Giant Monitor Lizard Spotted at Singapore's Yishun HDB Lift Area Visiting Relative?


 A photo of a giant monitor lizard showing up at Singapore HDB flat lift area is going viral now at STOMP. The large lizard had appeared at a Yishun housing block lift lobby on Saturday, September  21, 2013. 


 


Next, the video of 2 man who tried to remove the lizard caught on the social trend. 


So glad it's not a crocodile.






Earlier in 2009, a 2 meter monitor lizard was found dead at Yishun Ave 1.

Since both of the lizards were found around Yishun, maybe this lizard was looking for her relative and thought that the lift was a way to heaven?

Hiaz. Sad.

Shelia Sim 沈惠怡 & Elvin Ng 黄俊雄. Are They Dating?


Shelia Sim is 28 and Elvin Ng is 32 this year (2013).



Apparently they know each other from way back as
 Elvin had previously been a model for three years before he ventured into acting.
Shelia Sim was a full-time model before she dabbled in acting this year.

Source: http://entertainment.xin.msn.com/en/celebrity/buzz/asia/sheila-sim-takes-on-first-acting-role-in-local-drama




According to The New Paper interview on 19 May 2013,
they both reluctantly admitted that they have been getting closer.




There was some chemistry between the two of them in January 2013,
when they were both co-starring in the Channel 8 drama "I'm in Charge".





Shelia took the initiative to SMS Elvin after the production of the drama ended.
And that's how they started going out in group outings.

Scene from "I'm in Charge" or "小子当家"


Here's an excerpt of the interview:


"When interviewed, both were initially reluctant to dish on each other.

It was only after repeated prodding that they relented and revealed their mutual affection.
Sparks flew between the co-stars on the set of Channel 8 drama I'm In Charge in January.
After filming wrapped in April, Sim sent Ng a message that sealed their blossoming friendship.
It said: "Elvin, please don't run away from me and retreat into your own world."
Ng, 32, was blown away by his leading lady's desire to break down his walls and he did as he was asked.
The pair now have stimulating conversations over WhatsApp and admitted that they have found a connection with each other."

In the same interview, Shelia shared more juicy details on Elvin's dating etiquette:

"Sim added that Ng also has a cheeky side, apart from being extremely filial and a gentleman.
She has been impressed by the fact that he will always rush to pay for their meals when they go out."

"Since filming wrapped up, they claimed that they have been out only on group dates that have included other local celebrities such as Rebecca Lim, Romeo Tan and Desmond Tan.

But Ng always drops Sim home after their outings."



Shelia Sim shares more on her filming experience for "I'm in Charge" and working with Elvin Ng.




Shelia Sim is the niece of Singapore Model, Ivy Chng.



Following her aunt's footsteps, Shelia Sim has been a regular on the catwalk and magazines
of the local and regional fashion scene.

Video Interview with Razor TV:






Elvin Ng


According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvin_Ng, Elvin began his career in acting in 2005.



He was from Jurong Primary School,
Catholic High School and National Junior College and
graduated with an honours degree in English Literature from the National University of Singapore

More videos of Elvin Ng:





Elvin Ng was filming in China from June to August. Shelia expressed in the interview that she will miss him while he was away.

"On Ng leaving soon for China and Malaysia to film his next drama, Sim said: "I'm so sad that he will be gone for three months. But I have told him that I will go visit him."" 




It is now currently September. I guess Elvin should be back and they should be continuing to find out more about each other on one-to-one dates by now?

Who knows?!!

Everyone knows that Zheng Ge Ping is looking really buff and hot these few years.
He's 49 this year (2013), which makes him a really "fit uncle".

More information at:
http://lifestyle.xin.msn.com/en/health/get-fit/zheng-geping-48-and-hunkalicious







Zheng Ge Ping appears in the later half of this video.
He talks about he achieved his current body.

He picked up body building and started actively maintaining his new toned physique around 2010.
He engaged a personal fitness trainer and was under intense training over three months.
He had previously trained on his own.

"As a result, his career saw a resurgence and
he began to get younger and more fashionable roles than the usual uncle types.
"

3) Rest and play alternates
4) Clean foods are the way to go

5 Ways To Get a Great Body by Zheng Geping - Star Fitness



Zheng Ge Ping, posing with a few models from a pageant,
showing them some tip,s while promoting his new book: Star Fitness.


He talks about how the idea for the book came about in this video interview:




He's married to actress Hong Huifang and has two children.



Here's a TVC of Huifang and Ge Ping together for an milk product.




With his new found media attention on his amazing body,
his wife, Hong Hui Fang is also slightly pressured,
according to the xinmsn interview with him 27 October 2010.

"Geping added that Huifang did feel a little pressurised by his growing charisma. However, that pressure turned into motivation. Now, Huifang pays more attention to what she eats and exercises.."



Sidetrack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems Hui Fang and Ge Ping are in a similar predicament as Xiang Yun and Edmund Chen.

Predicament that is:
They both have 2 kids and
the wife being stressed that the husband is looking more well maintained.





Back to Zheng Ge Ping:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zheng Ge Ping's was also recently in the local news when he posted a controversial
Instagram picture and comment of himself and his daughter, Tay Ying.


He posted a photo of them on his Instagram account, with a caption which read:
Ha, there are some speculations she is my ‘nen cao’ (Chinese for tender grass), hello, once & for all... she is my daughter lah, my baobei (precious one)!!!


 Tender grass refers to the Chinese idiom, “old cow and tender grass”, which refers to an older man being the old cow and tender grass being the younger woman.
It's basically trying to convey a scenario
where a older man is in a relationship with a much younger woman.




You might want to catch Henry Thia in the movie with the title "Old Cow Tender Grass" to fully grasp the meaning of this Chinese Idiom.



His daughter was interviewed this week by the local media with the statement:
"I'm daddy's girl, not his mistress."


"But far from being embarrassed, Tay Ying is amused by the episode –
although she still isn’t sure what gave people the wrong idea.
“Maybe it’s because I’m quite tall, so we look like a couple?”
says the svelte young woman, who stands at 1.71m."

Hui Fang and Ge Ping also have a son by the name of Calvert.
