Hello me darlings,
I just came back from my late night run. Yes i finally got off my butt and went to the park behind my house for a run. 3 rounds around the park aint that bad me thinks altho i did brisk walk most of the way since my stamina aint there yet LOL It was refreshing nevertheless since i was feeling restless beforehand. The restlessness has somewhat become a routine during boring eventless weekends =P The weather was perfect since it was raining heavily in the late afternoon/evening and the air was still cool and the stars were out with no clouds in sight. It was quite lovely tho i wish there was someone there with me to point out the different constellations in the sky. The only one i know is the Orion, since its the most prominent lol
The past week has been dreary except for the random heavy rain <3, Hugh Jackman's hosting at the Oscars, American Idol group 2 performance and the hilarious programme which is Pesta Perdana 10 on Suria.
Anddd before i forget, during the course of the week two law ex-coursemates of mine got MARRIED!!!! say what!? So young and married. Why the rush? But whatever makes them happy aye? My best wishes to them (^-^)b
Speaking of which did I mention that i received a letter from the government to join their 'matchmaking' services, what do they call it.. the SDU? ROFL
I know they want singles to hook up, get married and have babies to boost the country's birthrate. The irony of it all? I cannot have children unless i want to risk my life in doing so wahahahhahahaha
Oh and other than that i had a job interview which i still have no idea of its outcome tho i'm not really worried if i don't get the job because my heart is uneasy and my gut tells me that i would be taking a step back should i get it. Ah well. I'll leave it up to the powers that be :)
oh yes American Idol group 2. Lovelovelove Allison Iraheta. When i heard she was going to sing 'Alone' by Heart, I thought omg she was going to mess it up like previous contestants who had sang that song. The only singer that I've heard sing it who had done the song justice was Carrie Underwood. But surprisesurpirse, that Allison girl can sing. She made me sit up and gave me slight goosebumps even tho she went slightly off tune at certain parts i think mostly due to nerves. Altho i can't really remember her personality, she is definitely one of the few to watch in the competition. The other two, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert who got in, well no surprises there, i expected them to go through after watching the group perform but I'm still not sure of them yet. Adam's performance of 'Satisfaction' was only okay for me, a bit pitchy so we'll see what he does in the Top 12 and honestly i can't remember Kris Allen's performance that much lol. I do hope that for the wild card round they bring back Nick Mitchell (Norman Gentle LOL) and Megan Corkrey back. Norman Gentle performance was just awesome. The most entertaining idol contestant ever.
Pesta Perdana 10. Against my better judgement I actually watched it because I had nothing better to do since i was waiting for Survivor to start on Channel 5 and my sister wanted to watch it. Well 3/4 of the shows and artists that were nominated, except for the veterans, lets just say I have no freaking clue what or who they are since I don't watch Suria. The only time i watch Suria is when someone in the family happens to change the channel and we spot something hilarious. Which brings me to Pesta Perdana 10. It was the most hilarious award show that I've ever watched only because of how bad it was. The dead air time, the lapse in organization, cues and awkwardness on stage. Since it's in its 10th year running, I would have expected that the show will be a lot better and smoother.
The hosting was Bad, coming from Aaron Aziz i'm not surprised. Aaron please leave the hosting to people who can actually host. And at this day and age, can't Suria afford a tele-prompter? Its awkward to see presenters/hosts holding cards and reading from them of which half of the time their eyes are on the cards. This does not only apply to Pesta Perdana but almost all Suria 'Live' studio shows. Or they can always do it like what MTV TRL used to do, hold huge cue cards near the camera so the host can read off it and still look at the camera. LOL
Pesta Perdana 9 won an award during the show, not sure how well it was last year since I didnt watch it but if Pesta Perdana 10 wins it next year, i swear the awards are rigged lol.
ah well enough rambling, my dose of current US TV shows are on hold since most of them are on a 3 week break. ZOMG. I have no idea why it is that long but oh well I can always catch up on my manga/animes which I have not been keeping up to date on. LOL
On a side note, i miss my friends. Everyone is busy and some are not even in SG. For those who are, let's meet up soon okay. Oh and i'm looking at photos my sister just posted up (she went to JB with her friends), it's making me crave for seafood!!!! Chilli crab, butter prawns, calamari... ahhhhh my mouth is watering just thinking of it. I'm still waiting for the JB seafood eating trip to actually materailze!!!! hmmm speaking of which i need to renew my passport LOL
oh and ARASHI's 2009/2010 calander is OUTT!! YAY! I have yet to collect mine at Kino but i am patient. I can always look at photos posted up by over zealous fans on LJ comms haha
all this random talk has made me hungry. Gonna go make me some instant noodles now.
Have a good week folks!
