Its ALMOST mid-week

Its a tuesday evening over here and its rather cold. The weather has been so funny. It seems like the atmosphere can't seem to make up its mind. Its spring but the temperature still feels like its winter. Hmm maybe its just too early yet. The coldness of winter will still linger on for quite some time.

Well as usual monday are psychology days. But i had something interesting to look forward to in the evening. I headed down to town hall AGAIN with a friend. But then again Town Hall is just like Orchard Road in Singapore which people like me head down to every other day for various reasons. ;-)

We were invited to this television series preview session. We were supposed to give our honest comments on it. Stating the good and the bad. The survey was conducted by a professional organisation. The TV series was entitled "The Gap".

Its about the differences between the baby boomers generation and the generation XY. Its in a talk show kind of format. If you watch the Oprah show, it has a similar setting to that. So basically, we have a host and two people supporting each generation, not forgetting the audience.

The topic yesterday was on Politics and Protesting. The baby boomers generation condenmed the youths today of being ignorant of the political world, They claimed that we are more interested in deciding what to wear tomorrow than finding out who the next prime minister will be? Is he capable of handling such a heavy responsibiity? If he is not, then why keep quiet, let's protest!

The generation XY had nothing to argue with unfortunately. However there were exceptional cases such as this two aussie dudes who climbed to the top of the Operah House and wrote 'NO WAR' on the walls.They were fined and made to pay for the clean up cost. I mean HEEELLLOOO why vandalise the Operah House ..Go elsewhere people! But wait!!! Think for a second.. If those guys had actually written their views elsewhere on a wall by the street, would people have noticed? Would they have gotten their message across to the public just like how they wanted to. My answer is a NO! People like you and me would have just glanced at the scribles and forgotten about it within a split second. They knew they had to do something crazy to get people to listen and realise. The Operah House was thus a good way to do so. No! Don't get the wrong idea.. I am not advocating you guys back in Singapore to go scribble on the Merlion or something.. (Whats Singapore's famous tourist spot anyway??????? Hmmmmmm) People have to go to such an extrere to get their views across. Why??? Thats a question i leave you, the audience to answer. Some thing to ponder about.

But overall my personal rating for the series was very good.We need these kind of series to enlighten us..hahah

I had bubble tea agin...This is bad!! Arghhh..i should check my account balance soon..hehe

Ok mate ;-) thats it for now! Till the next entry.......Good Day!!
