youless @youless (114113) • Guangzhou, China 17 Jan 12

Lately my husband and I went to watch a movie caled The Flowers of War. I knew it was a sad movie about the war. So I brought lots of tissue to the cinema as I knew I needed it badly. I will not avoid watching sad movies. As long...

theonlooker I would rather watch a sad/dramatic movie over a scary movie anytime though, but that's that me. I think life's too short to skip out on a good show, anyway, if you don't catch it while it's showing you may regret not watching it later, plus watching movies in...

Have you heard of the new prince of tennis? This was the continuation of the national tournament. Ryoma beats the captain of their rikkadai and goes to amerika. And on this new series of POT, he comes back and they are still high...

theonlooker Shintenipuri is rather crazy and random in my opinion (like survivor x extreme sports!), but I still watch it for my favourite characters and teams, plus the U-17 camp kind of reminds me of the Senbatsu arc in the first series, which I adored even though it...

theonlooker Personally I do not see crying as being weak. Depending on the situtation, sometimes to be able to express yourself is actually brave, since many people tend to to get embarrassed if they cried in front of others. Sometimes you also need an avenue to vent,...

I absolutely LOVE this book!

Chalea Hutchinson @zoey7879 (3092) • Quincy, Illinois 26 Sep 11

I first read 'To Kill a Mockingbird' when I was in seventh grade, after discovering it in a box of book's that my mum's friend had given me. I read it several times throughout the years and was ecstatic when I was required to read...

theonlooker The book holds a special place in my academic life, it was one of the first books I had to read for high school lit and one that I really really enjoyed, which in turn made me love the subject and I ended up majoring in it. I love the characters and story, it...

Have you seen it

Joni @joni1215 (394) • United States 28 Oct 11

I have seen the movie Les Miserable several times. I would like to see it live. Has anyone seen it and is it great or what? I would hate to see it and ruin the movie for me because I really like it a lot.

5 responses

theonlooker Les Miserables is my favourite musical! I saw the musical long before I watched the movie, so the movie didn't not really do much for me, I enjoyed it but I'm just a bigger fan of musical theater. I like the musical so much that I have different international...

a good message to parents.

abhi285 @abhi285 (159) • India 17 Dec 11

theonlooker I think that both academics and life skills are equally important. The problem (especially in asian countries) is that more emphasis is places on certain academics, the maths and sciences, and the arts and humanities, music, dance, takes a backseat but really...

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 18 Jan 12

theonlooker Don't worry, it's something that you'll get the hang of after a few times. I used to be a huge eye pencil user as I was scared of making mistakes with liquid, but now I use both. I usually draw a wing on the corner on the outside and then join from the inside...

theonlooker I've watched the whole series till the latest episode, I'd say the first few episodes are kind of slow moving, then when they get to Soul Society things get much more interesting, then again I love the Shinigami. After that there'll be a mixture of...

theonlooker Personally I don't like the concept. I find it disturbing. Sure, people may say it's got philosophical depth and such but I don't find much to like about it. The only thing I liked about it was L, the detective because he was less twisted than the other...

theonlooker I like Ami/Sailor Mercury because she's a quiet and hardworking girl and less ditzy than the rest. I admit that at first I didn't want to watch this at first because I thought it was for young girls (primary school age), then I realised, watching it at an...

theonlooker NUS is definitely the older and better one. But I think engineering and accounting subjects should be the same standard in both if that's what you're after. NUS is better for the more academic subjects.
