Why do i like Elmo…
It’s not simply about being cute
But he talks like a philos guy
And he is polite and gentle all the time
and he has a goldfish, Dorothy
*
at some point of time
I was tempted to buy this as a birthday gift
for my niece, AH B
for her 1st birthday.
It costs something like RM 200
*
However lots of considerations
came into my thought
*
Firstly
maybe she will be scared by
this flurry red thing
who laughs so loud
*
Secondly
she will no like Elmo
and will smash it
and my RM 200 will be gone just like this
*
So i decided to spend on
a pair of jeans instead
and bought her clothes
that only costed me RM 50
*
Sorry Ah B
I will buy you something better
on your 3rd birthday okay
*
Actually I don’t collect Elmo’s stuffs
Except a big piece of towel
with Sesame Gang
playing on a beach
*
I am slowly introducing
the Sesame Street gang to her
Maybe she will end up being a Elmo fan
and we can collect stuff together
*
Now whenever I play The Elmo’s Song
she can croon the song quit well
*
It’s really give you
a good feeling to watch Sesame Street
The western kids who live in
a friendly neighburhood
*
It’s like Human Geog Theory…
Effects of Americanization
Like McD in China
they don’t really like the burger
but eating in McD make them feel
civilized, modernized and
getting an American touch
*
Watching Barney, Sesame Street
gives the same feeling
of civilization and modernization
*
Those activities the kids perform
like snowman-building, horse-riding
are not something we can do here
*
And you get celebrities like Norah Jones
singing with The Muppets on the show
