We can't make this up notwithstanding we desired to. a few of this year's leisure information were so loopy, they belong on the television tube.
beneath, AsiaOne writers bear in mind probably the most jaw-shedding and eye-rolling information that happened in 2019.
WTF
1. SINGAPORE SOCIAL - sensible reality demonstrate?
Netflix's first reality series on young Singaporeans and their struggles generated lots of emotions from native viewers, on the whole disbelief.

2. SHARON AU got IN difficulty FOR BEING 'SINGAPOREAN'
the previous Singaporean television host-actress got a tradition shock quickly after starting work in Paris, when her colleagues pronounced her to human elements for sending work emails and textual content messages after working hours.
(author desires to continue to be anonymous for causes of job safety): I kinda desire work-life balance became truly given the identical level of importance right here as they do in France. i am jealous.

Tan Thiam Peng: they say bad publicity for a celeb is greater than no publicity. Aliff Aziz is undoubtedly difficult that conjecture. He has spent the greater part of the yr in terrible news and just frequently misbehaving in public - instead of blessing us along with his vocals. It seems like he must get his act collectively earlier than his pop profession is irreversibly undone.
4. CARRIE WONG AND IAN FANG'S LEAKED MESSAGES

5. R.CHORD HSIEH'S DRUG ABUSE & ADULTERY

Joey Lee: the person even IG-storied his arrest with the aid of the police and the only proper response to it truly is "WTF." I can't think about being within the shoes of his pregnant wife and having to be the one to call the law enforcement officials on him, a whole lot much less being served divorce papers the very next week and studying that he is cheating on her even before the separation is finalised. I had no concept this breed of men existed.

It felt like her former administration agency forced her into the broken mold of a stereotypical demure woman with impeccable etiquette. however seriously, Singapore ladies have been brought up to be who they wish to be, and never what ordinary society expects them to be. we are chuffed to be loud, tomboyish and outspoken.
three. TAIWANESE ACTRESS FINDS OUT HUBBY'S MISTRESS IS HER mom
photo: YouTube screengrab The headline says all of it. Jaw drop.
Joey: i believed this plot become from a Taiwanese drama most effective to find out this is fact. This you can still even be classified beneath WTF as a result of I cannot imagine being in her place and having to bring to a halt two of the closest americans in lifestyles at one go.

He used his reputation for first rate. This single mum's story was inspiring as a result of she additionally put in lots of tough work and managed to succeed via her personal culinary talents, no longer just as a result of Chow Yun fats visited her stall.
three. LIN CHI-LING finding true LOVE
The 44-12 months-historic Taiwanese model-actress suddenly announced in June that she has married Akira of japanese boyband Exile.
Kar Peng: What's more excellent than her at last discovering her happily-ever-after is them managing to pak tor and register their marriage without the media and public finding out. it's additionally somewhat hilarious how overseas media painted Chi-ling's former squeeze, ex-F4 idol Jerry Yan, as the sad, shocked ex.
