  • It's touching me very much .

  • Apparently there have been an increase in the number of suicide cases amongst LGBTs each year. Suicidal thoughts should never be the last resort even when you feel that nobody in the world understands you. You'll need someone to talk to. LGBTs are also ordinary human beings. They are born the way they are. The most important thing in life is to be who you are and happiness should be everything. You live for yourself, not others. You may feel like you're alone but in fact you are not. Stay strong

  • OMG this is in AJC!

  • the mother bit too young right?

  • super love this short story! watch it over and over almost 20 over time!! there is not alot of effect and the story seems normal but it is the overall performance that kept me watching

  • wtf gay film?

  • If this is a school project then it is well-made! Chee Keong's acting is good for a new comer. It is very common most teenagers have crush/infatuation. Be it boy/girl or of the same sex. But turning into a stalker is another matter altogether. Unfortunately, at that tender age most react like one! From one good friendship turns sour turns HORROR! Do we blame David? Do we blame that ah kua who wasnt helping at all? Most people cannot take rejection and hence.. Suicide! These people need help...

  • hi, may i noe the title of this song???

  • 9:41-9:45 just overdid it.

  • Nice! Great job. The die really died in real life? Sad..

  • The story at the last part was good. But it wasnt flowing very well. The cinematography wasn't at it's best. If the story is based on a true story, I can't really say anything much. It brings strong message though!

  • This is based on a real life story, so did the guy died?

  • the dialogues could have been better and less corny, with less use of love (as i'm sure a guy don't say love every single day). More subtle words would be better, until the back where he became overtly obsessed then maybe that love word should come out. If used too much, it became too fake. Oh btw, I think it should be 18th birthday? Coz JC 2 people turn 18.. (most anyway). And I hate the fact that it is R21 just because it is homosexual themed.

  • WOW! great man

  • Good storyline. However, I felt that the sound quality and ambience could be better. Good job!

  • singa fuckin pore sux. i hate singaporah!

  • @MsLompang Hell yeah

  • This is beautiful and the story can take place on any continent or among any race of people today. Thank you for all of your efforts help show such a story. It is nice to see the strong friendships the characters have whether at lunch or when they try to intervene with a friend having problems. And plaudets to C.L.C.

  • Comment removed

  • this was very nice plot-wise, much better than what i expected! i was so touched!

  • can anyone tell me the true story of CLC???

    I wanna know

  • LOL when they played the passing fruits with their mouths game.

  • hahahaha

  • why must it be a sad ending. i think there's only a handful singaporean that'll only accept gay... anw. nice film. (:

  • whats so r21 about this show!!!

  • Hais... Well... God isn't that kind to some. But he loves us all the same.

  • love the movie!

    wonderful!

  • its rated as R21 prolly because of the gay love and suicide elements.

  • i was laughing at all of their arguments

  • Comment removed

  • the film is kinda... corny... Though the experience is kinda true.. :D Nonetheless i love this!

  • I watched this video about 3 yrs ago, watched it again now, never felt bored. understood the film and emotions well. I am very touched by this short film and hope to see more of such films. Well done!

  • what a waste of life......

    sadded life. anyone got sleeping pills?

  • It's pretty ok to me. There's a lot of complications for liking a straight guy let me assure you on this aspect. Heard too many stories to last me a lifetime. I think the director was kinda pressed for time(?) but i see the attempt even the effort to capture the defining moments when chee kiong came out to david. But i feel that if given more time, more depth could be given to the individual characters to develope. Anycase a great attempt truly [:

  • so sad.....

    who know this film's song ....

    when the video starting??

  • lol the director is my cousin =)

  • what happen to the CHEE KIONG guy??!! OMG!! SO sad!!!

  • He committed suicide.

  • OMG!!! I cried when i watched dhis especially at the last part . Anyone know dhat one of the actors is my uncle? He's acting as David .

  • ur uncle's hot

  • so sad......................

    i do fall in love with my classmate too.. he is straight. since ever i tell him that i like him.. he also keep away from me. whenever i call/sms, he never get back to me.

  • hey just wanna know is this kinda stuff very common? as in does this stuff happen to be called gay? because i kinda have this feeling in part 8:30 to 9:52 i have this kinda feeling too i have always feel that its just emotional feeling wishing that some 1 could love me care for me or more but is it gay? can some one tell me?

  • good work with a good story line, though I dun really like the sad ending, but it is OK lah

  • it's a great short film story..i love the theme song, by the what's the title of it? thanks

  • i believe this letter are talking about some meaning behide it, as last year when i am in ITE, we also planning to use this title to do a short film but we give up due to man power. and we cant think of anything to make up the storyline due to time also. but this show isit really about Gay love ?? as i saw are about a guys whose like some girl n left a letter to her but in the end the girl die. am i RIGht ?? as i cant remember lor

  • i think there are a few technical errors in the video. it needs proper and thorough checking, especially the audio.

    but overall, good storyline. brilliant

  • good attempt for a short video,it will be great if the cinema language is adopted with technical know how cause the sound spoilt the good visual and distract me as an audience.anyway great job keep up the work..

  • having said that, this short was just another attempt to be controversial, but I could see where the writer was coming from. An ok effort with lots of areas that can be improved.

  • lol i sense so much sarcasm in the recent comments. this is just poorly executed. the producers claim that this was based on a true story but this really didn't do justice to it. this short just screams for your attention and sympathy to the character of the lead with its tragic ending. Alot of jarring technical errors were made in terms of cinematography (yikes, i shouldn't use that word, because there's none) and I know because I was a film student :)

  • Its so sad indeed, especially so when it is a true story in Singapore. I was so touched by it.

  • Congratulations! You deserve a chance at the Cannes Film Festival!

  • a reason why I should not give up on our local media industry. way to go!

  • To leelu69, your comment isn't that nice either. Also, this is the director's first film. Can you even do a film? Its a lot of work.

    If you can, then produce one that is better than this, and not to complain about how this sucks.

    To director, this is a good try. Hope you will improve in your next film, preferably having the subtitles bigger. There's always room for improvement. :)

  • No. there's one guy acting very gay is not the main character, rite?

  • whatever; it's based on a korean movie "the letter" made in 1997.

  • Beautiful life......so appreciate whatever you have at the moment.Ups and downs you'll go through it

  • OMG... is this realli a true story??..

    its pretty gud..

    great job... people shud make more vids about boy and boy relationship

  • There are inconsistencies in the storyline. Certain scenes could be sped up and some lines cut out to make it cleaner. Good for a raw cut then! :) I like the acting of the friends. David the straight boy was effortless. But the lead didn't really work for me. :/

  • Great.More PLs

  • the gay is too gay. over act.

  • haha, it's a tad cheesy but the story is there.

    I really like it.

  • OMG!

    The story is sad.

    Poor thing!

    :'(

    I LOVE GAYS STORY LIKE THAT.

  • Totally agree with most of the viewers here... this show lack of direction... what message are they trying to convey? it lacked in depth.

    it based on a true story n i expect alot more. Actors are pass-able but the sissy simply discriminate gays. Over-acting or shld say not all gays are sissy... Taiwan's gay movie are a class above.

    Music is soothing n moving... great music, Kelvin Fok & Kenny Ong~!

  • The song is the only credit of the whole clip, the storyline sucked

  • stupid enough

  • i love the sissy boy

  • The story is really terrible... it put gays in a very bad light. So what is the purpose of this shortfilm? An artist do a film or a play or any piece of art with a meaning behind it and a purpose. I cant see the meaning in this one. Just a very obsessive gay story which even Channel 8 shows to discourage homosexuality. Is that the purpose of your short film?

  • hmm are you a singaporean? please do not let on this fact? knn, make all singaporeans lose face.

    Read your comment, felt like throwing out my laptop. read first line and i already know what kind of person you are - ill-bred.

    lj your whole comment is an assault on all our sense, with the exception of hearing n touching. please do us a favour - go away.

  • who the song name ,tell me pls.....T_T

  • nice song

  • nice songs!

  • story's weak. need more work...yeah i agree nice techniques..acting was rather ok, not too bad, but some deliveries are rather bad..

  • Very nice.

  • Weak cultural usage and approach...Gd use of techniques though

  • just can say .. chee keong mind haven't grow up yea.....

    but its end ! a stupid idea to killing himself..

  • nice clip.... where's the final cut??

  • hmm... chee keong is rather cute, whatta waste! *SIGH!*

    many thanks for sharing hor.

  • yes, i agree with againstthemachine. story's not fantastic. but lawrence wong is good.

  • The fact is this: When you re a gay teenager, you may seem lonely and alone especially when the object of desire is not similarly inclined. Just give yourself time cos eventually, you ll realise that there s a community out there and there re people who are also gay whom you ll like and will feel the same way about you.

    Suicide is not the answer.

  • Truth is this can happen to anyone who falls in love with someone who does not love him or her in return regardless whether it is of different or same sex

  • I don t agree with what was said about gay love as a forbidden love. It is not; you just got to find the person who feels the same about you.

    I m not here to comment on the effort. The story is a poignant one that many of us growing up gay would have gone through the same emotions. Falling in love with straight and other wrong people is simply part of the process of growing up gay, I guess.

  • If, as claimed, that this is a true story, I really hope that others viewing this will not see this as a way out; especially for those teenagers who think they may be gay.

  • this isnt that good except for the gay guy's acting. and the mom looks way too young. the ending totally sucks. too easy a way out. for both director and story. a deus ex machina. out of 10, i'd give this a 4. almost barely making it.

  • nice songs.

    may i know the singer?

    and the lyrics?

    great show

  • N.I.C.E!

    i like it so much.

  • great i made a short film anyone watching this come check it out on my channel its called persoanal vendetta

  • In my opinion, The directing isn't that good. It doesnt bring out the sadness for the guy and also for the mother. But for the friends, it did brough up some sadness. Also I can't feel the relationship between the 2 boys when they were very close friends. And the acting wasn't that good either. Except for the sissy boy

  • Tragedies like that can be avoided if we all love gay people. Gay people are actually wonderful in many ways and are not 'unwholesome' or unhealthy. ww w(dot)healthywealthysingapore(­dot)blogspot(dot)com

  • touched.

  • this video is very good. but what happened to that guy how did he die?? i couldnt read the letters were too small.

  • he jumped.

  • great songs man

  • Being a PLU myself, I think I can relate to his dilemma. Its so easy to criticize this and that, but imagine putting yourself in his shoes, when everything just falls apart and like the sky has collapsed on u, totally and utterly hopeless, people can do even the craziest things. Try to understand and appreciate the TREMENDOUS sufferings that we as g**s are going through.

  • Cry as much as you can, but please do not end your own life just because of that, not worth it. If you have the courage to do it, why not the courage to face it. Just because of one setback? How to face the rest then?

  • Anybody know the title of the soundtrack?

  • you mean the 2 songs? just click on the story quickbite and you can read more.

  • wow !! thisi i s better than

    ABACUS THE FILM!!

  • This is a nice video..Feelin sads for CK why din the guy do smth abit it when he noe CK love him..

  • To die is easy. But when you die, do you know you are hurting those who are close to you? What would you get? You win? No, you are a loser for not able to face life. If CK is still alive, won't he would be able to find a better person than David instead? Same thing here, a guy can look for a better girlfriend when his ex dump him, right? Why die then?

  • he shouldn't give up his life and left his mother...

  • can't read subs

  • I have to say, knowing and having someone to love and accept you, for who you are is the best remedy. For those who are in the closet, be strong and one day, finding the 1 person you share your life with will come in unexpected ways.

  • I have to commend the whole casts and production crews for this movie. There is a lot of people out there

    thinks CK is foolish, not until you are in his shoe. Think about this, how many straight guys have done foolish things when a gal dump you? Is the same thing. When I was studying in Singapore, I surpress all my feeling till I came to US now, and thank god that I met my love of my life.

  • Watched it again last night. Love the song. Cannot get away with someone who chose to die in such a foolish way, hope to give counsel to this person if he is still alive.

  • urm...... kinda sappy? a tiny bit cliched....but still very sad. it's an accomplishment but it could have been so much more...

  • I get to know about this short film only last night.

    Based on the true story, I think CK is the foolish one. How can he possibly throw out his feeling 100% to someone when he knows there is no outcome in the end.

  • cliched, mediocre.

  • that was good.

  • that was brilliant, well worth spending 25 minutes of ur life watching, well done!!

  • kinda amateur. but it touched me

  • it is amateur, but in what way it touched u? the love of CK toward David?

  • This was way sad, but the engliosh was kinda hard and theres static but other than that Good job!

  • NO COMMENT

  • brilliant. :) it had its slow moments, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • Good film. Too bad we don't se more like it.

  • We failed to realize that there's always other solution and alternatives waiting for us to discover in our life.

    Always remember, is all mind over matters, if u don't mind it doesn't matter.

  • There's no right or wrong answer for this. Is how we look at things and how we perceive things. Many of times we have not learned to see and take things from a different perspective. Therefore, when we encounter any problem that we can't solve, we choose to run away from it instead of seeking help. If we can't run away from it, most probably we just perform our selfish act by leaving our love ones and friends behind and end our lives just like CK in the film.

  • If one have to outcast gay / lesbian, let me just ask you this question, are those criminals all gays and lesbian? If not, aren't those straights criminals worst then gay and lesbian?

  • As for those remarks and comments, well I may be wrong, but I believe for those so call "normal (straight) people" or those so call "abnormal (gays/lesbian) people". There's nothing wrong with us. Each and every one of us lives our life with dignity. We contribute to the world, to our society, to our family, friends and love ones equally. The only difference between these 2 groups of people is their sexual preferences and that is not a crime.

  • After watching the film and read thru all the comments. Although I do agreed that the visual and sound effects of the film wasn't that great. But taken into consideration that this is not a production from those professional like media corps yet, many viewers had shed tears, for the story had touches many of our hearts. Is really hard and good work for sharing CK's story to us in this film. Really appreciate it.

  • ancooorrrrrrr....!!!! wakukakokakauoakakaakka....

  • What can i say, Love is a bitch....

  • where can i download this video clip?

    i would like to back this up

  • that was soooo saaaddddd =[=[=[=[=[=[ T_T

    wish the subtitles were bigger though, couldn't understand everything!

  • this is such bad acting

  • yeah.. same thoughts too! chee kiong's mum is pretty young though..overall it is not bad! keep it up !! singapore production! :)

  • erm the mum of chee kiong abit too young leh...btw is david the guy in starhub ad?

  • I rmb there's a real blog to this true story, with one entry being "aisanahtursisiht", anyone has the link?

  • what format ur using until u can reach 25 minutes of duration?

  • erm... this format was in wmv.. but it's a much lousier quality so the file size is smaller..

  • Great film! Enjoyed it, but there's only one flaw-the revealing of chee keong. If the script can be changed to one that sounds more serious.

    but overall, it's a nice film!

  • Well, in the beginning I actually dun mind gays but... I was traumatised by one when I was 16. And so now I have a phobia about them. I really despise them.

  • ei can u name d song the song is touching my heart whew.....

  • so touching ! crying **

  • Hi! uhm, just wanna ask what were the title of the songs used in this video? can you send those to me, anyone?

  • nightdr3ams u dun be dog la,b@stard...write 1 msg write 2 time,waste my scrollin energy...LJB

  • quite touching....its kinda sad to say that but some how i jus cant accept this kind of thing...it looks totally wrong to me...however...hope tt ck soul can rest in peace...

  • ı cant read subtitle

  • nouveaux if u ever knew david the true life person please tell david

    nightdr3ams.blogspot

  • the movie is very touching but still i cannot watch the end after the boy mom knew he was dead... what happen after that i want to know.....some1 plz tell me....

  • its a pity that david did not accept CK. even if david did not accept CK, david should at least not make CK suffer like that. communicate with CK and talk abot it will do also. CK have suffer much.

  • david if u ever c this i want u to know that if ever someday, someone would love u tat much as CK do appreciate it, don hurt anyone's heart anymore. when u think back loving some 1 is not guilty. if god have have created straight people to love the opposite sexes god will create gays and lesbians to love the same sexes.

    may god bless u to find some1 who love u as much as CK do and may god bless CK soul. rest in peace CK.

  • david if u ever c this i want u to know that if ever someday, someone would love u tat much as CK do appreciate it, don hurt anyone's heart anymore. when u think back loving some 1 is not guilty. if god have have created straight people to love the opposite sexes god will create gays and lesbians to love the same sexes.

  • a wonderful video ... may i noe e song name? thanks

    to love someone and not being love by someone is a torture ...

  • Nice~

    Two Thumbs Up~

    Keep on the Good Work =>

  • Touching theme & beautiful song. More!

    Pre-65

  • i'm gay; i don't remember any of that.

  • there were a LOT of short-film cliches that you could have avoided in this.  keep working at it though, you'll get it

  • Where is the world going to....

  • There is nothing wrong with the world. It is just that the world basically cannot accept anything that is out of the norm. Have you ever spared a thought for those in such groups?

  • the story was nice

  • Someone call themselves normal just because they're straight. So, is it still normal for a straight man beating their wife? Is it still normal for straight men to harbour a fantasy of sleeping with another man?

    All I can say is, please grow up!

    WIth such a thought, and you call yourself normal?!

    Anyway, I don't intend to fire up the childish ranting by those people.

    If you don't understand other people's culture, no one is going to call you an idiot.

  • Sigh. I was merely on the verge of suicide too back then. Same thing happened. It's so sad to recall the pain and misery I suffered. I'm still alive today, big thanks to bunch of supportive friends. They love me so much that I know I couldn't give up on them and my family too. After knowing I'm gay, they try accepting me slowly, I know deep inside my heart. To those stereotype people u isn't as great as us who certainly ARE BRAVE & BEING TRUTHFUL not just to THE WORLD but TO OURSELF!

  • Been a gay for 7 years now... is not easy as I could say. That's life. Fortunately, my parent and family accept me as what I am and who I am. As a gay, we should educate others what is gay all about and not what they seen on TV

  • what could David, his friends and his mother have done differently to prevent him from taking his own life?

  • i love how it depicts the reality of life and the prejudice that homosexuals go thru and the consequence of insensitive remarks and actions against them. being rejected because of sexuality differences is a hell lot worse than heterosexual rejection because the rest of society rejects you as well and you dx receive any support because they do not understand what you r going through.n to use an actor who is not overtly"gay"in his behaviour is very true to real life.

    wonderful film.thumbs up

  • iistarxx, whatever you said is very baseless and just reveals how shallow you are. i don't think it's very fair to make such accusations. especially something like "I know you gays dun care abt what they say.." plus, there's no "right" or "wrong" theme for a film. art is about expression and if you are to say what a film should be, then i gotta throw the question back to you - who are you to define what art is?

  • But do you ever think that you're normal? Try to accept that you are a guy try loving a girl with your heart... That's all I can say.. Aniwae i am not a gay I dun understand you gays.

  • Hahaz man!! Thank God I'm born to be normal and in e ryte body..I like girls hahaz aniwae this film is good but wrong theme. Please be more encouraging towards positive side of the Society.. Gays? I won't judge them it's their life that they wanted to be.. Aniwae ani gays reading this.. Do you ever like a girl b4? Or been rejected by a girl and been hurt badly?? Sit down and think and ask yourself n reflect yourself...I know you gays dun care abt what they say..
