Typhoon FengShen Morning After


It was the morning after Typhoon FengShen where it was still drizzling miserably. I was on my way to work when I say rows of cars lined up by the side of the street and a hoard of people in umbrellas bustling on a particularly strange activity.

As it turned out, they were catching fish, according to my World Champion Chauffeur.

Fishes in the middle of nowhere?

Let me explain. On the other side of the green slope that you see in the background is the reservoir. The green grassy slope that you see is essentially the bank of the massive pool of water behind.

Apparently, the rainfall got so heavy that water spilled over to the street side and with the avalanche of water, came the fishes that flowed out along with it.

It was a good thing I decided to leave my factory earlier the day before or my car would really end up to be a Chug Chug Chug boat.

Dude, Where My Aircraft Carrier?

As a result of the approaching Typhoon FengShen, the Reagan Strike Carrier group departed Hong Kong a day earlier than schedule, thereby leaving behind 100 sailors behind.

Yup, I can see these 100 sailors doing high-fives to each other as that means that they get to stay on Hong Kong shores for a few more days until the carrier strike group figure where they are headed next and all the necessary flight arrangements to fly the laggards back.

Oh and did I mention that the meals and lodging in the interim will be on Uncle Sam's tab?

High Fives all round again!


 
Anyway, I am in the middle of the typhoon as we speak as according to HK Observatory the typhoon passed us at around 8 am this morning.
Compared to the previous encounter, this typhoon is significantly weaker as we only had Yellow Rain Alert hoisted this morning.

I was able to get to work today with relative ease as there was no flooding nor traffic incidents en route.

Typhoon FengShen has been around for quite some time already appearing from the South-east of the Philippines archipelago.

I supposed as it cuts through the islands, the intensity is significantly reduces as typhoons is an ocean based natural phenomenon.

AFTERNOTE: Well, I was totally wrong on that count as the rain at the time of the entry wasn't as heavy as I expected was due to the fact that the typhoon hadn't arrived yet. The forecast said that we were going to be hit at around 8am in the morning when in actual fact we are feeling the full impact at around 4pm later in the afternoon. 

And that brings us to the disaster that I want to show you guys.

A ferry carrying more than 800 passengers went down into the sea is a mere 15 minutes. If the movie Titanic was 3 hours and 14 minutes, this ferry went down before the movie's opening credits was completed.

Rescue efforts were severely hampered due to the bad weather despite the ship barely 500 yards away from the shore. So far only 50 survivors were found, the rest are feared dead.

Relatives of the victims are questioning how the ship was allowed to sail on its 20-hour voyage.

Titanic was almost a century ago. what puzzles me is that, now with 21st century technology, how did the ferry company missed the typhoon alert? do they even have one?

Everybody Hearts ChungHwa Telecom

This was plastered all over Ta1wan news yesterday and the incident was blogged by 阿之宝.

For the eat potato friends, here's what happened.

There was the construction yard where the telephone poles were laid on the ground for later deployment. And there were 4 puppies who happened to be there making a lot of noise disturbing the peace of the neighbours.

So apparently, some one called the dog pound and the dog catchers arrived scaring the puppies to run for cover. Unfortunately, in their panic, they burrowed themselves within the gaps of the poles, only to find themselves trapped. They were too far in that the people couldn't reach them and pull them out and the puppies themselves couldn't get themselves out either.

ChungHwa Telecom was the company that own the telephone poles and they were contacted about the plight of these four puppies.

At first the folks were skeptical that a big corporation like ChungHwa Telecom would even bother to deal with this but surprise! surprise! ChungHwa Telecom despatched 3 cranes and 10 personnel to the puppies' rescue!

Hip Hip Hooray!

However, by the time they arrived, it was raining and it was dark, making the rescue extremely difficult as a wrong move could easy crush the puppies to death.

For the sake of the four puppies, the guys promptly returned the next day when the sun came back up again and rescue work began.

 

It was all in a morning's work and the puppies were all rescued!

This little story was broadcasted on the Ta1wan news and has touched the hearts of many people. Some even want to switch their mobile phone operator to ChungHwa Telecom!

I just like to salute these guys for having a heart and that hopefully, it would inspire more people to do the same.

The world could use with a little more love.

Girl Molested - The Aftermath

Well, it looks like the fiasco is coming to an end with Jean's blog starting to tone down on all the allegations.

There was an earlier blog entry where she was told that the Singapore police will not prosecute John even if he admitted to what happened that fateful night in Seoul.

Yet, she was adamant in her "tone of voice" in her entry which I thought isn't the wisest thing to do at this point.

Especially, when there was a lawsuit filed by John against her on the grounds of defamation.

The "offending entry" was subsequently removed as an entry like this only serves to help John's case even better. Good move.

Speaking of John, I certainly hope that the suit will not go to the courts. Hopefully, it is just a scare tactic to force Jean into settlement, thereby getting his money back.

It has been a difficult climb from the pit of being tagged as a villain. But to kick Jean when she is down will certainly relegate John back to villain status. Not smart.

The way I see this whole episode pan out, would be that there will be an out-of-court settlement and John gets his money back. In return, the suit is dropped and the matter left to fade into oblivion. No public apology. No nothing. Just let it dissolve on its own.

People in general have a very short term memory and before you know it, this whole thing would cease to exist after two weeks.

Let this be a lesson learned for everybody. Always think twice before you do anything.

Girl Molested - The Parody

This is the mystery email that appear in the email box of CowBoyCaleb on 16 Jun 2008. Yeah, the one that I wrote.

Anyway, I thought I reproduce it here for posterity.

Yah lah, write a parody of this nature damn CB Kia lah but let's face it, it was too good an idea to just give it up and shelf it in the name of being Politically Correct lor.

Sorry ah, I ish no saint.

In fact, I'd probably go to hell for this. No. Wait. Possibly first in line at the gates of hell (Eh. Got door gift or not har?).

Those who know me will agree that limpeh is tok kok king. So something like this that is funny as hell (no pun intended), you tell me how not to write it?

So you si nong kias who are reading this, you all better read it and make sure you all laugh until Lao Bak Sai (Lao Sai optional).

p.s. Why CowBoyCaleb choose a picture of the MacDonald's Grimace to accompany the email shall remain as one of life's greatest mysteries.



Dear Cowboy,

I like to read your blog everyday. This is something I must share with you. If you can, please post on your blog so others can learn from my mistake. This incident hor has been eating at me for the past one year already and it has been haunting me since. I cannot sleep, cannot eat, cannot shit, cannot work properly. In other words hor, my life kena upside down because of this fucked-up episode. Cheebye…

The constant echoes of laughter of the security officers and their finger pointing are a constant looping video in my head. How do you stop the playback? Please stop!! I am going kee siao liao!

It was March 2007 when I went to Bali with a charbor friend. Her name is Suzy. Suzy Tan Bee Lian. You know lah. Suzy is the type of name ownself give one lah. Last time, she wanted to act ang moh pai and was calling herself Grace but I think she is past that pattern phase liao. So now is call Suzy.


This one hor, working in the HR department of Magma International LLC (27th Floor, UIC Building, 342 Robinson Road) and I got to know her when my insurance agent quit then transferred my portfolio to her as she is also sideline Presidential Insurance agent one. We got along quite well and I always jio her go out eat supper since she stay very near me lor. So in a way, I know her quite well coz we tok kok a lot during all those suppers lor.

So last March hor, my best friend wedding kena canceled. Stupid fella lah… go sleep with the wife’s family maid for fuck? Want to fuck her also at least don’t get caught mah? Walau… fuck the maid in the parent’s room then tio caught? Consperm hong kan lor. So like that moh tween tween wedding tio canceled. Wanna fuck the maid also wait until marry liao then fuck mah. Stupid bastard lah.

So anyway, best friend say, the air ticket and hotel to Bali for the honeymoon now no use, so give me. At first, I ask all my guy friends if they want to go with me but all said no, say if go already sibeh gay leh. Yah lah… what they say hor, also got point lah. Besides, this one hor, is honeymoon package some more. Next, I asked all my female friends but dunno why, one by one all say no. Say financial year closing so very busy. Even Margaret who is URA parking coupon auntie also say financial year closing, very busy. iBlur lor.

So one night over supper with Suzy, I ask her wanna go with me to Bali or not. She said yes lor. At first, I think think hor, one man, one woman go overseas trip, sleep same room will kena monkey business or not? But I think think more hor, I am the man here, I don’t do anything, then should be safe bah? Besides, Suzy looks like the decent decent type of girl. So I think nothing will happen lah.

When we reached the hotel in Bali, I damn zi dong and act gentleman. I asked for a change to a twin bedroom. I tell you the front desk staff damn KNN. Give me attitude leh. Then throw me the look like I first time leave country. Harlow fuck you understand! I got go to Malaysia before ok! Cheebye front desk manager tell me there is no such thing as twin beds in a honeymoon suite. Zhun bor?

Lan jiao understand?! Where got such thing as honeymoon suite don’t have twin bed one? 6-star hotel leh! No twin beds? You bruff who? Cheebye!! Then they still dare to tell me all the other hotels all also don’t have twin beds in their honeymoon suites one. Zhun bor??

Bali hotels ALL SUCK MONKEY BALLS LAH!! Cheebye!!

On the final night, I fell asleep very early coz I was very tired from the 3 days of fun in the sun and then cheonging the bars at night. Also maybe I eat too much at the buffet over dinner lah. So jiak par liao sibeh ai koon.

As I was in my half wake half sleep state, I felt got fingers caressing my chest. Then sometimes the fingers will come to flick flick my neh chee one.

I didn’t know what to do. I was very afraid and I kept very still.

Then Suzy suddenly turned on her side facing me and stealthily put one leg under my thigh and wrapped the other over it. My legs tio kiap liao loh. I felt machiam like the mouse kena coiled by anaconda. I can feel her cheebye pressing against my leg and rub rub some more. Jeet pai tai chee dua tiao liao…

Then hor, the thigh on top of me hor, started to move leh and her ang moh knee was starting to rise towards my kukujiao. I damn scared lor. I held my breath. I don’t even dare to breathe. The first time the leg come up, the knee nearly touched my balls but heng heng at the last minute the leg go down again. Then hor, just when I thought no more liao, the leg come up again leh! This time not only touched my balls but go further and kena my kukujiao!

I cannot take it liao and I screamed and jolted up. Then Suzy pretended like we were supposed to be rubbaing and asked if anything wrong?

Anything wrong? ANYTHING WRONG?!??!

Your knee rubba my kukujiao, you ask me anything wrong??!

My scream must have alerted the security and two officers came barging into our room to the sound of my distress.

Suzy comprained to the officer about me for not “actioning” her. Wah lan!! My fault!!!??

Then the security officers look at me up and down then started pointing at me and laughing madly?

I looked down at where they were pointing at me and WAH LAN EH!!!

MY KUKUJIAO MARI KITA!!

So malu can? I ran out of the room with my handphone and walked along the beach aimlessly for hours as I called home to my best friend to comprain until my handphone no batt.

The next day, we flew back to Singapore. I never say a word to her. I felt betrayed. I thought she was my friend whom I trusted. She is a downright despicable person.

I spoke to best friend and he accompanied me to the police station to lodge a police report but the police refused to take my report and threw the both of us out for wasting their time.

I am at a loss as I have nowhere to go from here. I have since been depressed over this incident to the extend that I can no longer function as a normal person.

I think I should just go eat one pack panadol, one bottle of Martell VSOP then slash my wrist. Must kill myself or else all the horrible flashbacks that has been looping in my head over and over and over and over will never end.

Cheebye!!

Girl Molested - My View II

Ok, I have a confession to make.

The mystery email that was sent to CowboyCaleb was written by me. I have chosen to do it that way was so that people who are friends with me as well as with Jean will not get caught in the middle. Hence the need of "neutral" ground.


However, all that has changed. I can't be arsed after yesterday's revelation.

I know by coming out in the open with this, I am inviting flamers and trolls to come get me. Well, here's the thing. I wrote it and I am not afraid to admit it. I sure am glad that many folks had a good laugh over it as that was the only intention to which I penned it.

Before anyone labels me as an asshat who is insensitive to what happened to her that night, let me go on record to say that Yes, I am sorry. I am sorry to learn that Jean had the misfortune to be touched inappropriately (mistakenly or otherwise).

I am however, not apologetic for everything else.



And I may quote TigerKiller (20 Jun 2008) from the CowBoyBar:

"...to be honest, I think its ok for a guy and gal to be in a hotel room without all the piak piak piak. (<-This is my copyright. pls stop using.)

Moreover, she said no. He backed off and didn't force her.

What is damning is she failed to mention the money he gifted her.

I think while its fine for him to want back the $$$, whether he gets it or not doesn't matter at all. When you lend someone $$$, be prepared to lose it all.

By the way, it isn't just $48k. Think about the 2 years of paying all the food, drinks movies, romantic meals, transport....I think the real value could be way above $48k. And i think one of the main reasons why she asked him to Korea was probably because he would be doing most of the everyday spending.

Whether she likes to admit it to herself, she is materialistic and should reflect on her own personality. Cause this whole thing just smeared her own rep on the Net. She should have just kept it real quiet." 




I am sure that struck a chord with many of us guys for I can safely tell you that every guy alive on this planet would have been carrot top chopped by a woman at least once in his lifetime.

I have. Many times. Not exactly proud of it but I'd just chalk it up as a lesson to be learned. However, I must say that I am pretty lucky as I have yet to be stuck with a SGD 48,000.00 bill.

Hmm.... what can I buy with SGD 48,000.00?



There are some hearts money just can't buy.
 For everything else, there is MasterBate.

well done dude...well done! :) parody indeed...can't believe she's making such a big deal of it though (having said that, I wouldn't have thought writing something in one's blog was meant to be publicised in such a manner (i know blogs are public etcetc, but still!). Which makes me wonder about the state of the Singaporean mindset (in general!)... that such a matter can make news, albeit tabloid news! Poor naive man. and as for the woman, she's a pathetic excuse and an embarrassment to women. don't think it was right of him to 'take advantage' of her, but to be fair, he backed off once she told him off right?

For the record, I'm female.
I sympathised with you when I 1st read Caleb's post. Wooing a woman and after 2yrs was asked to go on an overseas trip alone, share the same room... then the SAME BED! Geez! I would have taken that for an absolute green light!
For a female to willingly sleep in the same room, not to mention the same bed, as another man, that's an open invite, no matter how u look at it.
'Jane' has shamed not only herself but all women. It's disheartening to know that ppl will stoop so low as to lead someone on for 2 years.

Girl Molested - His View

As I have expected, the John fella has finally come out to give his side of the story. For what was originally a small pile of turd. It has escalated to an avalanche of SHIT.

Moral of the story. If you are presented with a bucket of shit. Don't stir it.

Initially I thought the guy was going to just deny it or admit it was a genuine misread of signals or say it was consensual between the two parties. Then this champion guy throw in an extra spanner for the win.

A SGD 48,000 loan to her.

Of course Jean flatly denied it and claimed that it was a gift.

HARLOW!!! WHO YOU TRYING TO KID??? SGD 48,000 IS A GIFT??? ZHUN BOR???

If you tell me, the girl and the guy are in a relationship then maybe there is a remote possibility that it could be a gift but in her own words in her own blog where she made such a big fuss over the bedroom miscommunication, you still think it was a gift?

Had she just shut the fark up, all these would have just gone away unnoticed and everybody walk away unharmed. And quite possibly still be able to hang on to the money.

NOW THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT SHE IS TRYING TO CARROT TOP THE POOR CHAP!!

So tell me. Who is the villain here?

Ok, so I am drawing conclusion based only on what I have read and it is known that the mickey mouse media have a bad habit of garnish shit with more crap. And so, I shall reserve 10% of all this to benefit of doubt as I am sure what actually happened and what's reported in the news will not be a perfect match.

THEN AGAIN...

Part of me also speculating that perhaps this was a premeditated publicity stunt to get media attention? I was informed via an unverified source that Jean was the one who approached the TheNewPaper with the story. And of course our local mickey mouse tabloid is more than happy to obliged.

Afternote: Jean has commented and said that it was TheNewPaper who approached her about the story. However, she being an involved party in this saga herself, she is thereby disqualified as a verified source as well. Perhaps someone form the TheNewPaper care to enlighten us on this particular matter?

I WAS ALSO WONDERING...

I know people who are friends with Jean both in real life and online. I wonder how these folks are feeling now that this bucket of shit as flown up and hit the ceiling fan? I wonder how these folks feel getting caught in the middle of it all. Are they going to stand by her regardless or are they going to stand by the truth which may or may not be in her favour?

If you are friends of Jean, please share with us how you are feeling now.

See, if she didn't not act so high and mighty in her blog and revealed all his details, she would not have to be portrayed in such light. She kicked up such a fuss about how 'traumatized' she was from the incident BUT she is still in a very clear state of mind to know the difference between a 'gift' and a 'loan'.
A person who can argue that 48k is a gift is clearly justifying herself for reasons unknown to others.
Now, what else on her version that does not tally with his version of events?

The Return Of Rockson Takumi Tan?

I wonder if anyone still remember Rockson Takumi Tan , possibly the funniest blogger in Singapore?

Unfortunately, since a year ago, he has stop penning his thoughts. Is it coincidence that his last entry was about our PM Lee's son email to the entire MINDEF brass?

Maybe, after that entry, he kena invited by ISA to go drink tea liao. That's why no more updates.

So fast forward to yesterday when CowboyCaleb received a mystery email (Email again! Coincidence?) with a story that was supposedly a parody spoof of Jean - the girl who kena "molested" while asleep.

Some folks were speculating if Rockson has made a return with that post (maybe he kena release from "sentosa chalet" liao).

So anyway, the reaction to the parody was mixed. Some say it was funny as hell; others said it was done in extremely poor taste, exploiting the plight of an unfortunate girl for the sake of a few cheap laughs.

In short, the idiot who penned that parody is a real "CB kia".*

* Quoted from [ Karen ]. Not the exact words but summarised from all the expletives into this one description.


So let me ask everyone here and I shall keep score.

1) Is this Rockson?

2) CB Kia because the parody is so goddamn funny or CB Kia because author is a insensitive f*cking bastard, poking fun at other people's tragedy?

Click here to read the mystery email, if you have not already done so.

20080613 Orange Storm Alert


Got a call in the morning (Friday) from my relief chauffeur (the main one being on leave), that he couldn't make it to our place on time as he was still stuck in the flood waters en route. It was quite a heavy storm that started since the night before and man, damn shiok to sleep lor.

In the end, we told him to turn back and come pick up us after lunch as we figured that the flood would have subsided by then.

He did show up at 1pm when we set off for the factory. While driving, he was recounting how bad the flood was at certain areas. He said that the water at some place was as high as the public bus' windows!
Two cars collided coz the water floated them towards each other. Another reason not to buy the stupid Spitland QQ car!

There were 4 routes leading to my factory and 3 of them were flooded. It was just our luck to get it right only on the 4th attempt. We were about to turn back and call it a day then.

For what was a 25 minute journey, it took us 2 hours 40 mins. Walau.


To be honest, it wasn't really that bad a storm. It was just Orange Alert (The scale escalates from Nothing > White > Yellow > Orange > Red > Black) and I have personally walked in Black Storm Alert. Now that was really something else.

The way I see it, the flood was a result of heavy downpour but more so due to the poor drainage because of all the roadworks and constructions going on. That and coupled with the fact that morning was when the tide is high as my town is next to the Pearl River Delta.

The news on TV was reporting about the flood throughout the whole night and it was reported that there were 66 cases of traffic accidents in that day alone!

I'd imagine the reason why the cars floated towards each other and collided had much more to do with the fact that the waters were high, as opposed to the cars deliberately made badly such that they'd float towards each other?! this happened last year when parts of middle england were flooded (and I got stranded in Germany for what was a day's meeting).

Girl Molested - My View


If I may quote from Forrest Gump, "Stupid Is As Stupid Does."

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that the girl deserved to be molested but she certainly was doing everything to NOT prevent it.

Here are some of my thoughts.

1) You asked a guy to go on a trip alone with you, then share the same room. What kind of signals were you sending to the guy?

So what if you asked for a twin room? All you need is a room to have sex. The bed was never a relevant element in this equation. Who says you can't have sex on a twin bed?

Ok, so you say, there was no twin room available. You can always insist that the guy get his own room. Why the need to have to pay for his room too? If the guy is too cheap to get a separate room, then he can jolly well sleep in the lobby or something. Don't accept crap excuses like he does not have money to get his own room. No money? Then fly to Seoul for what? If cash is so tight, wouldn't it be better to just save the air ticket money and not fly?

Yes, it was your fault to drop the ball as far as accommodation arrangements are concerned and somewhat you felt responsible since it was also you invited him along. But if this guy is any gentleman, he would have gladly offered to cough up the dough for his own room. If he is not the gentleman sort, please re-read the previous paragraph pertaining to guys who are too cheap.

2) Come on, Sister. It wasn't as bad as it seems lah. There was just fingers stroking your back and a boner pressed against your ass through the fabric. No much damage done, right?

Initially, you didn't react, what kind of signal were you sending to him then? Didn't he stop when you got up?

3) Putting up all his details was totally uncalled for. If you think by doing that, you can shame him, then think again. It only showed us that you overreacted and that we felt that your blog entry made you look ridiculous.

There is a reason why the police on both sides did nothing. That's because there was nothing to be done in the first place. Trust me and save your money on the attorneys. I think you will suffer more when the lawyers happily take away your money.

4) You. Yes you. Stop being a baby and quit whining. It was a total misunderstanding. I would have taken your side had the guy continue to molest you after you got out of bed but he didn't, did he? So why the need to stone him at the stake?

Let she with no part of the blame, cast the first stone!

I am not saying that this is entirely your fault but only that the fault originated from you. So you fell off the horse. Please pick yourself up, dust yourself, get back unto the saddle and carry on your journey.

You are an a big girl liao. You can do it.

I m with you on this one. She is stoopid..
She failed to stop him when he stroked her back, he took it as a "come on, tiger" and promptly reacted with a boner.

She doesnt have a case, she flew a thousand miles to Seoul with him, checked into the same room with him and shared the same blanket and bed, its simply her word against his word.
Probably she wanted something else more from him and he dint succumb and hence the cry foul case.
Besides, apart from touching her back and rubbing against her, the guy did nothing.. hard to believe...

I agree that she is practically wrong in this case, as she didn't take care of herself and prepared the possibility that this may happen. No man is a saint.. they will try to get into your pants faster than you snapping your fingers if you didn't stop it. She should have like ask him to sleep on the floor or something and he would has got the point.

But as a gal, i know the sick feeling of being "touched" unwillingly so i do pity her too.. No one like to live with those fear, which is why she wanted something to be done...
Guess i will need to be neutral for this, okie?

Chocolate Gal: Yah, your arguments points towards a neutral stance. Asking a guy to sleep on the floor is too much lah. Invite people to fly thousands of miles just to sleep on the floor buay gum lah. She should have 1) lay down the no-entry ground rules from day 01 or 2) ask the guy to get his own room but due to the fact that it was her cock up (no pun intended) to begin with, offer to subsidise part of his hotel room, to which the guy should be gentleman enough to decline the kind offer.

Like that then everything swee swee liao right?

Feel that she abit cham la. Having to endure the mental torture for so long. But then, its her fault she didn't speak up when she was getting touched. True, you may be in shock. But then not calling the cops/ hotel staff when she felt his appendage is her fault.
Worse case is the next day she acted normal.
My stand = Damn bloody slow girl who don't know how to stand up for herself. uFail!

so bodoh ley.
  didn'teven voice out even at the very last minute of "misunderstanding" where she cld have said "hey, keep ur hands to urself" when he was trying his game on.
why so chicken shit one? if the guy was LESS gentlemanly, he wld have pressed himself on top of her and done whatever he liked ald.
i wld agree with the points jay made about being gentlemanly and offer to pay for his own room. but seeing how she didn't even make any efforts to suggest to the guy to get his own,of coz the dude thought hes gonna score some lar. she might be naively thinking to save him some money but we're all working adults now lor. this point kinda invalid liao lor. wanna save money, don't go lor. wtf
anyways, apart from stupidity and morality, legally, the girl got some recourse if she took civil action suit against the dude for trespass of person ie: battery as it covers all forms of non-consensual form of touching. (for the back-stroking and sausage-rubbing)
criminally, i don't know if got any course of action for her. i think best try for battery under tort lar.
the guy also damned stupid ley. didn't even try to talk hiao with her test water first. haha

urr... it's not totally a matter of his/her words in law liao in assault and battery. there's technical formula they need to prove and as long as they satisfy, no need to have witnesses or evidence.
if im not wrong, the absence of "privilege" to touch a person in a certain way is enuf to prove the dude is in the wrong. since he's not even close to her, and they never had intercourse b4 and she didn't do anything ACTIVELY approving of the act, hes ald in the wrong.

it's not the plaintiff's onus to prove that he did touch her.it's the defendant's onus to prove that he got the plaintiff's consent.and no, sleeping on the same bed is not enuf to be consent however weird and "possibly inviting". consent has to be clear even to the layman.
mafan to charge him in court doesn't mean it's not possible.

1) If she doesn't see him more than a friend, send the correct signals and be firm. In this case, she had sent the wrong signals and mislead him to a certain extent.
2) She cannot complain about being groped because she did not send out the correct signals and let's face it, we are all adults, who are we kidding.
3 and 4) I agree its uncalled for and seriously, unless she has deep pockets, the amount of moolah that goes towards pursuing a civil suit against him is simply filling the coffers of the law firm she engage who will not give a f87k whether she wins or lose the civil suit.
Conclusion, no point crying over spilled milk, grow up and move on.

She's sending the wrong signal, hence the action of the guy.
I mean, speaking from the point of view from a guy, a girl invites you to a foreign country, agrees to share a room AND bed with you. And given the fact that they ain't even close, the guy must be thinking he's some lucky bastard who's gonna score on that night liao la!

Firstly, I think she is asking for it, who goes on a trip with a man and stays in the same room as him. In the first place, cant she go to seoul herself? Please lor, she is sending all the wrong signals. If I am a man, and a woman asks me to go Seoul and sleep in the same room means she is interested right.
Secondly I think she is a damn prude lor, only a boner and stroking, please lor if I sleep with a guy in the same bed and he doesn't get a boner I will feel insulted lor.

I feel that she don't really know this guy very well, maybe she knows him superficially like those, "Hi, Bye." type within their group of friends but not really well like if he is attached or where he is actually working in. It is like some guesswork was involved and she is throwing out clues for people to match to the guy.

Of all the friends she had, she cant find a single girlfriend to go with her, I am ok with that but she can always ask her cousins or some other female relatives or even her mother... unless she is telling us that even her mother don't want a paid holiday from her daughter?? What about her siblings?? Single child? I cant comment on that... but i think i would approach my family members if I need to find someone to accompany me overseas.

A guy even if he is very nice, as she say that he is, as a girl, she should be more cautious and protect herself better. She claim that the hotel had mixed up the reservations and there are no more suites after her first day but I believe if she really wants to, she can always get the hotel to help her to book another suite at another hotel. If worse comes to worse, downgrade to budget hotels as she said that she don't have the funds to get 2 rooms. Seoul do have budget hotels, don't they? She did received some form of compensation, even though it is not a lot, cant she use a little to get herself 2 rooms? she was saying at US$60 a day, she don't have the budget to book 2 rooms? can you get a suite at US$60 a day?

As for the bed part, I don't know if she had got those rooms with 2 single beds or if it is a room with a queen size bed but I got the impression that they are sharing a bed. Casual friends don't share beds, if they really need to, I think she should have stated right from the start that she don't intend to start a relationship with that guy. I think John will not start anything funny if she had stated ground rules right from the start.

All in all, she may have given John indications that she may be open to something in future? A relationship perhaps? Perhaps John had misread her friendliness as being open and wont mind starting a relationship with him? There are a lot of uncertainties when I read the post but as she is the writer, everything is from her point of view which makes it hard for us to give a fair opinion if she is really molested.

Mistress Grace: Indeed it's the truth! :P

Jeni: Welcome to the blog. I think you got a number of facts wrong. 1) They didn't get a suite. They originally wanted a twin-sharing room i.e. 1 regular room with 2 twin beds, usually separated by a night stand in between.

2) At USD 60 a night, I think that is budget hotel liao, given then the girl is unlikely to venture into hotels outside of the capital city. But seriously, USD 60 a night is damn cheap already. Obviously, this girl doesn't travel much and as such is pretty oblivious to the various market prices outside of Singapore?

So anyway, if the hotel is the one who screw up the reservations, they are under obligation to get it right even if it means moving your business to a competitor hotel and that includes the cab fare to get there. As for matching hotel prices at the new place, it is probably on a case by case basis and a dash of your own negotiating skills. However, difference will not be significant as transfer of hotel would probably be within the same price category.

She just updated on her blog again as she blames herself for the whole mess, calling her a bitch, whore and all sorts of other name.

Man... we have a drama queen here.

So it was a mistake resulting for a case of mixed signals. Is there really a night to put up such a big tragic drama for the world-at-large? Talk about undergoing surgery for a broken nail. Geez.....

Jeni: My bad. She did write "suite" but I believe that is a result of her unfamiliarity with the various travel lingo. There is absolutely no way you can get a suite at USD 60 in the capital city of Seoul.

Correct me if I am wrong, especially for those in the hotel line. There is no such thing as a twin bed suite. All suites are 1 x King size beds. Not even Queen size if they can help it.

Ok. Gonna play Devil's advocate.
Asking a guy to go on a trip with you, only cos she trusts him to NOT be a sleazebag.
Same bed, don't mean you can touch. Same way, silence does not mean consent.
Admittedly the chick didn't do everything to prevent the situation from happening, I'd plead innocence. Hindsight, frankly, is 20-20. A lot of coulda, shoulda, wouldas can be given AFTER the incident. On the spot play, I'd say all your planning can go out the window.
Now this LAST one I can't fucking stand. Justifying by "I got my needs?" Fuck off. I got my needs too and that don't give me the right to jump the bones of any hot chick that doesn't say no right?
When in doubt, FUCKING ASK. This isn't a rape scene roleplay dammit.

Vandalin, yeah I agree with you. However, he did stroke her back which she did not complain cos she mentioned she didn't know what to do. She could have said no. IN this case, she was sending a signal that she was comfortable with him doing that. Its all a case of wrong signals being sent. So..she has to be blamed in some ways. In addition, lets give John some credit, he could have pushed his limits but he backed off. If he tried forcing himself on her then ok he is should be burned on the stake but he didn't.
Frankly I think she is just making a mountain out of a molehill. Its liken to getting brushed by a man on the MRT accidentally and screaming molestation!

You are right. When in doubt, just ask "Eh, ai sio pu, mai?" can liao.

jay and grace: valid points both. I'd probably put it to 10% guy, 10% gal, 80% misunderstanding.
now this i gotta say is totally on the fault of the guy. justifying the misunderstanding probably made it a lot worse. and saying "i've got my needs", that's utter and complete BS.

It's like an abusive bf going "you made me angry. now why did you go and do that for? making me hit you?" and just cos he backed off and didn't kill his gf does not make him the model of gentlemanliness or restraint.
Mistress Grace: Consider this the case of the "deer in the headlight" syndrome. had a friend who's a brown belt in karate who was in the lift with a guy who was staring and wanking off. mind went blank. only thing she could do was get out the instant the lift door opened.

ALL: I replied this in an email from someone who is a friend of Jean but chose not to reveal his/her identity.

I do have to clarify the label "stupid". It was not meant in a put down way but rather a why-didn't-give-it-more-thought way. So hope that clears the air somewhat.

Anyway, I would like to paste my response to this friend here as my final and closing comment to this matter. I do concede that my initial entry was not the most articulate but I slowly fine tuned my views after all the invaluable discussions with everybody here.

So here goes:

+++++

Hi,

I believe the consensus is that there was a misunderstanding between the two of them and that signals was wrongly sent.

Jean is naive. Yes. "f**king, bitchy, slutty, whining whore"? Definitely not. I think she was being too hard on herself as far as the subsequent post was concerned.

Yes, she made a mistake and was touched inappropriately as a result. Sorry to hear that.

What we disagree is that the guy was being portrayed as the absolute villain. Don't the guy deserve some credit for stopping when she FINALLY made it clear that she doesn't want intimacy?

Had she been unluckier and encountered a bad guy instead, she would have been raped.

I guess, we just sought to seek some redress for the poor guy who too is a victim here as well as a result of the post, considering that fact that he wasn't given a chance to defend himself on her blog.

Then again, to be fair to Jean, we are basing our conclusion only on her account of what happened. We didn't get a chance to hear his side of the story or if Jean has watered down her version on account of not wanting further embarrassment or even humiliation.

Still, whatever happened has happened and we only wish for Jean to be strong and move on with her life rather then being hung up over what we feel (not necessarily what she feels) is a trivia matter.

Perhaps, we need friends like you to be around her to give her moral support at this time.

We wish her all the best.

Jay

+++++

i'd just like to state that both jay and i have an issue with the way she handled this post-incident (blogging about it with the guy's details) more than anything else.

the blog entry was unfair, given the way she described it, a corollary would be that it was a misunderstanding. posting all his details was uncalled for and malicious. in jay's words, the punishment did not fit the crime. i agree. defending the guy was only to show that the big fuss she kicked up was unwarranted.
i do hope she moves on and learns from this.
