excerpts from an article in 8 days (week starting july 19, page 28)..


.. what's worrying is that all these so-called 'favourite' words can be found in fairy tales (usually) read by six-year-olds. We have intellectual myopia; more commonly known as 'jiak buay dua' (refuse to grow up). We're a sheltered and naive people and we don't know it. And we're contented with the lexicon of a kindergarten class. Correct or not?

How do i know this, you ask? i know 30-year-old, act-cute women who still refer themwelves as 'Little Princesses', collect Precious Moments ceramic dolls and believe Harry Potter is the greatest movie franchise ever. That's a grown man riding a broomstick and casting spells with a twig hor..


after reading this article, i can't help but ask myself, can i ever write something like that? this article made me laughed alright. it's funny in a way that it's close to singaporean's everyday life. 30-year-olds, act cute women, calling themselves 'Little Princesses'? don't tell me you have NEVER come across one. the way the writer express how frustrated he is with our society is so hilarious. you all should read the full article, then would you be able to understand regarding the 'favourte' words part. haha.

alright. so days have been kinda boring these days. ever since school started, sleep is never enough. played soccer in church on sunday, realised my stamina is no where to be found. i really need to get my lungs to work again. they arent responding to me. i was panting like a dog during the soccer session. i was half-dead. i really need some fitness regime or smth.

so about today, watched Harry Potter with yiye, zhiwei and shaoyu today. it was nice, but alot of things was cut from the movie. well, im fine with it, i read the book anyway. but for people that doesn't follow the story, they would be lost. the movie proceeded very fast. too fst for anyone to register what happened before. 2hrs is never enough for a Harry Potter film. why can Titanic survive 3hrs and not Harry Potter? don't get it. even Pearl Harbour took 3hrs. come on. do you really need 3hrs to bomb a stupid naval base?

to me, the most exciting part of the movie is the part where dumbledore fought voldemort. nice animations and all. funniest moments? haha. every part when dolores umbridge is not in control. she only proves that the quote 'never judge a book by it's cover' is right. she may look harmless to you, but when she passes someone a pen, you're a dead man. not bad a movie afterall. if you are intending to watch the next film, better watch this one, or else you would be so lost, GPS wouldn't work for you. NOT FUNNY.
