Hi, Welcome to Anak Boyan Singapura Blog. I'm Zul also known as Abang Long. I'm the blog owner of this blog. "Anak Boyan Singapura" means Boyanese Singaporean Child in direct translation. This blog revolves around my life and my thoughts.

Read through below to know more about Abang Long.

Who is Abang Long?
My name is Muhamad Zulhairy and you can call me Abang Long. Basically, 'Abang Long' means Eldest Brother in direct Malay translation. I'm the eldest brother of 2 siblings, a brother and a sister. I've other nicknames but I prefer to be called 'Abang Long' or 'Along' for short.


What is Anak Boyan Singapura?
As stated above, 'Anak Boyan Singapura' means Boyanese Singaporean Child in direct translation. Those three words sums up my nationality, where I stay and my race.


Reason Why You Set-up This Blog?
The reason I set up a blog is hugely because I want to chart different phases of my life. The blog started way back in January 2004 where it was a personal blog. I want to note down the events that happen through my life. We live only once and I want to remember all these events again sometime in the future.


Hobbies?
I'm a big fan of Liverpool. I've been supporting them since I was 10 years old. I've grown up to the ups and downs of Liverpool and will always remain loyal. I'm a fan of Steven Gerrard but he's not my favourite player. I have a kick-a-bout with my friends once in a while in neighbourhood parks.

I'm also a huge fan of running. I like any sorts of running activities like jogging, sprinting or going through a maraton. Recently, I managed to go through the full marathon run in 2009 where I participated in Adidas Sundown.

I love taking photos. The hobby started way back in 2006 when I own my own digital camera but the hobby hits a new level since getting to know Marffin. We love taking photos of each other, scenery, buildings and all of sorts of things that might interest us.


You've always talk about your activities together with Marffin. But who is Marffin? Is she a real person?
Haha. Yes, she is a real person. She's my childhood sweetheart.


Is that all you can tell us?
For the time being, yes. But you'll get to know her in blogs to come.


Ohh,ok. Achievements?
I've many in my life and I have sweet memories of every single one of them. But the most memorable three will be:

1) Reaching summit of Mount Kinabalu at the age of 14. I was picked together with about 20-30 guys among a group of 60 to be chosen to go for the expedition. I have to thanked my teacher, Mr Chua for having faith in me although the other teacher didn't agree with Mr Chua's choice. I was glad to prove that teacher wrong by reaching to the summit while some of his chosen students didn't managed to hit the top. I was really proud of myself back then.

2) Performing foot drills with my Drill Squad in front of 1000+ of people. It was a memorable moment for me. I've always wanted to be a National Day Parade Sergeant Major. To be able to perform in front of the country. But winning the Drill Squad Competition and performing infront of the school is the next big thing. Competing against 9 other companies, my drill squad was the champion of that batch. Performing infront of School Commanding Officer and other big names was memorable for me. Too bad the squad didn't managed to perform during their Passing Out Parade in front of their parents.

3) Lastly, to be able to be in contact with Marffin again. Priceless!

Ris Low Condom Spokesperson?

Ris Low is a condom spokesperson? Oh no, she's done it again. After winning the Miss Singapore World Title, which have been stripped of, her debate for her poor fiction, creating new Singlish words with "Boomz" and "Shingz", she's back again with another shocking headline.

It seems to me that she wants more news about her. Something "rad and loud" some headlines that will go BOOMZ! Ris Low is being appointed as a youth ambassador for condom company Espire.

We've got to take our hats off to Ris Low. Like watching an out-of-control car career back and forth across the highway from one accident to another, you feel horrified, yet strangely fascinated. And somehow the Ris Low vehicle keeps on running. She's got the media equivalent of a flak jacket -- scandal, mockery and open criticism just bounce right off. She's been stripped of her Miss Singapore World title, diagnosed as bipolar, convicted for credit card fraud, bombasted for her poor diction, laughed at for creating nonsense terms such as "boomz" and "shingz," yet she just shrugs and goes on to do something else, just as jaw-dropping.

When she was ousted as a beauty queen, she publicly stated she wanted to make a comeback as a beauty pageant organiser and was looking for sponsors for an as-yet-unnamed three-in-one beauty pageant. Then she stirred another round of controversy by the liberal use of vulgarities and expletives on the Shan + Rozz show on radio station 98.7.

But now, condom company Espire has appointed her to be their youth ambassador, to promote its latest product as well as advocate safe sex to Singapore youths.

Understandably, the reactions online have been mixed, with most expressing bewilderment and a strong sense of "oh god not her again." mllx4rt2 posted on the Diva website, "This girl is like a recurring nightmare that refuses to cease... And now she's selling Expire [sic] condoms. Why isn't her probation officer monitoring her activities?"

Chieftain chuckles at it all, writing that "we're at fault for giving her the infamous publicity to be infamous. Her determination to be a celebrity knows no bounds of decorum or sense of ethics."

On the Temasek Review website, Andrew Chen thanked the writers for "alerting us to a brand of condoms to AVOID. The Espire people can’t be very smart, I can only imagine the failure rates on their products."

no way commented, "To me, Ris Low is just another attention seeker. What “boomz” and “shingz,” really nonsense. So what if she was a former Miss Singapore World? She lost it, she doesn’t deserve. She’s a failure."

The only semi-positive response we spotted was from SeeWhoDie, who said that "we should respect her as a person. She is earning a decent living promoting this product."

Low Ris doesn't mean No Ris

This is what Netizens have got to say about Ris Low being a Espire Condom Spokesperson.






Sick of hearing about Ris Low in the news or can't get enough of her? Comment below.

Update #2 | 8th Feb 2010



Safe Sex with Ris Low


Ris low has done it again and again. I've to salute her for her perseverance for all the unwanted publicity.

Below is the newly uploaded video of Ris Low teaching Safe Sex. Is she a good role model to the teens promoting safe sex? She snapped a banana in half at the later part of the video!

"And for cheating man, do this to them. Their penis, break into half... That's all."






OUCH!


Update #3 | 12th Feb 2010

Ris Low is back in the news again and I thought I was late in posting the video above. One question that I was thinking about. Is Ris Low abit too much? Have Ris Low gone too far? Is she really that thick skin? I'm not too sure what is she thinking or what does she really want. She was the spokesperson for Espire but did not consult them when she did the safe sex video.

Said Ms Joy Tan, executive director of Zander Asia, which owns Espire: "They (producers) approached Ris directly and she went ahead without our knowledge. We are also upset by the video as it portrayed Ris in a silly manner."

The worst thing is, Ris Low claimed that Espire knew about it. Something is wrong here.

She claimed that Espire was aware of the video, and that they were "fine" with it.

Of course sooner or later they will be aware of it, but "fine" with it? I'm not too sure about that. If you were in Espire situation, what would you have done to Ris Low? Think about it and comment below.

2009 Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level Examination

The 2009 'O' Level results are out. I hope those who get their results today are happy with them. For those who didn't get the results that they wanted, please don't give up. It's not the end of the road for you. Life has to go on.

Here are the list of top students for this year 'O' Level results.

SINGAPORE: The GCE 'O' level results are out, and this year's top student with ten A1s is Lai Kai Rou from CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School.

The school had more reason to cheer. Out of the 44 students in Singapore that scored nine A1s, about a third or 13 students were from the school.

Crescent Girls' School also produced a bumper crop, with eight students scoring nine A1s.

Overall, some 37,400 students sat for the 'O' level examinations last year and about 81.1 per cent scored five or more O-level passes. This is similar to last year's 80.8 per cent.

The results were released at 2pm on Monday.
