I never really watch this show but my mum and sis watches this so sometimes i just vegetate in front of the box with them.
seems like the blind dude Kelvin (whom i saw his audition on tv too) and Kelly are the finalists. And i read in today's Today that lo and behold Kelly's biggest fan is a cerebral palsy patient and they had a picture of him in a wheelchair and holding her single...
There's only so many sympathy votes to go around leh....

Purchases
Stoopig aaron asked me to go have lunch and coffee with him and VON ... made me go to orchard and made me indulge in some retail therapy.... bleah.... in the end, i bought two things i've been eyeing for a long time now..
A belt..
A Crumpler pouch to put in iPod or camera or Mini... i've been holding off for some time as it's kinda bulky and tacky to be hanging by my bum..but well...yeah..

What a dumb ass...
I've been exfoliating and using the pore pack to smoothen my uber rough face and remove my innumerable blackheads for almost 3 years now.. yes.. i know all abt pore packs opening up your pores in the long run and how come ple tell me pore packs dont work.
well, they work for me. everything i use it, i remove all those disgusting yellow and oily blackheads from my nose and it's very gratifying to see them all gone n stuck on the porepack rather than residing in my nose...
well, this isnt to recount my poring exploits but rather this dumb ass thing i did when i exfoliated last sunday... i could feel that my pore pack was dried already and ready to be peeled. Moreover, i wanted to show my sis how disgusting the blackheads will be.. so i jus yanked the porepack out...
At first, i felt a raw sensation on the side of my nose.. i tot i scratched it..but it wasnt till i bathed that i felt it..
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
i actually pulled off a piece of my skin on the nose from the pore pack... gosh... it's not very big.. i mean, i have a big nose, but still, the nose is a small part of the body....gosh.. n now there's a lil red line on my nose. i knew then that my colleagues would be making fun of me..
and i was right.
here's a pic of it.

A Story
there's the guy who decides to send his ex girlfriend (thereafter known as the "gal") a piece of cheesecake on the 1st anniversary of their breakup.
he realises it's a weird gesture. it's not as if such anniversaries are a celebrations of sorts. but he thought that since 1 yr ago, it was a shitty day for him, he thought he'd make the day, one year later, a better one for her.
then he realises that the actual day is a saturday. so he decides to send it on friday. so on thursday, he goes to a place he knows that sells good muffins and cheesecakes. Kept it in the office fridge and couriered it the next day (friday).
the courier dude was supposed to come at 9am. but he didnt come to the guy's office till 10. the guys becomes afraid that the cake wont reach the gal in time for tea time at 1030am.
After a hectic day of meetings, it's 4pm n he wonders if the courier screwed up when the gal didnt call. he decides that he had no mood to work then left for home.
she calls him. the gal calls him and thanks him for one of the best cheesecakes. he feels happy.
later in the night, she smses him " wana do dinner tmr(saturday)?
he thinks " that's pretty weird. we have not gone out on a weekend for a year. sure, we have met up for lunch almost once a mth.. but never on a weekend. n there she asks me out on our one year breakup anniversary"
he agrees anyhow. (were u expecting otherwise?)
and so they go to this place called Little Bali near Gilman heights.. it's supposedly a quaint little chill out place with "not-bad" food.
as fate would turn out, the drinks were cheap but the food was expensive and extremely sucky. small portions and sucky food. utterly the worst combi, especially for the food aficionados...
but they had a good time talking.. good time chatting and catching up. it was like they havent met for a year and it was a big catch-up session. No longer were they constrained by the lunch-hour.
they ordered a cheesecake for desert.. lousy...they then decide to head off the holland v in search for some food to satisfy them...
they settled on gelare n continued on the catching up.
they parted that nite with the promise that they shld do it more often.

Aunty Attack
And so my mum sees my air refreshener.. she likes it and wants to get it for the rest of the house including for my sister's room.
I told her my fren, Keeve, says taka sells it for S$19, instead of the S$28 i got it for... (which made me sian 1/2). She tells me to buy 2.. one for the living rm and one for my sis...
"Fine", i thought.
"And 2 more for my fren," she continued.
I was like WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERT?? she expects me to carry 4 of those all the way from taka. imagine the stares i'll get. they must think my house stinks...

Why TT Durai Should been given a COE for President?
Haha.. read this on the SPUG forums.... damn funny..
Top 10 reasons why TT Durai should get a Certificate of Eligibility to run for President??
10. Unlike Nathan, he doesn't have diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and ischaemic heart disease
9. Unlike Nair, he doesn't have a known drinking problem.
8. He already knows the judges and ministers.
7. He is familiar with handling millions of dollars that do not belong to him.
6. He is used to being chauffeured around and flying first class.
5. A gold-plated tap won't look out of place in the Istana bathroom.
4. At least when you give to the President's Star Charity, you know it will go to the president.
3. He may be able to make the National Day Parade a profit-generating event.
2. There are guards outside the Istana to stop the walls from being vandalised.
and the number 1 reason why TT Durai should be President is......
1. He needs a job.

Other Resorts...
I probably went to ALL the 5-star hotels in Bali in the Kuta, Semianyak, Jimbaran and Nusa Dua region.. here're some pics to drool over..
these last 2 pics are in the same resort taken from different angles.. there's an outdoor bed beside the pool.. how cool right???

Joke?
And so, when i got the chocs, i made this joke with my colleagues..
" Most of the time, sins get delivered away from you, not delivered to you"
No one got it... am i above them all or was it a really lame joke?

SINS!
And so my bday came and went without much event... Audrey sent me some chocs from SINS
they came late. frankly, i was a lil disappointed that she forgot.. but everyone's busy and all.. so it's fine. so she suddenly remembers my bday and hurriedly bought the chocs and sent it via courier..
the courier came with the chocs.. and hands me S$12. i was like wow.. who is this? send me chocs n gimme S$12 in crumpled notes...weird.. turns out to be Audrey.
I call her and thank her n asked abt the 12 bucks. she said she didnt wana charge the courier through the company for a personal thingy so she gave him the S$12. AND THE DUMBASS GAVE IT TO ME!!!
well, he came by the next day to get it back... i was snide abt it with him.. hahaha..

New Air Refreshener
In a continuing effort to make my room comfy, i bought an air refreshener.. this fishbowl-like things with a pseudo leaf-shaped plastic tat wana make u think it's like a plant spewing out rose-scented air..
this is going to sound really geeky but this thingy gives a true-life lesson on particle mechanics...
Force = Mass x Acceleration
why? cos when i put lotsa water inside the bowl, the whole thing will shake a lot till my entire shelf shakes.. conversely, when there's less water, the shelf doesnt shake.. so there u go, you're right again, Einstein...
Intercontinental Bali
Failing to get a room in Ritz-Carlton Bali, we booked Intercontinental Bali. i was quite disappointed that the stoopig ritz-carlton was fully occupied. i mean.. it's RC lor.. how come it's full when the cheaper ones are not full???
but well, we got a Club Room at the Interconti.. not bad..
here're some pics of the room...
Bvlgari toiletries leh.. naturally, i took them all home.. muhahahhaha im a cheapo neh neh

he tried to explain that there're many kinds of special requests for planes but i didnt care...
NO SPECIAL REQUESTS FOR PLANES IM ON. PERIOD.

As some would know, i don't drink liquor at all.. not beer.. not red wine.. not white wine.. not nothing...
i prob took my first (and last) sip of beer when i was 5 when i saw my dad's cold glass of beer on the table.. i was thirsty and curious (more of the latter) and took a sip. my love affair for liquor never took out.. muhahahha... so far i've tried bourbon, red wine, white white, e33 (yes, laugh), vodka, martini.. bleah.. nothing interests me
so i read on the SPUG forum that Bailey's Irish Cream is so good so good can..
so on the plane to the maldives.. i jus ordered lor...since free mah...
i was pretty excited when it came.. it smells nice.. nice milky fragrance.. i love milk.. first sip.. wow... "i think we have a winner here, niggers". nice and thick.. mmmmmmmm i can get used to this.. then the alcoholic aftertaste kicked in.. and i was like.. "bleah". how can anyone like this..
i didnt finish the cup

The Scientist
listening to this song now..
it's sucha sad song...
it's bad to be listening to this at 3am on a sunday morning
THE SCIENTIST
Coldplay
Come up to meet you, Tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions
Let’s go back to the start
Runnin’ in circles, Comet tails
Heads on the science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Take me back to the start
I was just guessin’
At numbers and figures, Pullin’ the puzzles apart
Questions of science, Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back to haunt me,
Oh when I rush to the start
Runnin’ in circles, Chasin’ our tails
Comin’ back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m goin’ back to the start
