The CHY movies

The year of the Rat is here,

and we managed to catch the 3 lunar new year movies..

the dear one ranks them as follows:

1) Kung fu dunk for the overall story

2) CJ7 for stephen chow's jokes although the pacing was slow

3) Ah long Pte Ltd... the critics were right!

ha ha.. although i would think that being able to laugh at familar no brainer jokes is a blessing in itself. not the dear, who finds the plot and jokes predictable. i would think that its a subjective thingy, for everyone has differing perceptions of what constitutes a good movie.. to me, the chance to escape into the Reel world for that short moment in time with the unfolding story, is worth the tix price. just knew i would not make a good movie critic!
I must really watch more movies this year!

Blogging?

i read an article on bloging in which the writer wrote of the change in the manner in which she approached the activity. The writer wrote that when she first started blogging, she wrote about very freely about anything and everything, akin to writing to a diary. writing anonymously. now, she has started to write for an audience and no longer write about things close to her heart. topics are limited to certain boundaries and written to impress. for you would never know who is reading. in the complexity that is the cyber world.

indeed, if the begining of blogging represented an outlet for the expression of self. a paperless method of detailing your thoughts and a record of your activities. however, with the proliferation of the activity, the advancement of technology and an entire generation of tech savvy cyber users in the information age, the blog moves from the private into the public sphere. with the possiblity of being linked to the blog thru various methods, the blog is an alternative to the mass media. the concept of the social construction and presentation of self in the cyber. maybe golfman's theorys of presentation of self are applicable, with there being an inner/outer binary.

it would be interesting to do a sociological discourse on the subject matter. in fact, facebooking would be another cyber social activity that is worth a discursive study. and the irony of the matter, it is beyond doubt that i am gulity of the above, as well.

Being a presenter

presenting is never my forte.. butterflies would gather in the unsettled tummy.. with the cheeks burning a bright red.. and the mind freezing into blankness..humpz.. many a presentations later.. its still the same.. shicks

really need to polish up on my presentation skills......... ;p
