Disney owns Lucasflim

Unexpectedly, someone told me that Disney bought over the Star Wars franchise. I thought could it be another fake news? Unfortunately it is real. Major websites are reporting it. Disney bought over Lucasflim. There are good news though. For die hard fans, expect more movies to be out. What what kind of storylines? It will never be the same without the original Luke Skywalker and Hansolo actors. The bad news will probably be that Siths and Jedis may not use excessive violence anymore. Less planetary invasions with tons of troopers. Expect more kiddy adventures from C3PO, R2D2, Ewoks and maybe Jar Jar Bink. Marvel is an example.

Road crossing can still be dangerous

Crossing the roads even when the lights are green for pedestrian can still be quite dangerous. Recently I witness while people are still crossing, one car started to drive pass. Such reckless driver should be jailed with fine and also ban from driving. Ultimately we have to be on alert at all times, never to assume that everyone sticks to the rules.

Think before ranting.

The recent case of "racial" posting by a high rank union person sparks comments from everyone. Next she made apologies for her postings. Would making apologies be enough to put out the fire started by one dumb post? She of all people should be educated enough to know what not to post. She got the "Donald Trump" word and action of the day - "You're fired!" and now she had to go oversea to hide while someone even made police report against her. Will this be a lesson to anyone else wanting to post without thinking straight? In time, this will be forgotten and the cycle will start again. This posting isn't the first and won't be the last. There must always be tolerant in our society.

I am not talking about grass if you understand the text

Is grass at the other side greener? This saying have been used by people who have been admiring their peers at the other side, having done so well. However as time goes, we all get to know the real meaning of the grass, it looks greener but there is a hidden view. Our peer from the other side also admires the green grass which we are holding. But they doesn't know or understand the problems that we faces, nor do they relate their problems to us, at least not with details, or no one will understand until we get the taste of it. So having green grass may not be good. If that is the case does that mean we aim our side to a new site of grass patch? Every green grass patch have their own hidden rotten side. We should be grateful to the grass that we have, at least if we could still holding it, tries to hold it with some positive view. Crossing to the greener patch maybe even more worse than what you get in your original grass. Always take things with a positive view. Never get angry at things going bad. It ain't life treathening nor will it causes you to go bust since it isn't a casino. Everything will work out fine, else you could still leave the grass patch. But that will only be the last option as finding a new grass patch may not be as good as your old grass patch so leave it for the new patch if you really can't hold on to it.

Thumbs up for minister support.

Since last month the news of the hair cut teacher made waves when the overreacting parent made police report of it, the Education minister finally official spoke in agreement with the teacher. He explained that after numerous reminders that the teacher decide to take such action. Read from the Chinese article to better understand. From the previous news report when it first happened, I feel the principal did not gives their support to the teacher. The teacher even have to apologize and having police report made against her. Without proper support from the principal, how to you expect the teachers to stay long under your care as well, how to expect good students of upbringing, further more these students will be the future leaders of our country. Learning methods from the past is never be the past. They are effective then they are effective now without all the high tech gadgets and all the welfare treatment nonsenses.

different treatment for winners

After reading the letter column in the Straits Times, someone pointed out that the prize awards for Paralympic medals winners was much different from the Olympic, as well the from the last Paralympic. While I am sure the athletics would feel it to be an honor to represent the country to participate, but the question here is that why such big differences? Perhaps we can't group both event with the same status but such a big can't seem to justify without some explanations.

Pearl's Centre will be affected by the new MRT planning

The new MRT line is beginning with the planning and as usual more "casualties". One of them is the current Pearl's Center. While I agree the center is nothing much interesting, there is some better part that is the atmosphere and the people. The feel is there and when it is gone it is like something missing from Chinatown. Also the cinema which is the one of its kind will also be gone. It seems inevitable that the building will be demolished, hopefully some of those shops and establishments be move to another nearby building.
