our invite to share their thoughts.

Thus You my dear friends are invited to the forum 'Cyber Activism : The Malaysian Experience' on Thursday, 10 April at 7.30pm in Jalan Besar

Confirmed speakers are Mr Steven Gan, the co-founder and editor of celebrated news portal Malaysiakini, and Mr Nathaniel Tan, an internet activist with the Malaysian opposition Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

Local blogger/activist Mr Alex Au will moderate the discussion.

For details of the venue, please RSVP and state the name(s) of person(s) who wish to attend to: daretodocument@gmail.com

Please note that this event is billed as yet another "private function" :P

The forum is jointly organized and sponsored by Martyn See, Seelan Palay, Isrizal, Ho Choon Hiong and Muhammad Shafi'ie. (Our shining happy faces at the Dare to Document recently as we say screw you Film Act)
