It's the end of an era, but it's not the end of an empire

Hmm today there was the Bertrand Lee film screening thingy and the swearing in.

First of all I'd like to comment on the the Bertrand Lee film trisaw or summat, it was a genuine film which definitely most Singaporeans can relate to. How many times you've seen a trishaw rider going around aimlessly and thinking who the hell would want to ride that, take bus/taxi whatever, much more comfortable etc etc. And then there was another scene which reminded me of the lottery, Old Man Warner and all that tradition etc, that was where the guy did not want to change the bicycle even though the spokes where obviously bent and twisted. And the sheer determination of the guy to prove that trishaw is still better than any other modern vehicle by riding the stupid little thing as ghard as he could. It was definitely quite touching, eh actually no but I couldn';t find a better word. It was a pretty good film in all but I think the major flaw is that each small scene conveys a message but then there is simply no main theme for the film, which is defnitely not a good thing. I think the Bertrand Lee is quite a talented young man but then unfortunately the accident happeened. And sorry for the lack of any paragraphing.

And then the swearing in, quote neutral about it, not raelly excited or anything tbh, now that I am a fully fledged cadet. Don't really see the difference ebtween before and now. But after 6 months of acclimsiation (sp) I tihnk we deffo need to imrpvoe and I definitely think we can do it.

That's about itfor today IO guess
