Life Story
Tues, 9pmHow many times have each of us wallowed in self-pity, moaning about the
state of our existence? Or how the grass on the other side is always greener?
But individuals triumph. Some find strength in their human spirit to overcome
all odds and overcome life’s challenges. Based on true life stories, Life Story
is also about the simple things in life. Father-and-son ties, children’s love
for their parents... and the power of love among family members.
Every week, a different individual's story is told. There's Kelvin
Tan Wei Lian, who became Singapore’s first Project Superstar in an inspirational
busker-to-star transformation. There's Lim Ah Lee, an amputee with leprosy.
Abandoned by his mother at just ten years of age, he later became a fine arts
artist. There's Julie and David, a couple who were unable to have sex and have a
baby for many years before a happy miracle arised. There's Abigail Chay, who
bravely endured criticism to listen to her inner voice and become a woman.
Be touched. Be inspired.
(this is an adaptation of the above series it is purely fictional, and
we applaud the remarkable souls above mentioned and really admire their
perseverance)
Episode 6929 Michael Shen Xuan RongMichael Shen, who became Singapore’s first 7-inch idol in an inspirational bus(t Loo)ker-to-star transformation.
Our story begins like most other stories, with an “F”, For FiretrUCK, no really fertilization, without which many of our world leaders would not be present currently, with the exception of Anakin skywalker who was immaculately conceived by the force.
The sperm donor in this case was assumed to be mr shen and the egg was donated by mrs shen, hopefully. And thus on the 32nd of September, Michael Shen was born. Michael was born with many disabilities, at the tender age of 2 he lost 7 out of 12 toes to a paper cutting incident. 2 years later he was diagnosed with ED, and at the age of 5 he had lost the ability to use both eyes, because of a minor incident where he had apparently peeped and ogled at several passing women and made suggestive eye gestures, the woman being sympathetic with the 5 year old decided not to report the incident to the police but instead gave sweet little Michael 2 lolly pops which they shoved into his eyes hence causing blindness, as sweet as it may have been
At the age of 8, Michael was misfortunate enough to try cookies cooked by a culinary expert, or so she was perceived, named stephanie Saw, as a result his voice changed going higher, and higher and eventually ultra sound and was declared mute
One year later Michael went deaf, because he came into contact with a young lady, named april cheah who’s mouth runs on nuclear power and moves faster than a Ferrari on the autobahn and a particle accelerator put together, the constant banter and gibberish nearly drove Michael insane and gay, but fortunately before it could he went deaf
Michael was enrolled in the Singapore School for disabled Singaporeans where he was declared to be a mute, whether this was due to his past 7 years of perpetual stoning one can only wonder. At this school Michael rose and defied all odds, he regained the use of his eyes one year into schooling when his friend vividly described to him a blue-rated R21 film which jilted and shocked Michael’s senses, releasing a rush of blood testosterone and a white fluid to the head reattaching his retina and filling his eyes with more virteous humor, (virtually humourous) and he could see, to his pleasure and delight. He regained the use of speech two years into schooling when playing soccer, against his other blind classmates (he eventually scored the winning goal 20 mins into extra time) during the match he slipped on a banana peel and to his shock and delight he swore a 2000 word essay worth of profanities, and so michael could speak once again.
It was at this school where Michael met his first love Jayne, Michael also realized his talent and potential as a guitarist, he learnt quickly and before one could say “fluke-shot” he could play a variety of monotonous tunes and could sing as well as a local celebrity whose name starts with “G” and ends with “Kwee”, who recorded the hit single "lily of the valley", it was then that he found about the annual talentine, his thirst for fame and the drive to prove others wrong led him to join the competition, put off by the lack of attention, jayne told Michael, “just because you can strum a few chords and sing damn jialat, doesn’t mean you can win a talentine” Michael was not discourage, but the discriminating judges could not get past the fact that he was a 6.9 incher.
Michael was disappointed and did not want to ever fulfil his dreams, turning to drugs pimping and illegal vcd selling, he lived the life of a loose cannon, he indeed had a loose cannon. But then it happened he caught a glimpse of a poster for the 7 inch idol, and before one knew it
THE WINNER OF 7 INCH IDOL 2006 IS…
