The last time (or the other only time) I appeared in the press was back in 1997, when I was still an undergraduate in NTU.
That year, Internet just landed in Singapore. I was one of the few early adopters who subscribed to "Cyberway", an ISP belonging to Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). To promote Cyberway, SPH held a number of contests for it subscribers. One of them, is a dinner with the New Face of the Year - a beauty contest by New Paper.
I won a dinner date with the beauty queen. The catch, the reporters (2 in fact) will sit behind us to record the event, plus photo of course. The next day, the article (with my photo) appeared in New Paper. Long story short, I was ridiculed for almost 3 months by friends. The article kind of implied a romance brewing between an ordinary boy with a beauty queen - will it be happily ever after?
Franky, I attended the dinner only because I wanted a free meal at a posh restaurant (Raffles Hotel btw). FULL STOP. Simple motive. Moreover, girl like that, sure have boyfriend wah.
Anyway, back to Run Society interview.
To be candor, some of the contents were sensationalized, languages definitely rephrased (which is good) - but I will say is 75% accurate.
Thank you Aidan from Run Society for featuring me.
