i am so truly grateful to lub for giving me the oprah's dvds. there are 6 discs and i'm watching the 3rd now. it is such a humbling experience. i feel like this woman has such a big heart. not only is she giving, she is also forgiving, smart, poised and real.
i was telling the usual people at work today about what i watched last nite and i said oprah said she is many things, but so far has not got vanity into her, or something like that. and LH said, "but she lost weight and her jewellery and all that, how could she have not vanity got into her?". and i could not control myself. i said, "why are you so skeptical? why can't you be happy for her and believe that she could be who she says she is?"
after i got home, i thought about that again. why is it that we can't celebrate people's success? why should we always think that there must be some dirty secrets if he or she is successful? so what if there are? can't we just be happy for them and celebrate their successes? and what's so wrong with spending money on herself if she has earned it. if we could all be a little less skeptical, then perhaps there could be a little less negative energy around here.
it's the same with belinda's xi you ji. LH also commented that she's a actress, maybe all that on tv was just her acting. that's after i said i'm convinced that belinda's done a great job and that the show has changed my perception about her. why can't we just believe that her tears are real? is it that difficult to believe that successful people can be real?
i think this is really media influencing in a very powerful and positive way. and i still want to thank my dear friend lub for that fabulous present.

I have watched Belinda's Xi You Ji before and I think she has done quite well visiting Singaporeans working and living outside Singapore. She even lost her own camera in one of the places. I don't think she has faked her tears, but tears of joy and tears of love.
