Seeing the recent debacle of Xiaxue's expose, my fingers were itching to write. And after watching Cinderella today, my fingers itched even more. I think that the issue of ethics is important - being a Mass Comm student, I learnt all about internet ethics during my first year at Republic Poly. And I'd like to say that as a blogger, one should have morals - flimsy excuses about how one was really unhappy with their telcos thus the "open complaints" about them & that their lines were "not under their name blah blah" are pretty weak to me. Sure, if you think that this can simply justify what you've done to damage the names of the other telcos, then so be it.
Also, Gushcloud's dirty cover ups - probably just as bad as City Harvest's money laundering, because you're being:
1) DISHONEST
2) OMISSION OF FACTS DOES NOT EQUATE TO "WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT THEM"
3) BLATANTLY LYING
Also, Gushcloud has no qualms about invading the privacy of their influencers. Asking to search their influencers' phones, claiming without evidence that one of their ex-influencers leaked their brief (why are you harping on the fact that the brief was leaked when what you should focus on is HOW YOU ASKED YOUR INFLUENCERS TO SLANDER STARHUB/M1?), demanding to know of an ex-influencer's boyfriend's address just to "talk to him"? Don't you think this reeks of desperation to cover up one's tracks? Asking Rachel to SWEAR ON HER FAMILY and then saying "I trust you" and then afterwards saying that "I caught her, she slipped up"? Oh yeah, sure. Gushcloud is your "cleanest" business yet. I suggest you buy some toilet paper cause shit just got real.
Glad to know that people like Naomi (who said she was NEVER really a part of Gushcloud - yet another mistreated influencer), Jianhao and Rachel have left. I never really followed any of them but it's plain to see that they know where the line's been crossed, and to leave when that happens. Good game, Gushcloud, but this time I think you're doomed. Your lawyers will probably have to mop up a huge mess - and who's to say that you can even pay them? LOL.

Watched Cinderella at The Grand Cathay today with my mummy, and man I cried so much during the movie. I cannot stand scenes where a parental figure dies 'cause that affects me a lot. Of course, we all know the Cinderella story, so I didn't really expect much, just waited for the romance. But I must say, Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter's acting was stellar. Never thought I'd see someone who portrayed Bellatrix in such a kind character's role. But it was good, plus I loved how the Prince was portrayed. Lily James was okay, I mean what else is there to Cinderella other than her kindness and love that helps her along the way?
4/5 stars because the effects were cool, and that their acting was good. No 5 stars because predictable even with the changes to the plot - there is always a happy ending anyways. But I can't fault that, can I? Actually, just did. LOL

During Cinderella, I realized a few things. The most bitter, jealous and envious type of people will never be satisfied... and most commonly it is those types of people that drive the light out of the most kind and deserving people. I guess I need to learn how to be satisfied with myself - if not I'll be the one driving the light out of myself. I know though I may feel like I don't deserve some things sometimes, but I also need to know that I DO deserve some good in my life. NTS: be more positive and fuck those people who make you feel like shit 'cause you don't need negativity in your life.
