Neil Humphreys
I went for his talk and book signing in the NUS Library just now. Funny man. Though I do not agree totally with what he said, I still like the way he writes and satirizes many things (including the dysfunctional side of our gahmen).Some of the stuff he said:
- Arts degree...the only degree that teaches you how to support your opinion. The write about them. Trains you in that.
- He encourages us to go into jounelism. He didn't cover the censorship and ridiculous nature of Singapore press.
- No he is not an opposition.
Anyway, I am bad at retelling an event if I didn't take note. And I didn't. (Sorry Afiah, I know u read my blog and likes Neil Humphreys, sorry I can't give u the details about the event. haha.)
Anyway, I did something.
I spent $34 on his 3 books.
The irony is I don't even put $30 in for my textbooks.
Idiot you, Carmen, your aunty side rearing again.
Darn, next few weeks I have to scrimp and save to justify this spending again.
Someone chain my hands or something.
(I'll put up a pic of the talk when I can kop it from any webby. My hp is too lousy to take a proper photo of him.)
