This is a scenario I never, ever wanted to see happen. Fiona Xie doing a “Mas Selamat” (according to some of my friends) by pulling out from the year-end blockbuster drama “Together” at the 11th hour last Wednesday, and then going overseas to “attend to personal matters”. Whatever the reasons for her pulling out may be, she is simply making matters worse by running away without a proper explanation. What a huge shame indeed... surely she should know that running away won't solve anything?

I may not know Fiona very well in spite of the 2.5 years of going for her events and taking picture with her a few times, I did get a rough idea of her off-screen character at one point of time. I do remember the other time when I worked with her and a few others for “Calefare” last August, I could somehow see that she doesn’t seem very passionate with what she’s doing, she seemed to lack focus in the job, and quite often she was seen chatting on the phone for minutes before filming began. No wonder my mum and her colleague think that she's rather snob. I left the fanclub for good sometime after my stint as calefare, not just because of this few encounters, but also due to sheer pressure from ONE of the committee members who was trying to keep me within the FC (damn you, EY!!!). But even so, I still went for some of her events whenever I can...
Although I wasn't a big fan of Fiona, I was nonetheless quite affected by this recent news. In fact, I may find it rather hard to forgive Fiona for this action (even if it's nowhere near Chris Benoit standards). You may call me cold-blooded all you like, but I personally feel that what she did was unethical, irresponsible and totally unprofessional. I mean come on, she is 27 years old, not 7! She should know better than to "just up and run away"... that this decision she made could lead to a serious breach of contract. Even though she has left a very bad impression on all of us MediaCorp fans, I simply hope that someday she would come out of hiding and bear full responsibility for her own actions.
I got one more thing to add... I COULD have chosen to write to 8 days on my thoughts abt Fiona's withdrawal-cum-MIA... but I did some consideration and decided not to do it, feeling that my proposed letter wouldnt solve anything, it would only serve to hurt Fiona's reputation even more as well as her fans (esp since I know some of them). Still, her offence is no different from the several MIA stints I had seen in school or in NS, even at work.
With that, I dedicate this MJ song (complete with those unavoidable 'vocal hiccups') to Fiona Xie Wan You... as well as to anyone who have been greatly affected by this controversy, one way or another. I apologise if I have been rather harsh on Fiona here... but I can't just sit down and keep my peace, esp since she had committed a very serious offence.
MICHAEL JACKSON- Who Is It
Written and composed by Michael Jackson
Featured in the studio album "Dangerous"
I Gave Her Money, I Gave Her Time
I Gave Her Everything Inside One Heart Could Find
I Gave Her Passion, My Very Soul
I Gave Her Promises And Secrets So Untold
And She Promised Me Forever
And A Day We'd Live As One
We Made Our Vows We'd Live A Life Anew
And She Promised Me In Secret
That She'd Love Me For All Time
It's A Promise So Untrue
Tell Me What Will I Do?
Chorus 1
And It Doesn't Seem To Matter
And It Doesn't Seem Right
'Cause The Will Has Brought No Fortune
Still I Cry Alone At Night
Don't You Judge Of My Composure
'Cause I'm Lying To Myself
And The Reason Why She Left Me
Did She Find In Someone Else?
(Who Is It?) It Is A Friend Of Mine...
(Who Is It?) Is It My Brother!
(Who Is It?) Somebody Hurt My Soul Now
(Who Is It?) I Can't Take This Stuff No More!
I Am The Damned, I Am The Dead
I Am The Agony Inside The Dying Head
This Is Injustice, Woe Unto Thee
I Pray This Punishment Would Have Mercy On Me
And She Promised Me Forever
That We'd Live Our Life As One
We Made Our Vows We'd Live A Love So True
It Seems That She Has Left Me
For Such Reasons Unexplained
I Need To Find The Truth
But See What Will I Do!
Chorus 2
And It Doesn't Seem To Matter
And It Doesn't Seem Right
'Cause The Will Has Brought No Fortune
Still I Cry Alone At Night
Don't You Judge Of My Composure
'Cause I'm Bothered Everyday
And She Didn't Leave A Letter
She Just Up And Ran Away
(Who Is It?) It Is A Friend Of Mine...
(Who Is It?) Is It My Brother!
(Who Is It?) Somebody Hurt My Soul Now
(Who Is It?) I Can't Take It 'Cause I'm Lonely!
Hee hee... hee hee...
Don't try to make me... don't try to make me quit
I never was... we never were... it just won't stop
Don't bother me... don't bother me
(Who Is It?) It Is Friend Of Mine
(Who Is It?) To Me I'm Bothered!
(Who Is It?) Somebody Hurt My Soul Now
(Who Is It?) I Can't Take It 'Cause I'm Lonely!
And It Doesn't Seem To Matter (Hee hee!)
And It Doesn't Seen Right (Hee hee!)
'Cause The Will Has Brought No Fortune
Still I Cry Alone At Night
Don't You Judge Of My Composure (Buddy!)
'Cause I'm Lying To Myself
And The Reason Why She Left Me
Did She Find Someone Else?
And It Doesn't Seem To Matter (don't bother me!)
And It Doesn't Seem Right (you just did it!)
'Cause The Will Has Brought No Fortune (da dap, da dap)
Still I Cry Alone At Night (Saint of the nothing but the)
