Vivian Lee - Perhaps It’s Time To End My Meaningless Struggle Once All
The News:
PETALING JAYA: Vivian Lee, one half of the controversial sex blogging duo Alvivi, has appeared in a video which abruptly ends with a scene showing her "slashing her wrist."
(Vivian Lie, seorang bloger yang memiliki blog seksual yang menimbulkan kontroversi bersama-sama dengan kawannya Alvin tampak di sebuah video yang dengan tiba-tiba menunjukan dia sedang menyayat lengannya)
Entitled “Regret,” the video was posted on their Twitter account Thursday evening. The video was uploaded on YouTube yesterday
Diberi judul "Penyesalan", video ini ditayangkan di akun Twitter mereka pada hari Kamis malam dan ditayangkan di YouTube kemarin)
In the two-minute clip, directed by boyfriend Alvin Tan, Vivian, 24, who displayed heartfelt emotions, looks back on her choices that had brought her to this juncture of her life.
Video berdurasi 2 menit ini disutradarai oleh pacarnya bernama Alvin Tan. Alvian yang berumur 24 tahun menunjukan emosi yang mendalam. Dia melihat ke belakang, ke pilihan-pilihan hidup dalam titik-titik balik kehidupannya)
"When I was a child people told me to pursue my dreams, believe in yourself, find your own voice. Back then, everything was simple,” she said.
(Pada saat saya anak-anak, orang-orang mengatakan pada saya, kejarlah impianmu, percaya pada dirimu sendiri, cari dan temukan keinginanmu. Masa-masa itu adalah masa-masa yang sederhana untuk saya)
“As I grow, people say get real, choose stability, Don’t speak out too much. Yet I was idealistic. I choose uncertainty. And I spoke out too often and too loudly. That everyone even started to feel proud of hating me.
(Saya bertumbuh dan orang-orang berkata hadapilah kenyataan, pilihlah stabilitas hidup, jangan berkata terlalu berbeda dengan masyarakat, namun saya masih seorang yang idealis. Kadang saya berbicara terlalu keras dan cepat. itulah masa di mana orang-orang merasa puas jika membenci saya)
“I think it’s hard being an adult. When I follow my heart, everyone tells me that I’m wrong. I’m bad and I’m worthless.
(Saya pikir, hidup menjadi orang dewasa adalah hidup yang keras. Pada saat saya mengikuti isi hati saya maka semua orang berkata saya salah, saya buruk dan saya tidak berharga)
“Even my loved ones refuse to love me anymore. All because I challenged their ideas of an ideal me. All because I chose a life path that was uniquely mine.
(Bahkan orang yang mengasihi saya menolak saya. Semua terjadi karena saya menantang pemikiran mereka menganai apa yang baik untuk saya. Semua terjadi karena saya memilih jalan yang berbeda)
“Sometimes I wonder if doing the right thing is the right thing to do. Honestly I’m tired. They’ve triumphed. I’ve lost. I’ve given up to listening to my inner voice. And they can all gleefully celebrate. To me, a life scripted by others is not even worth living,” said a teary-eyed Vivian seen sitting on a sofa watching television.
(Kadang saya berpikir, apakah melakukan hal yang benar adalah hal yang benar. Sejujurnya saya lelah. Mereka menang, saya kalah. Saya menyerah mendengarkan suara-suara dalam diri saya sendiri. Mereka berbahagia mendengar itu. Namun bagi saya, kehidupan yang ditentukan oleh orang lain adalah kehidupan yang tiada artinya. Itulah yang dikatakan oleh Vivian sambil duduk di sofa menonton televisi)
“Perhaps it’s time to end my meaningless struggle once and for all. Just one quick stroke,” she said.
(Mungkin ini adalah watu yang tepat untuk menghentikan perjuangan hidup saya yang tiada berarti. Hanya dengan satu sayatan saja ujarnya.)
The video ends with a shot of Vivian making a slashing motion across her wrist with a knife before the screen goes blank.
(Dalam video itu tampak Vivian menyayat pergelangan tangannya sebelum layar menjadi gelap)
Attempts to contact the duo were unsuccessful.
(Upaya yang dilakukan untuk menghubungi Vivian tidak berhasil)
The duo attracted attention when they released a video of their sex escapade which led to Alvin being dismissed from his law studies by the university in Singapore.
(Mereka berdua menjadi perhatian pada saat mengeluarkan video mengenai kehidupan seksual mereka yang menarik di mana Alvin diberhentikan dari program beasiswa hukum di Singapore)

Commentary:
For some people who interesting with the turmoil of asian young generation nowadays, maybe you remember about a girl who names Vivian Lee and her boy friend Alvin Tan.
(Untuk beberapa orang yang tertarik ada kegelisahan dari generasi muda asia saat ini mungkin kamu ingat pada seorang gadis bernama Vivian Lee dan pacarnya Alvin Tan)
I saw them two years ago and felt that their sound was a description of many asian generation. They are progressive and just telling us the truth but many people are not comfort with theirs.
(Saya melihatnya kurang lbih 2 tahun lalu dan merasa bahwa apa yang mereka gambarkan mengenai generasi muda asia adalah tepat. Mereka berpikiran maju dan dan hanya mengatakan kepada kita apa yang sebenernya terjadi namun sayangnya banyak yang merasa tidak nyaman dengan kebenaran itu)
How about you Guys?
(Bagaimana menurutmu Om?)
Spoiler for Good Words...:

Hahahaha...
We should encourage them, period.
Instead of forging them, as if they were some kind of metal to be mold, we need to nurture them to grow freely as their mentor. Let nature be their guidance. I believe that every bizarre leaf grow out of a plant. At the end it will face toward the sun.
I remember one part of song lyric that sung by Whitney Huston:
I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
As for Vox Pipuli,
I lived in US for quite sometime (still Indonesian tho), I've seen how a democracy is well versed. Not the best, but one of the nation who have adopted it better than anybody else. Where the voice of people are literally can challenge the government on daily basis.
How about Asia today?
Good question bud,
Asian has been a society that apply myriad of thick cultural ethics to promote high moral standard. Jokingly, to define Asian, is a culture that put Honor way above your life and soul excessively
Straight talk and deliverance of information are seen with cautious eye, rather, one needs to enlarge his understanding to read other symbolic language. Because it will be a big threat to the harmony of Asian culture itself.
Younger generations are tired of these ethics that bind their free soul. They wanted to draw attention as to be seen as somebody instead of generic one.
As an Asian parent living in United States, I also face this prickly situation. I was a free spirit once, but yet I am trying to put a fear of God to my children and pump them to be proud as Asian rather than be a generic one as Asian American.
Tabik,

Thank you for your kindly vote of confidence buddy.
I have a daughter 12 years and both of us love to shoot firearm.
Indeed, Asians today have to dilute the cultural standard so they are not too stiff. What's the best thing as an Asian among the world, is that we Asians are used to think way ahead. We think more elaborate meanings.
As I have said, in Southern California, Asian kids are among 5% on top of every western educational standard. The thing is, as we have discussed before, these talent was overshadowed by myriad of cultural tentacles to be achieved. An ancestral dream for their offspring's.
I also believe to freedom of expression, no matter how absurd it will be. To me it's a learning curve. Although society will bestow a bitter accomplishment to their expression.
A wise quote to many of us in this particular thread is :
"He who is immaculate from sins, may cast the first stone"
We can lay our finger in disagreeing to them couple by calling them names. But we as well, are not clean from the very same guilty-thought as they are.

Ah... sista ?
I was just reading from your postings earlier. I admire your questions, questions that are painted upon tradition and culture that bound those young souls. This is the reason of why I mentioned about coloring black and white.
I believe that if you didn't have one, then you shouldn't suggest Vivian to chase another dream, am I not?
Vivian and her boyfriend are young adult, both of them have more than 20 years and by law are legal to do their behaviors. They do need to seek their own path.
I agree to you that a guardian was needed, if the said couples were not yet passing their puberty.
I understand sometime wisdom must come with big grains of salt. As you grow wiser later, you could see them with different light and perspective.
As an engineer, I was trained to follow what the text book and theory suggests. But on the other hand I was challenged to find a new enhancement trough breaking the manifesto of theories and dictum.
If I don't cross that barrier, I can not see at the other end, aren't I?
But you are right, at least Vivian et all do need a patron.
To me this patron (whatever they are) only serves as a suggestion and not as a set of stern rules that need to be submitted to the dot.
Yes, to us Asians sex is sacred. Why is it sacred? because we've been told to do so.
We've been told to make a thin layer to differentiate between those opposite ones. Example: hate and love, right and wrong, a hero and a butcher, further more to define - "a must do" and "a must not". But basically at the end, it does not make any different at all.
You are good tho... don't get me wrong !

Dear sista....
In life, there are no absolutism. Nor black or white per se.
Life is about compromise, a "grey area" so to speak. For life it self is nothing than to seek the path of one's journey to the end.
From the Birth (Alpha) to the End (Omega), there shall be gazillions of compromises. That, my sista, is called LIFE !
A soul's journey through time. As a wise man have said"
"Yesterday is History, Today is Present, Tomorrow is a Mystery.
But today is a gift, that's why it is called the "Present".
I admire your point to put sex as a sacred act. A value of procreation. whilst other sees as a resort of self-entertainment to pursue joy. Both of them are correct, none of them are wrong.
Thy shalt not imprisoned thyself with a weary entanglement of "do" and "don't". ( my own word by The Tick)
