Warning: The Following May Be Hazardous/Offensive To Some

but i am going ahead with what i want to say anyway, this is my blog!

i hate Singapore Idol because the judges are constantly fixated with giving comments regarding their looks (YOU LOOK LOVELY! YOU LOOK SEXY! YOU LOOK LIKE A PUMPKIN! THIS CONTEST IS ABOUT YOUR GLASSES! with regard to EVERY SINGLE CONTESTANT, just listen and see), and personality (you have to APPEAL TO THE MASSES! DIFFERENT EQUATES WITH BAD! NOT GOOD IF YOU’RE IE A ROCKER CHICK! p.s look at adam NOT GOOD IF I THINK YOU HAVE A DULL PERSONALITY! I WON’T GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR YOUR SINGING BECAUSE BOTTOMLINE IS YOUR IDENTITY IS BORING!)
of course these elements are important, but to put all focus onto them instead of their music
like, if put in figures, Miscellaneous Comments (meaning those pertaining to anything not quite related to music) would take up say 99% of Total Comments; plus how much of it is actually constructive criticism?!
of the show there is no originality, nothing to shock you out of your sedate couch-potato position, no excitement, no inspiration
singing competition my backside

and the stage is so ugly and small and the sound system really sucks from the way i hear it on television and the lighting serves the basic purpose of say flourescent lights in your study room

and stale jokes and annoying small-talk about things i really can’t care less about on the part of the host

and then this guy tried to sing some Jason Mraz. ???????????????????????????????????????????

shit

never spoiling my dinner this way again

Grand Machine No. 14

during a blissfully quick lecture one day about the Change that international and regional organisations are facing today, my professor showed us a video that essentially commented on the the astonishing effects of globalisation – Shift Happens
for better or for worse, you can decide for yourself

here though, is the third version of the Did You Know? video by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod that i could find (might be familiar to some)

(the fourth and latest version i felt was all too much about only the convergence of media so i put that up instead, but here it is anyway if you happen to be interested)
not necessarily a portrayal of absolute predictability or truth, but astoundingly intense and thought-provoking all the same, all about the very things we subscribe to (with pretty much Constructivist undertones minus the positivity i feel ha ha or would you consider it Realist)

all fibres of the inevitable greater fabric mmhmm
