DAVID COOK: The Next American Idol

Yes, I have made up my mind, I want David Cook to be the next American Idol!

So Jacuzzi Chikeze is out. I actually agree with Simon on his performance being cheeze, I mean, outting the hand into the croup, holding and looking into the eye on one....so totally NOT!!! (Eww, I sound like a b.i.m.b.o.)


I think the only two who was great this week were Michael johns and of course DAVID COOK!! It was really a coincidence coz earlier in the day I was sorta like imagining performing We Will Rock You on stage, and shit, Michael was exactly what I was imagining earlier. Totally solid performance.
David Cook I must say is the most musically talented person on American Idol ever. Okayh, I did not watch teh first 2 seasons and only half of Season 3 with Fantasia.. but he is really talented, not singing-wise but his performance, arrangement, instrument aspecially arrangement. Who would have thought M.J.'s Billy Jean could be sung like that:a rock ballad! Worked out awesome though the chorus abit not right sounding la, but the pre chorus was Incredilous! I'm so downloading his version.
The rest was just okayh, though I must say, Kristy finally picked the right song. Ramielle and Syesha is really starting to get real boring. I still believe in Brooke to be the next best competitor. David Archuleta and Jason Castro is still there of their pretty faces. At least David A. can sing, Jason is really like a busker in an underground train tunnel.

So that's all. Go Go David Cook!

heheh, a break...so called

Kinda long eh since my last post. So assignments all over. Handed in all already. WooHoo!! Can Relax!!! OH WAIT!! @#%*#$@, a 15 page assignment of proposal, planning and report??!?!!? %#&^%*@@ Another assignment from MsLim today?? Pretty heavy this Public and Media Relations subject.



Okay, so I totally liked the assignment on culture. We decided to research on Mohandas Gandhi(No, Mahatma is not his first name ok?). Really interesting research, learned about India's history alot. Even included words by Russell Peters: England has the largest population of Indian people outside of India.



The best thing was, I only got inspiration to type the whole damn report after midnight. I could have sat throughout the entire afternoon without completing a paragraph. After midnight, fuyoh, inspiration, typed so many pages. Though I had to make time for the Arsenal Chelsea game. Omg, I hate you Drogba!!! We were leading and freaking Chelsea caught up to win 2-1. Yea, that meant $$$ flying away from me. And you had to put Man U at the top!! I still believe in you, youngsters of Arsenal, don't give up, the season's not over.



So yeah, had our presentation too. Freaking dressed so formal while other group were in jeans, shorts and tees. Felt awkward coz it was a really simple a much too short kind of presentation. Love this group photo though.






Thought I'd have a lil breather today. Joined Crystal, Krystel(no, not sisters), Jeremy, Ben, Tiffany, and Krystel's bf for a movie. Freaking last movie I watched in a cinema was Transformers. Bugger, damn long ago. Anyway, went to watch Ah Long Pte.Ltd. Went into the movies late coz rushed from class and missed the part where Kingston appeared in the movie. Damn funny movie if you understand all the dialects of chinese. Mandarin, Canto, Hokkien, all campur. Luckily, I did a catch the jokes a lil. Laughed damn freaking loud. Halfway thru the movie, I had a reminder on my phone. Oh crap, I forgot all about CSS gathering. Oh dear, so sorry.



Slipped into one of these girly accessory shop after coz Crystal wanted to get some ear-rings. Found this pirate/singh's konde bandana and had fun with it.



Tomorrow's for badminton. Yeah, newly restringed racquets and 1 month of not holding it at all. I'm gonna wake up with body aches the next morning again la...

Yeah, to make matters worse, I left my Ori Arsenal Nike cap at church last night. Hope I still will see it around. I need something to cover my ugly hair at the moment la. I miss my long hair. Just waiting for it to grow back, argghh!!


I won't be updating on AI this week la, too beezee. As beezee as a bee. lmao.

GSC youths Overnight Vigil

Geez, staying up the whole night organizing an overnight event is a tiring thing. By the around 5 or 6am I was already yawning away. I guess, it was partly due to the busy day I had before.
Wow, a great experience spending the night with a whole bunch of young people, singing (loud), dancing (hard), praising (God) and praying (zzz). First time ever, the youths of Good Sheperd Church has organised an overnight vigil in conjunction with Lent and Easter. A great huge congrats and job well done to the committee for being able to organised such a great event for young people. Enjoyed my time with you guys and glad I could help out abit. A record(so-so) for the youths too for getting a rather large number of participants this time, 70 is a good number to start with.

A perfect timing for all activities/sessions from 9pm the night before till 7.30 in the morning. Food was great, people were fantastic participants. Even had some 'outsiders' from St John's, St Joseph's and Jesus Caritaz.




Activities at the vigil was awesome. Even Fr. Philip Muthu's session was not at all, boring. First time experiencing the washing of the feet. Although, I was the last in the circle so I had the basin of dirty water and cloth full of dirt. But it was an enlightening and humbling experience.




I enjoyed the praise and worship session too. Glad to be playing the keyboard for the event although towards morning, I was too sleepy and was losing concentration and I kept hitting the wrong chords.

The Rosary session was very 'touching' coz hot candle was dripping and touching my fingers. Had a very 'warm' feeling during the rosary. Later, we all ahd to scrape candle wax from the floor, oh the agony.




Great job to those who acted the passion play/way of the cross. Very realistic, everyone was feeling the moment until Vincent's soldier pants dropped and laughter filled the air. After that, even the girls who were supposed to be crying on stage sounded like they were trying to hide their laughter.

All in all a great experience. Right now i'm still feeling the effects of staying up whole night though I did try it a few times bcoz of assignments, football, gambling and lepak/chit-chat.

Goodbye David 'scary eyes' Hernandez

Okay, for those of you who has a hard time figuring out why I'm writing about American Idol so much, itz coz I like to watch... duh. And I like to talk about it. Not many people in college watch it though coz hard to get Astro or they rather watch Project Superstar or something.


So back to the story, I was pretty close on my predictions. Kristy is still in but she was in the bottom two. Finally the contestant I most dislike has left the show. Good good.

I hope the rest will do better in the next shows. But its hard to top it eh.


Anyway, rushing off for dinner now, my dad's birthday. Go eat western today. later...

Top 12 showdown


I think this is the best show so far for this season of American Idol. Really loved some of the performances. Though there were some major upsets too.


David Archuleta forgot his words. Biggest mistakes a person could make on the show. Sang terrible. It should've been his night with a slow, good McCartney-Lennon song like Yesterday, but no, Simon had to tell him to try an upbeat song.

Kristy's attempt to change her song into a country feel might just get her booted from the show this week.

Loved Chikeze Eze tonight. Was very good at improvising the song arrangement. He got drunk on stage and gave his best performance of the season.

Brooke took it risky by singing Let It Be and playing the piano, did well.

David Cook is the best guy on stage. Simon said if this show was based on pure talent and not on popularity, he would've been on his way to win.

Carly finally found the right song, and damn she was good tonight. Perfect song for her voice and style. More of this kinda song Carly!!!

The rest were just ok and forgettable. Ramielle was boring, so was Jason, David Hernandez, and Syesha. Michael Johns and Amanda was a lil better than ok.


Verdict: bye Kristy. bye sweet pretty and hot Kristy. You will be missed but not your country song.

Monday

Today is Tuesday. But I'll talk about yesterday coz I didn't have a chance to on the computer yesterday.



Monday, same old boring stupid monday. Not for me. I didn't go for class today coz I had today is my music exam day. Yamaha Electone organ exam to be exact. Went together with Stacy to Taman Midah in Cheras. Wanting to be ready and early, we accidentally arrived there an hour and a half too early. Surprisingly, the wait in the hall passed kinda fast for me given the fact that I was so damn nervous. Everytime I get nervous on the organ, my leg start shaking and I have to ease off the pedal. Shit it happened again!

My Stagea Mini Electone



Overall, the exam went on fine. I made a bit of mistakes here and there, alot come to think of it. It took only about 5-10minutes and by 1pm I was home already.



Juyi was over at my house this afternoon, and just watching me laze the whole day at home watching my DVD collection and Astro, she was quick to tell me that I was so lazy. I even rememberd her clearly saying that I was so unproductive. So I did take her advice and went to the gym with Roshen(Singh) at night.



Freaking intimidated when I got there. All BIG sized guys at that gym. It was one of those rough and tough workout gyms for bodybuilder wannabes which I've only been to once. It was probably over a year now since I stepped into a gym and previously was at the Melawati club which was one of those air-conditioned, high class ala Fitness First or California Fitness where aunties and uncles are all either on the treadmill, bicycle, or one of those pedalling stuff.



It seemed as though Roshen's only motivation to do more workout was Divya. For every five times he did, he said he will be able to talk to Divya sooner. Stupid. Hey Divya if you ever read this, dun take it so hard on him la ok? He like to joke only.



Hey, RM3 per entry is not bad at all, equipments were the real custom made stuff, sorta like metal rigs with weights here and there. Smell of sweat, walls covered with photos of bodybuilders(men and women). There was even a photo of a guy which look like he's from another planet or mutated. It was freaking ugly and disgusting. His chest, shoulder and biceps muscles made him look like he had 3 pairs of Pamela Anderson's boobs.(Didn't manage to take any photos la) I sweared last night that I would wake up with my whole body aching like nobody's business.



And YES, I manage to wake up and get out of my bed thank God. Though, whole day my body ached when I twist or stretched. Woke up at 7.30 to send my father to the LRT station. He had to go to Singapore on a business trip and will only be back on his brithday which is Thursday.



Ken finished his NS training, so tonight All of us including him will go out makan and play pool before they (Form 5's) take their SPM result. God, I can rmbr the day I took mine, nothing significant except for the fact that I got a single D7 for freaking Bible Knowledge. Spoil my results sheet only.



Went to class today, both boring. We're all fretting about our assingments. I called a PR consultant today to ask for an interview but was simply brushed off and told me to call back tomorrow. I guess PR people are really extremely busy guys la. Sometimes I wonder if I actually chose the right career path.



That's all for now, Cheerio...

AI, Top 12

Just a short update.
The results are out and my predictions are pretty good.
Kady Malloy, Luke Menard, Asia'h Epperson and Danny 'gay' Noriega says goodbye.

Sweet gal, Ramiele cried like hell throughout the show especially when Danny was annouced out. I think come her turn, she pengsan lah.

Paula was like standing throughout the show, as though she doen't have a seat. And maybe because she's short, she thought the hood over her head would make her a tiny itsy-bitsy taller.

Danny cried like hell too. obviously.

Well, it had to be between Asia'h or Syesha. Just when I started to remember Asia'h, she says goodbye. Oh well.

Blake's performance sucked max. Dunno what he was singing, an off tune too. Couldn't hear a word and too much 'vocal scratching'.

Today

Today is Friday the 7th of March. I woke up at 10.30am. I brushed my teeth, showered and changed. AT 11.30am, I left for college....OH, What the Heck??!!

I don't think you'll ever wanna read my blog again if I type like that. hehe.


But really, its a boring day. Two hour class today about Malaysia and human culture. Sounds like boring-ness you think? I actually like the subject. I am actually interested in the history of human being, the evolution from apes.(Yes, you an ape, man) Even history of mankind and major events. Wasn't like this in school though.


This reminds me, when we were back in Penang recently we were all talking about our animal sign based on Chinese astrology/zodiac. It turns out that me and my littlest bro, Matt are predators: snake and dragon while my parents are farm animals: chicken and pig(oink oink). My cousin quickly said "so the two predators are trying to eat the two farm animals, and you have a monkey is in the tree laughing". It was so funny, coz my other bro is a monkey.


So anyway, this is just to satisfy my blog fever... catcha later.

Top 8 girls battle it out...



okayh, girls!!! First of all, thanx to Ryan for pointing out Ramiele's short legs...& Is she a lesbian??




First up, Asia'h. What's with the name? Does the 'H' help change Asia into North America?? Coz now its pronounced Asia...Haaa. (For those who watched Russell Peters). Anyway, singing a classic from Whitney Houston which I almost always hear it on my dad's lite.fm tuned car radio. I wouldn't say bad. In fact I like her unique voice.




Kady Malloy aka Britney Spears sound-alike. Other than her Britney impersonation, there's nothing else good about her. Her face is always sulky. I feel she has an unfriendly personality. Singing a Queen song this week, she probably did a little better but still not good enough, so...Bye Kady.




Amanda aka rocker nurse. Wow, phenomenal??!! Judges said it was so good. Simon thought it was fantastic. I think she was, based on the fact that she chose a Joan Jett(I Love Rock and Roll) song and she was in her element. Try something different lah... But I like her to stay longer too.




Carly Smithson aka arm-tattooed Irish. There's such high expectations of her. I mean is she really that good Simon? I don't like her voice, I feel its a little too sharp and annoying to the ear. Judges liked it although Simon had higher expectations still.




Kristy aka dog-girl(*****). Possibly the girl with the best personality and the prettiest. She is doing quite fine with her country road to stardom. I just feel that she's probably being compared to Carrie Underwood. Tonight she sang well but sadly, I can't remember it well.




Ramiele Malubay aka Lullaby Malubay. The only Asian American. The fact that she's Filipino just makes me pay more attention to her. Small and cute(Thanx alot Ryan for the short legs comment), she may be sometimes judged on her size. I feel that her performances are always just alright and resembles a hotel lobby performer. By the way, Filipinos are great karaoke and hotel lobby singers so...there you go. Great job tonight taking on a Phil Collins song just like David Archuleta. Oh by the way there is a rumour going on about Ramiele being a lesbian b'coz of some leaked boob-grabbing photos of her.




Brooke aka Dish washing ad girl. Sang 'Love is a Battlefield' with only an accompaniment of a single guitar. Really showed her voice tonight. She may be in the top 6 or so, I won't be surprised. Great acoustic version of the song and a great vocal although sitting the whole way through on the stage is not a good performance.




Syesha aka ...err.. 'boringnyer'. Syesha and Asia'h are probably competing like hell with each other coz they are probably getting the same group of voters. At the moment, I can see Syesha topping Asia'h. Singing Whitney Houston's 'Saving all My Love for You', not a bad performance at all. I don't know why the judges gave such short comments like Good(Randy), Sophisticated(Paula) and predictable but good(a lil more effort from Simon finally). I guess they ran out of time.




My predictions: bye Kady. one more is really hard to say. Its probably between Syesha, Kristy and Carly(don't be surprised)




P.S. thanx Celine coz u asked me to thank you.....

American Idol Top 16, guys nite


First thing I have to highlight here is Danny Noriega is such a GAY!!!


Here's my review of tonights show. This weeks theme is the 80's. Hope there's none of Michael Jacko's songs. Its guys night and 8 guys left.

First up, Luke Menard. He looks like Patrick Dempsey sometimes. But he is forgettable. 'Wake Me Up Before YOu Go-Go??' C'mon, its not a competition song at all... Not good.


Danny Noriega: Gay, gay, gay. The way he moves, the way he dresses, the way he stares. From far, he looks like a girl. My dad say he should join the girls la. And just so that everyone watching could confirm it, he just had to do the 'Whatever' bimbo style after Simon's merciless comments. It did affect Simon surprisingly, coz after it backfired on himself and made fun of by the other two jokers(ooops, I mean judges), he kinda like purposely gave extremely good comments for following contestants.


David Archuleta(aaa...CHOO...): He is just so professional. With the piano intro and sad, emotional song(Phil Collins man), he is arguably the best this year. He's 17 and recovered from a vocal chord injury before. Not bad I'd say. No wonder young gals are all crazy over him. Its definitely better for girls to go crazy over him than Sanjaya.


Australian Michael Johns, Chikezie Eze and David Hernandez were just okay tonight. David Hernandez's eyes scare me sometimes. His stares are just wierd and awkward. Didn't work with him singing a Celine Dion classic. Michael Johns is like the hunk of the competition. I know he has an awesome voice (and accent), but not tonight. Chickenzee, forgettable tonight.


Jason Castro. Wonder if he's related to Cuban leaders. Sang well today although, he should have used his guitar for this song. Never heard of this Hallelujah song but loved it. Simple but needed a good voice control. Did well today but a guitar would have done it better coz the song just goes with it. Love his dreadlocks.


Last of all, rocker David Cook. Probably my favourite guy on stage. Looks so calm just as always. and 'emonizing' a Lionel Richie song? Wow, great job. (Sorry you emo haters)


Just one more comment, Paula Abdul is just there to crap. To her, everyone is great, one of the best, a bright shiny star, a potential star, have voices of a million angels, I can't even remember some of her far fetched comments. Its just silly. She talks so much, can't make a point and just concludes with something stupid like, 'you're the best' or 'the audience loves you' or 'you just captured my heart and blew me away'. Doesn't that mean killing you? No wonder Simon just can't stand her sometimes.


My predictions, two out of these three will go: Luke Menard, David Hernandez, or Danny 'gay' Noriega.


Tomorrow night: Girls nite

Elections...

Hi readers, how have you been doing?


Okay, I did say earlier that elections may not be one of the topics I would discuss but it seems the election hype is everywhere. It seems I can't ignore it any longer.


So BN is still gonna win after all. Why bother voting?(Only for certain areas) Like mine, just looking at the flags and banners, its a clear winner. Why does Keadilan even wanna spend money on any campaigning in the area. Sometimes I can see that it has become a laughing matter. Not that its not taken seriously, coz it is. Its just that, the exuberance and energy which these (political) parties put into their campaigning is I feel not practical and it is funny to watch them go to certain extents to campaign. Okay I admit, I ain't no politics scholar(not planning to) and this is just a view from an underaged-non voting Malaysian.


So you think the flags and banners and posters they hang around does any good? Do they even help decorate and beautify the place? Yes maybe, you will get some colors. But now you'll see future Mat Rempit/Mat Rempit Juniors on their bikes(bicycles that is) cycling around with a free deco item sticking out their back. Just wants to make them cycle around more to show off, don't you think? There are even some over-the-road banners which has fallen and left for vehicles to go over. Wow, good job promoting yourself eh?


I was reading kennysia.com and he had some pretty funny articles and photos about Kuching town and the DAP/Rocket thru a blue hoop. Just goes to show that their campaigning are sometimes just so over. I wouldn't be stealing stories from his blog now, so if u wanna read more about the red-rocket-thru-a-blue-hoop soft toy which looks just so ugly/perverted, visit his blog.


I guess Malaysians are people who don't really agree with a sudden drastic change. They rather have it bit by bit. A change of hand in the government will definitely affect alot of things in Malaysia. So on that piece of theory(kononnya), I can say that BN will probably stand for a very very long time. Samy Vellu on the other hand.....


later...

Malacca Trip

Here's a lil' somethin about my recent Malacca trip. Decided to go down there with a few of my classmates.




Seng Yew, Joanne, See Sin, Joseph, & Kiat Loong


Took a bus in the morning. Surprisingly comfy bus ride took about 2 hours. And it only cost RM7.80. Bloody hell, that's so much cheaper than taking an executive bus like Nice from KL to Penang. My classmate and host/tour guide, Soon Lee picked us up and got to his house in Simpang 4, Alor Gajah. Dropped our stuff off, and off for the day trip round Malacca town.

First was a meal of the famous Chicken Rice ball. It looks interesting, but really, doesn't taste too different from normal chicken rice. As for desert, we went to the nearby Tan Kim Hock dodol factory, for chendol.


Chicken Rice ball, yum-yum



Then, off to the tourist spots. Got to around Christ church, in fact I got to go inside, my first time. Really beautiful interior, with a painting of the last supper behind the altar and graves down the aisle and at the foot of every pillar. Felt pretty authentic this church.



Me in front of Christ Church


Next stop was Dataran Pahlawan and the famous A'Famosa fort. There was a busker at the ruined chuch at the top. Was pretty good.


Dataran Pahlawan & Top of A'Famosa





We even went to a buddhist temple. Supposedly the most well known and probably oldest in Malacca. All I can say is nice ceilings and rooftop decos. My first time actually being in a temple.



Can't remember the name of the temple, but a beautiful on though




Now, this is my favourite part of all. SATAY CELUP!!! Omg, you have gotta try this. Its so bloody tasty, I could eat this everyday. Sort of like Lok lok but with Satay sauce in the boiling pot.


SATAY CELUP!!! GO CRAZY MAN!!!



We manage to go to the beach(full of stones) to watch the sunset. Skipped a few rocks, and had rock throwing competition.

Sunset, peace...

Jo and me on the rocks...lol



It was time for food again. This time was really adventurous, siham(kerang) and lala in a dirty old backlane. By the way, siham and lala are types of shellfish. Before we could start, it was like the seas in the sky opening up and it poured like mad. We still managed to eat, under heavily dripping umbrellas. There was even Sotong kangkung and rojak. Supposedly a famous food spot in Malacca coz I saw newspaper clippings on the wall. Wonder if they were actually pointing out dirtiest spots to eat at. I didn't feel quite adventurous so I decided to survived on my reserve of Satay Celup in my tummy.


Take a look at that lil' rascal, come to papa....


After that, we drove around malacca town for a while, while our 'tour guide' explained. I have to say, it was an experience juz sitting in a car cruising around Malacca. Most of the roads were one way streets and we could be driving around for ages and end up at the same spot without knowing it. The roads were so beautiful coz it was like roads thru nostalgic buildings painted and lighted up in red.

Jonker street just after sunset

At the hot spring, water was so hot we had a hard time trying to soak ourselves.


On the way home, we stopped at a hot spring, and juz relaxed in the water. What a relief from a tiring day of travelling. All of us were feeling so sticky and sweaty and seriously yearning for a nice hot shower.

Got home to my friends, took a shower, and out we went again to Tampin for Satay and Char Koay Teow. Omg, The Char koay teow was arguably the best I've ever tasted. Penang's can't even beat it. We managed to drive into the A'Famosa Resort on the way home. Nice place, with a cowboy town, exclusive residence, hotels, and a safari park. It was all dark at night though.
Crazy friends drove like riders from hell. The roads were so empty around that area so we had a lil' danger fun I confess. I did freak out, mind you.


The place was so busy at 1 am, we had to bbq our own satay



By the time we got home, it was 2 in the morning. Gambled till 6 or so. Fell asleep till 12pm and caught the 3.30 bus home. This time the bus wasn't that comfy. It was hot, and bumpy. All in all a good trip. Next trip, East Malaysia(nah, juz kidding).

Friendster, Facebook, MySpace? Are they really connecting us?

Hi, I'm back. I'll probably be intensely blogging for the next few days. (You can so tell that I'm like a kid with a new toy)
So, on today's menu, we have Hi5 and Bebo and Flickr for appetizers. As for the main course, your choice of either Friendster, Facebook or MySpace. And dessert, a whole bunch of crappy sites.

I'm sure most of you have at least one account of either one of these so-called social networking websites. Some of you even have a few...ON THE SAME SITE! Oh c'mon, You have 2 or 3 or even 5 friendster accounts full? I bet you only know a handful of them. From my observation, if you have that many 'friends' on your account, you are actually a famous public figure, a model or juz extremely hot...I mean attractive.

So, are these sites actually connecting you to your friends(old schoolmates, colleagues) and are they actually creating new, good, lasting friendships? I mean if you were to actually be connected to all your friends, you would probably need to have a 2 or more different accounts on different sites. Okay, no doubt Malaysia's really wired up through Friendster and Facebook is picking up. So you have a choice. Meet only your friendster friends or only your facebook friends. I'd rather join both and keep in touch with everyone.

I believe to a certain extent that it really helps keep you connected and keep your social status going. Coz now, everyone can see who you are friends with. But face the fact, psychologically, meeting and chatting with people in person does so much more for the emotional side and helps friends bond better. Imagine this, a virtual girlfriend(or boyfriend), you like totally can't even make out...duh...

Okay, there are probably a ton of other reasons these sites are there(here...where?) for us. One I can think of is MySpace being a potential launchpad for potential musicians and stars. Like that gal who sang Bubbly(what's her name again?). She's probably the luckiest Myspace user. Myspace is primarily used by artists(singers not painters) who can't afford to set up a website to connect with their fans. And their hoping to be discovered and make it big. Just like my Aussie cousin and his band. (Hey Craig, I hope you're okay with this ...cheap advertising)
I don't really use MySpace although I have an account.

Friendster and Facebook. Friendster is like an oldtimer compared to FB(Facebook). Facebook is really big in the US. Open the IT section of the newspapers and you're bound to read a news on FB or its creator. (what's his name now...somethin Zucchini-berg?) Gosh, he's an instant millionaire for God's sake. FB is like the new, fresh, hip and happening place on the web. They have these applications which at 1st seems totally interesting and later becomes such a nuisance with all those bloody requests. And here comes dear old Friendster with the 'all-new' Friendster applications. (Which really is the same as FB's stuff) If you've noticed, friendster's full off accounts from the Philipines. Seems rather popular over there.

But I guess its fun to use these site anyway, putting up photos, videos and writing testimonials for all your friends. Even posting 'important' news on the bulletins.

The verdict: Social networking sites does help you stay connected to a certain extent in terms of number of contacts and fun virtual activities, but lack in the emotional and true friendship bonding point of view. (I feel like its the Mythsbusters now)... I would say, its plausible.

And here's a little something for all of you(still haven't found a term to address 'all of you') to laugh about.

The Facebook Song


Take the poll too ya...

Hope to c'ya again soon.

A fitting intro....or ending...

Oh well, dun(gosh, I better start using good english here) get me wrong here, its not relly(again) the end of me. Just the end of my undecided thoughts of starting a blog.(Too 'philosophical'? - wrong word to use anyway)
U c (here we go again), I am not really the type who likes to read and write, so...u get it. Besides, all I can write about are my problems, I think. Ain't such a good thing to tell the world right?

So why? Why have I started a blog? Well, a few of my friends kept telling me to, it seems they think I'm interesting. Am I? Also, I've always thought about it since like, few years back. In fact I did set up a blog, and before I could start 'blogging'(wazzup with da word anyway?!), I already forgotten the address, username and password.

Yea, so its 10 minutes past midnight on the 3rd of March, 2008. I'm sitting in front of a monitor(obviously) with my oh so uncomfortable headphones on my necks just because my speakers are plugged out temporarily. Final semester of college starts today, 12 hours or so from now. Probably another 2 or 3 months till I get my Diploma. By the way, I'm a Mass Communication student majoring in Public Relations(not 'pubic' for you jokers out there). Anyway, my study life will probably be another topic later on. Right now, I can't believe I've written so much. (Stop laughing at me you bookworms).

So, what should I be blogging about anyway? My life, I dun think there's much to add. Maybe a few moments but what else? Interesting topics I come across?(Elections' might not be it) Yea I guess I'll just blog whatever I find interesting. Hey, I heard that if blogs get real famous and there are alot of frequent visitors, the owner can earn money from ads on placed on the page. Is it true? Cool.

So, guys(people/readers/brothers from the guy in the evolution charts?!!). Yea, I should find a suitable word to call all of you readers, don't you think? So, please keep checkin out my blog, and love to have you here.

P.S. So how'd I do as an intro/1st time blogger? LOL
