LARGER THAN LIFE...



Hi again...

There are two things i want to mention here... okay, i was just watching TV and it happened to be news on TV just now... what made me like almost choked... or laughed and for a moment like "pause" and did not know whether to laugh or cry... or feel sorry... let me get to the point... it was about this "Eye" at Glenelg (see pic)... which kind of cost a lot and yet it was such a lost to the Beach house at Glenelg... thats not what i am discussed here. Okay... i was just like shocked when they were saying on the news... when they first made it, they visualized it ... hmm well what the news reported was like "It was an answer to the London Eye for Australia"... i was eating and almost like choking on that statement... i mean i been there... i mean Glenelg is nice and all... but that "Glenelg Eye" an answer to London's Millenium Eye... oh god i was saying to myself... so eccentric... not even close to compare! and like i been and witness London eye myself... London Millenium eye is like a monument and tourist attraction to London, while the Gleneleg eye is just part of amusement park..... so think ... hmmm... "big"... i know down here they love to claim to be bigger than life mostly!... everything in terms of promoting or business slogan.. like "the biggest in the world" like Le Cornu... well i have seen bigger furniture shop that that my mate!! then again fair enough... its just a way to attract customers i reckons... and i think no harm thinking big for ourselves... hahaha.. just at times, it is ridiculuos to think like that when obviously not the biggest or largest in the world... i knw Australia is a continent but still... anyhow, not saying bad about it, but like to compare the "Eye" to "London Eye"... hmm i tot that was really a joke.. and now the problem was that the business not doing well and just an eye sore to the resort and some even suggested that they abolish it!... well it speaks for itself ya... hehe... well another thing just now the show "Smarter than 5th Grader"... not saying it is not good... i really like that show as i think Rove is brilliant.. i mean today one of the participants was a 5th Grade teacher and yet the first question he couldnt answer... fair enough like who is ALicia Moore... thats ok... but like he is a teacher by career and he should know school materials at least... my my so scary... but who am i to judge?... but like... eh... i was like... if someone cant treat ppl, they cant be doctors... footballer cant play football.... and many others... you can say he is a teacher maybe he can teach... i am more like...fair enough but a teacher should be well equipped with school materials.... hmm... anyhow... just a thought here.... okay till later!
