compo...love at 1st sight 1st paragraph

at the corner of street thirty-one, the last apartment on the third story, chloe tiptoes in her balcony. she is painting the window frame yellow because she thought the previous owner did a terrible job on the frames. chloe is not a very good painter and you can tell seeing that there is a mention of paint along the window panel. she pauses for a moment and look over the metal railings, yellow paint dripping on the grills. she stares into her new neighbourhood, a cramped turkish restaurant on the right, an elderly couple passing children hopping on the hopscotch, teenagers sitting on the doorsteps and then eventually, spots the back of a man with curly ginger hair.

speech...

Singaporeans do not care for singapore. i say this because of what i have observe residing in singapore for the past 15 years. take for instance our national anthem. how many non malays in singapore understand its lyrics?. how can we not even know what saying singing the anthem? students are not taught the meaning of the words in school, we are taught to sing the anthem quite blindly. furthermore, every morning at the school parade ground where students gather to sing the anthem, the voices are muted. i also witness spectators at the national day parade figeting aroud, talking eating when the nationa anthem was playing.
singapore is a multi-racial city, but ask a chinese which day does deepavali falls on or its significence, it is highly probable that the chinese will return your answer with a blank stare. despite living with various enthics, many singaporeans are not culturally knowledgable of the other races
if provided with a choice, most young men would prefer not to join national service. thay see ns as a interference in their persue for further studies and is a waste of time. one is suppose to be honoured to be part of the army. a uncle of mine once met a men from middle east who was upset that his daughter was leaving the army the next day and said he was filled with pride to have his daughter fight the country.upon completeing ns, the men go for a celebration. not very patroitic...
singaporean seldom display support for our sportsmen. how many people watches the s-league, and how many singaporeans will die w/o the epl. we will wake up midnight just to catch a european football match on tv but would not go catch a local match live at a stadium. it cost just 3 to 5 dollars for a local match, sometimes even free so that there is a higher chance that more people will turn up. singaporeans do not know our sporting achivements.

apple ad crazy ones.....

crazy comic genius...


Sacha Baron Cohen. Or more frequently known as Ali G, one of his three alter egos (the other two being Borat and Bruno). Cohen is different because he created a new breed of comedy. He places his fictional characters in authentic situation that makes for hilarious television (and in the process, causing embarrassment to his counterparts). He is so dedicated to his craft that he almost never give interviews as himself, only as his various alter-egos. A Jewish Cambridge graduate, he chose to be an entertainer, living from hand to mouth. It was only after 5 years that successes slowly commenced and lead eventually, his very own comedy empire.

Ali G (gangster rapper wannabe), Borat (a bigot Kazakh journalist) and Bruno (gay Austrian fashion show presenter) - the characters that appears on ‘Da Ali G Show’ that brought him fame in Britain. The man is insane because he performs, utters and asks inappropriate things that are illogical, senseless, dumb, insulting and everything not politically correct(Ali G: But what harm has violence ever done? Interviewee: Oh... death! Ali G: Yeah, but apart from that.) And this is the essence of what makes the show funny.

ALI G(to victoria beckham): ''So tell me, do you want him(brooklyn) to grow up to be a footballer like his dad, or a singer - like Mariah Carey? ''






''One time when me was high, me sold me car for like 24 chicken McNuggets.''









Cohen’s movie, ‘Borat: Cultural learning of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan’ is a cult favorite. The movie follows Borat(who dislikes Jews, claims that in Kazakhstan, gays wear blue hat, women lives in cages and their national drink is wine made from horse urine) as he travel across America to make a ‘documentary’ for fellow Kazakh back home. Just like his TV show, Borat cons people. He can be moronic too, for instance,borat enters a hotel lift and the doors shut. he starts unpacking his suitcase there and then, making himself comfortable, thinking that it was his room.





Borat,"In my country we say to let a woman drive a car is like to let a monkey fly a plane, very dangerous yes."


''American wine is like Kazahkstani wine, but not made from fermented horse urine.







Also, with Bruno, Cohen has the gift to make his victims sound stupid by contradicting what they say or blabber nonsense. Its priceless to watch what these casuatly of his would do declare just to sound right and look good in front the camera.(most just end up appearing even dumber)

Bruno,' why did you based the theme of the show around cardboard?'

FashionDesigner'well because everything is so hippie in fashion that i wanted something the opposite...you know...stiff and cut and just amazing like that.'
Bruno,'because no has yet the guts to do...''
FD, 'No one has the guts...they don't understand...''
(no cardboard as used in the fashion show)


bruno,'so...who we got here...paris hilton!'
fashionstylist1,'this is disgusting...'
fashion stylist2,'she got where she is cus of her parents $, not cus she got any class...'
(bruno tells them the hiltons are a hugh sponsor of the show)
FS1,'Hawt, she is a star. this is how every girl on the red carpet should dress'




Cohen's innovative comedy genre is clever and gut-bustlingly hilarious. His victims in responds to his lame questions, would think, 'What an idiot’, yet to the millions of us watching, would think the interviewee is the, ‘What an Idiot’ person. No one have ever thought (or put into practice,) of casting fake characters with real people. Or that such an idea would lead to such phenomenal. This guy is a maestro.


After watching parts of the movie and episodes of ‘Da Ali G show’, I gather that the foundation of Cohen’s success (or more correctly, his alter- ego’s) is his complete lack of fear. He dares to cross the line regardless of the consequence. He says things that outrages people and has caused him to be entangled in undesirable situation. Some prominent controversies include the Kazakhstan government who intended to sue him. And instead of the typical customary response of public apology or suing back, he responded as Borat, ‘I'd like to state that I have no connection with Mr Cohen and fully support my government decision to sue this Jew.’

Cohen ridiculous antics (washing his face with water from the toilet bowl) and embarrassingly witty mouth has him attest as either an absurd or a satire virtuoso. He is hysterical and not afraid to include sexism (‘Is it not a problem that the woman have a smaller brain? The government scientist has proved it is size of squirrel.’), racism and other taboo topics (..) that sometime bring out the unattractive side of humans. His alter egos insult, ridicules, mocks others not only in their face, but broadcasted on TV. nothing has cracked me up as much as Cohen and I respeck him for the ‘indecent’ stuff he speaks and does for the sake of fun side-splitting amusing entertainment!....

a crime case, capital punishment n green mile

dere was dis episode i watched on foxcrime. it was a murder. a young mother was shot three times(i think). she married an older man who was aged around 45. this young mother had a daughter around 15/17 n the old fellow had a 13 yr old daughter. at the scene of e murder, 13 yr old was found hiding in a dog kennel w abt 14 sleeping pills( which she vomited out-gross). so the case began ......and 13 yr old was found guilty. BUT...many years later(like 5 i think, or less), dis detective, who neva believed it was e 13 yr old hu killed, found enuff evidence 2 reopen the case. detective foung dat her father(the old chap) had after e murder, inherited an ample amt of $$(insurance of dead wife), njoying life in a lavished house, n had married e 17 yr old step
daughter!!! at 1st, e 13 yr old claimed dat she was high( or somrthing) dat derived her 2 kill , howeva, wen detective told her abt how her daddy was having a luxurious life n she was in a crummy cell, she finally told e truth! dat it was her father who convinced her to kill, citing dat e young mother was planning to kill him, n dat if u luv me, will kill her 4 me. so daddy was caught n guess wat- now claims dat it was his new 17yr old bride whu did it!! the detectives played the tape 4 new wife where new husband claims she was e 1 hu killed mother -she said e same thing as the 13 yr old-(mummy is going to kill me, kill her if you luv daddy-( wat crap)). al this was enuff fer old gur to go 2jail(n eve in jail, he plotted to kill detectives so dat dey cannot testify, n he will have a beta chance of not going 2 jail 4eva- too bad prison gaurd knew abt it n reported it). in the n, daddy was sent to life imprisonmnt. he is very very very evil to b willing 2 risk his own daughter's life n wife life jus so for $$, wat a loser. 13 yr old swallowed so many sleeping pills as he thought dat dis wouls kill her n he can point the finger at her.
justice prevailed n the 13 yr old is now blissfully married w kids.

if dis case occured in s'pore, i'm pretty sure the young gurl would hav been convicted n e real bad guy would have scot free...abt capital punishment...i dont feel its rite...i dontlike it. we shoulsd not play God. even the worse of e worst evil- should not b subjected to capital punishment. revenge cannot bring back e dead(sounds cliche). its crazy dat possesion of wea pons w/o even using dem results in daeth in s'pore. maybe s'pore gives CP easily as it makes thing simpler, less complicated. u hang, he dies n case close n it can neva reopen. gree mile showed dat even bad ppl can change, although not always(ex. wild bill). obviously its dif to allow an ex-murderer on to e streets again, but no matter, we should not kill dem...manb e gov dont wan 2 risk letting a unchanged bad man lived, but dis is xtremely unfair to a repented chap...Eduard delacroix in green mile changed. he bcame good n likable. he made us feel guility for killing him. he's my fav character. i suppose i pity delacroix more den koffey as koffey wanted to die, the worldwas too evil 4 him. but delacroix was so remoseful n he didnt wanted 2 die. he was so shakened n was trembling wen he sat on e electric chair. percy telling him the truth abt mousevillev made you wan to kill him for making things worse fer dalacroix. he also had 2 part w mr jingles, n u could c how much he luved it...green mile gave me alot of afterthoughts.

music

there r many type of music. i think i goove to most types, manb xcept 4 country. my father 's taste in music has influence quite a bit. bcause of him, i listen to rock n metal n jazz-n i reali reali facncy them.
my dad also influence my elder brothar so much dat i noticed dat he listens to nothing but heavy metal n rock. i feel dat he thinks bands like 'falloutboys' socalled rock songs r rubbish. my dad was e 1 hu started my brother on the bass who now is now like obsessed w it.

my father's favorite band is deep purple. he is a very musically inclined person. he loves music. but he dosen't really follow the rules. he learned 2 played e guiter himself n can play the drum n piano a bit. wen it comes to music, he is really cool. my father brought me 2 my 1st concert(linkin park). recently, he took me 2 a 'concert' at fort canning by yngwie malmsteen.
although i luv roc n al dat, i also listen to commercial music(gwen stefani's sweet escape is hawwwt.). inthe car, its commercial(power98), on e ipod, its songs dad likes, in sch, its hiphop(thks 2 botin).
recently, brit songs r getting popular. sissor sisters r cool. somethimes, awful songs gets addictives cus ppl cant stop singing dem(avril 's complicated-she cant sing!). sometimes techno is cool too -'fatboyslim' songs rox...
