my 6 weeks of holidays started this week...somehow..i felt a sense of emptiness in me..haha..i think its becos all these months..i have been busy with my school work..projects, reports, test then exams..life is school was stressful and occupied...but now..i've cleared all my work...its like i've got so much time now..no needing to worry abt what projects..what reports..what exams...so..i guess...i'll use this time to let myself settle down and recharge...
anyway...i had a very intesting conversation abt the tremor on tuesday with lydia
lydia: did you feel the tremor?
me: i didn't feel anything..i was having lunch at that time..its shook alot???
lydia: ya..i can feel it so strongly
me: i was too engross eating...can't feel anything perhaps...
lydia: haha
me: oh dear...if there is a real earthquake..i should be dead by now..can't feel anything when i'm eating....
haha...that was my thots then...hehe...funny rite...
ok..now for some reflections...you see during my school days..i was very busy...so i made use of the time in the holidays to watch streaming in videos of the movies i missed...the first was devils wears prada....the reason i like this movie was not only becos of meryl streep, also the story line...she really can act i must say....she is the only one that can par with helen mirren in the oscars for best actress....but her dressing for the academy awards was a little...way out....hehe...
the story line is good as well...i like the way they portray the different aspects and walks of life with different goals..what else better to show that than the ever changing world of fashion....there is no really right or wrong to the choices...its more like the different routes that ppl take in life...miranda choose the high life..the glamourous side...andrea choose the simple side of life...but i guess its all depends on the individual and what they really want...for miranda..she choose her career and the high end of life...but she lose her husbands and a perfect family....andrea choose the simple journalist...but ended up having alot more than she thot..which will you choose???...haha..i guess...i'll take the in between..its much better that way isn't it...you'll get the best of both worlds..haha..typical libra i must say...
the other movie is the mistress of spices..i must say..not alot of ppl around me mention abt this movie..but i must say..its really good...just like pride and prejudice...its is by the same female lead afterall...the world's most beautiful woman...i must say...her eyes are really beautiful...and her facial features gave you a feeling of the east mixing the west..very sophiscated...and beautiful...the story is nice...a little about the current world of the tradition clashing with modern world...and a little magic...so...its really made it very nicely...very well done i must say...of course...for her...she got the best of both at the end of the story...she manage to keep her roots...and accepted a new life at the contemporary world...but for the others...is it that easy...????
singapore is a country that has been a melting pot of the east and the west cultures...but how much of the roots do we singaporeans really have...singapore to start off with is a young country...all of our roots came from our ancestors that travelled from other parts of the world...and settled here....youngsters nowadays...how much do they know about their own traditions....i guess...not alot...except that angbaos for CNY...mooncake for mooncake festival...etc...but do they really know their roots...sometimes..i think malays and indians are much better at keeping the traditions than us chinese....most of my classmates dun really know their roots...i mean..in some ways...we are forgetting the legacies that our ancestors left behind...the beautiful words and poems...all those...i guess its pathetic...no offence to my classmates...i think on the whole..this is wat that is happening to singaporeans especially the young ones....we are a young country still waiting to develop our own kind of culture and bring it to the mature state....so alot of the time..we rely on our parents or grandparents to impart the culture of the old times to us....but i guess...alot of of those things simply went down the drain under the effects of the modern trends....i guess...its time to do something...but still..who am i to say all these....i guess...i'm a little better off at this than alot of ppl of my age group...
ok..thats all for today...tataz..
p.s. i guess...youngsters now only have the problem of the keeping the traditions...but also facing the future world...the current affairs of the world...haiz...i'll tok abt this again....
