This 1 week holiday was too boring for me to post it as journal. Therefore, i posted this journal on cosplay.

Cosplay (kosupure in Japan Pronunciation), a contraction (or portmanteau) of the English words "costume" and "play". This is a Japanese subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga(Japanese word for comics and print cartoons), anime, tokusatsu(Japanese terms for special effects), and video games. As for the least common such as the Japanese live action television shows, fantasy movies, or Japanese pop music bands. However, in some circles, "cosplay" has been expanded to mean simply wearing a costume.
In Japan, "cosplay" as a hobby is usually an end unto itself. Likeminded people gather to see others' costumes, show off their own elaborate handmade creations, take lots of pictures, and possibly participate in best costume contests.

To me cosplay is something that i will not dare to try. Reason being, i do not have the guts to dress in cosplay and walk around Singapore. Firstly, Singaporean are so "fashionable" that they are still not use or ignorant about cosplay. I do not want to go down the streets with eyes on me! Secondly, there are only a small portion of people in Singapore dressing up in cosplay. If i have the guts to dress up in cosplay and walking alone on the entire roads, i think there will be comments on people thinking that i am insane. Thirdly, someone like me who likes to wear T-shirt with skirt wil not get use to dress up in cosplay. Moreover, the costumes will cost a hole in my pocket and getting my fingers as the costumes are handmade. Lastly, as a pessimistic person, i do not think i will look good in any coplay charcaters.

Even though, we may not seen lots of people dressing in cosplay down the road, but there are still lots of people joining now and then. But to my comments, think there are still improvements on Singapore cosplay if we compare the quality of cosplay in Singapore to Japan. But this does not meant that all Japanese cosplayers are up to certain standard.

This is taken from a article, but i had change it to my own words:- Dspite a country being law-abiding, Singaporeans had their first exposure to cosplay, there were still repulsions and attraction:

Playing dress-up is not just for small children -- adults can take it very seriously, too. Singapore's Street Festival had organised a Japanese Anime Character Costume Parade at the Youth Park. It is a hoby that painstacking for cosplayer as they had to choose the right costume for them.There were estimation of 500 cosplayers there, and some say they hope events like these will give Singaporeans more insight into their passion, which they say is a form of art in itself.

So Miss Tan, do you have the guts to be a cosplayers? Sorry for my short passage. But i had tried to compensate by spending quite a long time to find the informations, pictures and the videos. Hope you would like it.

Journal Topic: Our Global City Our Home

2006-08-17T04:38:00.000-07:00

Our Global City, Our Home is this year Singapore 41st Birthday theme.
As a Singaporean, nation birthday meant. Because it is the day we became older and we will be moving on further. To me if i could, i would like to celebrate my birthday with a lot of people because i enjoy the feeling of everyone celebrating for me.

Therefore, i think Singapore would also like everyone to celebrate her birthday for her. As Singaporean celebrating together at the stadium or else where as a family, we are sharing our memories together and watching her become stonger. And i am sure that Singapore will be happy if lots of people celebrate and wish her well.

To me i am proud to be a Singaporean even though there were still people who do not know Singapore and i myself was not too familiar with Singapore too.
And in Singapore, we had our own and unique places which people could not find them in other foriegn countries. Examples are Little Indian, Chinatown and Kampung Glam which were the place where all different races traditionally cultures of india, chinese and malay were all concentrated respectively there. Furthermore, this place are not only visited by thier own races, there were people from other races went there to buy stuff too. Moreover, we Singaporean regarless of races, language or religion, we will supoort each other and live in harmony. And this is what some other countries could not do, as there are news or articles on countries having war over races and religion problems. See, this is what Singapore provide us with. A home which is full of of warmth, safe and stable to live in. One more evidence to it will be there is no war in Singapore, everyone respect each others and when there are troubles such as the Sars, we will overcome it together in no time.

However it hurts when i got to know that Singapore were the last few out of hundreds of countries which is courteous. What a miserable results. People praised Singapore as a clean city with advance technology, but they jeered when it comes to our courteousy. Who will not feel bad? I feel bad. Beaucaus i do not like people to jeer at me. I want them to respect me in ways that they respect our clean and technology. But if we are not going to change the fact that we are not courteous enough, we will forever be jeer by them. Because of the theme, we should give our best if we really want this home to move on foreve and ever.

Zidane's sorry end

2006-07-17T04:43:00.000-07:00

I am sorry that i am not a great fan on world cup nor i am really interested at it. But as i know that Zidane had done somthing as a captain or a sportmen should not do. Disappointment were discribe for the game, but i think there should be more as blaming came into it.

A leader or captain, his role is to lead the team to face and pass through all diffculty, he should also be the first one to motivate the team when the team is down. Yes Zidane maybe the fact that cause France lost to Italy. As he himself as a captain had did something to lose the team spirit and lose his pride as one player and one team captain.

However, i am quite sure that what he did is due to his reflection action, after being insulted by others. I think he himself does not want it too. Ask Miss Tan a question, what if you are in Zidane shoe, could you keep your calm? I am sure not alot of people could do it. So when blaming came into reason for France lost, Zidane is the one being blame. But I think the person who insulted him is partially at fault too. Because the guy had lost his sportmenship by insulting Zidane to gain his anger and get him out of the game. (A tactic that made people jeer at him)

So I think Zidane cannot be fully blame at. This maybe a sorry end for Zidane but i am sure that people remember more on what he contributed to the team more then what he did during 2006 World Cup. And i guess there are people who will understand his situation then. Moreover, people should be learning from this as in being calm no matter what, or else one will leave regrets.

Bullying Essay

2006-06-22T20:46:00.000-07:00

Bullying is something that will always happen no matter how old a person could be.
Some may be being bullied all their life just because they are nice to people or they do not dare to fight back. However, more people get bully when they are younger and the type of bully they get could be physically or mentally.
Most people thought that physical bully is more severe than mentally bully; however they are wrong to think in that way because mentally bully is more hurting than any physical bully.

Bullying mostly started with a person or a group who picks on someone they dislike; first they may threaten that person verbally or maybe even some beating that wasn’t that harsh. But when they do not want to give way anymore, they will really find the person they dislike and give him or her brutal beating. To many people, beating may seem to be physical bully but it does consist of mentally bully. As wounds could be heal in no time, but the part which hurt the victim is hard to heal, and it is his emotions.
Emotionally pain is also consider as mentally bully, as the memories of him or her got beaten up is going to be part of him or her when they grew up. And if the emotional hurts could not be heal, this may lead them to depress or even they may think of going suicides.

A simple beating can be hurting physical and mentally, but did anyone think of why people bully one another? And even the bullied, do they bully people just because they like?

I think probably not. As one of the reason of people bullying one another is due to influence. Influence by friends or parents. Example, a child who live in a violent family, they most likely will get beaten up by their father or mother at home. So when they are out of the house, they bully others as a form of revenge or even to let other feel how they felt when they are bullied. Same apply to the influence by friend. Example will be, when a secondary one student was bullied by a senior, they tend to bully their junior when they gone up to be a senior. And these form a trend on senior bullying junior in most of the school. Another reason could be the influences by television program or comics which contain violent acting or pictures which children or teenager will imitate.

Furthermore, bullying is considered as an offence in school. Most school will first give the bullied a stern warning. If they violate the rule again, they could be punish by caning. And if worst come to worst they may be suspend from school or being expelled.

Everything will have a solution, and it has to done step by step. The best thing to do is to educate people on the consequences of bullying. On the other hand, we could then console the victim. And parent should guardian their child regardless whether they have contact with any violence. In conclusion, to prevent is better then to treat it later. Therefore, we should try to prevent anymore bullying then later to console the victims
