Life is a two-sided coin.

The jack neo saga has taught us one lesson: Life is a two-sided coin. When he was enjoying the money, fame and glory and with many people wanting to be in his footsteps after seeing him become so successful, he has proven that there is a downside to being famous and successful. He has taught us all, that fame isn't the answer to everything. Yes, it makes your life alot more extravagant and easier to live, with your life being prioritized above all other commoners like the rest of us. but then, when you make one booboo (which in this case, 11 booboos for mr famous director), it gets amplified and magnified. i guess people can't blame the reporters. they are doing their jobs and in the first place, it is these reporters that boosted him to where he is today. without the reporters praising his movies and shows, would he have been famous? I guess you can call these the perks of the job. he (and other celebrities) signed up to be our (and our kids') role models when they signed the contract to be an actor/actress, thus it is the duty of the reporters to tell us about their lives, so that we continue to know what it is we want to learn from them, which is why we buy the things they endorse, which in return, gives them their pay cheque. Like the SGX, reporters mainly tell us what we need to know to "invest" our respect to him. i admit that the reporters should leave his wife and kids alone because they are afterall, not whom we idolize and know. they are just people who keep our idols (and celebrities in general) sane and able to produce good shows/ products for us to carry on idolizing them.

As for mdm kng, i would just say its her bad luck. She is the wife of mr famous director, and hence, she has vowed to be with him, through thick and through thin 27 years ago when she said "i do". So i guess this is what she has sworn herself into. i pity her a lot, because, she simply made a wrong choice. but then again, how would she have known that in 27 years time, her famous and successful husband would be sex partners/ jerks to 11 other girls? i wouldn't call her a coward for not confronting him and making a big hoo-ha 1 year ago when she knew of wendy chong (the slut)'s affair with mr famous director. in fact, she swallowed the pride as a woman and of her principles for the sake of keeping her already-very-in-the-limelight (in a good way) life as normal and out of the press as possible. Her actions simply kept her children away from the unnecessary stress and pressure from the public. i respect her for that because i would never have been able to do that. i am not as selfless, as a woman, to do so.

anyways, i know i was furious and stuff about this. so i thought it through rationally, and i have concluded the above. agreeing with me or not, this is simply my opinion as an ex-fan of mr famous director's works/ the public/ a female and from the perspective of a reporter.
