If you asked me what I've been doing for the past one week after my return from Genting, I will tell you I've found a new boyband group- 棒棒堂 !

Manz! They are one talented group!

It all started from this show called 模范棒棒堂 founded by Taiwan's Channel V. Hosted by Fan Weiqi, she leads the show with 15-20 other boys aged from 14-24. These boys are selected out of thousands other applicants, due to their individual personalities and talents. From dancing, to singing, imitation, games, etc etc, they have it all. Have really earned my respect. They made me realised how timid and small the guys in Singapore are. They are willing to express their emotions on screen. We here do not even dare to cry in front of our friends. What's wrong? I concluded that it's due to culture difference, but I would say being yourself is always the most couragous thing to do. We always hide ourselves behind many masks. Even celebrities. Look at all our local celebrities. They are all so glamourous, so attractive and captivating, but that's about it. Nothing special, unique or distinguisable from the rest. Look at those overseas, or let's say the nearest, Taiwan's. Each of them carries their own character. No need for all to be glamourous and bright. They are them themselves and that's what makes them stand out and popular.

And the guys in the show need to be able to withstand fallbacks because they have segments where a member is eliminated from the show every quarter. Having to face the humiliation and critics from the public is already enough, and most of them are students, which makes it even more unbearable for their age. But all of them got through it. You've got my support guys! In fact, I think Singapore should buy this show and air it on our local television. A really inspirating story!

Oh well, let me share with you some of their acts before anything else! Enjoy!
