slack

Oops...didn't even realise that I didn't post yesterday. Seriously , my memory is failing me.
I am starting to forget even the most common things. Like there is art on Friday and assembly on Wednesdays. Imagine what would happen in like ten years time. Can't even remember which key is for which lock! Oh no...that sounds scary. Now lets get away from that horrid idea.
Today had assembly. There was this talk and video about cyber wellness. It was quite enriching though and the video was nice , for me at least. The video almost exactly depicts the lifestyle of those gaming addicts and at times , it was funny. Truly enough , I appreciate movies made in Singapore rather than those from other countries except if they are really nice. As Singapore made movies really shows you Singaporeans act. Take 881 for an example. The 7th month 'getai' was the main idea. Foreign shows would not have anything like that. So , watching a local movie will let you have that home feel. The feeling like it is somehow closer to you which makes you understand and appreciate the movie more.

One really good example is Jack Neo and his team. The J team. From his 8 o'clock variety show to his movies on the big screen. Singaporeans love it. Because there is a certain originality and it is local. Jack Neo understand what Singaporeans like. That's why almost all his show is such a great success in Singapore. I think it's the same for the other countries. They can't seem to really appreciate the shows in Singapore. One example is 881 , again. It was nominated for a award. i think it's the Emmy awards or oscar...Sorry...I don't remember. But it was a foreign award ceremony. I believe , if it was in Singapore , it had a chance of winning. A high chance. But in foreign countries , we can't. They don't even know Singapore culture. Not even the 7th month of the lunar calendar. So how could they possibly know about 'getai' , the main point of the whole movie.

I personally think Singapore need to start filming and producing some films like 'SAW' , 'Epic Movie' or at least something that the most parts of the world appreciate. But seriously , i think Singapore's creativity is quite limited. I am not speaking blindly. Judging from the drama on TV and local movies...it's always those few same story lines. And local horror/ghost movies suck. Take the movie 'Men In White' for example. It was a total letdown.

Talking about Singapore filming movies like 'SAW' in Singapore. It's impossible. The laws are too strict in Singapore. For those people that watched 'Ah Long PTE LTD'. I hope you noticed that it was shot in Malaysia. Reason being is that it was too violent. I don't know if it is true but that was what I heard. Come on Government. A rated PG show can't even be filmed in Singapore. How can we make it big in the entertainment industry.

Strict laws everywhere in Singapore. Spitting or littering can result in a fine of at least $500 or $1000. But now what. Crazy mind on the loose. Mas selamat bin kastari or whatever the name is is now on the loose , putting all our lives in jeopardy. And today's morning speech by Mr Ng was truly interesting and meaningful. It takes a great mind to prepare such a speech and to be read out in front of at least 1000++ students.

Good things and bad things happened today. Don't wish to elaborate on the bad things. Just forgive and forget. And yes , i don't understand why but time seems to be passing very slowly. Or maybe its just me. My usual energy level for a whole day last time seems to be only enough for maybe , just half a day now. Am I getting weaker or is the weather that makes me wanna sleep. Now , I can't even seem to bring myself to complete just some simple assignments. And English iconnexion is hard. I don't seem to understand.

A great accomplishment. I think this was my longest post ever. Yes it is and I am talking like a critic. Damn it. I don't know what has gotten into me today.Maybe I was sub-possessed by Steven Spielberg or Stephen King. HaHa...starting to get lame and stupid. Hope you guys enjoyed this post. See You!
