Title of Harry Potter's Last Book

The book title is out!!! It is

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The title is 'leaked' out to the public a few days ago... Actually, the author JK Rowling has a little hangman game on her official website to let the fans play while guessing the title.. you will have to go to http://www.jkrowling.com and click on the eraser in the middle of her page... I got to play the game and guessed the title before the news leaked out...

Too bad people, when I went to check out, that page with the hangman is closed...

I hid the title in case that page is open again and people want to play that hangman game. If u just want to know the title, highligh that blank spot.

I will buy the book!! To complete my collection!! I currently have 6 harry potters' books!!

And I hope that the book is thicker than The Order of the Phoenix because I don't want the series to end so fast!!!

Anyway, I found this very fun game online. It's not really a game, it's actually a virtual community whereby u can chat and play around. The website is http://www.vlb.mtv.com. It's actually depicted from the MTV show Laguna Beach. It's a fun game. U can chat with people (although most of them are from USA), buy clothes to change (there are some very cool clothes like burberry's..), buy a car, get a house for a party and stuff. But it keeps hanging my laptop!!! )= I have to uninstall it. If anyone has no problem with it help me ok?

Anyway, 2007 is coming in a couple of hours. My new year resolution is:

1. Work harder in studies and get the results I want and capable to get. ( This is a must for me. I am NOT happy with the results I get.)
2. Save more money.
3. Be nicer to my parents and friends.
4. Jog more and exercise more.
5. Eat more healthy.
6. Think more positive thoughts.
7. Dance more if possible.
8. DO more housework!!
9. Just be happy.

Oh well there are so much more... better keep it as it is now.

Cheerios.

Happy 2007 everyone!!!

Michael Phelps

Finally can use the internet after the taiwan earthquake. Seriously, I am addicted to YouTube. A few days not being able to watch videos is actually killing me!!

Michael Phelps in some swimwear advertisement...

I found this picture online...

Never thought that he can look so good!! I mean, he is gd-looking and all, but I never thought he can look so good for an advertisement!!

Nicole is going berserk over that picture if she reads my blog... let that picture be a reward for her reading my blog then.

But I still take his toothy smile anytime.

Speaking of Nicole my Big Poo, she is really making me speechless. I saw her at Tampines train station...she was walking towards the escalator to the platform. I called her several times but she didn't even look at me!! Then, as I climbed up the steps of the escalator, I realised that she couldn't hear me at all and so I poked her in her butt twice with my umbrella!! I extended it to reach her as she was standing some distance from me. I had to poke her damn hard!! This girl ah.. next time people must touch her twice in her butt before she realised that she shouldn't be touched in that area...

Linda, don't be sad la. Life is like that, ups and downs. Things will work out in the end... Enjoy ur single life for a while. And maybe feast ur eyes on some good eye candy on the web!! These Phelps pictures are for u!!! (If u wan them...)

And u know, my life sucks too... it just sucks in a different way from urs that's all...)=

Results is horrible

Results is horrible. Cap not much change. Finance and MA are horrible. So should I choose finance as my major?

But the problem is my result for marketing mod that I took before sucks too. So does it mean now that I choose the wrong faculty??

It's all down to MS. If MS grade was better I will never end up with that cap. Screw MS.

I passed genes!! Thank gdness I did not s/u it because I did better in genes than MA. And so Linda said that maybe I should have been in Arts or Science faculty instead..

Haiz. I should live with my choices.

Timetable planning time!! Cya guys. Hope everyone is fine.

Cheerios.

Headache

Don't ask me what I am majoring in, I have no idea.

Don't ask me what modules to take, I have no idea.

Don't ask me about timetable, I have no idea.

Don't ask me about my results tml, cos this time, I have an idea that it sucks.

Finance or marketing?? What should I take??

Can I be like Linda, who seems to know exactly what she wants...

Somebody please help me and reason with me .... cos honestly I really don't know....

P.S. Irene, after watching Love Actually, I wish I was the Portugese girl who has a man learning how to speak portugese just for her... hahahhaha

200th post... and survivor cook islands

This is my 200th post!!! Landmark post!!! I never thought I would hang on my blog for so long but I did so this is something to be happy about... yeah!!

Anyway, I am watching faithfully every week Survivor Cook Islands and resisting the temptation to find the videos on youtube or going to the official website to check out who is out or who won the game because channel 5 is showing them a few weeks later than in USA. Don't ask me why am I still watching survivor because I myself have no idea why. But this time, I have to say that the 13th season (yes 13th) is actually good. Usual backstabbing and bitching, but there are more twists (like the opportunity to join another tribe if u want to) that makes the whole show interesting.

I am supporting Ozzy and Yul. I love Ozzy and him winning challenges for Aitu and Yul being smart about the game. Not to mention, both men are cute!!! LOL... I hope for an Asian to win this time, because as far as I know no Asian American won it before. But I can't decide who I preferred between Yul and Ozzy.

With luck, they may end up in final 2. But I won't know who to choose between them then.

I like Candice for I think she is a strong girl and pretty. But after she backstabbed my fave tribe I hate her and want her to go out. And I think that she likes Adam(from Raro the other tribe) and Adam likes her. It's the look they give each other... will they be Rob and Amber No 2??

Anyway now I preferred Parvati to Candice. Parvati is cuter.

I know a lot of people don't understand what I had just said but I don't care. I like this season's survivor.

Other shows that are must-catch: Prisonbreak, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance.

Shit, I am supposed to plan my timetable but the biz website is not loading..

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Cheerios.

The Holiday, Night at the Museum

So 2 movies within 3 days.... So shiok!! As a lot of people know, I am a huge movie fan. Have to catch all the movies worth watching or else will sulk the whole day... or month.

So I watched The Holiday, which is not a bad show with the exception of Adeline who kept telling me that she hates Cameron Diaz and that she can't act. I like christmas romantic movies (yes yes I'm an uncool nutter) , which is why I can't wait for Love Actually to be showed on channel 5 on 24 dec.

And Jude Law is cute!!

Next is Night at the Museum with zoe and jul. The movie was so much fun!! I love Owen Wilson!!

"Dumb Dumb, I want my gum gum."

"SSSSIIILLLEEENNCCCEEE!!! My dumb dumb friend wants to speak."

No idea what I am talking about? U got to watch the movie to find out what I am talking about...

Next one, The Gong Li show!!! I think it's called the curse of the golden flower...

Movies and dancing and of course MEN

Studio Wu has opened a branch in Eastpoint!! WooHoo!! I am very happy about this because if I resign up for another package, I will not have to travel all the way to raffles place for my class! And I will save tons of cab money if I am rushing down when I'm late!!

My body is aching all over from the dancing for the free class... it's horrible. This is the evidence that I am desperately lacking of exercise. At least when there is school, I run everyday to catch the bus and the train. Nowadays, it's been sleeping all day long and slacking and eating!! Argh..

Actually, I reserved a place for street jazz from 3-4pm. But for some reason, I remembered the time as 4-5pm. And so imagine my horror when I realised that I am 50 mins late for the class!! To think that I am actually quite happy because I thought that I was early for a class for once and I thought my $3.80 cab fare was well-spent and cheap. So I went for the later class, which is j/k pop. Wah, the instructor's warm up is horrible for me... left me aching all over. But the dance was okay...

This free class has tempted me to join again... but I'm so broke from all the outings and shopping!! I am not sure whether I can part with that money...

Anyway, watch Eragon on fri. Was quite a nice movie and the guy Edward Speleers is lustful!!! LOL... I love this quote of in the movie "Not 15, not 16, BUT 17 years old..." And he has abs despite being 19 years old (actual age)!!! Guys, now there is no excuse that being too young to have no abs!! Hahahaha...

And if I am not mistaken, this is the first movie that Joss Stone has acted in!!

So now, my current movie listing is as followed:

1. Elizabethtown
2. Memoirs of a Geisha
3. Matchpoint
4. Casanova
5. Final Destination 3
6. Munich
7. V for Vendetta
8. Russian Dolls
9. Mission Impossible 3
10. When a Stranger Calls
11. The Da Vinci Code
12. X-men 3 - The Last Stand
13. Over the Hedge
14. Cars
15. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men's Crest
16. The Lake House
17. Superman Returns
18. The Break Up
19. The Devil Wears Prada
20. The Departed
21. The Prestige
22. The Covenant
23. James Bond: Casino Royale
24. Eragon

With that, there will be The Holiday, Night at the Musuem, The movie of Gong Li and Chow Yun Fatt, and probably Blood Diamond before the year ends!! And with all that movies, I think I probably has broken last years record...

And talking about movies... Jul is mad over Daniel Craig, the new James Bond guy. He is not bad actually. Nice eyes, nice body, nice voice. Jul, I think, seems to be very interested in his body, esp that scene whereby he came out wading the water in a super tight speedos.... I think we will be watching a lot more of Bond movies as long as Craig is James Bond. Not that I mind actually...

But as we all know, almost a few other actors got that role. In my opinon, one of them is quite right for that role actually. His name is Goran Visnjic. He acts as Dr Luka Kovac in the drama ER. Quite charming and tall as well. He actually reminds me a little of George Clooney. Apparently, I read somewhere that he actually went as far as meeting with the director. If u are wondering about the weird spelling of his name, that is because he is born in Croatia.

So which is the one man I am crazy over right now?? I have no idea. Orlando Bloom is still high on my list, along with jonathan rhys meyers and my tom cruise.... maybe it's them?? Hahahha...

I know I sounded bimbotic and boy-crazy now...

Cheerios.

I've been taking all the shit

My nick has that phrase for a long time. As u can tell, I am feeling pretty shitty today.

I've been warned by a friend that it's not nice to talk about my grieves and sorrows or injustice on my blog. She would rather me to tell her in person. How do u tell a person that whatever I was feeling is not able to be directed to 1 person actually? The purpose of me not telling her the whole story is that I don't want her to feel that it's her fault. It was never her fault in the beginning. I feel that maybe talking on my blog will spare the person involved some embarrassment.

Still, I am going to be unclear in my entry.

I am just sick and tired. I don't understand. This is not exactly how I am feeling but it's the best that I can put in words. I actually have no idea how to put what I'm feeling in words. I am not asking for anything. I am just asking for someone to remember me and how I am feeling whenever something was planned.

Am I considered too selfish to want to protect my own feelings?

Maybe I am. I have been shady and horrible again. And I know. I shall try not to the next time.

Forget it. None of u guys are reading this anyway.

But sometimes I couldn't help but wonder, is someone missing me right now? Am I important to anyone? Do u want to tell me ur joy, ur sorrow or whatever u are feeling right now with me? Do u want me share ur pain and joy? Am I remembered? Am I loved? Are my friends really there for me as me or just someone who is has crossed their lives? Will someone remember me when I leave their lives? Or am I just someone so small that no one will notice me even if I am gone for a long time?

I doubt myself all the time. I doubt my abilities, my brains, my personality, my choices in life, my life, my intelligence (if I have any). I doubt my life.

As said, I have been taking all the shit.

And I shall continue to take it.

Signing out.

P.S. Thank goodness that my mum brought me out for shopping and bought a lot of stuff for me. Or else I would have been feeling horrible the whole day...

South African Music...and Handsome Men

Oh yeah. My favourite topic. LOL.

I found this artist like 3 years ago from South Africa who is superb!! At least, I think he is superb. Jul also kinda thought the same way... and his name is Danny K!! He kinda reminds me of Justin Timberlake who is making music similar to Craig David.. not to mention he is gorgeous! New album picture taken from here.

Sorry there is no better picture of him but it's kinda hard to look for his picture online since he is only well-known in SA...

And he has a new album!! This time, I am not going to ask whoever is going to South Africa to buy it for me because I know no one will be going there... unless I am prepared to wait for 4 years when everyone is rushing there for the World Cup 2010. Still sorting out some details with the website and if everything goes well, I can order the CD online!! I can't wait!!

And strangely enough, I found his videos on YouTube!! YouTube is my best friend now because I can find a lot of stuffs there!! I actually tried looking for Danny's videos on YouTube last week but I can't find anything. And now, I actually can find his video of his new song Shorty that features Whistlejacket!! Yes!! I am so happy!!



I actually think this video of his is a little corny because of his shades and black outfit... and actually I prefer his other songs on his album than this song. But this song is not bad and I like it!!

Fun Fact: Shorty is a slang term for 'cute girl'.

His official website has snippets of his whole album and my fave is Real Man. If you guys interested in listening to the whole song can go to this website. Scroll to the right and at the tophand corner u can see a player to play the whole of 4 of his songs.

I really think he really worth a listen. Trust me.

Another handsome guy... Wentworth Miller of Prisonbreak. He is absolutely gorgeous!!! Ah!!! And Prisonbreak is such a great show!!!! My mum loves it too!! Ahh!!!

Picture link here.

Now I kinda feel like working a little for some money. Not working for the whole month, because I think working for the entire month may just do me more harm than good. But kinda feel like looking for event jobs now to earn a little money because I kinda want to splurge a little this month. But no lobang coming my way.... so rotting at home these few days. Now thinking back, I should have went ahead this French fair thing that Linda has introduced to me. It was for a few days but I rejected it thinking that if I have to look for other jobs that french jobs will hinder my progress. Should have jumped right to it. But now I am kicking myself in the ass for rejecting...

Sigh. Got to learn to let go.

Going back to enjoy my Danny K. South African artists can rock too!!

Btw, Linda, if u want to watch the unaired version of Charmed, click on the link here. U can find the rest of the links at the side under the heading "Related.

I have no such luck

I have been watching excessive tv recently. The Amazing Race, Nip/Tuck. Project Runway, Las Vegas, One Tree Hill, Asian Games, CSI, The Ellen De-something Show, The Tyra Banks Show blah blah blah. I love watching talkshows!! I think Channel 5 did a great job by importing such talkshows in sg. Now they are lacking talkshows with male hosts such as Jay Leno and David Letterman... they cracked the hell out of me when they appeared on emmys or academys or whatever dmys they have...

As I watched TAR and one of the teams I was supporting won, I realised that I have always been lucky with TAR. This time I was supporting Tyler and James (and they won) and the blondes Dustin and Kandice. Almost every time the team that I supported won every season. BJ and Tyler, Flo and Zach blah blah blah. I am pretty lucky with Survivor too. But I am not so lucky with American Idol. As I told jul before and big poo just now, my fave ALWAYS ends up in runner-up. Clay Aiken, Diana DeGarmo, Bo Bice and Katherine Mcphee!! Argh!! So next time don't support the idol I am supporting!!

And I found Clay Aiken being a guest on Tyra Banks show!! He is like my favourite idol contestant out of all the 5 seasons. It's such a great interview and they looked like they can talk for hours!! There are 4 parts to it, and I am not putting everything down, but the last part of the interview is funny!!!


The other links of the interviews are as followed:

Clay's Interview Part 1

Clay's Interview Part 2

Clay's Interview Part 3

Cheerios... I hope everyone will enjoy the interview as much as I do...

Ian Thorpe Retirement Official

Taken from SwimNews.com, the article is as followed:

" Thorpe Retirement Official
Dec 9, 2006 Craig Lord
Alan Thompson, head coach to the Dolphins, has confirmed to the Australian media that he has received official notification of Ian Thorpe's retirment and has forwarded it to FINA, the International Swimming Federation.
No way back, then, for Thorpe, at least not without serving a nine-month waiting period, during which he must be drug-tested but would not be allowed to race.
Thorpe will be honoured at the a special dinner for swimmers who have retired on Monday night in Brisbane, where Australia's trials for the 2007 world championships end that day. He will be surrounded by the active Dolphins one last time in that sense. A poignant moment.
"

Suckers..... no way back for him. Even though I don't believe he will come back ( I see my cup as half empty this time...), I held on a tiny hope that he will come back swimming... now the hope has been even tinier, if there is such a word.

This Really Sucks...

And So It Continues

I know I am a fanatic for Goo Goo Dolls, and so I am. I actually been re-watching some parts of the dvd during my mugging period to let loose some of my frustration. And I found some videos from the concert on youtube!!

First up, it's the song Two Days In February... it's written long long ago in 1991 and a great song. Jul already seen this video and she thought the song was nice.... The song was sung when there was a huge downpour and that rain makes it even more special...

Also the lyrics are kinda scary!! It's so honest!!


And of course, the song IRIS... I thought this is the best song on the whole dvd. Not because I love that song, but it's because the whole crowd actually sang the song in unison without john singing in the rain. It was so amazing. And honestly, the rain was really huge!! I read somewhere that it's actually one of the heaviest rainstorms ever to hit Buffalo, where the concert was held. It's so nice to know that there are so many royal fans for the Goos...


I really thought that this dvd is worth all the money I spent.

And Linda, did u remember that the Goos actually appeared on charmed twice?? I only remember once, but I read somewhere that they actually appeared on that show twice. I found the video of the first time they appeared on the show...



Linda, if u know what is the other episode's title with Goos can u please tell me? Thanks...

And lastly, I found this Pirates of the Caribbean's Bloopers... which is really funny. Have to watch this... cracks me up so badly...



It's so funny!!! Esp when Johnny's wig got stuck to the jar and can't pull it out... Orlando laughed so badly... and Johnny saying "What is the bloody thing called?" and one of the best "I can't read my own writing..."


There are more videos actually. Will post them next time.

Cheerios.

Exams Afterthoughts

Yes! As said, exams is finally over!! I am seriously dreading 26 Dec because that is the day results is out!! This sem was really horrible because I cannot finish 4 papers out of 5 and the papers are so hard!! Esp MA and finance... I am seriously worried about those 2 papers. And Yuxin is right, everything is tested in Genes paper. I thought that we only need to know the scientific part of the module but I never realised that they actually will test on history!! Who cares which case is the first one to be solved by DNA fingerprinting?? As for OM... it was like "Argh!!"

So this means that all 5 papers of mine are gone. Shit.

But it's over. At least I get to enjoy my christmas, like what Linda said.

And yingqi told me about Gorlie and his friends' little 'antics' and it was super funny.

And now I need to decide on my major... argh.

But for now I think I can spare a few days of fun. Already planning christmas stuff with my friends and some shopping outings. Can't wait!!

Anyway, been keeping tabs on Ian Thorpe's news. Seems like he has not taken himself off the drug register which means that he may want to have a comeback if his other ventures don't work out. Linda thought that if his tv careeer doesn't work out, he may come back to swimming. Yingqi thought that he will flop in tv. I am not so sure. I don't know how his tv career may work out, but I am more convinced that he will not come back to swimming. After all, he is a guy who always go for new ventures and he doesn't strike me as a kind of guy who will go back to something just because another thing don't work out. But I don't know. I still hope that he will come back to swimming!

Anyway, I found some very funny pictures of Ian. Have a little look...




And my fave during his retirement speech session...


Others include:

And when Ian is 14 years old...


Alright, I better go. Got so much to say but I can't remember what I want to put down.

I shall see u all soon. Cheerios.

P.S. Yuxin!!! 8 Dec will come very fast. Hang in there!!

It's FINALLY OVER!!!

Yes my exams is over!!! Argh!!! Finally!!! Haven't been feeling so free for so long...

And haven't been blogging since last mth.

Lots of thoughts, but will post more tml. I am so tired after sleeping for 2 hrs before going for Operation Management exams... and the paper was awfully draining...

Better hit the bed now before my dark eyes circles really come out and become really obvious!!! Like what Nicole my Big Poo said!!

Updates tml!! Linda, I Promise!!

Anyway, something really super irrelevant. My handsome singer and craze-of-the-moment John Rzeznik of Goo Goo Dolls is having his birthday today!!! Ok...yesterday (Dec 5) since it's past 12am already. He has officially turned 41 years old...

But the age doesn't matter to him since the older he gets, the more charismatic and handsome he is... (=

Cheerios.
