Metal Tragedy

Once upon a time, there was a Chinese kid whose parents saved a sum of money and then sent him to Singapore for his studies.

The boy appeared to be a decent, prim and proper kid. After he arrived, he came to live at this hostel pictured here.

He had a room with a large window (not pictured here) and he soon became quite a big fan of heavy metal and hard rock, growing his hair and stuff. He looked nothing like the Chinese boy who first came here.

One day, he started playing his guitar (or perhaps his air guitar) and jumped vigorously on his bed which was right next to the large window. Needless to say, while headbanging or rocking away, he flew off the bed and out of the window.

The heart-broken parents came and claimed his body within the week.

*This was reported in the Chinese papers and there were two photos of the boy. One with his hair intact and one with his heavy metal hairstyle. This tragedy happened some months ago.

V, it is indeed quite senseless. One must surely feel for his poor parents.

Merv, yeah, one really shouldn't. Watch where one jumps. There could be ceiling fans too.

Ari, it is tragic alright.

Colin, yeah, he's a definite candidate. How do you nominate people?
