I Beg Ur Pardon??? Miss Xia Xue
September 11, 2007 
We had a recording sometime back ( Let’s Shoot! )…
And I happen to come across this post today… slow hor… ha.
Dun feel quite good in fact… wtf ( wat the fish )…
The author, Miss Xia Xue.
5 Points in her post I would like to leave a comment… ( very polite hor me.. 
)
Meanwhile, I got invited as a special guest on talkshow “You Hua Jiu Shuo” (The one hosted by Quan Yi Feng and Desmond Koh), and as a special “surprise” for me, the producers also invited Steven Lim…
1. I noe its my fault for not being able to make my name well known, but with due respect… my name spelled with an A, Dasmond Koh
- What exactly did I write about Steven? Say it in his face.
2. If she can write in in her post, whats the prob of narrating it in the prog? *scratch head*
- Was Maia and I in cahoots to get publicity for both of us? (Answer is apparently no)
3. umm… a lot of pple in doubt abt it, isnt it gd to hv a platform to clarify it? unless….
- Am I being so controversial to get publicity?
4. too tough a question to answer? or… wat should she says on national tv… yes no no yes…
- Blah blah etc questions, some asked in a rather rude way.
5. rude way? we’re just being ‘straight forward’ like her…
It’s so weird to have someone be offensive to you on tv, it’s like you are completely taken aback and can only smile with incredulous raised eyebrows…
6. You are outspoken, hide nothing, straight forward … then simply answer the question as it was thrown to ya… there’s no need to be completely taken aback and can only smile with incredulous raised eyebrows…?
I wonder.
What’s in her mind.
What’s in your mind while reading tis as a third party…
Comments
Oh hello! I came across your blog when I was reading Xiaxue’s post. From the beginning, I really don’t like the way she blogs because most of the times, it’s quite offensive. I observes that she tried to be bitchy but her entries are inlogical; makes no sense, especially on the miss universe entry. If she can be offensive in her blog, she should be brave to face the music; by answering the questions posted on talkshows. What I can say is perhaps she’s ugly because her attitude brings her personality down.
4 yearss agoI feel that Dasmond gives me a feeling of being a 2 headed snake…
4 yearss agoIf Dasmond doesnt like Xiaxue’s comment or whatever rubbish she commented in the show(Let’s SHoot), he shd juz shoot back straight away AND not to blog here and make a Backstabbing action?
Alright what i can say now is, I am utterly disappointed with Dasmond Koh. Really.
I personally Does not dislike xiaxue nor Dasmond.. just come across Dasmond’s blog as well as the Show that was posted online..
Not to offend anyone, am just trying to get my point here. Thanks
came across your latest entry from Xiaxue. let’s not discuss about how she blogs & how insensitive you are to her afterthoughts.
I was most intrigued by the last episode as there are discussions about ‘responsibility’ in blogs. To a certain extent, I do agree w/Xiaxue that Steven was somewhat ‘repulsive’ to strip to his undergarment on national tv. If im not mistaken, the show was aired at a prime time where kids are also watching tv. and also as a women, his act makes me uncomfortable. Is there ‘responsiblity’ in this action of him? My understanding of ‘responsibility’ is i understand what im doing & also the consequences of my action. Clearly, i think he did not considered that. An outspoken, charismatic, creative etc are probably some of the many traits we look out for a star but definitely not irresponsibility
But I do see that we are advocating his actions, we are encouraging him, well maybe not obviously, but definitely subconsiously, if not he will not have done that again ( in some variety show) and so what is the reponsibility of creator of these shows, I may ask?
Not directing to anyone but i thought we must be fair and also to see what standpoint does each party come from.
As for Steven response, by what he proclaimed is fair to him, i see a childish boy in him. Of cos, its only fair for him to stand up for himself but i do think its rude to call people names and critise based on outlooks and not critically addressing the issue.
as an artist, he shall have anticipate all kinds of good & unkind comments about his acts, thats the life of an artist, if he can’t accept that, dun be one.
anyway, blogs are really meant for us to address our woes & thoughts of what we see in our environment, so give bloggers a break, dun jump in fight w/o considering all factors.
btw, keep up the good work you have biult on so far.
4 yearss agoUltimately its all about which view you are looking at this issue..Reading from a third party view and from watching the show, its normal for Dasmond and Quan yifeng to throw out questions which in Singapore everyone starts to avoid, just look at the title of the show, you know why. And the so called very direct questions, its easy to justify that we are direct person in blogging and we are what we blog, try doing it in national TV where millions are watching. For the two Tv hosts, its their jobs and for all we know, the questions, some of them may not even be thought of by the hosts. In Xiaxue position, a popular blogger, i felt in my views shes being quite direct in her blogs. Just look at all the way she firing off people there, even with vulgarities haa..not all asians will agreed with this way of “directness”. But repeating this direct way of “firing” on national tv with someone she doesnt like, its obviously very hard and for goodness sake, shes a girl. Theres still some image to keep..you cant expect her to shoot everything so direct off the mouth, right?
Sometimes, think about it…its just a thin line between reality and virtual world, aint it? Peace peace…small thing only la…make love and not war! HAaa… just small misunderstanding… For xiaxue, keep up the good work with ur blogs, i does love the way u blog! for Dasmond, hope the tv program,the popularity will keep rising! no offense to anyone, i just writing my own unbiased view..Chills..
4 yearss agoSome people will just say..hey she can do it on her blogs right, why not on national tv..just shoot la..even vulgarities? My reply..why not try it out yourself
i like to read xiaxue’s blog becoz she is bitchy….and i wonder how will she look like when she is older….a bitchy auntie?
4 yearss agonot really though, i didnt know his name was spelt with an A. not E.
4 yearss agoWell, to be frank.. I USED to hate Xiaxue ALOT!. Trust me.. i hate her more then anything in my life.. But after knowing that Steven Lim actually exist.. I think that he is even worst.. Seriously.. I know this might be out topic.. But Steven Lim is really.. OmFg, luckily he din leave a place for me to put a remark in his web.. Else I will, for heaven sake.. Spam him at least 10 pages of full comment bout him..
Well back to the case, Xiaxue in the show are indeed hilarious. She being fired till cant say anything. Good job everyone especially the HOSTs
4 yearss agoExcuse me, if you’re that particular with people spelling your name and sensitive over small and teeny weeny things, how about your own fresh-from-the-oven post?
From your post ;
“2. If she can write in in her post, whats the prob of narrating it in the prog? *scratch head*”
Quote ; your “it in” can type till it is “in in”?
The thing is that you’re offended over her particular post and therefore publish this post from a view,
somewhat biased. Well, if you’re really that sensitive, face it, don’t beat around the bush and tryda make life hard for people.
Straight foward, you’re perfectly right, but to a certain extent, mr koh?
p/s; i can’t believe celebrities like you would do such a waste-of-time thing. I have always thought they know their limits. Well, seriously puzzled.
And yes , i m saying this from a third person point of view after reading both , you and xx’s post. I doubt you would accept this, you’re just another ridiculous blogger contradicting himself.
Amused *
4 yearss agoI would’ve spelt your name wrongly too.
I do not like Xiaxue, but I feel that she has got a strong mindset about who she dislikes and like. And she’s not afraid of letting it be known. She is one hilarious woman, I can say that much
4 yearss agoLol i think she say she like you and yu feng!! i think that is all lie..she is just afraid to have enemies in the media industry lor!!
4 yearss agoI feel that you as a celebrity yourself would know best that there is a lot of restrictions when you go on tv. Restrictions in your behaviour, speech, appearance. A good example of someone who didn’t realize these limits would be that Starsearch judge, Alex. And he has shamed himself terribly.
Xia xue knows that there are restrictions. And that is probably why she wasn’t as straightforward on tv. It’s such a disappointment to know that you, a seemingly friendly celebrity which I used to like, could blog something so unfairly about her.
You yourself would know that you can’t really be yourself on tv, having been on tv so much. And yet you can still say this.
4 yearss agoso childish with all this blogs fighting.. ur like them for posting about her post too … why care bout what ppl say what she say .. doesnt matter much .. grow up.
4 yearss agoWhy don’t you all just give her a break honestly. Don’t you think its very pointless if you’re not bored and have nothing on your hands at all to do to sit here and deliberate about the intentions of somebody like Xiaxue.
Who is probably too above this to even really care about what you’re saying.
4 yearss agoKind of disappointed to see you even blog about this trival matter… Wouldn’t a man be mature and big-hearted enough to be unbothered and to just disregard such trival offense – especially from a girl (XX to me is just a girl)?
4 yearss agoI came across your link because of XX’s blog.
Dude, what Xia Xue said is obviously true.
I think you’re immature and rude. AND YET zomg you’re a hot of a show like “You Hua Jiu Xuo”
Can’t you accept some critics too?
*roll my eyes*
4 yearss agoLet go off grudges like this. It isn’t worth your time and might as well ruin yourself.
Let your blog be a portal of love, not discrimination. You are a member of the mass media and have the power to change so many things. By behaving in a childish way, you have not achieved what is better, but instead, ruined what was before standing strong for you – respect.
I believe that many fans would be disappointed in you but you can change this to tell us that, yes, you are worthy of every bit of respect and admiration.
4 yearss agoyou’re probably just seeking attention by trying to be as straightforward like her, because from what i see you’re so different on and off screen too.
it’s just the same as her. sigh. immature grown-up, lol.
4 yearss agonice blog.. got directed here from xiaxue’s blog. was doing some research on social blogging and the commercial values. some bugs at your album though.. and i think if you got some professionals to manage ur firm.. they cld improve the design to fit in ur celebrity status (:
( Thx, will get the album section fix…
– from 22 )
4 yearss agoAiyo! You so bad lehh..
4 yearss agoermmm..yea..i dislike xx performance.dare to say everything in her blog but terrible in tv ..n now, backstabbin ppl again .lol:)
4 yearss agoHmm, not everyone knows that your name is spelt as such. Why are you making it seem like Xiaxue is spelling your name wrongly on purpose? Gee, you have spoilt my image of you.
4 yearss agoHonestly, as a “public” figure, I would have expected your english to be better. I bet lots of little children and school kids read your blog, hope you can do without the singlish and stuffs…
Thought you should be alot more mature tha them… hmmm
4 yearss agoFor xiaxue to blog about her own views, there’s nothing wrong. What’s the big fuss about? It’s only your name spelt wrongly, i mean, so what? I think you get the wrong idea anyway, she’s not referring to you in her blog, you’re being over-sensitive. Helloo? Grow up please.. From your blog, i can sense that you’re quite offended by xiaxue’s blog post.. Even if she wants to talk about her views, the guest would simply shoot at her and assume they ‘re right all the time. Stop being childih, you’re hurting her too. And as a public figure, i think you should work harder on your grammer and vocabulary. No offence.
4 yearss agohi das,
never watch the show. came here from xx’s site.
i dun think she sounded offended by u guys or anything leh. but i think she has problem narrating cos simple… she is a blogger.
If she is so good at talking, she would be a host le (like u.. not putting her down).
Based on what viewers want and what the hosts want out of the show, it would be nice to watch the “showdown” between them… but it’s not easy for her. Cos she may be out-spoken on the blog… but when asked to talk abt the blog in the show, it wont be easy…
anw, hope things are ok between you two. that blog entry confirm… was not intentional tt she was angry at u or whatever. dun let little things spoil friendship.
bao zhong..
4 yearss agohaha omg so uncool
4 yearss agooh yeah
please blog in proper english thx
i guess the whole idea of blogging in the first place, is to write whatevers on your mind. If everyone were to voice their unhappiness at every single thing to the other party, the world would be such a horrible place. People really should bite their tongues sometimes. i guess thats why a blog is helpful, it allws one freedom of expreesion and an outlet for frustration.
for starters i thought you were quite rude when you asked her how many people view her blog when she first started. Isnt it obvious enough that if xx’s blog has reached over ten thousand hits, that once upon a time it was only thirty? Why not even one.. im sure it started off with one, or two readers maybe.
The guests on your show were rude too and it seemed that they were too unrelenting with their judgements; judgements already formed prior to being on the program. What, just because shes popular and all that means she has to be more tactful in her ways? i dont deny that that would be a kinder thing to do, but lets face it, this whole anti-bloggers fiasco has gotten almost passe. Shes writiing what she wants to write and thats the whole reason people started reading it, which is the reason her blog became popular, which is the reason why you guys invited her to the show.
If the show is all about speaking your mind and airing your dissent, whats this about getting the dissenter to watch what shes saying?
I thought the whole panel and i mean everysingle one of your on the program save that nice lady in green on the opposite side, was mean and some comments were unjustified, uncalled for, and i hope nobod ever patronises your program too, because i think if you have the decency to invite someone on the show, the least you could do is try to lighten up the atmosphere when people are verbally attacking your special invited guest.
also, i think it wasnt very nice to be writing about her blog and highlighting the bits that you dont like in bold. kinda gives the impression that youre tryin to be nice and polite and cordial yet overtly sarcastic.(eg wtf – wat the fish? What the fish??) Too transparent, if you know what i mean. if you dont think very highly of miss xiaxua i think this entry just pretty much puts you in the same catagory as her (in your standards) but at least she’s forthright about what she does or doesnt like, and tells it like it is, rather that imply here and there beating about the bush.
yea, thats it i guess. sorry if you dont like my words very much but i think perhaps if youre personal friends with those on the panel too, you could convey these to them because it doesnt do one good to make such hard and fast judgements on others because doing so, they only hear what their saying and not the other partys’ words. theyre probably beter off hosting their own talk show.
yea, just my third party thoughts.. and only because u asked.
4 yearss agoon hindsight, im so sorry for my comments above, i had some strongs ideas but i really shouldve kept them to myself, instead of allowing myself to go on a rant like that.
on another note, i used to listen to 933 and ive really enjoyed your segments; it was my constant companion during sec school days mugging. youre a good dj and your command of mandarin is admirable and you seem really pleasant over the radio.
4 yearss agoall the best in your career!
What’s wrong with xiaxue bloging what she wants in her blog?Of course she more specialised in blog while you in hosting show,anything vice versa wont work.By the way I also dont know your name is Dasmond till now as Desmond is the real Christian name known worldwide.And I guess you purposely choose the name so people can remember you more.Continue with your what the fish *rolls eyes* Obviously everyone want to get more popular or to be recognised.If you say her actions need to be ponder,I doubt you too.
4 yearss agoFunny! Outspoken ‘her’ should be able to perform as per ‘blogging’…unless, the ‘well-known’ her is known to be reserved / aloof? Your perception tells the truth…
4 yearss agoI think your post wasn’t that polite actually.
I know that spelling your name wrongly must be quite bad for you, but it wasn’t such a big deal afterall is it?
It’s as though it’s because it was Xiaxue who spelt it wrongly thats why the big reaction.
And she was just stating what happened and you seemed to have a lot of opinion on all of that. Like “If she can write in in her post, whats the prob of narrating it in the prog? *scratch head*” She wasn’t complaining about being asked the question was she?
Of course there is a difference between writing something on a blog and saying things out on tv.You wouldn’t voice out your opinion on her on tv too right?
Oh and that wtf (what the fish).It’s like you are trying to act civilised or something.Nevermind….
I wonder what’s on your mind too.
4 yearss agohonestly everyone and mr dasmond koh :
give wendy aka xiaxue,
due credit.
it certainly wasn’t easy for her to be on that talk show. ( which had a handful of people,hosts and invited guests) use means of interrogative questions to bombard her under a pretext of professionalism.
i would like to suggest that before anyone makes comments,
to put yourself into her shoes.
afterall, she was just being HONEST.
4 yearss agoSeriously, I agree that sometimes when we’re writing things out online (virtual), we tend to be bolder… and I think maybe that was why Xiaxue was not spitting out everything on her mind… TV is not her context. I mean she’s a blogger and she’s so used to blogging out her feelings. AND she did say what’s on her mind about Steven Lim… that he’s disgusting and annoying. and MR DASMOND KOH… YOUR NAME IS WEIRD AND I EVEN GOT IT WRONG AS DESMOND IMMEDIATELY AFTER I SAW YOUR URL. well and i never actually know that your name is dasmond koh…. cos you’re a chinese host and take it tt ppl only know your chinese name and thats good enough i think. after all…. you’re not jay chou
i really liked you but i like xiaxue more cos she’s brave enough to spit her feelings all out unlike some ppl who only say nice things to others and curse them like mad in private…
( everything came after the recording, I would have done so if I knew what’s gonna happen later on, asking it directly in the show…
– from 22 )
4 yearss agoOH YEA RIGHT! WHY DIDN’T YOU TOLD HER STRAIGHT IN THE FACE TO NARRATE IT AND BE AS IMPOLITE AS THIS POST TO HER ON TV?? SO YOU WERE INDEED BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY ON YOUR BLOG AND YET YOU’RE COMPLAINING ABOUT OTHERS??? THAT IS VERY FUNNY!
( everything came after the recording, I would have done so if I knew what’s gonna happen later on, asking it directly in the show… – from 22 )
4 yearss agoi know this thing is like so over,
BUT!
So, you say that xiaxue was rude in her blog !
den what about you?
do you think you’re that polite too?
well, MR DASMON KOH!
why dont you just admit you want your blog to be famous too?
now ppl are reading your blog bcos u SHOOT xiaxue and obviously she will comment back!
and on the show, it was obvious that de two ah peks sitting there were shooting her!
they didnt even let her like have a chance to say something, whenever shes gonna speak, one of em will like “BLAHBLAH” and interrupt her.
you call that polite?
&wadsup wif the “special surprise” for her?
obviously, all the ppl know she dont like dat EYEBROW PLUCKER!
and the truth was,
you were rude too!
WTFISH!
yeah, whtever,anyways.
you’ve just lost some respect,
even though i dont even know why i liked your hosting at first!
&i still thought the show was meant to “SPEAK YOUR MIND”.
