Aching Body

Friday going night skating with Alexis and his skate friends. In view of the grueling, tedious and someone say impossible destinations, decided to go train up before I embark on this journey. So I went skating with Alexis today and skated from Bedok Jetty to Fort Road and to National Stadium and back to Bedok Jetty. This is possibly the longest distance I have ever skated. And yes, I did make it back in one piece hence qualifying me to skate with the pros. Or so I think...

Thinking about the distance does seems intimidating
Pasir Ris -> East Coast -> Fort Road -> National Stadium -> Suntec -> Orchard
Will Susan be able to make it. Well folks to know the outcome, stay tuned to the life telecast on Friday night live. You dun want to be caught left out on first Episode of the Amazing Race on wheels.

What's for lunch

Mom: What do you want for lunch, Mathew is on the phone, he can buy back.
Me: What do they have there?
Mom: Chicken rice. You want?
Me: Dun want. What else?
Mom: (talks to brother) What else do they have there? (Talks to me) What do you want?
Me: Carrot cake.
Mom: Buy for jie jie carrot cake. (talks to me) Want black or white?
Me: White.
Mom: White carrot cake. (talks to brother) They don't have carrot cake. Buy something else can?
Me: Like?
Mom: Chicken rice?
Me: I DUN WANT chicken rice.
Joy: I want gou tiao! (shouts from the room)
Mom: Joy wants fishball goutiao. You also okay, or you want chicken rice?
Me: Yah yah gou tiao. And I dun want chicken rice. *Pengz*

This happens alot. Mom will insist I should eat certain food when she buys back. Besides chicken rice, she always recommends that I eat Hokkien Mee. But that's Joy's favourite, not mine! Why cant I choose what I wanna eat? If I dun wanna eat chicken rice, I wun. If I dun wanna eat Hokkien Mee, then I wun. I'm not particulary fussy about food. I just dun like her dictating me what to eat. That includes buy, wear, look, etc.. ARGH

CLAY AIKEN

So sad he didn't win :( why didn't America vote for Clay? He sang so so good. But like what the others said it probably boils down to popularity. And I noticed Clay doesn't appeal to the guys as much as Ruben. And can you imagine the difference between them was like 0.2%!!!!! A mere 1300+ votes. And the greatest joke? Last year's winner Kelly won Justin by 16%! Hahaha. Yah I really dun like Justin. He and his curly hair! Eeeeee

Clay, you're still a winner! Yeah you've got SIngapore fans too!! Me and Joy.. Oh and Denise too.
And the 2nd American Idol is..

Results are going to be out soon. Well actually they are already out, but dun wanna post a spoiler. There's gonna be great group performances too.

Oh mine, Clay's bridge over troubled waters is SO SO good!!!

It's finished

My exams are finally over and done with! Unspeakable happiness and relief and as I left the exams hall for the last time. No more mugging, no more lectures, no more school.. I'll miss school school days, I mean. Looking back on these two years studying, I guess I have learnt alot, besides stuffs like Organizations are complex adaptive system, BP is a function of capital mobility and all.....( like what greek are you talking about, Susan?) but honestly, these two years have been a very fulfilling year for me. Of course, dear frienships with my 5L gang and especially Kelly and Dion. I'll always remember the melbourne trip and all the silly, funny and irrating things that happened.

For Cindy: Hey dun worry about missing the reality shows coz I'll keep you updated! American idol later in the night and You know what The Amazing Race is starting again. Heard there's a married gay couple! Should be interesting to watch. Will drop you a mail soon now that my exams are over. Glad to hear that work is fun and exciting and challenging, unlike joy's. Poor her. Enjoy yourself girl.

How much can you take?

After my initial pathetic ranting about having no dinner, heaven heard the pleas of my rumbling tummy and sent my parents to get me dinner. After downing 2 gou tei and a bowl of seafood soup, I feel so overwhelmed by all the food. *stuffed* I'm sure it's also because of my nacho's indulgence in the afternoon that led to this over-capacity to somewhere in my body now.
Chacho's

Unlike ordinary corn chips, Chacho's are irresistibly light and crispy. They are made with 100% stone ground masa corn flour from America. We dare you to try all of our uniquely delicious flavours!
Servings Per Container 3
Amount Per Serving
Calories 140

I am hungry and I only have coffee and Chacho's...they don't taste that great after all...



Where's everybody in the house? All out, except for me, who needs to study for my exams. What a bummer! I suspect I'm missing out on some good decent food.

I cant resist

The charm of American Idol that is. Despite having a paper tomorrow, I just had to watch American Idol and of course what makes it good was having to bid Joshua good bye. But the last part was kinda touching, with him carrying his baby girl to sing his last song. I suspect Ryan doesn't like Joshua, because when it was time to say the results he just said Joshua you are out and Kimberly you are safe, with such a non chalent look on his face. Not much emotions from the crowd too. Except his wifey of course who was tearing away.

But after watching American Idol for weeks, I feel kinda attached to them. Seeing them sing week after week, changing of image, some starting to dance more like Clay. Now that it's down to the final 3, it will be hard. My predictions, Kim's gonna go next week and Clay's so gonna win this... Then again either I support both Clay and Ruben.

Alright, enuff said, gotta head back to my notes. For those who care, I'm having my papers tomorrow (9th), Monday (12th) and Wednesday(14th), Please keep me in prayers, esp for my paper on the 14th. Been warned that it's not going to be easy, it's my finance paper by the way. Yeah and after 2 years, I still think I made the wrong choice to major in Finance. Oh well..

Miss independent

By the winner of last year's American Idol, Ms Kelly Clarkson. This is in her new second album. Way cool, it was written by Christina Aguilera for her, so sounds like Christina's style.


Miss independent
Miss insufficient
Miss keep your distance, mmmm

Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don't let a man interfere

Whoa, miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her phone

So, by keeping her heart protected,
She'll never, ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love

What is this feeling taking over
Thinking a word could open the door
Surprise, it's time to feel what's real
What happened to miss indepent's no longer need to be defensive
Goodbye or you will love, it's true

Miss guided heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you wanna use that line, you better not start

Oh, but she miscalculated
She didn't wanna end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing a misconception,
She went in a new direction
And found inside, she felt a connection
She fell in love

What is this feeling taking over
Thinking a word could open the door
Surprise, it's time to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive
Goodbye or you will love, it's true (will love, it's true)

When miss independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to miss no longer afraid?
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
So miss independent had more to say
I'm so glad I've finally seen

What is this feeling taking over
Thinking a word could open the door
Surprise, it's time to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive
Goodbye or you will love, it's true (will love, it's true)

Miss independent

X-men

storm
You are Storm!

You are very strong and very protective of those
you love. You are in tune with nature and are
very concerned with justice and humanity.
Unfortunately, certain apprehensions and fears
are very hard for you to overcome, and can
often inhibit you when most need to be strong.


Which X-Men character are you most like?
brought to you by Quizilla

How cool I'm Storm!
I wanna watch X-Men 2! Dion, Kelly it's a date ah, X-Men 2 after exams!!

Racists

How can American not vote for Ruben and Trenyce, and caused them to be in the bottom two? And how on earth can they keep Joshua Grayson? He stinks! I'm serious he does. You call what he does singing? What's wrong with you America? First, you kept Carmen on for so long and now Joshua? They cant sing for nutz I tell you. Fuming mad! Sheesh. I suspect it's coz they are racist! Just coz they're black it ain't mean they are no good! I bet with the war over now, the marines must be hella free and are voting for their fellow marine guy. But Joshua is simply no cut out for being the American Idol.

Ruben Studder is the man and I like Trenyce and she sings great too! In fact I felt she gave a very good performace yesterday. How can America do this to the both of you! If Joshua is really the one American choose to be the American Idol, I tell you, even Randy, Paula and Simon will be pissed and will probably quit. There's no way, Joshua can ever redemn himself in this show. He's up against all these power houses. And a new addition is Kimberly Locke, you go Ger!

Please America, kick Joshua out! Please vote with your ears!!!
