blog 8: Why Do We Need thrillers?

  Last few days I watched a video, this video is about a special variety show of some really popular stars' daily routine. This week's content is a group of Kpop stars called BigBang, who is now very popular among youths, paying a visit to the hanted house in Fuji Amusement Park in Japan.
 This hanted house is very famous because it is a lot more than a hanted house for amusement and it was recorded in the Gunies World Record as the world's most horrible haanted house. It was transformed from a real terrifying hopsital. In the past, the doctors and nurses in this hoapital manged to kill the patients who are in good health status and try to get their oragans in order to make more money. Thus, many healthy people died mysteriously here. Later on, the police noticed this strange phenomenon and gave strict punishments to this group of people. Also.this hospital was closed because of this incident.However, the buiding is still quite new, so it was redecorated and changed to what it is looked like now.
 After a brief introduction of this place, these five people started to begin their journey in this hospital. in this program, although only a very short period was recorded and showed to the audience, it is powerful enough to show its horror. The leader, who is always very tough in front of other people even couldn't move while seeing those so called "ghosts" trying to touch him. Another member kept crying out. At last,they had to get out from the emergncy exit half way. After getting out,  all of them felt extremely grateful that this all appeared just now wouldn't happen in the real life. Seeing their complicated face, I started to think, w what is the meaning of these thrillers and these haunted houses set in the amusement parks?
 I still remember in my high school, my desk mate was very addicted to watching thrillers. She started this interest after one exam, in which she didn't performed very well. Because of the bad results, she felt stressed out. In order to release this pressure, she decided to do something exciting in order to forget this pain. However, she was trapped in a wrong direction of watching thrillers. Once I remembered that someone told me that once you are getting used to the terrible scenes in thrillers, you will gradually get addicted to them. She unfortunately became a person like that. Thrillers have been a part of wasting time instead of releasing pressure. Her marks became lower and lower as the time goes by. She slept everyday in classes because she watched thrillers every night, which took up too much of her studying time. In this case, her grades fell even behind. So she need more thrillers to release her pressure.
 This is very typical vicious circle and it reminds me of drug addiction. As we all know a lot of pop stars are claimed to take drugs due to great working pressure, for example, Whitney Huston. In my own opinion, one should learn to face the pressure instead of escaping from it. Everyone has a lot to worry about, especially when getting older so it is very common to feel depressed once upon a time. What need to do is try to be strong inside. I still remember in one of my oral reports, I shared my ways of dealing with stress. I prefer some ways that can drag my attention out of the stress such as chatting or singing instead of some words which can comfort me. Because I think when we are comforting ourselves mostly it is telling a big lie.
 As for the ways of relaxing, I think traveling is the best choice. Along the way we see different scenery, get different feelings and learn to see things from another direction. But for most of us, we are not free to travel around whenever we like. In this case, I think listening to some music is a great way. At least it is a really effective way for me. Several days ago I went to see the "Music Matters" held in Clark Quay and that's a memorable experience. During that live concert, I shouted, jumped with a lot of music fans all around. I think I found myself in that event.



It has always been my strength to wander out of the topic. But whatever, I hope all of us can find the rights ways of dealing with pressure and live a healthy life both physically and mentally~
