& my story begins
The Edison Chen incident got me thinking.
It sparked off a world wide argument: Whose fault was that? Do you blame the people who chose to take those pictures, or do you put the blame on the perpetuator who posted the pictures on the Net? And before you jump to any conclusion, let's see a few points.
Firstly, the photos were obviously taken a while ago. They have up to a thousand photos, and this takes time to accumulate. And of course, the parties were willing as they readily posed in front of the camera. So, while those photos were locked in Edison's laptop, did anything happened? All was fine, until he went to the technician's for repairs. Soon after the posted pictures culminated in everyone's attention towards Edison, and their pointing fingers. Deliberate. Didn't you started blaming Edison after you knew about it?
Secondly, those weren't even intended for public viewing. It was an accident that allowed such scandalous photos to be on the Net. Now be honest with yourself. How many of us, upon hearing of the availability of the photos, went to check them up for ourselves? So if Edison is considered promiscous, doesn't it make you lascivous too? So who are we to blame him?
God didn't make anyone perfect. If we can launch the Yellow Ribbon Campaign to accept ex-convicts back into our society, surely we can accept Edison's behaviour? Granted, this may be a negative example to follow, and some 'innocent' teenagers may be more tempted to 'eat the forbidden fruit' now, not to mention that the female parties involved are seriously disturbed by this incident. So what, I say?
If teenagers follow the trend, then doesn't education have to shoulder some responsibility too? It doesn't take one hand to clap; if teenagers are so 'innocent' as to follow EVERY thing we see, then there wouldn't have wars. Besides, don't we praise kis for being precocious nowadays? Next, about the emotional stress of the female parties. They were obviously fine when they took the photos, so who's to blame? Those who point the accusing finger, of course! Those who keep condemning Edison and causing him this problem now. And those 'inquisitive ones' among us who made sure the female parties received LOTS of attention. Now you say, who's to blame?
And Edison has quitted from the entertainment industry, because of this. I'm not an ardent fan of his, but I think it weird that he has to do this because of his behaviour. What about those of us who visit brothels, or those who kill people, or commit crimes?
I'm just sad to say that this incident has just revealed lots of ugly sides of human. To probe into others' problems, to cause them this problem, to make sure they 'receive the right punishment', to make sure they are embarrassed to the core. What for? 'Oh, just for fun. Just to see lor.' Ugly, I say. Ugly.

Had Drama production at Ah Liang's office on Wednesday. And this dark photo shows SH. haha. Try to see ( you can click on the image and enlarge). Qualityof phone has been bad, after god knows how many times it fell on the floor.
Recent creation. Quite glam, I know. haha. And the quality of the phone is actually quite ok, believe it or not. But that was before I dropped it the last time. Anyway, I may buy a camera to take these photos, after I've got enough EXTRA cash.
Anyway, 'P.S. I LOVE YOU' isn't all that good, as they all said it was!! The storyline's not that strong, and you keep having recurrent parts about the past that leaves audience thinking if those were the present. Then all of a sudden many letters come and the widow just got herself hooked to a man in the end. I know this sounds bad as a review, but I actually slept for the last 10 mins of the show. And I didn't sleep when I watched 'Open Season' 1 year plus ago. ( That was when Norman slept like many many times)
Next Friday's the day to choose our electives!! And god knows how many 'kiasu' people there will be who will arrive early just to get the modules they want. *hai* Plus the SPH talk after that isn't going to help alleviate the deary feeling. It's not helping.
Dorcus!! Your cupcake is nice la!! OMG.. Do make more!! haha =))

Well well, look who we have here. Someone's clearly been so out of touch with the cyberspace that the vortex has almost laid to waste. Almost, not totally. So I'm here to resurrect it.
Hectic week? Yes, of course. Monday was another Drama lesson and Psycho lecture. We had our groups formed and ideas thought of. Now it's the developing stage. Then the results were released during lecture, and we went home rather early. That was for the tests on Tuesday, which went quite well, I guess. Definitely easier than the previous ones, but as for results... It remains to be seen.
Then it was CNY eve on Wed!! Went over to Ah ma house to collect the dyes, then realised they were kept in my room cupboard =.= Mum wanted to cut her 'french' , then in the end I brought Joey back with me and I spent 3 hours dyeing, cutting, straightening and cutting. Yes, Joey has shorter hair now. And they actually wanted something like my style for her. Quite dumb.
Had reunion dinner at night, over at Ah ma House.
Thursday I wore my tie!! And the shirt. So the overall effect was quite 'student-y'. Anyway the whole day was spent going to various places to get ang baos. 小姨 also 心痒痒, so I had to create this new look for her. Ya, hair.
Friday I went out with the Cheapskate Family. lol. Spent the whole day at AMK Hub, watching CJ7 and eating, playing at Nebo. They have so many board games we spent 3 hours at Nebo for dinner. Then we went back at around 10 plus.
Saturday was another busy day. =.= The only thing was going to Kovan for a photoshoot which 小姑 arranged. We had to do our hair, make-up, dress impeccably. Ya. The prep work was fun, and the shooting part was so zz. Had to pose weirdly, and tilt this angle and that. Anyway, my creative work was shown on Mum's head, cos the other people were either too busy doing other stuff (mostly), having oldies style that they can easily create (Dad) or thinking they already look fabulous, when the whole 比例 is just wrong (won't say who). ha~~ ya I'm laughing.
Busy busy. Photos uploading soon. Gonna stay 'un-busy' for now.

Ok, fine, I'm blogging. Partly 'cos culture-what-the-crap is killing. I have no idea how memorising all these stuff that we're going to forget later will help us in the future. Firstly, there is the lack of interest, which means that unless you seriously consider it beneficial, you won't retain it in your brain. Which means that you'll forget most of it later on, which is my second point. Conclusion? Argh, irritating and totally retarded of Oni.
This week's been fun, though!! Recap:
Mon: Finished class early, and went home straight. haha
Tues: Finished class wayyy early after AT2, so headed to Sim Lim to buy the DS cartridge. Kind me helped Jane buy too. haha.
Wed: Stayed at home, played the whole day. It's a wonder how I didn't rot. Probably 'cos Heaven decided I was a fine specimen of human that can't be 'wasted'. waha~
Thurs: Pretty much that too.
Friday: Yes, I also stayed at home. zz
Sat: Went to cousin's house for appointment. haha. Aunt fetched me early in the morning and I stayed there till 7 plus, then we headed to J8 for dinner.
Then retard Manfred did something. He switched on the flash of his phone camera and started shooting in the car. Got scolded by everyone while I was the only one laughing like mad. Cos there was this sudden flash in the car and aunt was thinking 'what happened?' .
That's about all. Another appointment tmr. And endless hours of studying to fulfill but I'm not even close to finishing. Screw NQ. For allocating 2 tests on the same day, which is the eve of CNY eve.
ZHI ZHANG!!
