I Tell You Ev'ything!!!

I Heart Ms Swan...
If you have ever watched MadTV on youtube, do check out this character played by Alex Borstein where she plays a foreign, stouty lady working as a manicurist at the Gorgeous Pretty Beauty Nail Saloon.

She is absolutely talented when it comes to playing this character that would get you to bits...
Here are some of my favourite episodes...

Freedom at last...

Well well, what do you know...
I have now put an end to the entire ordeal of sitting for 4 treacherous papers and now its full throttle on the wedding...
Am pretty excited since I am singing in it... Yes, all the jiwang songs like Love Me Tender and all but well, I am doing it all for a cause, in prevention of those hideous karaoke sessions by old uncles and aunties belting out the few operas and songs which are not meant to be sung in weddings... Hence, I ceased the opportunity and went on to do what may be my few opportunities of being on a stage to show off my so called "hidden talent" to the deaf ear and see if I could garner a few claps of my own... be it out of courtesy or true appreciattion for my gift...

I just hope I hold my keys as well as he does...

Ok...
Enough of me crapping about the wedding...
I will be missing in action for a week or two traveling to Taiwan and Hong Kong for the next round of the wedding since my uncle is getting married to a Taiwanese, I would be attending the Taiwan one as well as going to Hong Kong for a short trip and a private trip to Hong Kong Disneyland...

So I shall see you guys soon...
Adios Amigos...

27 Dresses... and two hot cutie pies...

Well, its a lazy Saturday afternoon where i was supposed to be studying for my next paper, I decided to watch a little movie, the downloaded version of 27 dresses by the ever so beautiful Katherine Heigl and the dashing James Marsden...




Gosh, I am a sucker for movies like this. Beautiful dresses, weddings, love, romance, bitch slaps and lots of laughter. I love happy endings... I love it when the whole movie revolves around the search for happiness, true love and all those sweetness that Hollywood injected in our minds, totally corrupting the reality of true romance and marriage. I am just so enthralled by the whole concept of the dresses she kept and that at last, they all repaid their dues and attended the wedding in the brides' respective dresses...

Favourite part has got to be staring at James Marsden's eyes...


And also at the hunky Edward Burns...


Well, but this movie kept me thinking... We all have a very fixed sorta idea as to how our true love is to come and materialise in our eyes but hey, they come in the most unexpected form and well, people, are at times filled with surprises...

So I guess all I have to do now is to wait, wait and see when will I ever be sucked into my whirl-wind romance like how Jane fell for Kevin in the bar... And I wish i get to mouth out that he is sexy as well!!!



This movie is so my favourite!

And there it goes...

With the recent Sichuan earthquake, it bothers me so much that everyone is collecting funds to be sent to China. Well, I am not saying that all these good deeds are not to be encouraged but I have collectively given out more than my weekly expenses but what am I ranting about you may ask.

Well, I was asked to go for a charity dinner tonight at some Chinese restaurant by my parents and so I have no choice but to comply, only to realise non of us were even prepared to what was set before us.

We entered the restaurant welcomed by loud music blasting out of the stereos and we have to bear with all these little girl bands (a very hit fad amongst young Chinese ed children) and sang songs which seem to be of some very Chinese sounding nursery rhymes while some others sang covers. It reminded me of those awful Chinese dinners. Then there were dancers obviously from dancing societies tried to do a Jive, a Cha Cha and a Rhumba but the awful sight of a man who cannot sway right and it looked so stiff it needs grease!

The worst part was the auction where they auctioned everyday products ranging from washing machines to cognac. I was appalled by the rowdy response as though this was a competition amongst the crowd.

The day ended with loads of laughter, booze and a man (apparently some dato) making a bid of RM15,000 to sing a song that got me laughing into fits as he was basically reading the words of the song throughout without any sense of melody. I just wished someone told him it made a fool out of himself.

This is as close as it sounds tonight!!!

Paying a ton already to attend this ever-so-reluctant event, we found out that these people were not there to mourn and grief for the losses of those in china rather made it into some social event that seemed to disrespect those who have lost the lives of the family and friends. It was as though they were trying to take the opportunity of such disasters and make it an avenue to earn an extra buck. I felt sorry for those in need and if we really accumulate everything and pay off the cost, how much would be left to send into China?

Is this charity or is this a sham?

A moment of silence for all those who have suffer great loss. Amen.

Its begining to end!!!

Well, its that time of season...
As my exams approach ever so near, ie. Next Wednesday, all my favourite shows came to a close...

Desperate Housewives came to an OMG ending with some unsuspected turns...
With a 5 year flash to 2013, we have only to see some of em who has been pretty barren to start having children(Gabrielle) and those with children either got engaged(That new lady, Can't remember her name) or got successful (Bree) or got into trouble (Lynette) but some got a little more kinkier where Susan was seen snogging a new guy... Apparently someone from QAF...


I liked that the gay couple got married but was wrecked by the unfortunate twist of events... Its as though the producers had that last episode and must finish and wrap everything up and keep it happy... Tsk Tsk tsk... Thanks to the writer's strike I guess...

Nest we Have my girl, Kristi Yamaguchi who won the Sixth season of Dancing with the Stars with her partner Mark Ballas... She has been one of the most consistent dancer seen on the competition, being the leader for a consecutive 6 weeks and claiming a 90/90 for 3 dances. It was a pretty deserving ...


However, watching American Idol for the very first time at 8 am to catch the winner was really a bummer when David Won. Yes, David Cook instead of David Archuleta that is...


My sister even threw the pillow at the TV in protest but well, he won it hands down since he took home 56% of the 98.5 million votes... And the worst part is, his brother auditioned initially and he was just there to watch... Someone won by accident... That's original!!! I shall call him the accidental Idol!!!


But if David, Archie that is, if you ever read my blog (that is so cool!) I want you to know you are forever mine!!!

Hahahaha...

Just before leaving, Its always nice to reminisce on the cuties in this season!!!

Top 12... All smiles...


Danny Noreiga, he ain't my type but he is pretty much the entertaining factor... He was on the Ellen Show and he sang his only bearable song, Superstar which I found to be pretty good actually...

Jason Yeager, this guy has been one of those whom I found to be simply irresistible... I love his performance , Long Train Running in that tight, black pant...

Micheal Johns, Aussie guys are just hot... and his cheekiness, is what makes him so darn sexy...

Luke Mannard, Well, he just remind me of a blonder version of Legolas aka Orlando Bloom

For a stripper, he looks pretty decent and he has some moves if you watched the Season Finale where he shakes his booty on stage...

Go Go Yamaguchi...

Kristi and Mark; Mambo-ing her way to the top!!!

Yes, after reading one of Leggie's post about Kristi Yamaguchi's participation on Dancing With The Stars Season 6, I decided to watch a lil but boy was I surprised!

She is actually really good not to mention how cute Mark Ballas is! I have voted for them recently and hopefully they would win the finals!

This is a tribute to them and their amazing win of the first and only perfect 60/60 in the entire season!

Its a little bit funny, this feeling inside...

Well, it has been almost 3 years since that faithful day...
I could still vividly remember when I was still so odd looking and back when there was no Pavilion, I loved going to Times Square...

One of those days in my school U I stepped in with a couple of friends... I haven't had single meal for I was nervous the entire day. The fact that I was about to come to close encounter with destiny was really a nerve wrecking experience... I remember entering and writing my name upon the white coloured forms and submitting pictures, people bustling by, some striking a chord while another giggling. I was in my blue top and white pants, my uniform for 7 years in high school...

I went and sat there with my Bio book. I read through the pages until this cute reporter came to me and Tifz to ask what were we doing there... I simply replied, "I am here to get a rather honest and professional opinion about myself" After a couple of hours, the number 11487 was called summoning me to the room with 9 others, as nervous as I was.
I did not see a recognisable face, not someone I have ever met yet, I went in and I came out.

Then, uncertainty shrouded me... people were being called to and fro except me and another guy... The moment of truth, the rest was sent home while I have to make another trip on Monday...

Monday came and I packed well... I have a plain over sized white T shirt on and a brown pants. I took my number once again. I went to wait for 6 hours before I was summoned. I was third in line, The first came out with a glimmering yellow A4, I couldn't believe my eyes, he was Faizal, Mat Rock. Then it was my turn, but before I went in, someone came out and slammed the door, I knew my chances were slim...

I went in and was asked with the getting to know you question with an additional comment that I looked like a scientist. They thought I was a joke...

But soon after a tribute to Stevie and Micheal I knew I nailed it... Yes, I joined Malaysian Idol 2, 3 years ago...


me and Tifz...
I reminisce those sweet moments when I got my yes' and my golden ticket. I later dropped out due to exams but as a consolation, a 2 minute video of my audition immortalised my experience. Well, I still savour every moment especially when I get an alert in my mailbox that I got a new comment on Youtube, I would go and check what others have said about me... Not all are encouraging but it keeps me going and constantly encouraged that one day... I will make it!!!
