i read the newpaper article and hear about the 晚报 article with much remorse and sadness in my heart. I LOVE SUN and i am not ashame to say that- becos to me, she is one of the stongest person whom i have ever came across- it takes lots of courage and strength to do that she is doing and to go through all that she has been through. yet, everytime that i hear about an article that is going to appear on the local news- i have the same reaction as her- are they going to hurt her again. how sad is this? i think she is one of the artist who has achieved the most from Singapore but how come she is not given the due recognition? i feel sad for her even if she may not feel as strongly.
Sun is the epitome of courage and strength and a role model who showed me that nothing is impossible and the sky is the limit. after so many years, the local press still disappoints me. as much as i want to defend this nation and all that is within us- i cant do that and side the local media even when my lecturer in my media writing class said negative things about the local press- why cant i take side with what belongs to this nation i call home? cos that is the truth how sad.
i want to venture out like Sun did- dare to dream great dreams and dream the impossible. but that is only possible when there is a condusive environment where this great dream can germinate- where do i find it here in this nation? whose 42nd birthday slogan is "city of possibilities" you call it that and when a fellow singaporean went as far as the hollywood to rub shoulders with the top entertainers all that she is met with is critics and more critics??
i was just having dinner with jun and we are talking about the local entertainment scene. what happened to kit chan, JJ, Yida and Ah Du? kit chan is an inspiration when i was growing up and my favourite NDP song is sang by her. yet, think she is doing more backgrd stuff now. JJ and Yida spends most of their time in Taiwan- where the people embrace them much more than the merciless local media and press. Ah Du- has never receive positive media coverage in singapore- yet he has gone to places where even stef sun's music has not reach- he is huge there. why come back when you are better receive elsewhere? i wldnt be surprise if any of these artists rather stay permanently overseas in the protection and love of the arms of loving fans than to endure the grilling of the hots by the local media in a place where they call home. yet, its a home where there is no warmth and acceptance.

Sun with 2 awards at the recent music award ceremony in Hong Kong!! so proud of you and i think you look stunning!!!


that time i watched the video about how Sun's earnings has gone to help the children in China, i broke down into tears. here is a woman who place others before herself and who has done so much- all that she is and whom she is- that is the reason why i love her so much. becos she dont just talk about it, her whole life is an example for me, for others to follow!
Sun, i Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 加油!!!!!!!!!!!!!
