Chronicles of a Young College Boy

Saturday, August 19, 2006



Wondering wads behind the closed curtain?... Phantom of the Opera!!...heh i watched the musical on wednesday and even though it didnt really measure up to my expectations....its still pretty cool to finally catch the musical i hav been dreaming of watching since i watched the movie itself...well the movie version is definitely more colorful...but the musical on theatre is definitely a classic...a beautiful lead actress...a powerful-voiced lead actor... the drama...the gothic feeling...its just all so nice...the impact is not as impressive as the movie ones though...yea well also bcos its just the voice of the performers live without editing wadsoever...whereas the movie version the impact of the music seemed so powerful bcos of the sound editting and intergration probably...so yea...Phantom of the Opera!!! Now i cant wait for my next musical...Beauty and the Beast...tht one is going to be so cool man...but i want to do my best not to hav such a high expectation when i watch it..as i did in phantom...which leads to a bit of a disappointment...heh...
And then i went to one of the most beautiful and biggest parks in the world...Central Park!...tht place is big man...seriously..they hav a zoo in the park itself..can u imagine a zoo in bishan park?..hahahaha....but yea..as u can see for urself in the pict...the park is really beautiful...i got 2 more picts...they r all uploaded in my friendster account if u guys wanna see...=)...
come to think of it...i hav actually been to quite a few movie sets this summer...like the central park and columbia university....central park played host to one of the scenes in movies like home alone...mr deeds....whereas there are scenes in movies like spiderman 1 and 2 and hitch tht are played in columbia university....pretty cool huh?...its like when i watch the movies i go "Hey i was there!"..haha...

"Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he should be, and he will become what he could be." ...this quote kinda dispel my doubts abt the parents' role in the children's development into a good person..u see..i have always wondered...ppl say "Accept the people around you as who they are."....but then wad if he or she has a personality of a jackass?....of coz a parent shld put the child back in the right direction when he or she is not going the desirable direction...but wad makes the process successful is the delivery of the message...like the type of punishment the child shld receive...if u ask me the child shld receive a punishment thts quick...tht was wad i learnt in psychology too....a punishment is most effective when it is quickly and firmly delivered...all children need boundaries...we also need people to push us from time to time...so as to expand our comfort boundary...=)
