Photobucket
now she's so messed up. but she is still
my favourite singer, in fact,one of the best singers of our time.


she punched a fan last week.lol.

everyone's caomparing her now and then.where she used to voluptous and healthy and now unhealthy,skinny evidently caused by drug abuse and the missing her husband too much(who's in jail btw). everyone' predicting her death like how its was with anna nicole smith. you guys think im gonna rain on you guys with communication studies, but i won't, i will let you off since its the last post<3

i just hope that amy won't die so soon, at least make a few more albums before dying. seriously, i don't want anymore imitations like duffy or adele, AMY WINHOUSE IS THE REAL DEAL!

you Americanized yet?

Photobucket
house from beverly hills. haha. yahoo and its darn search engine.

okayokay, lot of ya'll wanna stay in a place like this ehy, preferably beverly hills. uh huh uh huh. but who's and what gots you all getting into this whole thinking? what is it that got you all fired up to have the fabulous lifestyle, wearing nice clothes, drinking wine and eating caviar? let me refresh you.



her? (kimora lee simmons)

Photobucket
them?

Photobucket
him?

Photobucket
this? (is this fake?)lol.

Not saying that it right or wrong, but i think Asia's youth,
Singapore's, especially are being highly influenced by this
whole beverly hills, posh, party every week kind
of lifestyle. It is definitely a whole different culture introduced
to the asian context fro m the westerners. Wednesday night
used to be stay-home watch tv do homework go sleep night.
Now it's lady's night, go party with your friends night.
I can say that because the television programmes we have
is dominated by American shows and these "values" are passed
on to our nation and of course the first to catch this cold would
be our youths, because youths are the ones finding who they are,
experimenting, highly being influenced. They find it cool.
(but im one of them so whatever)

However there are things that are controversial about our media
being dominated by American programmes. Some say it is good
because we should be more open like America or we should see
more outside of Asia. On the other hand, some say its bad because
of the negative influences brought on.

Hey, im not gonna forget our mass comm term for this.
Hello, its cultural imperialism for you. okay. background.

Cultural imperialism is the one-way flow of international messages or media products, especially news and television flows, from a few metropolises that has led to the dispute over cultural dominance.

ah,we've been f*ked up by tv. and i'm one who is going to admit it,
i know that im losing my chinese roots by the minute and
its like english is my mother tongue. and the values, oh my tian,
i don't even want to go there.i'm glad i have parents who keeps
me grounded.

so,you americanized yet??
