Did anyone visit the Mediacorp website huh??? This Sunday it's going to be quite an interesting topic. Yes, i'm talking about Tuesday Report. Anyway, it's about a lady working in a prison (i-think)
Anyway, i want to recommend Find Me a Singapore aka Xi1 You2 Ji4. Please do not mistake it for 'Journey to the West'. It's a totally different entity altogether.
Anyway, there's a reason that i want to recommend (yes, i love to recommend things that i appreciate - HERE as it's my blog) this show, because i think it's a good effort by Channel U, especially in the very 'deep' documentaries. U know lah, the channel current has some crappy idol-vote-for-p******supers*** and various Taiwanese-variety shows. Which is something that i rarely appreciate.
I've link the web for a reason, so please do read it! What this show is about how the host will search out Singaporeans in various countries and stay with them for a while to experience their lifestyle. Today i happened to watch the episode, and i was really quite touched by today's episode!
Aiyo, so embarassing. Anyway, the host was in some country, where a Singaporean was there voluntarily to help ensure the lives of the children (who are slow in mind, and maybe have mental illness) are improving. I mean, i really agree that it is really a very meaningful thing to be doing, SERIOUSLY.
There was a part where there was a mental ill young adult who was shut in a big cage, which was build around him to ensure that he does not get into trouble. The thing is: he has been there every since, and he does not get out. And the host together with the volunteer (meaning that she's not paid, relying on sponsorship to be there to do this voluntary work) had to travel to visit him by climbing mountains, traveling between them using a flying-fox-esp rope to travel.
The host was saying that it was something that a typical spoilt-Singaporean will never experience this! And it was something that really broke her heart. Haiz. I could never imagine myself to stay in that built-around prison, as long as i live.
As i was saying, this show's really good. I strongly recommend this show, because it not just
- Brings you to different countries and meet Singaporeans
- It also cause you to see different ways of living, and why Singaporeans choose to be there
It's a must-watch!
Today, Boss was asking me to draft out an email to inform some staff on a very pleasant issue. So i was drafting out the mail, but i felt that it's too stiff and formal, and i totally dunno what to do with it. Praise the Lord, i can show Boss first. He replied back with additions, which turn out to be a real pleasant letter. I IM-ed him, and told him that i've receive it. He asked me if i understand why he wrote it the way he wrote it. This is what i said: me: Because my version is very rigid and so not friendly Boss: Yes *smile*. It's so unlike you. Writing such should be friendly, yet professional me: Ok...eh! *frown* A sudden thought just came into my mind. Because of what he said. If i'm a friendly person by nature (which he thinks i am, and i guess i am), then my writings should reflect this nature too! Man! What a sad thought! My writings are so... unfriendly :S IS MY WRITINGS HERE UNFRIENDLY??? Then?! How come my formal writing is so unfriendly? This really disturb me quite a bit. Am i really someone unfriendly, and my crappiness-on-my-blog, and etcetra is not the real me? Hmmmm. I guess, this is one inner issue that i need to deal with. Sometimes, i do admit that i built "walls" around me (in a way to protect myself). Naturally i'm not the very relational type of person.... Someone in office said that i'm quiet. Well... quite, but crappiness does not account to being loud-and-crazily-happy. Gee, this entry is getting a bit personal and psychological. But it's ok. I know that many people that i know, know that i have these 'walls' that i build. And yeah, i know that i need to ax away those 'walls', just that i hasn't really got to it. Maybe i think too much..... My blog is the real me, that's the truth!
It's been a fruitful week so far. Looking forward to Sermon on the Mount on weekend bible study. :)
