We basically had a pretty much relaxed day. Although we only had a 2 hr maths lesson, we did not leave school until 2pm. After the lesson, we all adjourned to the 'suite' (library 3rd flr where the sofas r really comfortable) to finish up the remaining questions for friday's quiz. This topic is quite challenging n it is what we will teach the pri sch kids.

I came home at abt 3 plus or so n had a rest b4 heading out for a run. Saw a couple of students enjoying themselves by playing basketball. Was very tempted to run further but decided not to in the end as i had to pick Angela from school. She is busy with her students work as this is the time of the year where the teachers will have to get their student's individual portfolio ready.

At this pt in posting, the Project SuperStar season 2 has just started. B4 i go on, let me make things clear. What i m going to say are purely my opinions n thoughts. It is not targeted at anyone so pls dun turn my tagboard into a World War 3!!

I find these reality shows rather dumb n purely a form of publicity for the organisers, sponsors n of course the TV station. N most of the people who take part or shld i say try to get in have a mind of trying to take a short cut towards getting popular. Regardless what they say abt chasing your dreams or whatsoever, i must say tt there is no short cut to success. These pple who think tt by joining this contest bcos they think tt it is a short cut r just being very immature n naive. Even if they can get to become the Sg Idol or SuperHost, how long can they last? In the entertainment industry, there is stg called 'shelf live'.

N when u watch the audition process, some of these idol or superstar hopefuls r a wash-out. They cannot sing for nuts, they cannot speak fluently, they got poor EQ skills n worst of all when they r told by the judges tt they cannot move onto the next round, some of them still dare to argue with the judges. What poor sportsmanship they got.

Then comes to the voting part. I m very dismayed to see that those who r genuinely gd get voted out quite often thus leaving only those seemingly popular but 'simply cannot make it' ones! For eg: in the Sg Idol, some do not deserve even to get past the top12 but they do just bcos their supportes vote for them blindly. As judge Ken Lim mentioned b4, Sporeans shld vote wisely. He mentioned b4 tt they shld vote based on their talents n not bcos the contestant is their friends.

So tt is y i think pple shld vote wisely for those who have the calibre n can 'walk-the-walk, talk-the-talk'. This goes the same when choosing our leaders.

Once again, i stress tt these r my thoughts n my opinions.
