Showered under a sky full of fireworks
Do you know how it feels to be showered under the sky full of fireworks? I experienced that when i went to yishun to watch the finale of the Arts Festival.
Name of show: Crackers
Country: UK
it feels so romantic cuz the fireworks are 360 deg all around you. audiences had to turn their heads around cuz fireworks were everywhere in the sky. This is juz one of the type that is displayed.
在当下有一种很想结婚的冲动。。。
在满天都是烟花的星空下结婚因该很浪漫吧！

randon tv reviews
end of exams. period.
sat infront of the tv in the afternoon from 12 to 3pm today.
watched those channel 5 shows which i actually tot they were craps
from the debbie travis' the painted house to the fashion jury to PCK.
i think they are really great shows! when one is damn free, everything is like treasure.
i duno if i am too bored/emotional or what. while watching fashion jury, tears just welled up in my eyes when the fashion victim had to write a eulogy for herself.
reflecting on her past, to welcome her future.
Guess it was not easy to recall all her tragic past and all - being a single mother/ being the centre of attraction for the wrong kinds of things etc...
i admired her for her courage.
really. those are the people who will make you feel that you are more fortunate a million times
oh! and after watching the painted house, i suddenly felt like doing something artsy. i shall dig out my cross-stitch piece that i havnt touched at all. yes. i shall conquer that.

Thoughts from UK Revision classes
I had picked up some phenomena when I attended the UK revision classes.
1) UK lecturers are most of the time laid-back. They inject humour which is very relevant to the subject in discussion. This makes everything fun and easier to connect to. Local lecturers can't be comparable to them. They are most of the time stressed!!! The only time they joke are times to end class. Superficial? They teach for the sake of teaching? That's our culture for you.
2) Students don't respond when being asked a question. Sometimes, I really do have an urge to just shout out an answer, just to keep the lesson going. It's a waste of time when lecturers have to pause the lesson just to wait for an answer. We pay for these lessons. They arn't cheap! But I am just a typical SG student, I conform. If we are in poly, all of us will fail in our participation mark.
3) From the feedback given by the UK lecturers, students (SG students) don't think. We are so used to route learning that we have lost our common sense. Simple questions, yet we have to go a big round to answer them. Some even memorised answers and just threw out whatever they know without answering the question set.
4) Our education system is such a success in terms of the value punctuality that even the Director for LSE praised us for coming back from our breaks on time.
5) SG students are so rational that they copy WHATEVER the lecturer said. We are so efficient in copying that we can enter into the Book of World Records. For things that we couldnt catch, we effectively turned to our sides to see what others had written.
Jokes of the dayssss (sponsored by UK lecturers).....
Pronounciation matters:
SG: I've got two tits. Do you want to see them?
UK: oh no!!!
(the SG pax meant "I've got two kids. Do you want to see them? - takes out a photograph and show)
Same word. Different meanings:
SG: Do you want to go to the restroom?
UK: Is it a room for me to rest?
I cracked a joke about you cuz I know you too well:
UK: do you know why i always agree with (Director's name here. too sensitive. cant put it here)? Cuz it saves time.
Enjoyment was somewhat missing for a year of school. It is finally found in my four days of UK revision classes. Sad issnt it?
