Annabel Chong

I’ve no idea why am I blogging this when my girlfriend brought this topic out a month ago. I’ve known it (surprisingly) when I was 18. Is this because of the rape? What’s the real reason behind all these…
This lady have sex 251 times with 70 men over a period of about 10 hours.

Early life and education

Chong was born and raised in Singapore in a strict Christian family. She was a student at Raffles Girls’ School and Hwa Chong Junior College, where she was enlisted in the country’s Gifted Education Programme. Former teachers and classmates describe her as quiet, intelligent and studious. After taking her A levels she took nearly three years off, including a year spent in the US. She then went on to study law at King’s College London under a scholarship. Whilst in the UK, she was drunk on a train she met a man and agreed to have sex with him in an alleyway. He brought along other men, and she was gang raped and robbed in a rubbish closet under an inner-city housing block. At the age of 21 she dropped out of law school and went on to graduate studies in photography, art, and gender studies at the University of Southern California (USC), where she excelled academically and also began working in pornographic films. Chong went on to graduate work in gender studies at USC.

Chong presented her work in pornography as an attempt to challenge the settled notions and assumptions of viewers about female sexuality. For example, her conception of a gang bang was based on the example of Messalina, a wife of the emperor Claudius. Historically, Messalina has suffered a poor reputation, a fact that some attribute (at least partly) to gender bias. Chong sought to question the double standard that denies women the ability to exhibit the same sexuality as men, by modelling what a female “stud” would be.

Pornography career

Since her parents didn’t approve of her dropping out of law school, she needed a source of income to pay her college fees. Chong started in porn by answering an advertisement for a modelling agency in LA Weekly. The modelling agency turned out to be an adult film company, which led to photo shoots and then an interview with director John T. Bone. Bone, recognizing Chong’s talent, embarked on producing a series of films starring her. She was the new hardcore star in her early gangbangs such as Sgt. Pecker’s Lonely Hearts Club Gangbang and I Can’t Believe I Did the Whole Team. Chong was reportedly interested in blurring the boundary between pornography and performance art in her work.

World’s Biggest Gang Bang

The production that propelled her into the limelight was another Bone production The World’s Biggest Gang Bang, released in 1995 when Chong was 22. Part of her motivation to do the film was an attempt to challenge gender roles. Chong advertised on adult television for 300 participants for the event. Reports initially differed as to whether she had sex with 251 men over the course of 10 hours, or with around 70 men multiple times to reach a total of 251. Some of the men did not wear condoms, although all had been tested for HIV. As well as being the largest single grouping of men in a pornographic film, Chong had started a new trend. Even though the movie is one of the highest grossing pornographic films, Chong was never paid the US$10,000 she was promised, which was supposed to cover her USC expenses,^{[dubious – discuss]} and apparently did not receive any money at all from the video.

But, Sex: The Annabel Chong Story, a 1999 documentary tracing her life, became a hit on the film festival circuit and is now used in gender studies classes worldwide.

Appearances in popular culture

After the event, Chong made a host of media appearances, including The Jerry Springer Show. This event also prompted author Chuck Palahniuk to write a novel, Snuff, on a fictional character who aimed to surpass Chong’s record by having sex with 600 men. In her March 2000 appearance on the radio program Loveline, Chong admitted that there were slightly fewer than 70 men in her gangbang and that there were water and lunch breaks during the 10-hour time span. For her performance, Chong earned a “dubious achievement award” in Esquire magazine. In 2007, a play written by Ng Yi-Sheng based on her story, 251, was staged in Singapore, directed by Loretta Chen.

Sex: The Annabel Chong Story

The sensation caught the interest of university film student Gough Lewis. Lewis met Chong and embarked on producing a documentary about her, named Sex: The Annabel Chong Story, released in 1999. The film includes footage from the gang bang shooting and her subsequent publicity appearances, explores Chong’s motives, revisits with her the site of her rape, and depicts a painful conversation in Singapore between Chong and her mother, who until then didn’t know about her daughter’s career. It was directed by Lewis, and featured contributions from Quek, Al Goldstein, Ron Jeremy and Seymore Butts. In the film Chong states that she intended World’s Biggest Gang Bang to challenge “the notion of women as passive sex objects”, and that, “We’re not wilting violets, we’re not victims, for Christ’s sake. Female sexuality is as aggressive as male sexuality. I wanted to take on the role of the stud. The more [partners], the better.” She also self-harms in the film, taking a knife to her arm. The documentary propelled Chong further into the world media as it became a hit at the 1999 Sundance film festival, where it was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize. The film has since been shown as part of university gender studies courses around the world.

Late pornography career and retirement

Chong continued to work in the porn industry for a short while after the documentary came out, directing and starring in movies as well as setting up a website. In 2000 she directed and performed in the gang bang movie Pornomancer, her take on William Gibson’s novel Neuromancer. After 2000, she largely stopped appearing in mainstream porn videos, concentrating instead on producing content for her website and appearing in a few BDSM videos. In 2003, Chong retired from porn entirely, leaving a final message on her website that “Annabel is dead” and stating that she had become a web developer and consultant. She also stated that she intended to “begin her new life of peace and relative obscurity”.

She has largely declined media interviews since leaving the porn industry and has declined to comment on her pornographic career. Quek engaged in limited correspondence for the biographical play 251, and refused to endorse it, telling the producers “Do whatever you want with Annabel Chong because this person doesn’t exist anymore.” She also stated that she could not understand the continuing fascination and sustained interest in Annabel Chong after many years. As of 2008 she was still working as a web developer in California and has also taken up marathon running.

 

It seems like yesterday…

 

After a long day….
It’s so much relaxing not only to reach home and laid down my bag but to watch the sunset outside my room. Just thinking of nothing. How my mind whom is the only murderer which cause disturbance to my life. Finally the day ends beautifully.

When the night seems to be the darkest,
it means the sun will soon raise up.
Press on.. Don't give up.

 

I failed, but I won’t fall

Disappointed; feeling kind of sorry for myself.
Why did I ever let myself to make such a careless mistake over such a simple task?
I failed, but I won’t fall..

Today marks the 100th days since she left me.
Ever since I could remember I last touched her hand and kissed her forehead biding goodbye.

I hate the sound of the heart monitor…
If someone feels that they had never make a mistake in their life,
then it means they had never tried a new thing in their life … Albert Einstein

 

Recently..

 

 

 

 

Been working out recently. Hate my build, damn. It’s serious not enough for me; starts to love carrying weights. Coming Friday: Testing out the new beers my bro bought for me. Thanks!

Drink drank drunk..

My habits kicked in, holy shit

 

The Trip

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the county with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be on their return from their trip. The father asked his son,

” How was the trip?”
“It was great Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people live?”, the father asked.
“Oh yeah”, said the son
“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered,” I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have field that go beyond out sight. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”

The boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are?”
Isn’t perspective a wonderful thing that make you wonder what would happen if we all thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don’t have

 

Complicated

Sometimes we know what to do, but we lack the strength to do it. The small-minded perspective of “me” is holding us back what takes us beyond ignorance, self-centerdness, and anger? When er see the best thing to do, we get some perspective and let go of our small-mindedness. We can make a clear choice. Having made our decision, we move forward without doubt.

Made a decision, stick with it; don’t look back. Changing our decision sets up a bad habit. It reinforces decision-making as an expression of bewilderment and ignorance, instead of wisdom and freedom. Lack of certainty then thickens our consciousness, and decision-making becomes more harder.

 

Comments comments…

I’ve found this video on Facebook.

From my point of view, it ain’t creative. IF they are doing this to amusement, well done.
With the busy and fatigue working life-style, this may make their days.
Copy copy, even entertainment shows they’ll want to create the same as other countries like Taiwan.
Losers, they can’t win them for sure.

Malaysian baby born on plane to have lifetime free flights

A baby boy who made a surprise arrival on board an AirAsia flight this week will be given free flights for life with the budget carrier, as will his mother, the airline said Friday.

AirAsia said 31-year-old passenger Liew Siaw Hsia went into labour on Wednesday’s flight from the northern island of Penang to Kuching on Borneo island.

The aircraft made an emergency diversion to the Malaysian capital but the baby arrived just before landing, delivered by a doctor who was on board and who was assisted by the airline’s flight attendants.

“The baby was safely delivered when flight AK 6506 was approaching Kuala Lumpur for landing at 2,000 feet,” the airline said in a statement, adding that mother and baby were taken to a nearby hospital following touchdown.

“To celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to present both mother and child with free flights for life,” said AirAsia’s director of operations Moses Devanayagam after visiting them in hospital.

Decisions Making

Decision-making is hard, not so much because of the options we face, but because we have to deal with our own mind. We’re confused by indecision. That agitation comes from opposing thoughts. We are uncertain about what to do, and we are thrown off balance.
Which thought should we follow?
Which line of reasoning is best?
We haven’t developed to a clear motivation for our life, or a standard for sorting through the options.

In order to make a decision, we must know what we are seeking. Most of us want long-term happiness, but we can’t decide how we would bring that happiness about.

It may feel as though life is moving so quickly that we are no really deciding, we are just reacting.

We are constantly being swayed by short-term pleasure.

One of the great texts on ruler-ship recommends that the King or Queen carefully contemplates every decision based on how it will create benefit for others.

Compassion to always hold the welfare of others in mind.

The word “karma” means action. Every decision we make creates action, and every action creates a reaction. Whatever we decide to do will have some kind of effect. It works in two basic ways. If we act virtuously, the effect is happiness. If we act non-virtuously, suffering results.
