alive again? maybe for a while...

ALIVE AGAIN? MAYBE... haha... i'm back again... i dun think anyone reads this blog of mine... but i shall just post... why i start again? no idea... guess it's becos i watch I Not Stupid 2 today... den saw that the boy blogs... so maybe i shall just blog again... I noe it's a little late to only watch the movie now... but after watching it... it really brought some sense into how good it really feels to be praised... and it really does do good to praise people. Is it really that difficult to praise people? I think it's really how Singaporeans are brought up... It's so competitive in Singapore... so everyone... or shud I say every parent... is always pushing their children to be at the TOP... and never 2nd best... so they just scold and scold and scold and nv praise... also... in a society where money is always a concern... both parents are always working... and it is really heartaching to see from the movie that a child actually communicates with his parents thru pin-up notes stuck on the fridge... this is pathetic... and i'm sure it does happen in real life... I guess the part that touched me the most is how much the young boy wanted his parents to attend his school play... that he actually resorted to stealing because he wanted to raise $500... hoping to 'buy' 1hr of his father's time becos his father gets paid $500/hr for giving speeches... I have to praise Jack Neo as this film really works as a wake up call as it shows how little parents communicates with their children nowadays... it is evident that all parents love their children... but is it always NATO? it is very true indeed when one get's cramped up with work and OT just to feed the family and the child gets neglected... and when a child becomes a rotten apple... whose fault is it? the child's or the parent's? or in our context... the society's?!? tc & GB!
