My brother is a jaw dropper.
He does jaw dropping things to drop our jaws.
Yes, its about him all the time.
Anyway, I heard him play tong hua on the piano.
tong hua leh. Its the JJ lin's tong hua.
Amazing, isn't it.
He heard my other cousin play the song and it took him a
mere day to play it himself. [With my cousin's coaching, duh]
Of course he only uses one hand to play but its still a great feat.
Every single time he does something astonishing like
that it induces tears.
I'm not a sissy but.. yeah.
I look at myself and I look at him, eh if I can start
all over again to be be nurtured properly I'll turn out to be different.
Those who don't have much younger siblings won't know
how it feels like to watch a person in the making.
...
I found a few chilling detrimental impacts from watch too much tv.
'American children and adolescents spend 22 to 28 hours per week
viewing television, more than any other activity except sleeping.
By the age of 70 they will have spent 7 to 10 years of their lives
watching TV.'
Hey asian kids do too.
And they watch more than 28 hours per week;
closer to 50 hours. =0
'If your child watches 3 to 4 hours of noneducational TV per day,
he will have seen about 8,000 murders on TV by the
time he finishes grade school.'
No wonder my brother displays sporadic violent streaks.
I hate watching tv too its such a waste of time.
Unless you're watching HBO, National Geographic, Discovery Channel,
Desperate Housewives, The Wade Robson Project, Project Runway,
The O.C. [Maybe.?], Spongebob.. And of course, the World Cup that everybody
is siao about.
I watch too much tv although I hate it.
But tell me how to resist cable tv.
