WHAT THA TALKING BOX??
i didn't know televisions can have such big influence towards KIDS!!! it's so HUGE that it scares *me*....
i have a few cousins, aged from 5 to 10 who talks exactly like those cartoon characters i see in Disney or Nickelodeon. though i find that kiut, but sometimes it sorta disturbs *me*....why? for one, coz my kiuuuuutest and most cuddly cousin sister is speaking like that chick from Totally Spies!......i hate that show.
yesterday, my sister came running to *me* and pulled my shirt with frustration and anger and shouted, "i ALMOST WON A PHONE!!! i call call call but another guy answered it! AARRRGGHHHH!! che' ahh....." (che' means elder sister in cantonese)
my reaction, was of course, "you CRAZY ah?? all these tv games are money coners la. my GUUDNEESSS jo (jo is my sis' nickname), how can you be so silly??"
well, she didn't bother about *me*. she just walk out of my room and kept complaining about how she could win the phone for about half an hour. she's babbling to herself...like a woman who lost all her shares or something. it scared *me* alright.
about 5 minutes ago, while i was doing my physics assignment, my brother came rushing out of his room, with his hair all messed up. he just got up i'm certain. he went into my sister's room and minutes later, he stormed out. went into his room and slammed the door. came to my room and asked *me* this in a very raging manner, "che', can i borrow your phone??"
first thing that came to my mind was that he wants FOOD (he always wants FOOD) and that he wanna call my mom. but i asked him back anyhow, "why?"
then he gave *me* the most ridiculous answer, "i want to call the TV.......I WANT TO WIN A PHONE!!". for a second there i thought he would kill *me* if i hadn't surrender my phone to him. he sounded like a REALLY desperate man who wants out. or like an angry indian lady who asked for donation in "Char Chan Teng" in SS2. yes. ANGRY lady. it was....horrifying.
so, yeah. it's really scary how the talking box can.....disturb kids' minds so much. i don't know how to stop them. they are like druggies....or or gamblers....they are screaming and yelling like hooligans in my mom's room right now, trying to win a phone. SIGH~
i'll never let my kids watch TV....

Once upon a time there was a cow. Yes. A cow. And this cow had a friend. Friend was a sheep. See, both of them were green. In that place they lived in, all things were made green. The mushrooms, the potato land, the trees, the mosquitoes. And suddenly came down a star, CRASHING down to their planet, and ALL things became kalerful! And that star was ME. Rachelli. Ngyahahaha. *Scwoll down pwease*
