Since I've made up my mind and gotten myself a weblog. I was thinking to put up some chinese writings, which I hand-wrote during college years in my little 'bible'. I found out this one, given the title "Are Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorced?". Now, don't bash me!! This was written back in my 4th year of College *using my fingers to work out how many years ago*. Okay, that would be back in 2001, to be precise 4 years ago! Whoo-hoo, am I a fortune-teller or a some kind of psychic as this couple was truly divorced sometime last year or early this year? Well, if I were, then do you think I'll be blabbing with you free of charge and living my simplest lifestyle as a poor student right now? LOL
This chinese article was written right after one of the usual dinner evenings together with my housemate at that time, YL, who was a combined degree Law and Commerce student, who also paid a lot of attention in catching up current affairs and of course entertainment news. Before I post up our little convo up in chinese (which was written 4 years ago, yes I have to emphasize enough), I'd briefly summarized the content, in case AA will buzz me to translate the whole thing into english later. *Ooouch, I'm sorry, no offence, AA*.
The story goes like this...my housemate then, YL was telling me many of her friends hardly picked up the newspapers to check out what was happening in the world. Since YL was the only one who read newspapers and watched the daily newsreports on TV, her friends relied on her heavily to update them with news headlines. One day, while YL was doing the usual 'news report' to her buddies, which went something like "8th Grade Earthquake hits AAA, X people died and Y injuries.", "Civil war in BBB." etc...all her friends were not bothered at all and continued to babble. Seing such response from her friends, the cheeky YL burst out another sentence while reading the headlines "Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were divorced." Just after the last word, all her friends paused and started screaming. "What did you say?" "Is that true?" "How could it happen?" All questions were thrown to YL and she burst out into laughter and gazed at them. "Of course....I made it all up!"
I am indeed very grateful to YL, who shared this little incident up later in that evening. There are many of us who are actually not paying enough attention to the earth we are residing. We are just too self-centred. Some may be aware of some happenings in the world, but not showing enough concern to do our parts in helping. Most of us focus too much on the Hollywood Bollywood e-news, thus has greatly lifted and expanded the paparazi professions. Haven't you realized that the e-news column in the newspapers of all languages have been further extended, at least in the majority of the newspapers?
Well, I admit that I do read e-news and flip through e-magazines quite often. But I do that just for relaxation. Who really cares who goes out with who, who calls for a divorce, who is pregnant?? Blah. It is none of our business. These stars are only there to be good in their jobs in making excellent movies, songs, whatver entertaining productions for us. They have their own personal lives to deal with and we do not have any rights to interfere or judge. So why bother spending time in checking up other people's lives, in fact we have so much we have to take care of for ourselves? Believe me or not, I prefer substance and I do care and love this planet that I'm living. *smirk*

Brad Pitt 和 Jennifer Aniston 离婚?
与屋友闲聊是一种享受。平时大家上课时间不同，唯有在晚餐聚在餐桌才能彼此沟通交流。
那时，我并没有每天阅读报的习惯。最大原因是懒惰，再次就是我个人比较是个母语拥护者，比较爱看华文报。所以我以前在祖国生活或回国度假时，都有每天看报的。
屋友是个念商学院和法律双学位的大四生。她本人是很留意事实动态的。所以，虽然我这个大懒虫不阅报，可不代表我不关心世界大事。因为我时常乘着和她闲聊时顺口问她一周里所发生的世界大事。她从不负我望，每次都一一告知。
有 天晚餐，屋友提及她也有几个朋友很少阅抱。每当她们和她聚在一次时，看到屋友在翻报，就随口要她把报上的标题念出来。于是，屋友也一一把标题读出来。 “某某国家发生八级地震，X人死，Y人伤。”，“某国发生内战。”等世界大事标题。她的朋友听后若无其事。当然，屋友接着也很尽责的报道了些娱乐新闻。 “BRAD ＰＩＴＴ 和 ＪＥＮNＩＦＥＲ ＡＮＩＳＴＯＮ 离婚了” 话没说完，她的朋友们一一起轰，有的甚至大喊起来。“什么？” “是真的吗？” “唉呀，怎么会这样？” 这时候，，屋友不禁大笑起来，瞪了朋友们一眼说：“当然是.....假的！”
故事分享到这里，我和屋友都觉得现在的人对世界大事都漠不关心，有的就算是关心，也不会特别注意事情的演变和进展。现在的人反而对别人的闲话家事比较感兴趣。这也解释了为何狗仔队日渐盛行和各大报章的娱乐版逐渐扩大。
其实，我并不徘彻看娱乐新闻。但是，并不主张对它们过度关注，毕竟那只是生活中一小部分的娱乐点缀品。生活上还有许多事情值得我们去关心和留意的，因为我们是社会的一份子，也是同样的居住在这个地球村。如果我们都不关心自己的切身问题，谁还会呢？ （草于2001年M城）
