have U eveR wondered how can THings on tv, on a burnt disc, on a pc can affEct someOne this much?? i'm still woNdEring...

do u remember the time in school.... when we had to write essays? be it in bm or even in english or mandarin or tamil.... did u ever come across writing an essay that had a title kesan kesan menonton tv or maybe the negative effects that 24 hour satelite tv poses? where u write about how budaya kuning potrayed in the tv,movies and entertainment industry coming to our shores affect the youth,.. budaya kuning in the sense of violence, sex and everything bad( as perceived by some but there may be disputes to this stand) ... i'm sure somewhere along the line during our spm years? or maybe pmr....that some of us have come across this topic and somehow never had any problem writing bout it ... where we had to write the cause,effect, and ways to overcome it... there was just so many points lingering in everyone's head... cause? the censorship board not strict enough.... effect? youths get influenced by the sex,violence and fall into the cracks... ways to overcome? proper screening process for certain movies ,series that come to our beloved country.. However if u ask me ....the TV... the movies... the series... the dramas... the music videos... the cartoons( maybe the cartoons just make me laugh ok) ... they have somehow influenced me in a way that somehow i feel ppl around me cant really do at times.... Have u felt tat after u watched a certain show on tv that u feel u want to better yourself? felt that what u're doin is somehow not right or u're not doin enough? feel u should have said things tat u didnt say? wonder how the characters in it connect to u somehow?? ... I can honestly tell u , I have... call me a tv junkie,movie junkie, series junkie... fine ... couldnt care less.. basically i was just watching this show called Grey's anatomy...sure quite a few have heard of it... but there's something bout this show that pulls me... the mix of emotions.. pain,happiness, determination, failure, success,betrayal , sadness,trust, belief and the all time favourite? love.... it just gets to me... i somehow feel after every episode that there's something bout me that i wanna make right...if i hadnt done something that i should have.. i must do it... do the right thing... make the right choices...making choices isnt hard ..it's just painful...if its not painful it's not hard... appreciate ppl more... not take ppl or things for granted as things can change in an instant...make the most out of things..u dont get second chances most of the time..unless u're lucky... what i feel is that these shows have somehow made me a better person..although i cant really be a judge of that.. but still... sometimes when change occurs to u... u're the first one to feel it... ppl dont need to tell u for u to know it... inspirational stuff is what this all is.. this kinda shows and movies make a difference..and i salute the actors.. the directors.. all those involved in it.. and the ppl who came up with the idea... heck the might just be in it for the money.. but little did they know , they had an effect on someone.. insignificant as he may be,.. but it can spread..every cloud has a silver lining... another show that kinda made me think.. is a show called My name is Earl....it talks bout karma... cause and effect.. you do good and good shall befall u..vice versa... what goes around comes around.... the show helped me think bout karma and try to understand it..till i think that it exist... never thought bout it this way.. and thus making me want to do things the right way.. Okok... i dont know whether it has affected anyone else this way , this kinda shows and movies... but it has done this to me... and i think it's great... it gives hope sometimes... i know that music has somewhat the same effect.... and i'm a fan of that as well but not as big as a tv or movie fan... it affects me differently...

~proM~ the good In the bad and the aweSomeneSs or tHE downRight terrible eventS ?? althOugh it remains unforgettaBle AnD amazing~

back in the motherland again.... prom's over....holidays have officially started... world cup is heating up...prom was great for me.... but let me put this straight.. the great part had nothing to do with how the prom went on... the organization.. and the plannin of it... entertainment was kinda poor... no offense to my frens performances... some of them were good some not so... but i'm looking at it more to an overall look... there was no flow in the music... it kept shifting from one genre of music to another... for example... at one point there were ppl dancing on the floor,.. the music feel was good and everyone was just movin to the beat,.. then they brought on a band who didnt play music dancable to...it was more to singing along music... and just swaying with rhythm... that kinda sucked...and wats more the lights which were dimmed suddenly came back on... poor poor organization by the commitee... in my opinion... sadly not worth the money..food was quite ok i think... speeches were abit draggin and not interesting..if u wan to make a long speech .. make it funny.. and ppl will actually listen... otherwise just make it sweet and short... now let me tell u the real fun part bout the prom... it was the spending time with ur frens... laughin around ... taking pics ... seeing some of the ppl who'll be leaving soon.. seeing everyone dress so amazingly all for one night... u hardly see everyone wearing this kind of clothes..normally in coll u just see average joes with normal clothes... short pants ,slippers, jeans...but for this one night... it's diff.. the make up.... the accesories.. the suits...the ties... the cufflings... and i daresay everyone looked damn good tat night...basically i had more fun out of the prom hall... haha...weird but it happens and i loved it....next was the after party...,was boring at first....then once the drinks came it all became alrite... everything turned out fine..and there was nothing wrong anymore..hahaha.. the next day mostly everyone was hungover... but it was all fun.... there's one thing that hit me though after the prom... drinking alot now somehow seems pointless to me... drinking socially and all is fine... but then... no more di...control is now in place...why drink so much... u trouble other ppl... trouble yourself.... nothing good comes out of it... ok so u feel a temporary state of "highness" ( is there such a word) .... but does the good outcome of it outweigh the bad side of it?? ..... definitely not.... and i'm sure and i know u can get an even higher feeling of "high" that outweighs drinking from other things .....and i'm not talkin bout weed...thats my opinion... so feel free to drink but with moderation... i will continue but with a limit nowadays... being wasted is not fun at all....
