YearrggccchhhhH!!

So much has been written or posted about this guy called Gary Ng from Singapore. Some call him Singapore’s Edison Chen. My source of news is from Joshua Ong’s post “Singapore’s Edison Chen Gary Ng“. You can go and find other sources for links and video. You will not get it here on YapThomas because I don’t have it myself too.

From what I read, this Singapore’s Edison Chen reminds me of one of my friend. I knew him long time ago and he is a friend from Holy Redeemer Church (HRC). Back then, it was 2001 or 2002 if I am not mistaken. The youths at HRC started to deteriorate, because most of them either started working or they went to other churches. Many people tried to help to revive the youth and one of the activity that was held is a monthly meet for youths in Taman Berkeley and Taman Eng Ann BEC.

It was the first run and it was held at the Johnson’s home (not the real family name). So, the Johnsons’ got four kids and all of them are active in youths back then. Not now anymore. It all started with a quote from the Bible and then some sharing and we finally came to a topic of youth, sex and religion.

One of the sharing was how we are taught sex is a sacred gift of God and should be kept sacred till Holy Matrimony (marriage). Then, it went on as how the youths should set an example in the teachings of the Bible.

Jeremy (not his real name), then voices his view on HIS believes in sex. He said that sex is like a trophy on the wall for him. It is one of the many experience that many youths nowadays enjoy and practice. It is what brings two individuals together, stronger. Sharing the love of God. Those are what he said that night.

I remember clearly he said “You see, it is like a trophy on my wall. The more girls, the more trophies. It’s MY wall of fame. I don’t want to go out there and people will laugh at me because I haven’t had sex before!!”. It was clear that night, Jeremy had too much to drink. He sat in, gave his very own views. Satisfied and walked out. Those present were all shocked with his comments and views. Many of whom are present were much younger in their teens. Some giggled and some just kept quiet, lost of words maybe.

I wouldn’t disagree that many youths nowadays would take it that way. They feel that it is a glory and fame that they should obtain. So many peer pressure out there in competition to achieve a high rank in their very own “hall of fame”. No wonder, there are even orgy parties held during New Year’s Eve.

That time, I find Jeremy’s comment disgusting and I still is, to this day.
