the book sale was actually held inside the F&N headquarters and it was in a ICE CREAM PARLOR!
It was decorated in old school American 50s style with Elvis and Marilyn as posters and red vinyl chairs and those record playing machines. okay, it was CDs instead. but it had a realllllly nice feel to it.
it was a sale of unwanted assessment bks and kia-su parents easily bought 4 years worth of assessment bks for their kids. i am glad i am not their kids.
and when (and if)i am a parent, i absolutely WILL NOT buy textbooks for my kids.
i think sch work is (bad) enough. HAHA.
then, we dug around for ice cream, it IS a ice cream parlor after all, and i found a strawbeerry cone which is not being sold in Singapore. it tasted yummmy!
in the course of work, got to know some MOE people and we started discussing about blogs and young people, blogs and dairy.
i suppose most of the blogs they seen r something like mine, just blogging about mundane things, stuff that made up my life. then they asked, so whats the use in letting the public know ur nitty gritty abt ur life? that i can i provided a decent ans. that it is an avenue where u can do catch up with ur friends' life esp when u haf no time to catch up in real life. its USEFUL!
then she commented abt why r young people doing putting their most intimate
pictures/videos of themselves... on the public domain? this, i haf no idea. i haf no idea why people r exhibitionists. i am a no pyschologist.
i also unfortunately have no idea how come young primary kids r exposed to nc 16 stuff and r actually following it without knowing what they r doing.
i would think that the blame if any, lies in the parental supervision more than the media. media is just doing its job! providing entertainment to its target audience. with censorship already in place. but if some1 other than target audience watches, how is it suppose to prevent tht?
by not showing at all? its rubbish lor. then u r not looking after some other consumer segment.
in short. i am just against people who totally blame the media environment. because , dont u realize? hafnt u realize?, in this shrinking global world, every1 has a part to play.
oh, and some MP's daughter's blog was shut down due to some backlash she received over personal comments she made regarding some remotely political issues.
oMG.there is no freedom of speeach or even ideas.=(
that y i stick to mundane blogging abt useless stuff.=)
