Barney, Teletubbies and Whatnots

People of my generation will probably have heard of kiddy shows like Barney, the Teletubbies, Sesame Street, Electric Company and many others. While all these shows are great and meant to improve a child's knowledge from many aspects, there some shows which I can never and will never ever stand.

Any guess which ones they are? LOL.
I particularly dislike Barney and his 'cheerful' voice. Hate his purple body and that big fat tail. He's one irritating dinosaur. Remember the song, Barney always sings in every episode? The I love you song? Well, there must be a lot of anti-Barney people out there. So much so, they came up with this song.

"I hate you, you hate me,
Let's gang up to kill Barney,
With a big bang bang,
Barney's on the floor,
No more purple dinosaur."
(Sung to the tune of the original Barney song.)

There are actually a few other versions, but I think it's a bit offensive to put it here.


The other irritating characters on kiddy shows that irk me, are the Teletubbies. I have no idea why some people say they are cute. Oh right.... cute equals adorable but ugly right? Haha. I have only watched a few episodes, so my judgment maybe biased. I have no idea what the symbols on the Tubbies head are for. Communication? (some sort of aerial thingie I suppose) What's with the tummies on them? You could at least call them Teletummies. Heh. Fat bunch of colourful blubbers. I am mean... LOL. Whatever it is, I find them gross.

It doesn't help when people like me, come across pictures like this.




Those guys had better not think of wearing this for Halloween. I certainly do not want to think about what other people will do to them.

Ya dear kath, totally agree with you. I don't like telletubbies as well... Perhaps I don't like those programmes that using the big big animal costumes... Feel a bit scary... I also dun like barbie dolls with big big eyes as well, reminding me one show when I watched when I was young... But couldnt really recall what the show is as I was kinda small at that time

Hahah. Hey I actually recall you being scared of these kinda big animal costumes. Not sure whether you told me before, or someone mentioned it to me.

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
