Magical TurnAbout-- Let Me Spin A Tale, A ThouSaNd LighTs, A StaGe as Grande

Well, its been quite some time since my previous post and u guys muz be wondering what i m doin.. Since i m not slogging my guts out at the moment, i shld hav lots of free time at hand so whats the excuse? yes, i know.. so, i will jus ans with a blatant one: I m hooked on youtube videos.. Ok, to put it in simpler terms and more general in the sense, its those taiwan variety shows where we can only get to see on cableTv which i m apparently void of.. So, that explains why YouTube.. My source of 'comfort' and 'cordon bleu'... As if! But, its a whole lot better than sitting at home all day with crappy tv shows and jus practically lazing around, which seems to be what i hav been doing almost all day.. Sometimes, yea i might be too lazy to jus step out of the hse, but come to think of it.. are there any places in singapore that i hav not been to? hmm.. yea.. there might be some discreet locations that i might not hav been to but other than places like Arab st or md Sultan rd kind of places where quaint shops might apparate out of nowwhere, where else?

Not that singapore is not great, because it is in a number of ways..like its peace and tranquility, uptight sercurity, almost friendly people.. And, yes.. SAFE! well, these are some good attributes Singapore holds but looking back at these listed attributes, does it seem a teensy bit blant? As in mundane? If u beg to differ, then throw me some excitement.. smth new and smth out of the way.. Argh.. but face it, there are really none to offer.. The closest thing to entertainment will be the hordes of shopping malls springing all over the island.. with the latest at HarbourFront-- VivoCity. yea... galore of cineplexes, boutiques with overpriced items, restaurants for the fancy.. Is this an attempt to draw in more tourists? Or overindulgence? But, before shooting it down the dumps, yea.. its a great place for some entertainment, some pampering.. And, since i hav not really been there and my views r only based on some critics on newspapers, it might prove me wrong..

But, now the subject is the issue of being there, done that and looking for more.. And, there's no more to look for! and when youtube crashes, which is now starting to seem like, well then i will really become a couch potato..

And, before i go off, i jus hav to say that this book, autobiography of Xiezhi in chinese.. its great.. its the second chinese book i hav read actually.. its the sequel to the first book.. I mean it great not jus being a biased opinion cuz i like this person but actually what is written is really real n not pretence nor a fallacy.. talks about the pits and glamour of the entertainment industry and how he perservered.. Sometimes the lessons he learnt, it feels as if though i m not there and not taking the same path as he is, but it applies to me too.. He talks about setting goals and dreams and what gives.. This makes him jus like a normal person, celeb or not, he has a story like all of us!
