SINGAPORE: The dead China national, whose naked body was found in a pool at Sentosa Cove in March, was paid S$800 by a businessman to accompany him at a nightclub and to have sex with him.

At Tuesday morning's Coroner's Inquiry hearing into her death, the police ruled out foul play in the death of Ms Li Hongyan.

The 24 year old's naked body was found floating in a swimming pool in a bungalow at Sentosa Cove on March 24.

Ms Li had followed the bungalow's owner Mr Adrian Chua home after the pair met at a nightclub in Havelock Road.

Mr Chua, who is the chief executive of real investment company RoundHill Capital, had proposed to pay Ms Li S$800 for accompanying him in the nightclub and spending the night with him.

The pair also downed a few alcoholic drinks that night.

When they got to his home, Ms Li drank a can of beer before the couple had sex.

Mr Chua testified on Tuesday morning that he did not use any physical force on Ms Li during sexual intercourse.

The 39-year-old then fell asleep at around 3am to 4am and was only awoken by two Sentosa rangers who informed him about the discovery of Ms Li's naked body.

Closed-circuit television camera recordings captured Ms Li, fully clothed, walking alone towards the bungalow's sliding doors leading to the swimming pool at about 3.50am.

Mr Chua's maid, Aye Aye Tun, testified that she locked the sliding doors before she went to sleep the previous night. Ms Aye also found some women's clothes on a chair near the swimming pool before making the grisly find.

No visible injuries was found on Ms Li's body.

The inquiry heard that those who knew the dead woman had also said she did not seem unhappy that night.

State Coroner Victor Yeo will deliver his findings later Tuesday.

i read this news with revealing shock. could my ex indo gf choo bee bee once liaised with this fella? she once told me she used to stay with one of her sgp male pal who owned a unit in sentosa cove. could she be there for more indecent proposal?

choo bee bee had disappeared without a trace after conning half of my meagre saving. a ploy she had used about a year back to ask me to transfer money to certain bank accounts of her "suppliers". she had promised to pay within 2 weeks....and now it was 1 year and 4 months. not only she didn't keep her promise, she had totally dissipated without a trace. was told that her so called BLISS SPA in jarkata had closed down too.

what really happened? well, i don't know. all i know that she cheated my money and truly disappointed me when all those while i treated like a dear sister. all thanks to SIBEI PINE, the cassonova pal who was the ex-bf of choo bee bee.

to aggravate matters, pals who knew about this matter are now smirking, delighting and teasing with evil humour that "i had benefitted much from my liaison with choo bee bee."

emptiness is form, form is emptiness.....

for what i had done with choo bee bee was purely platonic, ie, above the hip level and not diatonic. and being leetahsar, i can't be bothered by what others think or illustrate me to be. it's their minds, their forms and in reality it's my emptiness.


a police report was lodged so that if choo bee bee had conned others they should report to the police too.

tummy ache, choked toilets and no tissues

what a dreaded pooing morning i had to experience! after having dimsum with a forummer, all the misfortune of the poo had to dramatise. here's the article copy&paste:


well, my 2nd meetup with leetahsar took us to zi yean at lengkee rd. we were there for the dimsum breakfast. i was told it was good, cheap and near to the roadside. and precisely, that was what lee described.

it used to be 50% discount on dimsum there. now it's only 30% with all the prices increased which could only means in truth - there isn't any real discount.

this eatery located at the corner of old housing estate was quite illusive. i couldn't help to wonder with such economical dimsums, the place looked terribly desolated and deserted. lee and i were the only patrons there that morning. the serving staffs were seated around chatting away. and yes, most were PRCs.

the dimsums were passable. nothing really fantastic. i rushed to pay for the bill. it was really cheap for $19 with about 8 items inclusive of the very nice tie quan yin chinese tea with free refills.

lee suddenly came down with tummy ache and needed to poo. however, zi yean's toilet were horribly choked! without further ado, he told me to wait for him while he dashed off to the nearby lengkee cc to do his bigtime biz.

without long, my hp rang. it was lee who asked me to head to lengkee c c toilet and passed some toilet papers to him. he had done his biz but there wasn't any toilet papers!!

hahahaha....this was awkardly very funny! what to do for such a sweet clown? drove my merz there, went into the toilet and passed a whole box of tissue to him.

community centres are for the people, am i right to say that?

then what the heck there isn't provided toilet papers in the toilets??

i thought all this while singapore has evolved to be a more humane society. it seems that pap has much to evaluate their public responsibilities and the claim to being a "gracious lst world" country.

it does look very satirical when such petty and peevish matter still happens out of anticipation.

it's a very uncanny feeling. it was like deja vu....the past acquaintance i had when meeting up kelvin thum or bluesotong from the forum. a guy seemingly very friendly and "sincere" ended up as the worst pain in the arse for me :(

he is still around in the forums and stalking many new forummers who he suspects could be me. one wonders what does he indeed do for a decent living? a married family man with 2 grown up teenage sons and a virtuous wife who is an IMH nurse could in his jekyll and hyde mentality behaves in such strange perversion

a mental nutcasee? a stressed husband? or simply a sex pervert in his natural being?

i never learn...NOT TO MEET NEW FORUMMERS but heck!! this itching curiousity could be the death of me one day!!

would a doctor dare ask this question to......

my poor auntie whose business was greatly affected when her market stall underwent upgrading. she was forced to re-locate not once but twice. by the time, she was back to her original stall in the upgraded market with increased rental in beo cresent, most of her saving was exhausted. she had used almost all for the shifting and refurbishing for the temporary stalls she was forced to shift to.

to aggravate her business being a small time neighbourhood market grocery stall, NTUC set up shop just next to the upgraded market. her business had dwindled even worst. in the end, she was forced to return the stall to HDB. her trouble was far from over. very soon, she fell victim to dementia and could recognise only a few familiar faces.

initially, i was lucky she could still remember me. then later, she was quite blank....and now suddenly she fainted and was admitted to the hospital.

this morning, cousin choon drove my mum, my auntie ah kim (choon's mum) and me to SGH to visit my sick auntie.

visitors to hospitals now had to undergo stringent registration. they couldn't freely visit their invalid loved ones like the last time. H1N1 (bird-flu) could be one of the reasaons why the hospital was taking no chance in preventing the spreading of such new sickness which was quite contagious and fatal.

after recording our ID's particulars and having our hands stamped, we were allowed access into the wards after placing a sticker on our shirts.

there, i saw auntie laying motionless with tubing feed and ventilator over her nose. she was still unconscious since admittance. soon there was a young doctor who came to brief us about auntie's dreadful critical condition.

just before he began, auntie's youngest son and a grand-daughter, ah choo arrived. auntie didn't have her own children. her youngest son was adopted since he was a baby. ah choo belonged to her adoptive daughter.

the doctor began his briefing about my poor auntie's situation to us. he explained that auntie got a big void within her cerebellum which was filled with fluid. beside being afflicted with dementia senilis, she could be having a stroke before she fainted. whichever the case, her health was in a very sorry state. her pulse was irregular which could have a high chance to incur a cardiac arrest.

the doctor turned solemn and requested her immediate family members to endorse instruction whether to save her or to let her die peacefully. he stated the complication that should we prefer saving her, she might not wake up and remain permanently in a vegetative state. saving her in an emergency cardiac arrest would mean applying CPR which could fracture her ribs given her small and fragile frame.

my mum and ah choo, auntie's grand daughter were closed to tears. mum was very close to this elder sister of her. i was also holding back my tears. i just felt very sad for auntie who was such a good, generous and kindly soul in her healthier and happier times.

her good-for-nothing husband deserted her for china where he died there. she adopted 3 children: 2 boys and a girl and she toiled very hard to upbring them.

during her good old days when her business was very good, every chinese new year she would distribute cans of abalone, mushrooms and other canned food to all her siblings. mum used to get 2 cans of NEW MOON abalone among other goodies every year.

now she laid motionless and unconcious on the bed.....her bank saving practically zero.

the doctor told us that he needed an endorsement from us within the next 4 hours or so whether to save her or let her go peacefully should there be a life threatening emergency. neither mum, me or anyone else could decide. so we left it to auntie's own adoptive daughter for the final say.

meanwhile, i was asking myself this: "would a doctor attending someone's like mrs lee kwan yew dare ask the same life and death question?"

this is uniquely singapore! same situational patient but with different kind of anticipation.

personally, i would agree to let auntie go peacefully cos she has indeed toiled too strenously for her entire life. it's about time she would enjoy eternal peace and rest. she was 80.

auntie, i shall miss you....i shall miss your joviality, your cheerfulness, your kindness, your generosity but most of all i admire you for your courage and dexterity in overcoming all odds. you may have zero cent saving after toiling all this years and in such dire state now but to me dear auntie, you have already conquered all!

bless you auntie and peace be with you.....

am i lazy, fussy or simply switched off?

STRAITS TIMES cheery report about the availability of jobs


a reader's letter to STFORUM about the dilemma his father faces about getting a job.

observe the stark contradiction. one of them is not telling the truth. no prize for guessing who is pinnochio.


i think i m SWITCHED OFF. relaxed and retired for good.

after losing my garden, i was conned to work for free for an avaricious contractor who still owed me 3 mths pays. not only that, all my plants from my bulldozed garden were migrated to his nursery. so there u have it! not only i didn't get any pay for doing quite a number of landscaping works for him, my plants were complimentary stocks to his nursery :(

i still had my few landscape maintenances to look after. that provided me with some form of regular income which was just barely sufficient to meet monthly expenses and groceries shopping.

but that didn't last long unfortunately. my guy who i had trained from a simpleton young farmer to now a self employed hotshot gardener in demand betrayed me. i didn't know - up till today - whether his falling from a tall ladder accident and thus crippling his arms was true or a faked up but the fact that he took the initiative to terminate ALL my garden maintenance contracts with my existing clients was something i didn't anticipate from him.

anyway, the fees collected from my garden contracts were mostly paid to him. i only pocketed about 30% of the amount collected as i also needed to visit and inspect the landscaped gardens which were once designed and constructed by me. surprisingly, this scenario didn't seem to faze me. i had sort of anticipated it long ago when i discovered he was already moonlighting behind my back.

so that was it. no more garden contracts to maintain. no more monthly income. luckily i still have a self-supporting talent and that was shares trading. it was retirement for me.... everyday was a relaxing day. no more stress. no more complaints like: bob, the leaves of my hibiscus are shedding. could u come and have a look?

it was good life. until i landed a part time job with a new reputable garden which opened up a branch in queensway. it was very near my home. working there was ok even though i was deducted every day 1 hr for lunch. (that wasn't told during the intereview and i worked through lunch until i realised that in my first month payceck) it was complicated working there.

their highly paid "sales director" was always leeching on me:(. i heard he borrowed money from almost everyone but without the decency to refund. soon, it was my turn to lend him without the hope of ever seeing my hard-earned money returning.

as i was still driving my pickup to work there, i was exploited to use my vehicle to help in the delivery with promise to supplement me with only $8 per trip regardless of how long the journey. out of responsibility, i obliged. but after many delivery assignments, there wasn't any extra money in my monthly cheque.

as if that wasn't enough, sometime i had to work very late past my agreed working time of 6pm. i had to continue working till 9pm. at about 7pm, it was dinner. again i was used and abused. sale director would request me to drive my vehicle to buy for him and some of the staffs dinner. (i presumed meals were provided). off i drove my vehicle buying dinner for myself and the rest of the staffs.

the sad part was: i wasn't reimbursed. that dinner money were paid out of my own pocket. ( i wonder whether the SD made a claim for it and pocket the meal allowances for himself and i ended up having to pay for it :(

though my title was a HORTICULTURIST, my job was bao ka liao situation. i had to sweep the floor. cleared the garden trash bins. ordered new stocks - plants, chemcials, etc. answered to cutomers' non stop queries about plants, about delayed deliveries, about host of other matters....

i even had to man the cashier. at the end of the day, i had to tally the sales. if there were extra $, the SD would take it. where the money went, only god and he knew! if the amount was lacking, to save all the troubles, i just topped it up to balance the account and i could go home to rest after a weary sweaty work day.

my deep passion for plants relieved me for being frustrated and exploited thus. unfortunately, the last straw came when the big boss arrived one day and told me that i needed to clock out and clock in when i did my plants delivery. the period while i was away was supposed to be deducted off from my hourly rated pay. my god!! for $8 using my pickup and petrol....and i faced the prospect of pay deduction?

it was about time i called it a day. i quit!

now, i saw this contradicting news/letter from the STRAITS TIMES. i wonder just how much does our labour ministry really side with the employees or continue to fake up cheerful news. cos if it's that authentic, i would be busy tiptoeing the daisies in a nice big nursery happy doing my gardening.
