My Top 10 Funny Singapore Youtube Channels - January 2013

Here's a list of some current popular Singapore YouTubers that I currently watch from time to time to relax and have a good laugh. 



Mostly of them post about the funny antics and lifestyles of Singaporeans. Some of the observed behavior when re-enacted can seem as a bit extreme, but it's comedy after all.

There are more and more of them that are coming up and it's hard to keep track of who has posted the latest funny video. So I just randomly visit the channels below when I'm feeling bored for the latest posts for some light entertainment!

Samurai Man With A Sword On Singapore MRT Train Spotted

According to a report on asiaone.com, at about 12.45pm,
on 16th December 2013, a man carrying a weapon
that looked like a long sword was spotted on the MRT train at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station.



Samurai Man has been identified as Mr Peter Chua.
He is a 39-year-old swordsmanship instructor and tattoo artist,
according to the latest report from asiaone.com on 18 Dec 2013 at
http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/mrt-samurai-swordsmanship-coach.

Visit Peter Chua's Facebook page at:
https://www.facebook.com/peter.chua.7967

Video interview from commuter who was on board
with never before seen footage of Samurai Man caught on Traffic Light Junction Camera
At Bugis Area before he was caught:

He appears to be wearing a printed white T-shirt and a wrap-around sarong.
It's strange that he would carry such a big weapon onto a public transport system.

What were his objectives?
To cause a commotion? To cause harm? To raise awareness? 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Some crazy scenarios that I think would be possible:

1. He could be a time traveler who has ended up in the wrong era and destination.

Thus explaining his attire and weapon. 

2. His sword is actually a umbrella with the handle shaped like a samurai sword.
 He just got that from an office party Secret Santa exchange
and was making his way home. 

3. He's on his way to a cosplay party and doesn't have enough money to take a cab. 

4. He's a undercover agent testing out the security protocol of the SMRT company.

5. He just wanted to have some attention for the day to cap off 2013. 

6. On his way to Cathay Cinema at Dhoby Ghaut to watch the new Keanu Reeves movie "47 Ronin"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

He's just been apprehended by the police.
He looks like his has shoulder length hair that are half bleached. 

According to a report from asiaone.com, he could be faced with a 5 year jail sentence
for wielding a sword on board a train.

He had apparently jumped over the fare gate at Paya Lebar MRT station without using
his EZ link card as well.

The winner of the new paper face 2009 was however, Victoria Bradbury.

Julie did not do too badly. She was actually the 1st runner up title.

Here are some references.

Julie and Elvin Ng in "It’s a Wonderful Life"  好运到 in 2012.

She has acted alongside Qi Yuwu (Sounds like "715" in Mandarin) and Joanne Peh in one of Channel's 8 mega drama serial: "A Song To Remember" 星洲之夜 in 2012.



In 2013's 96°C Café, Julie was the main actress acting alongside Desmond Tan.

Notables:

In my opinion, she had an excellent stellar performance in Unridde 2:
http://entertainment.xin.msn.com/en/celebrity/buzz/asia/unriddle-2-the-good-bad-and-questionable?page=5

Her acting was spell-binding and made me believe she was the real character in the show.
The role called for extreme changes in her facial, mood and body expressions as

she was cast as a girl with a bi-polar disorder who is both mute and deaf.

She was also known as "Jiu Mei" or "九妹" for a while when the drama serial  "A Song To Remember" was airing on tv in Singapore.

She was so well known as the character that even the local news media
used her character name as a headliner.
"Jiu Mei escapes death!"





More on that incident:



Julie Tan had a narrow escape from death.

It was reported in www.asiaone.com, that she suffered from an acute asthma attack and did not have her inhaler with her. She was rushed to the hospital by her mum.
More informaiton at:
http://stcommunities.straitstimes.com/tv/2013/02/13/julie-tan-opens-about-her-life-threatening-asthma-attack
 

Her love life evolved from that trip to the hospital.
She mentioned in the interview on iWeekly in August 2013,



that she realised that
her life and time is precious and that she did not want to have any regrets.
So she contacted a guy that pursued her 4 months ago with a simple "How are you?"
Previously, she focused on her career in acting and schoolwork when he was courting her.
So she did not commit to dating or developing the relationship.
