Race and Religion

As sensitive as this topic may sound, I would love to touch on this issue.

Many people have asked me what my race or religion is. Some have also asked what it means to me. I shall answer them now.

I do not have a race nor a religion. I am Singaporean, and thus Multi-Racial with a lovely mix of culture and I am a Free-Thinker and a strong believer in God. I respect all religion though I may not like the concept of it.

The word 'race' means NOTHING to me. I maybe a Malay, or an Indian, or even a tinge of chinese, but does it make a difference? What purpose does race have? What difference does it make if I were to tell people I am Malayalee, when I do not practice anything from that culture? There is just no meaning behind it. I guess it's a good thing, to live harmoniously without making Race as a dividing factor.

To me, I feel that religion was created to spread good education and to control people so that we all live harmoniously. Religious practices are good, but however, not many religion has adapted to the 21st century.

Think about it, are words like "Going Against Nature" good preaching? Be naked, live under a tree, in a cave, whatever, have sex with your siblings, eat raw food, wearing clothes, building a house, being loyal and cooking food is definitely going against nature right? So why is being Gay frowned upon when we still do all these? 

I am not saying religion is bad, but people must be able to decide which is good and which is bad for themselves. I feel that being a Christian or a Hindu is ok, but there is no fixed way of following religion.

I became a fan of Free-thinkerism after exploring Buddhism, hinduism, Islam and christianity. Yes, I lived with a Buddhist family, I have hindu friends, I learnt Islam and I was from a Christian School. I have learnt to respect all religion and my friends who believed in it. I feel that everyone of us there should never poke fun at different religious practices and at the same time, respect the culture, even if you do not believe in it. (Unless if it is truely ridiculous) 

What are your views on this people? Are you proud of your race and religion? What meaning does it mean to you?

Slashion Goes Personal

Charlie St. Cloud

This movie is based on the novel "The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud"d, by Ben Sherwood. Zac, who acts as Charlie does a great job at his mature role. This movie concentrates on the special bondings between the brothers.

When Charlie's brother died, Charlie started to live in denial. He knew that his brother did not exist, but he simply refuses to let his feelings go....

I shall not reveal too much of the story line, but overall, I feel that the movie was quite good. The acting was simply excellent. It captures our emotions at the same time. The storyline could be quite confusing, but it is definitely unique to most movies. The director did a great job.

I would give it a rating of 3.5 out of 5. Recommended to watch in cinemas.

Out now for just S$10.50 or less....

Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie Review

Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 3 out of ten, while IMDB gave it a 4.5 out of 10. Thats right people, I am talking about M. Night Shyamalan's latest work, Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie.

To be frank, after reading the review, something told me not to watch the movie as it maybe a waste of Money. However, my asian counterparts were rather stunned by the movie. Most of them gave the movie a rating which is higher than 6.

So, how did the movie really fair? Well, I shall not be generous this time, but frankly, The Last Airbender deserves at least a 7 out of 10. The details in the movie was simply fantastic. The characters lived beyond their expectations, the animations were flawless.

Universal Studios

I have been rather tired to blog lately though. A lot of things seem to be happening and so little time to talk about it. But don't worry, everything has been rather positive by far.

So the big question is: Am I single or attached? To believe or not to believe my Facebook relationship status? Hmmp... :D Thats for you guys to decide though. I believe life should have a little suspense right?

My friends have been asking me to do a post about my experience when I went to Universal Studios and so, that request shall be entertained.

First of all, I went to the Universal Studios, Singapore on the 28th of June 2010. The tickets cost me 66 dollars, but don't worry bout it, every single cent spend is totally worth it. The entrance of Universal Studios may seem to be a bore to some, but once you get in deeper, you would feel as if you have been teleported to a whole new world.

It is true when they say that Fairy Tales exist, or so it may seem. I would not reveal much about my experience though as I feel I may be spoiling the fun. But my advice would be for you guys to go on a weekday. The place would be freaking crowded though.

The rides in the Universal Studios were much better than Escape Theme Park. Each of them has a story. My favourite part was the Revenge of the Mummy's Ride. I went on that ride for 10 times until I nearly puked. It was rather fun though.

Another must try ride would be the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure.

So how much would I rate this place eh? Well, no doubt about the rating, simply a 5/5 from me.
