JUST A DAY OF DEBATING AND DOCUMENTARY

yeah finally the debates are over!

anyway... headed down with dear fern to watch a local film by Tan Pin Pin, it was a documentary called invisible city.

being the lazy girl that i was...i was really happy that fern asked me if i wanted to watch it too when she went to buy it heh.

the docu was fab. it talks loosely about the ownership of singapore's history and it was a refreshing look at it. beyond the silly text book definitions and labels, it looked at the viewpoints of one ethnographer, one professor, one archaeologist, one old guy reflecting on the old days of chinese students, one guy who used to fight against the japanese during world war 2.

then again...it's my interpretation. i guess tt's the beauty of such docus... it invites reaction and contemplation among its audience...rather than dictate the themes and values.
