I love weekends, no qualms about it. Weekends give me the time to do all the things that i want to do. To read, swim, jog, do work, and most importantly… Rest!
Recently, i got hooked up with Harry Potter books. I started with the Philosopher’s stone a few days ago. The main reason that i dislike the movies is because i haven’t been into it and i won’t be really understand what it is truly about.
One bad thing about those movies made out of JK Rowling’s works are that they restrict your flow of imagination. Its just like fixing your brain to this particular scene and character u see in the movie. Without the movie, you version of Harry would definitely not be like what it is in the movie; Daniel Radcliffe.
Though the director does it in a way that try to go with accordance with the descriptions in the book, there are bound to be flaws and misinterpretations, or here and there. So, read the book, then watch the movie.

Its Singapore’s National Day in about 3 days time. Which means.. Holidays are coming
As you know, its part of the tradition that we Singaporeans hang our national flag outside our balcony during the period of National Day. Is that really a scene of patriotism, or is it only just for show?

Why the argument about placing the flags for a longer period of time, let’s say till September or October. People will start to point finger about you not keeping the flag when “National Day Period” is over.
In the States and Australia, families place their national flag out in their yard everyday. The sense of nationalism that one can feel from them is definitely different from what it is in Singapore.
So in the nutshell, are we really people that don’t feel towards our nation?
In my point of view, i think that to a certain extent we do feel for our country. We all know that the 42 years of independence was no easy feat. However, the kind of society that Singapore posses has mould us into people who think for ourselves first before anything. If we don’t do that, we can never fight for survival in such a competitive society.
Hence, we have made our first priority as making money and making sure that we can be successful in life. I can’t be sure that this applies to everyone, but it certainly is for the majorities.
We can’t complain much, for this is the path that we have chosen. Blame it on fate if you do feel really helpless about it.
Meanwhile, endure the 2 more days before its a long holiday again..
