How will you react if an old lady asks for help, but you do not understand her language at all?
The incident happened yesterday. My friend and I were walking towards Esplanade from Funan. So as we were crossing the road somewhere, a young girl, who was helping a granny to cross the road, asked us if we knew where's the nearest taxi stand. So ya, from the looks of it, the both of us thought this girl was just accompanying her grandma, and they're on their way home.
We lead them to Esplanade and tried to hail a cab for them on the way too. Once we've reached the stand, we advised them to call for a cab as the queue was very long. So the girl asked how much was it and we told her it's about $10 upon boarding (on call + cbd + $2.80 LOL). Only then, the girl told us she doesn't know the granny and she's not sure if the granny had enough money with her. She added she's from Hong Kong and only speaks cantonese.
:O
Though most of us should know at least one dialect (i guess), I can't speak any. LOL. alright, maybe a bit of hokkien but it's very broken. oh and my pronounciation/tone used can be really wrong. I remember saying "$3.60 " in hokkien, and had no idea that the way i said it was like taking off your top and pants, as i've used the wrong tone.
k back to the story...
Fortunately, my friend, is a cantonese and she speaks it at home! =D
The granny had no identity cards, no phone, no contact numbers with her. She only had money. After knowing where she stays, we called a cab for her and the girl left first. We'll worry for her safety should she go home by herself, so we went back with her. She mentioned the block number, bedok, and chai chee. we were confused which was the correct location as bedok AND chai chee both have that block number. anyway, we just travelled to chai chee first.
when we're reaching chai chee, the granny recognized the roads. we alighted at chai chee and we went up the lift with her. we went straight to the top floor, and the granny knows we still have to walk up one storey to reach her unit. so yea.. we managed to send her back to her house.
well.. her daughter-in-law opened the door and said something like, "oh, you found her?". this lady was eating ice cream, and she didn't look anxious at all. and i find her unfriendly. after saying bye, we left. my friend don't remember that lady saying even for once, "thank you.". we've been thinking the granny must've got some scoldings from her daughter-in-law.
while the old lady and us were on the cab, she mentioned that she came from Hong Kong, and that her son works everytime and never brings her out. He kept her id cards to prevent her from stepping out of the house.
that obviously didnt work.. maybe she sneaks out often? maybe the daughter-in-law is immuned to her daily disappearance that's why she didn't look anxious at all? we dont know and we'll never find out.. maybe the son and his wife have their side of story too..
soo many questions surfacing in our minds just because we did a good deed. my friend's parents even ticked us off as they're afraid we might get kidnapped. LOL.
but you obviously can't ignore an old lady right?
argh, let's hope she's doing fine.

Are you my online friend?
How can one not have absolutely anybody to talk to. That is one question i habitually ask myself.
Is it because one is boring?
Or one is plain outright ugly.
*Scoffs*
But maybe it's because there just isn’t any need to talk at all. When two acquaintances strike up a online conversation, it usually runs its course past the mundane questions before fizzling out to boredom and slience.
It is definately easier to stop a conversation online then in a real dyad situation. One just needs to stop responding to the repeated appearance of “hello? you there?” and the irritating shakes of nudges. If He/she truly wants to ignore irritating person, there are even more options such as going offline or blocking the contact!
Easy.
So what is keeping that person from deleting 95% of his IM buddy list? After all, we only speak to a select few on a regular basis. The rest are just mere acquaintances and third degree friends. But having a long buddy list is important to the individual. It helps delude the mind and boost esteem that one is popular and has a large social circle. As such, one will actively try to engage and strike up conversations to be pathetically sociable to strangers that barely interact with the individual.
Truth as it seems, is always less rosy.
How to we improve the situation then? Firing off conversation windows and aggressively PMing everyone that comes online immediately will just make people avoid or worst, block oneself. There must be common interest for the stranger to be on the IM buddy list, be it a camp or post-drunk/clubbing activity. The key foothold is to build on that interest and branch out to other topics like ” Is boxers or briefs better? ” or ” Name your poison. I like my Chivas neat. ” Topics on “friends girlfriends” or “bdsm desires” are best left for a later timing when a stronger relationship exist. Being too pushy or mindlessly responding/throwing out dumb one-answer questions will not help either.
Maybe I do need to defragment my IM buddy list into two list.
” Who talks to me ” and ” Everybody else “.

Obsession with Facebook, kills.
The internet has significantly grown to become a powerful medium for communication and knowledge. Almost everything is done online. Here we have it, the latest craze over the online social networking site, Facebook, which has taken over Friendster. Facebook has such a powerful appeal, and the way it gets people addicted to it scares me. What interests me is the posting of pictures and comments by friends and online acquaintances. Yet, taking the viewpoint of practicality, Facebook does not have any educational purpose or informative purpose. It is more for cheap thrills and shallow entertainment value.
Man Murders Wife Over Facebook Entry
posted on Friday, 17 October 2008.
A 34 year old man was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing his wife to deathover a posting she made on the social networking site Facebook.
Wayne Forrester told police that he was devastated that his wife, also 34, had changed her online profile to "single" days after he moved out.
"She then posted messages on an internet website telling everyone that she had left me and was looking to meet other men. I loved Emma and felt totally devastated and humiliated by what she had done to me."
Forrester drove to her home in Croydon, south London, and attacked the mother-of-two on February 18, stabbing her with a kitchen knife and a meat cleaver.
Forrester was drunk and high on cocaine when he attacked the mother-of-two in the early hours as she slept. He proceeded ti beat her, tore out clumps of her hair, and repeatedly stabbed her in the head and neck.
He thought his wife, a payroll administrator, was having an affair and had threatened to kill her.
The court heard that a day before the murder, he called her parents and complained about his wife's facebook entry, which he said "made her look like a fool."
This article is an appropriate example to illustrate the overpowering influence the internet has on users. A murder was committed simply because of a status change on her profile. It shows how significantly people are affected by social networking sites and even to the extent of murder for jealousy. It creeps me out, the addiction and obsessiveness Facebook can create, whereby this man has evidently lost his life and mind in cyberspace. Although Facebook may seem to be a harmless and entertaining site to socialize on the internet, just beware of the overwhelming adverse effects it poses. Given our heavy dependence on the internet and these social networking sites, our world might just turn topsy turvey under the rule of computers! Yucks, this thought makes my hair stand on ends.

My opinion on The Twilight Saga
I don't know how many of you have heard of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series but after completing the four book series recently in one and a half weeks (gasps!), it is only to be expected that I give my opinion of it since I've virtually done nothing else. (:
As i was initially coerced by avid fans into reading the first book, I started on it without much expectations of it being a good read. From snippets of friends' conversations about the series, the storyline line and genre was an immediate turn off because it was about vampires and werewolves with distasteful romance. I thought that I wouldn't last even through the first chapter.
But I was wrong.
Upon reading the first page I realised this book wasn't one of those that involved thinking. Stephenie Meyer has a very simple style of writing, and though she tries to describe emotions and scenes with detail, they just come across as repetitive. I have never speed read any faster in my life than when reading this series. Yet, in a stange way, I enjoyed the four books.
I was trying to think of reasons as to why Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga captivated and enthralled me so when the genre was standard of the series was not something I would typically like. Moreover, all my three sisters made remarks that questioned my sanity-why did I get such a kick out of reading the Twilight series? My youngest sister innocently exclaimed that all her friends were reading the book and asked whether she could read it too-absolutely not, she's only 10! That proved that the book would retard my mind since the standard was that of a ten year old. Another remarked (not as innocently) that all the girls who wouldn't be caught within a 100m radius of a book were all reading it, which was also very telling. The last sister tried to be supportive, reading the first book but then gave up and resorted to reading a very comprehensive synopsis by Wikipedia and told me to do the same. She said the series would be an insult to my intelligence.
But I couldn't help finishing the first book and subsequently the other three.
I have arrived at the conclusion that after years of reading anything but pre-teen/teen-fiction, books like that of Stephenie Meyer's come across as a 'refreshing' change. Having been a literature student, exposed to texts that sometimes tortured my brain, this contrastingly mindless series proved to be a pleasurable read. Not because I marvel at the plot of the story but that I find the cheesy romance and predictable storyline entertaining, almost comical. I mock at Stephanie Meyer's haphazard way of writing, her lack of planning and the many loopholes in her story-which is fun. She drags the novel on and on, and only develops the storyline towards the end of the novel, where all the action starts and ends in a matter of a few chapters.
I've realised that though she may not be a first class author, she's smart. She keeps her readers glued to the book because in the midst of all her weak attempts and describing the vampire boy Edward and human girl Bella's romantic encounters and dramatic escapades, which can be very dreary, she does not fail to pepper such scenes with an important detail or two to keep the reader going.
I did get carried away with the romance initially, thinking how Edward was sweet and Bella was being a pain but Stephanie Meyer got bolder with each sequel and the way she portrayed their intensifying romance was feeble because it only made a realist like me somewhat disgusted. Because of the heavy emphasis on romance, what with love triangles and all, it made certain characters like Bella and a werewolf boy Jacob (obviously in the love triangle) get progressively annoying as well.
The series wasn't a total flop to me because besides it giving me the satisfaction of making digs at the author and being amused by how contrived the story seems to be, there were a few thrilling events in the book. One such event would be the battle amongst the vampires because of our dear female protagonist Bella. Another interesting part in the series was on how the vampires and werewolves which are supposed to be enemies worked alongside each other to fight, unfortunately, again for Bella. And this last one which had me squirming while I was reading was the dramatic process of Bella giving birth. Ignoring the far fetched idea of a vampire impregnating a human (as vampires have no life in them), Meyer gave a horrific and grotesque but exciting description of Bella's delivery. It made me feel tense and at the edge of my seat, reading faster to get the progression more quickly-one of the rare moments where the feeling she intended her readers to experience actually came through.

This is my bit of info-tainment to everyone out there, i hope i didn't bore you to death! Now to concentrate on the upcoming finals!haha...

Our daily lives.
This may not be a post on the serious use of communication principles or theories which makes an impact on the people or things around us, but it is one that would talk about how communication plays a rather crucial aspect in our everyday lives. I would like to share my experience and reflections/thoughts on two particular instances I had encountered with over the recent weekend and how communication theories are being applied.
Let me begin with the game my team had to play so as to complete our tasks at various game stations. There was a large-scale sports event that took place over the weekend at Sentosa, organized by the school committee members. All twelve teams were supposed to compete against each other via a point system, in which points are awarded, after every task at all sixteen stations, are completed. All sixteen stations tired us out but there was one particular game which spurred my interest as it was something out of the ordinary, involving both the physical and mental aspects of a person.
The name of this game was- "Who is The Rat Shit?". The name of the game does not give a clear indication of what the game is about, but the objective of it is actually for the whole group to think in a similar way about certain objects without having to reveal the name of the item itself. For instance, when given a random object like a roll of aluminium foil, the keyman would have to use words or actions to get the message of what the foil is used for across to the rest of the team, without revealing the name of the object. He could perhaps show his members how he would use it as a thermometer by putting it at his underarm, while telling us he has a fever. After which, the team would have to figure out what the keyman is using the item as and shout the answer out together. Sounds pretty easy?
My group, however, did not manage to get a uniform answer from everyone! Four of us made the correct guess, but there was one who shouted, "ice pack!" Obviously, in this case, it was either the keyman did not deliver his ambigous message as accurately as possible, or the team member's fault. Looking at it from a communicator/sender's point of view, it was probably the keyman. This shows how nonverbal communication can be employed in situations like this and that nonverbal communication can be misinterpreted or indistinct. Also, this is evident that nonverbal and verbal communication ought to be simultaneously so as to reduce the risk of breakdown in communication.
One other interesting instance would be the very brief, unexpected encounter with a stranger on a rainy day when I alighted from a bus. The sky was overcast and rain flooded the streets in town as everyone scrambled for shelter and had umbrellas over their heads. Just as I alighted from it and started walking away from it with an umbrella over my head and concentrating on every step I took to ensure that I would not slip and fall, I felt a tap on my shoulder. A split second later, this young man who I was on the same bus as me appeared beside me and requested sharing the umbrella with him as he did not have one. Personally, I had no qualms about it but I got a culture shock when this stranger started telling me about himself and asking rather personal questions, like if I were a student and where I was studying at. I found out that he was actually a Vietnamese student who is here in Singapore to get a degree from one of the better local unviversities. Feeling insecure, I gave cold and curt replies throughout the conversation. The dyad between us ended pretty quickly, probably in less than three minutes as we had to go our separate ways- him running away in the rain and I, the other direction.
I felt defensive the moment he talked to me till the last word he said. Why was that so, I thought to myself. He obviously did not mean any harm and it dawned on me that it was maybe a conflict of cultural-level rules- a friendly Vietnamese and a defensive, protective Singaporean. He probably did not have any ill intentions, which I unconsciously assumed him to have. As I gave it a deeper thought, I realised it was an apt example that showed the stark contrast in the mindset of a foreigner and a local and how culture plays a part in communication.
In a nutshell, it has been an eventful weekend. Many normal everyday events may pass us by without us realising it; it's all up to us to think deeper.

Super Powers~
When a young couple tries to save their marriage by dressing up as super heroes in the bedroom, they end up saving much more than their sex life. Winner of the Jury Prize for Best Narrative Short Film at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.
Anne is lonely. She lives with her mother, has no friends, and is fighting cancer. Her escape from reality exists in the form of The Aviatrix, an intergalactic superhero alter ego who rockets through space to fight the powers of evil on distant planets.
On Archetypes
The superhero genre is also frequently cited as emblematic of archetypal literature.
The young, flawed, and brooding antihero [Spider-Man] became the most widely imitated archetype in the superhero genre since the appearance of Superman.
—Bradford W. Wright, Comic Book Nation: The transformation of Youth Culture in America 212
—Superman on the Couch by Danny Fingeroth 151
Reflections..
A reflection from The Dark Knight..
What is the significance of heroes/superheroes in our culture? Do we need them?
On Marvel vs DC
Another superhero video,this one's a pretty witty critique of the current state of affairs with the Marvel and DC Comics film franchises, and have some especially amusing criticisms of Bryan Singer, who abandoned two films already in pre-production, X-Men: The Last Stand and a remake of Logan's Run, to film Superman Returns. Awesome work by ItsJustSomeRandomGuy.
There's actually 50 odd videos in the series, and all are great. Check them out here.
One notable one is this:
Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC...and I'm Hellboy. A comparison with HellBoy, Dark Horse Comics, not with marvel or DC that has also hit the cinema.

I Love Portable Music
Anyone here owns an ipod?
Last night, I was watching discovery channel and it was showing iPod Revolution. I'm always impressed by the ways Steve Jobs presents any new products by Apple Inc. Yeap, he's always seen in a black top and jeans whenever there's a Macworld Convenference & Expo. With his management style and strong desire, he wants to place Apple and its products at the forefront of the IT industry.
ipod dominated the digital music players sales in the United States, and thousands of accessories are made compatible with the ipod. As Steve said, how Sony had revolutionized this industry with the Sony Walkman 20 years ago, the revolution will now be carried on by Apple ipod.
ipod is indeed successful and new generations just kept launching. Fans of ipod would make their own ipod commercials. The fans' webpage shows how fans have designed the new generations of ipod according to how they think the new ipods will be. Photos taken anywhere with an ipod were uploaded by ipod owners too.
you know, while watching this programme, i felt like getting an iPod. XD
but hey, i still love my sony walkwan and i will continue using it =p
Cheers,
Seow Ying
