Nice... part 1

When I was taking the bus to work today, I saw a mother reading a children's fairytale book to her little girl at the bus-stop. I thought that was the sweetest thing I've seen for a long while.

I think it's pretty essential that a child reads. I think it could be different these days with some much distraction from the media: Cartoon Network (which is not evil), XBox-es, Playstations, etc. But it's a very different thing to sit down and read a book.

Hey, I'm sure it has shaped the moral values of our generation pretty much. I mean, we all learnt that the planet-invading-and-pop-star-loving Zentraedi are not necessarily evil by nature. How ghost-writing Singapore ghost stories with extremely bad grammar can be actually quite scary. And ghost-writing stories about 3 kids (or I believe, the demographic is now known as tweens) - a fat, brainy one, a dumb jock and a nerdy librarian who meddles and solves crimes can be extremely inspiring.

I love reading. Especially, on the bowl.
