Stomach Flu Again!

Had close to 8 hours of sleep last night. Satisfying sleep? You bet. It was even better to witness the victory Chelsea had over Manchester City. One word to describe it. Sweet.

I personally detest a one horse or two horse title race. To me, it just spoils the whole meaning of competition. What is the point when you only have two teams which have the quality to challenge for the league title? Take a look at the Spanish League. In the past, they have teams like Valencia or Athletico Madrid to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona. Right now, the whole league seems to be centered around Real and Barca. It really dilutes the whole attraction of the league.

Enough of football. Today was a day like any other. After the Chelsea-Manc match, it is time for the Straits Times and my breakfast. Soon after, I switch on MioTV to watch the latest episodes of the Channel 8 dramas, Code of Honour and A Song to Remember. There are many people who like to criticise local productions and I have no idea why. The quality of local productions can never meet the standards that their overseas counterpart but I do see an improvement over the years. For example, M complained that a particular scene in the Code of Honour was too exaggerated. In that scene, Elvin Ng stayed in the air for approximately 10 seconds and within that time, he managed to execute some Kung Fu moves that resembled that of Ong Bak. People starts to say that this is a pack of bullshit and that Singapore productions are nonsensical.  If that is the case, why do these critics bother to watch Ong Bak or Hong Kong Kung Fu movies? What make these overseas productions better than the local ones? Just because such fighting scenes originated from them? 

There has always been this saying that, "If locals don't even want to help the local people, how then can the locals survive?". This phrase has been deeply etched in my mind, and I strongly feel that this is the reason why people fail to return to their roots and always look up to foreigners. Really detest such attitude, but what can I do? An individual's fight is impossible to repel the forces of globalization.

I can only hope for the change. Why? I don't like the way you are commenting on stuff. It feels very constrictive. Hopefully, you get what I truly mean and not misconstrue it...
