Mambo jambo

This week/holiday/past month has been crazy. So many thoughts run through the head, so little time to ponder about them. Anyway, I shall try to collect them now, where ever they have run off to, and to get them down.

1. Blessings
I don't really get why suddenly its as though my whole family has been blessed. Not in small amounts, in a much bigger quantity. My parents have been receiving gifts for the house from friends - steamer, sound system, DVD player, oven, fax machine. And me? Job offer after job offer. First was Maxsphere from Farid, then Senses through Aunty Doris and now Nine-V from Henry. And Lee Lian has just asked me to do part time, more subtitling. I really wonder why all of a sudden. Oh yeah, while working for Senses I actually had another call from Maxsphere. Can you believe?

2. Celebrity "attacks"
Well, there have been some scandals, some dramas, some whackos out in the world of glitz and glamour - Hollywood and the media industry.

- Britney Spears' attempt at a come back at the MTV VMA
- Vanessa Hudgens from Disney's High School Musical's furore
- Lindsey Lohan's upside down tango with rehab

I believe in some cases, the media should let it rest for awhile, let the celeb get time to get a hold of themselves. Britney's been in the scrutiny for quite some time now. I think that its somewhat of a nasty cycle. She's sunk low, the media scrutinises and criticises her. She needs to prove herself, redeem her image. So she attempts something, doesn't work out right and she gets criticised again. Why does the media criticise her so, and follow her in such a tabloid manner? For the inside scoop? For something to talk about? Its all about sales and little regard for someone's personal life. That girl need some time alone to think about what she wants to do to salvage her life. She needs to think about her kids, her financial future. Sure, come back may bring that but what's the use if its a desperate attempt? It'd be better to produce something that you would be proud of, something you can take time and put in effort to make it good.

Lindsey, however, is on the other side of the spectrum I feel. I feel as though she's been given several chances over, but she just seems to blow every chance as though its a useless piece of waste paper. She too, could do with some time alone to rethink about her life. However, unlike Britney, she seems to want to be in the limelight.

**The above thoughts are purely my opinion**

3. What's in a name?
Have you wondered how many different names you are called? Probably if you have a Chinese name and only a Chinese name, you'd be called the same name all the time. Not abbreviated versions of some name. I just find it interesting the number of ways people can call your name.
