My pic above with the scrunched up face holding the poncho is ‘cuz we need to stop trying to NOT promote condoms!! SERIOUSLY! Sure, we’ll sell it at 7-11, NTUC, gas station and mama shop counters but we won’t give them away at an AIDS Day concert?! WTF! So please remember to wear your PONCHO the next time you have sex. My sis was more creative. She figured ponchos were a metaphor for “don’t forget your rubber raincoat when you have sex”. Don’t worry about the wet weather plan. It’s Fort Canning. Disclaimer: Rain or shine event. People know what to expect. I was expecting to haul my mat and beer cooler but left the latter behind ‘cuz I was afraid I wouldn’t get let in (even though there’s beer at other family-friendly Fort Canning events too).

I’ve told the Hady story to everyone who’d listen since that day. Not HPB’s fault. Just a silly boy without a clue.

Stef Sun could really have looked a little more enthusiastic about being there. And she could’ve used the opportunity to send a real message out to her hordes of screaming (young) fans instead of saying “There are so many messages so I think I won’t say much else.”

Kudos to all the other performers esp Electrico, Jack and Rai, Dim Sum Dollies, Hossan and your male emcee (I forget his name). They got it right.

1) very much agreed on hady’ stupid,careless, insensitive joke (why didnt you name him? u got a policy? in case you have to work with him? bwahahahaha) sorry :p

2) yes condoms was mentioned several times. they even go on to say talk abt ABC etc.

3) i wasnt part of the singaporeans who were sitting. i was lying on my back. enjoying the music, looking at the stars. i only sit up for a couple of times, one to catch the PRESIDENT OF JEAN DANKER FAN CLUB and another to watch the strikeforce.

4) strikeforce is the group that does the percussion, bedtime stories is the group that does the symbolic dance routine choreographed by fabulously attired Gani

Aiya why didn’t I see you? Bring red wine never say! Haha. No, I’m not shy.

Point taken about products of a healthier choice. I guess this is what happens when one’s out on Saturday listening to Electrico. All I could think of was BEEEEER.

Out of curiosity, why isn’t CONDOM mentioned? Are we therefore advocating abstinence than the use of condoms? Or do we then fear people might be dumb enough to think that CONDOMS help prevent AIDS 100%?

Guess what? We brought Red Wine there! Eh, this is a HPB event lah… So it is granted that you see products which are of “Healthier Choice” and alcohol is not for sale…

By the way, the poncho is the only wet weather plan… If you have realised, the word “condom” is never mentioned in the script or the videos… Let alone giving one… Only Dim Sum Dollies and Hossan said it off the script at the end of the show!
