Allow children to be happy in their own way, for what better way will they find?

Josh had been attending school for almost three weeks now, and there hasn’t been a day wherein I’m not worried that he might have done something naughty with his classmates. As of now, we already got two calls from his teacher.

He’s such an over-zealous boy, especially, because he doesn’t have many playmates at home except us, adults. So whenever he meets new kids, and takes a fancy over one kid, he could be quiet obsessive (or possessive) with this new friend. He’d follow wherever this kid would go to – even take the kid’s hand and drag her all around with him. And if this kid doesn’t listen to what he’s got to say (which is, in fact, incomprehensible), Josh would grab hold of this kid’s face to make her look at him. He’s annoying, isn’t he?

This is one problem his teacher normally encounters, and she sometimes had to separate the two: much to the annoyance of Josh and a relief to the other kid. Well, I told the teacher to give Josh sometime to get use to having a lot of kids around him and he’ll soon get over it (hopefully!).

Here are some pictures taken during his orientation day and some by his teacher during class.

Frozen

It was always never easy; who ever said that is was? When the hour is upon you, and you felt the beauty all around you suddenly fades, you begin to numb. You begin to lose your place: everything passes you by.

You are at a place you know nothing about, without knowing how you got there. In silence, you screamed and laughed at the mystery of it all. You are broken and frozen in history. How could it have happened? You were stripped of the memories of yesterdays, but you know that they were all that you have.

And then you begin to question whether you are still real or but an illusion. You are getting colder.

Goblet of Fire in DVD

I still haven’t seen Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in IMAX, yet news of the DVD release was already revealed. You can buy your copy starting March 7. Isn’t that fast? I guess they now release the DVD versions as fast as they could to curb the pirated copies made from the theater release.

Here’s the promo ad that you’ll soon see on your TV screens.

And if you don’t have the previous three movies, and want to start you collection, why don’t you try the years 1-4 box edition. It’s an 8-disc DVD set.

Do you have a big bosom (tits, boobies, chest or knockers), a wafer-thin waist, and a pert bum? If you don’t have a job and would like to earn some dollars, Hooters Singapore is looking for you. I just saw an ad yesterday at the local paper and it caught my attention.

And, oh, last time I was in Hooters at Clark Quay, I think you also need to have skills with the hoola-hoop. You may want to check this out, too.

Best Movies of 2005

Here’s the list of movies for 2005 that belong to the top ten list of Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper:

1. Syriana
2. The New World
3. Crash
4. Munich
5. Junebug
6. Nine Lives
7. Me and You and Everyone We Know
8. Capote
9. Brokeback Mountain
10. King Kong
11. A History of Violence
12. Walk the Line
13. Yes
14. Millions
15. The 40-Year-Old Virgin

Out of the fifteen on the list, I’ve only seen one (King Kong). It wasn’t even on both lists nor did it made to the very top – a paltry eighth place. It could be because some of these films aren’t screened yet in the Singapore theatres or weren’t even allowed here at all. I, however, wanted to see The 40-Year-Old Virgin and A History of Violence, but my viewing partner doesn’t like the sound of their titles much.

I’d be on the lookout for these titles on our local theatre listings or checkout the DVD stores. Check them out yourself.
