Poor Teddy: A Sweet Surprise on Bishan Road
Picture this: a giant teddy bear, gagged and bound, hitching a ride on the back of a motorcycle. On September 11, a couple stumbled upon this plushy’s unfortunate passenger, and right off the bat, Stomp’s own Cy couldn’t help but laugh.
The Great Abduction?
Cy went on to say the bear looked like it had been abducted—not just by a biker, but by the entire street!
The Pink Sign & TikTok Trend
Attached to the zebra‑strapped cargo was a pink banner flashing a QR code, and beneath it, the Chinese lyrics of a viral “barbecue” track. For those who scroll through TikTok, it’s the quintessential “done and grilled” anthem.
Who’s Got a Photo?
Cy, in his signature comedic flair, shared a snap with the caption:
“Just sending it in because we thought it was hilarious, especially with the ‘barbecue’ TikTokers.”
- Animated streaming scenes.
- Quick reactions.
- Instant trending.
The One‑Size‑Doesn’t‑Loose Problem
From the careful observation, it seemed the poor bear had both been tied up and plastered—as if someone mistakenly swapped a cozy fur blanket for a circus act.
So, next time you’re taking the back seat on a motorcycle, keep an eye out—you might just spot a plush adventure you’ll never forget.
The Curious Case of the Abducted Bear
Have you ever wondered why a bear ends up getting abducted? It all starts with a QR code that takes you straight to the Heartbreak Melt Ice Cream Café in Ang Mo Kio.
Meet the Café’s Co‑Owners
- Goh Yong Wei – a local entrepreneur who once snagged attention on Stomp in 2017 for his creative slide deck that won over a funeral undertaker.
- Mabel Yee – the other half of the duo, known for her quick wit and love of ice cream.
What Happened?
It turns out the bear’s “capture” was no sinister plot; it was simply riding along on the motorcycle of the café’s GrabFood delivery rider – who, turns out, is Goh Yong Wei himself!
When asked for more details, Yong Wei suggested reaching out to Mabel for a “save‑Teddy” plan.
Hostage Negotiation? More Like a Sweet Negotiation
The very next moment, Mabel took to the mic (and the meme‑filled comment section) and declared the bear was being “punished” for devouring too much of their creamy delights. Then she chuckled, “Nah, just kidding.”
She also added a safety note: the bear ends up on his bike to keep everyone—and the bear—out of trouble.
The Backstory of the Bear’s Ride
Back in 2020, Yong Wei was dealing with a streak of misfortunes – one crash a month until a head‑on collision on September 15 that shattered his right arm, leaving him with a broken ‘chicken‑wing’ hand. The bandy song on the café’s sign? Pure inside humor, nodding to that debris‑heavy accident.
All in Good Fun!
So, no terrifying hostage drama here. It’s just a heartwarming, slightly absurd love story between a café, a bear, and the folks who make sure every spoonful of ice cream is savored safely. Enjoy the tale—and the treats!
Why 4444 Just Won’t Cut It
Picture this: you’re cruising down the highway on your motorcycle, and the license plate screams, “4444”. It’s cute at first, but over time, it starts feeling like a permanent “dude, you’re stuck in the 2010s” sign.
Reasons He Should Swap It Out
- Repetitive Numbers Are Vibes – Everyone loves a little variety. 4444 is so mundane, it’s practically begging for a makeover.
- It Sounds Like a Secret Shout – No one has the knack for noticing that plate. Some people actually think it’s a hidden message.
- Neighbors Will Start Playful Jokes – “Whoa, Spectrum’s 2019 listening party!”—they’ll be calling it over!
- Future Police Stops Will Be a Comedy Gold. – When the cop asks “Where’s the license?” you can’t help but grin.
So, What’s the New Plate Should Look Like?
Think of something personal or quirky—perhaps a combination of favorite sports team numbers, a pop culture reference, or just a new twist on the old four‑digit charm.
Why that “puny puny” teddy bear matters
Apparently, after the hit-and-run incident, Yong Wei was riding with a “puny puny” teddy bear tucked behind his motorcycle. Not only was it adorable, but it served as a playlist of hope amid the investigation. “So it’s still under investigation,” she told Stomp, signifying that a jolly bear might still be your best friend—there’s something mystically comforting about having a stuffed toy trooper in your rear‑view.
In summary, swapping out the 4444 plate might just sort of upgrade your ride game while steering away from the traffic police’s “super‑bored” stare. And remember, that little teddy bear could turn out to be your most important mini‑sidekick—all in good fun and family style.

How Tiny Teddy Keeps the Big Wheels At Bay
Ever wondered why drivers suddenly slam the brakes when they spot a little plush toy on the road? That’s “Teddy” at work – the cuddly guardian that’s been saving the day on Singapore’s highways.
Yong Wei’s New Best Friend
Since rescuing Teddy in every corner of Singapore, Yong Wei hasn’t had a single serious mishap in the past year — just a few brush‑with‑accidents he pulled out of. Thanks to the sighting of Teddy, every close call has been averted, almost as if the bear is a security blanket for the dreamers on the road.
“Guardian Teddy protects Yong Wei from accidents just like your stuffed blanket keeps you safe from nightmares,” Mabel joked, giving a warm smile.
From Accidents To Ice Cream!
After the 2020 mishap, Mabel and her team dug into new career ideas. In February, they opened a vegan‑friendly ice‑cream café that has quickly become a neighborhood favourite.
Teddy—The Unexpected Marketing Hero
Beyond being a safety sidekick, Teddy now doubles as a quirky marketing tool.
- People love snapping selfies with the teddy, turning every street corner into an impromptu photo‑stop.
- By placing a QR code beside Teddy, the café channels that photo‑traffic straight to the menu.
- It’s like having a furry billboard that steals the spotlight.
“One bear, two stones,” Mabel laughed, hinting that Teddy not only prevents crashes but also brings double benefits—safety and sales.
