2 extremes

Ha, I finally like some mainstream songs...3 in fact..hahaha. TH would be happy...

Yeah, totally dig Akon's songs now...I kinda hate lonely cos it's too overplayed..But I like Sole Survivor and Belly Dancer..esp Belly Dancer. Great song to dance to, great song to play during parties, great song to spend a lonely trip to and fro school. Love it. Go listen to it!!!(sharon, this song is really nice!!)

The other 2 songs are totally different from belly dancer..Like the Michael Buble's Home. I like the lyrics, totally sweet and meaningful. Then when u see Michael singing that song...wow. Surreal again...Nice. "let me go home..." Kinda want to go to his concert now...can be nice. But I am still kicking myself not going to the Black Eyed Peas concert.

Like Eric Clapton's blue eyes blue...I always like him more than Elton John. The song is on the runaway bride's soundtrack and I heard it a few times before, but I really love it. The lyrics is just totally sad, how a man's heart got broken because a girl left him. Hmm...Nice. But up to now I can't the mp3...sad. I may have to buy the second hand cd to get that song...

This week no econs tutorial!!!Again!! Yeah! End class at 5pm again! But that means my birthday got tutorial...sucks.

Cheerios.

What's wrong with 7 oct and its week?

I am wondering, what is wrong with 7 oct???

That is my birthday by the way, but I don't seems to remember that I always have a "normal" birthday. This year, I know my birthday and the week is going to be "eventful". Already, 6 oct I have to stay back after school because of MNO subject pool. Until 3.30pm. Then 7 oct, which is fri, is my longest day for the whole week. Then on 8 oct, there is a stats makeup lecture for 3 hrs and then fna mid term test. That means the few hours after my school on 7 oct have to be used on studying for fna, which I sucked. Eventful huh? Why can't the teachers and the tutors and the professors just leave this date alone??I can't enjoy my birthday again!!!

I remember last year that period of time was post-prelims, so I was too tramatised after getting the results. In 2003 I have econs final term exam on that day. In 2002 it was normal but it was O level year. No one will go n celebrate. Aiyah, my birthday is around exam period. I am always studying for exams on my birthdays. Pathetic.

I can't celebrate again this year. xxxDAMNxxx.

Friday

My first day back to school is not bad...I met up with Sharon my ex-colleague after my school. We have not meet for a long long time, mostly because of me la. I am always the one cancelling because I got something coming up last minute. I want to meet her before all my deadlines started rushing to me next month..

She has this exclusive tickets by nokia for this outdoor cinema. Nokia is one of the company's clients, that's how she got them. Well, I never try such a thing before, neither does she, so we went there.

Nice. The area was at padang, so during nightime the the building around us lights up and the court looks so...surreal. The screen was huge, the sound was excellent. And I am watching something that I have never watched before, initial D. Haha. Edison Chen looks great in the show. I just dun like Jay's gf's voice. Too squeaky and whiny for my liking. Did not spend much money in the end, which was good cos I am super Broke! Was cramped (body ache already when the movie haven even start)with the small little mat they gave us to sit on but one couple who was sitting behind us were nice. They offer to share their mat with us!(they have 2 mats)

Went home really late, but I have fun again. At least I caught up with someone again. Maybe I should propose friday as my "catch up with old friends" day? LOL.

Even met Lily on our way to Padang. She saw us on a bus when it stopped at a bus stop. LOL...

1 of the nokia staff took a photo of us for free with the n90 phone..the phone looks kinda funny to me, but the photo was good...




I looked weird again. damn.

Cheerios.

Michael J Fox...

I forgot to post about Michael J Fox in the previous post..

He was shown briefly during yesterday Emmys, showing the segment whereby he won the Best Leading Actor in a Comedy Series. Not many people know about this, but I really like him. Not for a hot hunk reasons, but for his talent and his love for tv and acting. (he won 4 emmys...)

Brief history about him. He shot to fame for a 80s series family ties and won 3 emmys for it, but most of u may probably know him for the trilogy back to the future by steven you-know-who. It's frequently shown on channel 5, just look out for trailers for it. He is also always producing good shows as well. Anyway, I don't want to bore u wit details, but he is really a talented actor forced into early retirement. He was the voice for stuart in stuart little and that was one of his most recent projects. And guest stars in scrubs as well.

Anyway, he won the emmy award at 2000 for spin city and he got the whole crowd standing for him at that time. Everyone knows that he deserved that award, he should get the award. That award was most special because he left the series because he has Parkinson's diesease. Yes yes, and he is only 40+.

I never caught the episode of scrubs in which he was guest starring in...I tried to look out for it but scrubs is always shown so late at night on channel 5. I can't keep track. If I can ever watch the whole episode it will make my day. But it's hard...

Anyway, I leave a link here, which is a small segment of him in scrubs that I managed to fine...just watch it ok?

Hope u ppl can open it...

Post Emmys

So it's Felicity Huffman, who act as Lynette won the coverted Best Leading Actress in a comedy...she really did not expect it, judging from her wide open mouth and her shock when her name is called. And she truly deserves it, come to think of it. Her role wasn't easy to play...and maybe this arrangement will best solve the problem between Cross's(Bree) and Hatcher's(Susan) catfight in trying to become the diva of the group....

They did really steal the limelight of the show. Remember I said who to watch out for at red carpet? I am absolutely right...most of the girls are to watch for. Here is my fave:

1. Marcia Cross(Absolutely stunning)
2. Eva Longeria(I expected her to be the most stunning but is Cross that...outshone her)
3. Mischa Barton
4. Felicity Huffman
5. Lauren Graham( did not expect her to be there, but she looks great. She acted as Lorelai in Gilmore girls)



(the housewives on top, mischa barton and rachel bilson below)
Biggest disappointing (for me) : Jennifer Garner. Her dress is too tight for me to take it..Her bulges just comes off wrong for me.

Other winners:

Comedy Series: Everybody Loves Raymond


Drama Series : Lost

Leading actor in drama: James Spader (boston legal...he is the only one who managed to win anything for the practice last year)

Leading actor in comedy: Tony Shalhoub( Monk)

Leading actress in drama: Patricia Arquette(Medium)

Reality/ Competition programme : The Amazing Race

But the highlight of the show must be...when Donald Trump dressed as a farmer in straw hat and overalls and singing..he is not a very good singer mind you, but that sight alone just cracks me up...


Also, when Whoopie Goldberg and Hugh Jackman were presenting, they were talking a lot of stuff to the audience before Goldberg suggested that they should get back to the awards and said, "We have a lot of things to say, but you guys don't care. You just want to know who won this category."

Another hightlight...when the host ellen something(can't remember the full name) said, "Seriously, I think overall in the scheme of things, winning an Emmy is not important. I think we all know what's really important in life - winning an Oscar." This line is absolute winner...the best line that's was said in the entire night..

Acceptance speech wise...Hugh Jackman was funny too, James Spader too, but it's Huffman's speech that is the best.
"I would like to thank the incomparable William H. Macy for taking a chunky 22-year-old with a bad perm and glasses out into a cow pasture and kissing and making me his wife" (Huffman)


Pure winner, pure emotions, pure joy, pure love.

That's the emmys for u. Till the next year...

My last day...before mid-sem starts

This post is about my life, so yeah, everyone who got bored by the emmy post can read this one.

I had a really ... odd day on fri. It didn't start very well, but it ended quite nicely. Was late for my project discussion...(as always) even though I was out early, got a shock that I may have to stay until 8pm on next next thurs...blah blah blah. Then my econs presentation was ....eventful. After my lessons offically ended, I went to bitch with my other econs classmates about stuff we dun like. Then meet up with a friend that I haven seen for years..vent all my frustration on him and drank my 3rd cup of fruit juice! I felt very healthy that day!!(th:lol.)

Miss survivor that night, but it's ok. I have fun.

Later that night I worked until 6am before I slept...one of my records again. I was amazed by my own self. I wasn't even feeling tired at all! But i found out I got 2 pimples on my face today after burning the midnight oil..sighz.

Got lots to do this mid-sem break...hope that I can finish everything so that my burden is off when schools starts..

Anyway, Linda aka Coconut got new nickname again...1st one is "auntie", 2nd one is "gui fu", which is equal to "rich lady"...she earned all these because of her wearing a shawl..She's always doing these funny things that caused her to earn those nicknames...yingqi and I and carisse never ever earn these nicks because we dun do such....weird things. So dun go blaming on me ok Coconut!!!

Cheerios. Got to watch the apprentice.

The Dummy Guide to Emmys

Warning: This is going to be a super long blog...I got a lot to say!!

Whoa! It's Emmys tomorrow! I know there aren't a lot of people who are interested in this but it would be great..For the benefit for those who don't know what Emmys is, let me tell u. Emmys are American Awards for tv shows...shows like american idol, survivor, friends, lost blah blah blah. I remember Eleen was confused about Acedemy, Grammys and Emmys...well, Acedemy is basically Oscars and grammys are music awards. Tml will be a star-stunned affair, and I am waking up early at 8ama to watch the red carpet because the encore never ever repeat the red carpet affair before rushing out for some stuff.

I seriously hoped that lost will sweep most of the awards because their plot is so fresh and interesting. Desperate Housewivies too, but perhaps lost has a more edgy factor in it tt cause me to like the show. But I think houewives is nominated for more awards, but that doesn't necessarily means they will win more.

Who will win the best actress in comedy? The nomination list for tt is as below:

Marcia Cross - Desperate Housewives ABC
Teri Hatcher - Desperate Housewives ABC
Felicity Huffman - Desperate Housewives ABC

Patricia Heaton - Everybody Loves Raymond CBS
Jane Kaczmarek - Malcolm In The Middle FOX





Cross(the 2nd pic) and Hatcher(the 1st pic) are the front-runners, but I feel that Cross, who act as Bree, has an advantage. Her character is more challenging to play than Hatcher. I always pay a lot of attention to this catergory, because u have no idea how long many actress have to pay to get the trophy...i remember sarah jessica parker from sex in the city and jennifer aniston from friends waited sooooo long for it. The comedy categories seems to be more in the limelight than the drama.

One point to note, if lost or housewives won the best drama or best comedy, they will break dunno how many records. Because the panel of judges for emmys tend to give the older series their awards... It's interesting that ABC actually managed to churn out 2 great shows this year. They usually fall behind NBC, CBS and Fox. Especially Fox. (Fox produced shows like American Idol, NBC produced shows like Friends, and CBS produced shows like the amazing race and if i am not wrong, CSI).

People to look out for at red carpet:
1. Jennifer Garner. She's pregnant with Ben Affleck's baby(remember?), so she should be coming with a big tummy...it would be interesting to see she (and ben, if he's coming) at the carpet.
2. Eva Longeria. She's super stunning in the show, so she should be even more stunning at the carpet(just scroll down...)

3. Teri Hatcher. She may be trying to become the centre of attention, so look out.
4. Donald Trump. Maybe he may change his hairstyle for once.
5.Maybe Matt LeBlanc. He may appear at the show.
6. Marcia Cross. See how she would also steal the limelight from Hatcher.
7. The other 2 housewives women...comfirm interesting.
8. Evangeline Lily. If she's coming.

9. Mischa Barton???

I can't think of anyone else... These are the main ones. Most girls to look out, because they will confirm looking extra stunning with their gowns! Men...they only got tux to show off isn't it? Nothing much we can see..

One thing for sure, Brad and Jen are not attending the affair together this year. that's for sure. I can still remember both of them appearing on the red carpet looking as stunning as ever with all the blings blings...it's not happening again.



That's what I mean. This was last year.

She will be alone without Brad this year.

Ok, I said enough. I can't possibly tell u everything. Watch it urself tml to find out.

All the pictures are taken from http://tv.yahoo.com/emmys/

I may put another post. Cheerios.

Sometimes she did not even let me sing twice. .!! But it was fine..Have to keep correcting her is you're beautiful not you are beautiful..hahha. Kept imitating an elephant too...lame..Though my day started badly, it ended well..I got no complaints.

I really love this song..but I can't make out of it..

Son's Gonna Rise
Rollin' down the highway
Like a rocket
Headed to town now
You can't stop it
Got wheel in my hand
As I stand
On the floor Of the board Of this car On the road
Got this woman in the back seat
Yeah she's my wifey
In the middle of the delivery
Man she saves me
To this day I don't know why
She picked me up
When i was down on the road
With the wind when it blowed

Well a son's gonna rise in a mile
In a mile
In a mile
You'll be feeling fine
In a mile you will see
After me
You'll be out of the dark, yeah
You'll get your shot

(repeat all)..

I think the song is talking about a guy's wife going to give birth to a son....in a car? I dunno...but I love this song..the link to download this song to listen is this : http://boogaloo.typepad.com/boogaloo/2005/02/sons_gonna_rise.html

Astrology...

Zoe and Jul came to my house for a small get-together session on sat and pigging out with pizza when this subject came up. How "similar" are we with our horoscopes? Zoe was asking about my horoscopes and characteristics, which is by the way is Libra, and I forgot everything! Went to check it out, and realised that I almost have every characteristics! Here are some of the most shocking ones that I seriously never know about...

The typical Libra woman's appearance:
* is usually slim but curvy
* has large eyes
* has delicately flared nostrils
* has a large, well-shaped mouth
* has even teeth, often a gap between the front two


I ALMOST have every characteristics!!! I have eyes slightly bigger than average (don't know whether they had gone smaller ever since I wore glasses..) and I fulfilled the nostrils and the mouth and even the teeth!!! I did have a small gap between by 2 front teeth!! The first point...at least I am not obessed..so I guess I kinda fulfil that too. Here are somemore...

"Most typical Libras are not overly fond of vigorous, sweaty exercise. This offends their preference for a harmony of the senses. Whever exercise they do, it must enable them to stay relatively neat and unruffled. Many Libras have a lasting interest in the arts. Of these, music is a high priority."

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE ABOUT ME!!! All of it!!

"People who exhibit the physical characteristics distinctive of the sign of Libra are not easy to describe, since there is no typical Libran feature, except for the dimple. It is a Libran habit to spend time deciding what to wear each morning and to change clothes during the day if the occasion demands it. "

THIS IS ALL TRUE TOO!! Especially the clothes part!! But not the dimple part because I don't have one..

Oh man..this is freaking..But now at least I know that sometimes I act the way I do is because of my horoscope and not because of anything else..kinda makes me feel better..LOL.

**Anyway, does anyone knows why Fabian Bathez is not playing goalkeeper for France during the world cup qualifer last sat??

Got lots to do..so I end here. Cheerios guys..
