WOW! People Think Hugging in School is Sinful
Posted by

Everything
My good buddy, also by the name of Kelvin, pasted me a link to a STOMP article with the photograph of two students from RP hugging, and that it was severely tarnishing the school’s name:
You can read the full article at: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=39733
Let me quote from the article:
A STOMPer caught this guy intimately hugging this
girl in the Republic Poly canteen, while the former was having a meal
with his friends and thinks this behaviour projects a bad image of the
school.
The incident occurred at about 10am today (Oct 24).
PS, dearest poster, if you can actually read between the lines, the editor who approved the story did it for the sake of doing so (in my opinion). Notice the usage of the words, “thinks”, and the subtle way in which he laid YOUR story out.
That said, here is my response. I can’t resist, sorry:
Firstly, it's people like you, the OP who waste precious news space. Maybe you're deprived of love, or maybe you've never read something called "news" before. Maybe you should turn on your TV at home, and write in about Channel 5 having some angmoh flick where one guy's on top of the girl. OOH, it spoils the image of our national television, it's detrimental to Singapore's image! In fact, I've helped you think of an even better line: "What will the angmoh's/FT's think of us? How can we show hugging shows on TV?" Granted, you, the OP, has probably attended only a conservative local primary school, whereby the only hand holding contact you might have is from your female partner when you're walking with her from class Primary 3A to 3C. We can't blame you for that, it's natural that anyone of such childish nature would think this way. Being mentally challenged is acceptable by our society, OP. It's alright. That said, I'm a student from Republic Polytechnic, and a Final Year student, I must add. You can go have your lunch at Riverside Secondary School, or my alma mater, Qihua Primary - if you so hold dearly to your 50 cent Primary School noodles whereby there're no kids hugging. I despise people like you, who take out their handphone, secretly make shots, and pretend they're news. However, I even further despise creatures in Singapore who think a good night peck on the cheek in the MRT train is taboo and films it down with a cheap melamine-laden camera phone, and that said, I'm happy for you, OP - that you've not yet been able to even afford one of those. (PS: I'm pretty sure that I know who this couple is, and I'm also pretty sure about your psychological state of development) Regards, Kelvin / Yandao.com
The person who did posted the photo is a big idiot. IF you think that by sending it to STOMP would stop this, you’re causing an even bigger problem to the school’s reputation. Since it’s also open to the public, it could also be non-republican.
Illogical!
No ah, I posted it to the comments section of the post, Luqman. OP = Original Poster. Not addressed to the editor.
Your usage of “You”-s very unclear leh bro.
LOL WTF HAHAHAHA. you havent changed a single bit.
A chinese wuhan girl Mrs YI is a bitch!!!
OK. i think the camera man has really got nothing better to do. probably just jealous? oh gawd i smell a jealous fat pudge lurking in rp…:shock:
its only hugging. hugging is accepted worldly, like in australia, a hug can simply be a form of greeting.
furthermore, if they feel that this could do harm to the name of the school, then why state the name in the first place?
the article is a disgraceful of the writers skills as even someone like me, is able to spot his contradictory mistake.
I find that stomp site really tabloid like… probably 95% lies… I don’t know, just a random percentage that first came to mind since I visit the site once in a blue moon.
Anyway, you can’t take stuff from stomp too seriously. At most, just let such stories bring you some OMGWTFBBQ, LOLs and ROFLs and ROFLMAOs and hehe and hehex and lolzxzx and (the list goes on and on)… … … well, you get the idea.
lol, really dude.. who ever you are with the fluoro pink cam, do us all a favour and get a damn life..
Awww, you just need some loooove dont ya, boo hooo
Don’t like what you see, go put your eyes where my ass is BITCH!
A little advise to you, go try something a little more “your” age. And give us all a break…
~Low life mot*** F**ka.
Later
i kind of agree with Stan. i mean, different people, different perspective. i personally find nothing wrong with hugging. Singapore is just basically not very open even though we are westernized. if people find that a problem, then it’s their problem.
on the bright side, if 2 girls were hugging on the train, does it mean that their lesbians?
dp, dp. (:
peace out.
hey kel, maybe its you? HAHAHA. thts why you know whos tht! im kidding
Chingie: dpdpdpdp….. you’ve been badly brainwashed by cognitive problem solving module…. haiz…. =/
we are still living in a metropolitan country. we have our asian ethnics and cultures whereby we are still very conservative in this matter. so yeah, i agree to this article. if they wanted to be so intimately in love, please get a room. i mean it is not wrong to be in love, but please dont show off in public. do it privately. what message are you trying to tell people by hugging and massaging? love or lust? just do your business privately in your own room so STOMP wont catch ya.
Hello Kelvin, I believe this is my first time posting over here. I seldom visit blogs and comment on them even less, but you have some really interesting stuff here. (And somehow I ended up here!)
I cant resist posting sometimes too.
Anyway, excellent response to the Original Poster. It seems we have some STOMP spies roaming around RP. They’re everywhere! My humble opinion of them(stomp spies) is that they enjoy tarnishing the names of good respectful schools and people.
STOMP posters are notorious for intentionally misconstruing the truth. In other words, that means exaggerating and twisting what actually happened. And what do they get out of this? The sick twisted pleasure of making it into a fat juicy gossip for the rest of Singapore to enjoy. At the high cost of tarnishing the reputation of schools, students and other people.
I can post my response to the article here(would like to, in fact), but it is long and I don’t want to steal anymore space than I already have =x Suffice it to say that it isn’t that much different from your own response. I will proudly stand up and defend my fellow Republicans from liars that make sport of perverted activities like taking badly construed pictures of normal everyday Singaporean couples.
That aside, I hear you play DOTA. I think we have each other on msn. Maybe you’d like playing together?
