Alex Toh

During my Secondary school days I idolised him. Gd looking, can sing and dance and always crooning the most romantic love songs: 钟爱一生 (a lifelong love), 把你宠坏 (let me spoil you), feel so lonely, 嫁给我 (marry me), 不走 (baby don't go)... and many more.

Today was watching the rerun of Taiwan's Taoyuan's New Year countdown, and as the last item of the year, he came up crooning those love songs. I dropped wat i was doing to listen and was enjoying so much, then the bomb dropped. The last song is the infamous "脱掉(strip)". Goodness. I literally ran away from the TV.

Real life is fairy tales in reverse. The prince ends up becoming the frog or the beast. With age, the romantic prince charming became the lecherous old pervert. So sad. I still like those songs, but I can never admire the singer again.
