Two in a Row

I had a meaningful weekend; last saturday and sunday. Really appreciate those who casted me with the golden opportunities; if those activities werent for them, i wouldnt have gone there.

I went to a play last saturday. Went there with my mates and my mom. A renowned actor, writer, director, a humourous performer and now owner of a quaint little book shop-Thor Kah Hoong. You might not heard of his name, but if you're one of The Star readers, you'll slightly know it. The play was Brickfields...Now & Then. It was a dramatized story of his childhood. I was quite aware of my mom's reaction before she sees the play, because she has never liked to go for plays; she went but I shall remain silence of the reason. The reason is never something bad okay? Phew. My mom turned out to be enjoying the play. Sighed. She mentioned that Thor's childhood was more or less the same as hers, maybe she felt a lil bit of intimation and a flashback of her childhood. I know now, the lifestyles of my parents' so-called 'good old days'.

I went to Nan Yang Newspaper consequtively on sunday. It was knowledgeably wonderful. It was sponsored by Taylor's College. Reasonably, there were lecturers and graduators from Taylor's College, telling us the advantages of the Mass Communication field. I used to have the thought of be a part of it, changed due to some reasons. Right now, I cant make up my mind. Ridiculous?

Later, there was a local singer's appearance, yuheng. Frankly, I didnt have any clues on her until I met her that day. Sorry and thanks to my friends, who really worked hard for the so-called gathering.



'I believe that entropy is the giver of life. Improvements always come at a price. There is a certain magical glow about your youth or childhood as it is a time where you have no adult responsibilities.' -Thor Kah Hoong, on why do people call it the 'good old days'.

Treasure your childhood. Make it unforgettable and profoundly expressive.
