hello. it's been a long time since i've posted. weel, my schedule's been quite full lately. first the new zealand trip, then the SPARKc camp, and the rest of the days peppered with NCC training. and not forgetting the dreadful holiday homework. i just can't seem to complete the two chinese books. and it is because of these two book that i can't get to read other books. i don't like reading two books together, you see. well, the camp was quite fun. not as boring as it was made out to be. but even so, they did not have to treat us like people that never ever read newspaper at all. besides that, the "specific racial group" that i taught would act badly, did not do so. surprisingly, their performance was much better than that of our own kind. not entirely their fault, i guess it's just their poor neighbourhood school environment that moulded them into such simple-minded and ignorant fools. i might be insulting them, but please realise that i'm just using my right to air my views and who can argue with me that i'm speaking the truth? neighbourhood schools, there is such a huge difference between their students and those of better schools. the way they act, speak, think etc. it's so different. but it's not going to change soon, is it? so i guess i will have to bear with these people for the time being. well, what can i post about now? yes. red dragon was on HBO last night. it was a truely magnificent show. i don't know how to describe it but it was real cool. it was basically about this man who thought that he was the red dragon. what's the red dragon? well, it's actually a painting by william blake. the red dragon that the man thought he was, was the red dragon from the painting "the great red dragon and the woman in the sun". the man, basically, was a serial killer that killed the family using mirror shards and he would remove the eyeballs and place mirrors in the sockets and in front of the corpse, torture and bite a remaining woman alive until she died. the movie from the book of the same title by thomas harris. his famous character? Dr Hannibal Lector. the man who was a genius as well as a murderer/cannibal. if you are interested, which i very much doubt, you might like to read the stories by mr harris. the first book is "silence of the lambs", second, "hannibal" and third is of course, "red dragon". well, i'm off to type some e-mails now. see you soon, and feel free to comment on this post. bye.
