No more watching Big Brother! Wheeeeeee!!
To future Summer Semester Programme juniors, I'm not trying to scare anyone off but start watching Big Brother UK now on the Internet to familiarise yourself with the various English accent =) If Ethics is still in the curriculum (how do you spell this lah?!) lah, which I think it will be.
If you're a reality TV addict then you shouldn't have any problems with the show format. Personally it's fun but Charlie's (one of the contestant) accent just kills my mood.
If you don't know what it's all about, well, it's a group of selected people from all over UK living together in a house and each week, they will nominate some people for eviction, and the public will decide who gets the boot outta the house.
Sounds boring?
Well not really. The housemates fight a lot. Foul languages are not censored. There's love triangles. Couple years ago some housemates had sex under the duvets. And there's the racism bullying.
Still not convinced?
Either way when you're here you'd be watching it =)

Curtain call
The Liverpool Odyssey is coming to an end. I don't want to go home. I'm not ready. How bittersweet it is to spend the next 12 days oggling at horrible journals and senseless critical analysis. But put those aside and you'll see why life in Liverpool has been splendid!.
Fabulous tablemates. Eling, Sharon & Xiao Ren, thanks for everything!

Sex?!
In Zoe's seminar today we were discussing about the effects of reality TV shows on the contestants, and I figured, well, if I did get voted out I'll be sad. So I said one word "sad" which we Malaysians pronounce it "sed"
But Zoe somehow heard "sex". Apparently the British emphasizes the "A", so "sad" becomes "saad". Okay at least I won't be embarrass myself in public.
