its not too late!

I know this is kinda late, but here it is anyways.

Here are your interview questions:

1. How many screen names do you have?

Hmmm. there’s Ben, Blen, theLJs.BeN, [ theDICKS ] BeN, and last but not least, Sianzationalisticallism. Well, the origins of these are rather stupid and lame but I’m quite proud with one of them. That would be Sianzationalisticallism. I came up with this word that NO ONE in this world has though of. It started with Sian, meaning bored in a dialect and spelling it out the way it is pronounced. Then, combining it with the word ‘sensation’, forming Sianzation. Therefore, that makes one Sianzational. Of course, that’s rather Sianzationalistic don’t you see? At last, touching it up with what I learnt in art, art movements. There’s the expressionism, impressionism, post impresstionism, the fauvism, and others, all the isms. Thus the ultimate creation of, Sianzationalisticallism.

2. If you were to run a small island dictatorship, what rules would be different from Singapore?

This is a difficult questions. I don’t think of this kinda things much. I’m the sort of person that really suck at having leadership jobs. In case I screw anything up, I’m steering clear of them.

If there is something that I really must think of, its probably lifting the law of no selling of alcohol to people under the age of 18.

3. Do you remember your nightmares?

Nope. I cant really remember the last nightmare I had. Probably the one on the day before the release of O levels results, I dreamt that I scored 54 points to my horror.

4. Have you been in a fistfight? If so, did you win or lose?

No. I stay away from trouble, except the troubles where I don’t hand up homework and stuffs like that.

5. Dieting or exercise: explain your preference.

Exercise. It is cheaper and benefits your body. Not to mention that it is a longer process.

Here are the rules for you to post….

1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by e-mailing you five questions. I get to pick them, and you have to answer them all.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Anyway again, back on track. This week’s reflections. I revisited Band of Brothers. Wonderful show I would say, if you can stand the blood and gore violence. I especially liked part 1 : Currahee, where the soldiers of Easy company were being trained to be the best of the paratroopers. And they have a commanding officer, Sobel, who is a total son of a b*tch and is very demanding of the company. From his point of view we realize that he is trying to train easy company to be the best they could be and was very proud of them, whereas the soldiers hated him. The comical part was that Sobel was an elite in physical training but is a complete noob when it comes to field combat. He cant read the map and gets the company lost in the woods. That was the part before the war, when there wasn’t any bloodshed at all.

As the show progresses, I’m currently at part 6: Bastogne, comrades dies one after another, its no wonder how all of them become so close with one another. There is this very interesting quote said by Captain Winters when the land force were retreating and having the airborne paratroopers to take their places. The land force was warning them that the enemy comes from all sides and that they would be surrounded. Winters immediately replies: “We are paratroopers, we are supposed to be surrounded.” I thought that it was a very true comment.

Lastly, for the coming Saturdays, I would be going out for basketball trainings, on my own. I’m not going with the team for awhile. It is to brush up skills before I rejoin the team. I would then check back with them once every month to see if there is any improvement made. All this is done just so that we could break our losing streak. With that, I think I’m ending off here.
