Jaclyn Tay said on the New Paper today that she was fed up with doing stunts for charity shows (yes, they’re still on – this one’s for Ren-Ci Hospital).
She said on her mishap at rehearsals yesterday, “The coordination in timing when the guys lowered me wasn’t right. So I ended up being twisted”.
She was a really nice person before that.
My heart goes out to all the circus monkeys contractually obligated to perform dangerous stunts at charity variety shows. Then again, that’s showbiz, and in showbiz, people ask you to do the darndest things.
You could, however, shun the limelight and all its attendant distractions, and like, join a monastery, y’know, and become like a monk? And like, live a life of seclusion and meditation, and only, like, once a year, come out and put abseiling gear on top of your saffron robes and walk, each foot on a 15cm wide beam, suspended dunnohowmany storeys above Shenton Way, and still be called Venerable.
I’m sure Jaclyn knows as well as I do, that you don’t need stunts to raise money. Just get Fiona Xie to demonstrate, on live television, how to use Osim’s uZap.
Latest Defibrillator uZap:Turbo – I’d like to apply this on Fiona.
iTunes is playing an illegal copy of With My Own Two Hands from the album “Diamonds on the Inside” by Ben Harper of which I have the original CD.
