From TODAY's paper, pg50:
....Professional Attention Seeker Steven Lim, infamous for his stripping to his yellow Speedos at 2004 SG Idols auditions, is about to embark on a new career as a singer!
...On wed, the 29-year old street eyebrow stylist signed a contract with businessman Cedric Soh. Under the agreement, Steven will be groomed into a pop star!
- no record company has expressed any interest yet.
.."I want to be taken seriously as an artist," he declared solemnly. "I want to turn over a new leaf"
...Now he hopes "people will give me a 2nd chance".
...His benefactor Soh will apparently invest $100,000 in debut album slated for release in the middle of this year.
..."I am happy someone has finally seen something in me and has faih in my talents"

Extracted from his web site.....seem like he kena conned....
Just came back from China Guangzhou a few days ago, just came out from an early morning shower. It was an extraordinary experience for me, not only for a supposedly all expenses covered learning trip, it was also my first time taking a commercial plane for tour n checking out from the custom. I felt excited. It was a decade ago when I took a commercial plane to Taiwan, Thailand n Brunei for National Service Infantry training. All I know the feeling was great! Jet Star Asia budget Air was excellent! Unbelievable but true! The plane looks new and the service was excellent, n the girls will not lose out to Singapore Airline Stewardess. N for a ten dollar more, u get a sumptuous meal n a drink. A few unhappy incidents arose in China. Contract says I will not be paid salaries for three months training, but I was promised air ticket, food, lodging n transportation in overseas trip. My boss, Mr. Cedric Soh, told me no need bring money. Firstly I was unhappy I have to pay for the SIN$600 in advance for the company for the contract signing ceremony held on 4th January at Kbox function room which my direct boss was actually the one who thought of holding the event in that particular room. He threw all expenses n booking on me at the very last min after I told him I already invited the media. He promised to pay me the following day with his friend n my brother as witnesses but on the next day, he said I could only claim it back on 15th Feb according to the contract. Wat the?! Secondly, after signing the contract, I realized that my boss uses the name of the other Singapore Registered company owned by his friend n tagged himself as its admin manager to sign the contract with me. I verified with his friend whether my boss is really his company's admin manager, n he says no n I recorded his statements. Without his friend's knowledge, my boss even mentioned about my salary n decided on his friend's company profit sharing ratio with me. The company does not belongs to him! I was shocked. Thirdly, during one dim sum breakfast with my boss, he intentionally left the table n ask me to foot the bill first. This is not the first time. Before signing the contract in Singapore, my boss n his friend intentionally dashed out of the taxi n left me to pay the taxi fare twice using the same method, n I swore that I see them hee hee hee at the corner. A big boss resorted to this kind of tactics?! Disappointing, man! Fourthly, during the whole trip, I felt that I was not treated right. He asks me to carry his bag n his travel luggage most of the time which he claims that it was to train my tolerance. He threw peanuts n toothpicks at my face. He also attempted to slam a swinging glass aluminum door at me by purposely swinging it back really hard. Fortunately, I managed to block it with my legs. (There was even a sign saying beware of swinging door!) Wat was he thinking? He was remarked by his friend on the spot. For some particular reason, I reserve my rights to report the case to the police. Fifthly, maybe due to some cork up or last min thingy, the boss left me all alone in Macau where he flew to Thailand, where no arrangements had been made for me yet. I was literally stranded with my luggage. He expected me to sleep in Macau International airport for the night where either he will try to solve my accommodation in Macau or help me book an air ticket to Kuala Lumpur then take a coach back to Singapore. I felt that I was being mistreated n have a row with him over the phone, n I told him I m going to take the 245am flight to Kuala Lumpur n he says it was ok. An additional SIN$400 including the coach/ taxi back to Singapore which my boss have not reimbursed me yet. Total= more than SIN$1000 have not claimed back. The question is if my boss asked me to pay for expenses for eg. $10,000 in advance n can only claim back on the 15th next month, do I have to do so as well??? Will you do so? The issue is my boss suppose to sponsor $100,000 for me to cut music album, n he could not even help me promptly reimburse this kind of company related expenses. How could I trust him to sponsor me the album? Now my future is once again dark n uncertain. Damn it! But I felt that my boss only did one thing that is pretty convincing. I recorded two songs in a recording studio n he paid for the master CD n the cover design. I really do not know what is in his mind. God/ Alamak, please guide me! If he is really sincere n show me that he could fork out the money for me to cut the album, I can treat it as nothing happen. Anyone who have any good advises for me pls email me. I m emailing this blog entry to Mr. Cedric Soh for his reference/ feedback as I believe in justice.
