Feeling: deep in thought :D
Song: Si Kao/ Stella Huang
some 8 days articles really get me thinking a lot sometimes.
the latest 8 days issue, the one with jessica liu and the logo tattoos as the cover, has something about celebs going crazy, smashing reporters and all that. yeah, including britney. duh. haha.
actually, i really pity her. it’s quite obvious that the reason she’s “mentally unsound” now is because of reporters “invading” her life. every celeb goes through that. jj once said in army they bathed together, but he didn’t mind since everyone had to go through it too, and reporters said “he once bathed with others, and what’s more the people he bathed with were not female.” so like implying he’s gay lah.
and i guess britney couldn’t cope with all that, so she went to the “extreme” lor. actually i’d have done the same if i were her. i hate paparazzi. they anyhow make up stories that people are so stupid to believe, all for money.

another article, “faked in china” (pg 26). The article was about the people in china putting stuff into their food to make it sell better, causing illnesses and blah. it said that “No one complained about the $25 ‘Prada bags’, the $40 ‘iPods’, or the $1 copies of The Departed on sale in push-carts.. People only protest when babies start turning blue.”
people only care about whether the stuff you eat is fake or not. how about stuff like music? i know a lot of people who buy pirated CDs to save money. when you do these, you’re not giving the artiste recognition for all the hard work he put into making just one good song (let alone an album), you’re not respecting the singer. ok, i know i occasionally ask my friends to send me songs like Wang Zi and Re Dai Yu Lin as well, so i’m at fault too, but at least i try not to burn whole CDs lah. and i NEVER ever will buy a pirated CD.
it’s like, what if you stayed up till 3am to finish a maths problem, and the next day at school you see your answers photocopied and distributed to the whole class? how would you feel? or if you just composed damn nice lyrics to a song and feel so proud of it, and someone steals it and takes it as her own? it’s copyrighted, you’re not giving the person the respect he/she deserves.
some ppl will say i’m this stuff i think about so deeply is useless and i should apply these skills to science homework, but really, this is terrible stuff that happens everyday but noone takes notice of.
