Summary on SG IDOL:
i'm wondering how many of my readers are singapore idol viewers.
Olinda was being 'usual'. Good but 'usual'. Usual interpretation, usual song and usual presentation. No breakthroughs watsoever. Losing her appeal slowly.
Beverly (MY choice) did a wrong song. Her voice still rocks but think she didn't impress anybody. Especially e 80% of viewers out there waiting to boot her.
Jerry Ong. I quote Dick Lee. "Jus Get Out."
Daphne and Leandra : Both normal. Daphne is still Little Miss Cupcake, (my brother : " I could pinch her to death" ) She's so sweet. And not sickeningly so. She's like nonya kueh. (i can imagine Florence Lian making such a comparision. ew. so local. ) And for Leandra, not a wonderful choice of song but i think it shows her ability to take on variety. As opposed to many other contestants that will exhaust their doable songs in 3 weeks. She's got shi2 li4 and that will keep her going. She can do ANY song and make it sound good. She should do Baa Baa Black Sheep for the next round or sth.
They are definitely going in. Teen favourites.
Maia , yawn.
Sylvester! Sly! (MY NEW CHOICE) I can't believe i'm rooting for this rocker-wannabe. Hmm. I've given up on beverly cos she jus isn't popular. And popularity is e ONLY thing u need in dis competition. (think jerry) Haha. He's damn cute. In a very carebearish (not bradpittish) sense. Very VERY amiable. He's gonna be e next local fav. Move off oli. And guess wat meiling! He din do any BryanAdamsRodStewartSting song! He actually did " He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" . I was in anticipation for a (positive) breakthru and yeah i got it. Tho he went flat a few times but it was a good changeover. I think i like him cos he's a chinese rocker. haha.
David Yeo is my 2nd fav. HE IS HILARIOUS.
Ken Lim : Do u think u are better than e other contestants?
David : (shock) HAR? How can ask this kind of questions one? Er... how to answer?
Ken (smiling) : Well i'm asking you : Do u think u are better?
David : Errr... (in thought) (decides) (heck it) YES! (darlie smile) haha!
(w Gurmit)
David : (protesting) I thought he was supposed to comment then he suddenly asked me a question!
Haha funny cute guy! think law student. think ah beng, think Darlie smile, vote david yeo. Can't believe he's in law. Not our typical law student i see.
Christopher Michael. WORST performer for this week. Beating Jerry. And I-weekly poll for SG Idol favourite result : Him. I wonder how the crowd will vote. But when this guy " plays golf with my family for leisure ", i think we know why e votes are coming in ANYWAY. He IS cute. But "You're Still You" ? Another 100 years maybe. And i think e viewers know his fate: a 19 year old charmer in suits too matured for him, belting out operatic-pop classics and falling flat. There's no sign of energy in him. Yea and he slurs. (from e back of e throat lazily) "Errrr yeahhhh" But he's quite entertaining la. The way he talks.
SO WHO'S GOING OUT? ZY PREDICTION :
BYE BEV. (sigh...u should go for talentime instead)

" (oh man) i'm freezing away at the train station in slovenia right now. cold and sleepy. "
I was snuggling on my bed in camp on a chilly afterain morning as i read this message. And despite the rock i was having in my head, i recall making an association between it and Nicole Kidman at the train station in The Hours and Jim Carrey at his in Eternal Sunshine. And i see you sitting at the only station in 10 miles, with your nose red and eyes dead, with your pair of glasses, wrapped in thick wool and scarved. The sky is grey in the way i always thought it'll be in London. There's something in the air, a cross between snow, haze, rain and falling leaves. There you were alone. Cold and sleepy. And definitely grumpy. I sniffed in my bed. You sniff in my imagery. And though i was reading your message 2 hours late, i thought, we weren't that far apart after all. I am cold and sleepy too. And then i fell asleep again.

Like how fireworks burst tirelessly into rains of sparks and how candles melt over themselves into old and sad wax chandeliers, we played and tired ourselves silly.
For that brief moment the three of us were sitting one behind another on the tiny steps on the playground, waiting for the digicam timer to go off and another moment to be captured into two dimensional eternity, I realised that the three of us were growing up very quickly. And how we would rather not.
Candles stuck on the railings, the steps and along the crown of our little playground, plastic castle. Sparklers with their short-lived glory, choking us (Hao Nan Guo Hao Nan Guo) in sulfurous ferocity. Its cure, the almond jelly we dug up with our dirty fingers , we ate, almost tasting our intimacy.
Its funny how taking photos and recording videos have become our main activity in almost every outing. I think we love to remember.
This has been a great great holiday for the three of us. And i miss lauren too.

I was cooking noodles for jj and myself at his place. It was ridiculous : I was in my long-sleeved Levis shirt, contacts and jeans, stirring instant noodles in a dented pot. (he claimed he couldn't cook because his legs were gone after the army half marathon but there he was standing beside me talking all the time. Okay maybe he was slumped on the kitchen floor. gross.)
There we were slurping up strands of chick mee (chickmee. weakknee. britney. spears.) and watching MTVs. I washed up the dishes after that (He had to get a pail of water to flush down the food remnants i stupidly threw straight into the rubbish chute)
I thought then, one day i've gotta make this ignorant best friend of mine to go live with me for 1 mth and i'll let (make) him eat really well - no more packed dinners fm hawker stores , no more instant mee and even if there was gonna be instant mee, i'll have prawns and an egg in it. And no more two packs of Lays as pre-dinner snacks. How unhealthy.

Bilingual people are sexy. Not Allan Wu or Sharon Au bilingual. Think Diana Ser (i can't even think of a famous,male bilingual personality) Oh wait. there's me.
teehee.

I love my parents. Even if the thought of "moving out as soon as possible" has crossed my mind a thousand times. Even if i am always exasperated with them when they do not understand. Even if petty me gets upset when they are going to have their anniversary dinner without me. I love them.
How could i ever think of giving up two people who love me so wholeheartedly and selflessly for that someone dat hasn't even appeared, who i assume will give me the love (if it exists) that could trump anything, anyone or any other love?
Its not even about being contented. Its about looking around and finally noticing something that has always been there.
