Twinkle Twinkle Little Indian Star?

Finally, two of my mid term exams just ended today. I have one coming up in two weeks. Sorry for the lack of updates and reviews. I’m currently watching Monster! now and it looks like a promising anime with lots of potential so far. I’ll be posting reviews of Monster and Ichigo 100% by next week. 

Also, just a treat for you. A video I came across during my Post Modern Theatre Studies class. Two guys, one nursery song iced with cultural toppings. End result? You get a whopping hilarious tub of laughter! 

You watch the video and you laugh at it for being so comical. What happens if I put myself in the shoes of a person with the same ethnicity as them. Will I still be able to laugh over it and treat it like a joke? 

Mocking your own culture probably does not go well with some. ( I saw some displeased faces during my seminar when this video was screened by our prof).

However, I did laugh when Russell Peter made fun of Chinese, saying how they couldn’t even “last one second”.

Not everyone’s a Russell Peter fan though. Hmm. Food for thought…

It’s easy to see why Americans picked Obama

I missed the historical event of the inauguration of America’s first black president (half white actually), Barack Obama. So,  I went to youtube and found this clear and crisp video of the inauguration provided by CPAN. 

President Barack Obama 2009 Inauguration and Address

 

I was so inspired by his speech that I began chomping on every Obama vid I can find on youtube’s related video column.  BUT, before you start labeling me an Obama fanatic, let me clarify my stand.

A measure of a good president or leader is never gauged on the basis of his eloquence. Adolf Hitler was an eloquent speaker too.  But the subject of his eloquence leaves much to be desired.

Next, just out of sheer curiosity, I typed in “George Bush” into the youtube search box and I found a list of results. My mouse seemed to magically gravitate to this link titled…

George W Bush – American Idiot

That line at the end of the video takes the cake. 

“and America needs a military where breast and brightest are proud to serve…”

 

Now do you see why Americans picked Mr. Obama ? (Given John McCain’s strong links with Bush)  You don’t need to be a PhD holder to figure out why! 

Restaurant Menu Fail!

I’m so excited about my graduation trip to Japan! I had to go to ICA and apply for a new passport for my trip since my old one is dated.  Nothing very interesting I can put up here except for this unique restaurant menu that I saw there.

Gee! Keh Zua? Tell me about it?

PS: For those of you who do not know what’s Keh Zua, it’s Hokkien dialect and it literally means firing more bullets (from a gun) than needed to kill an easy target.
