just watched world idol on star world...
totally awestruck by how wonderful some of these pple sound...
esp the norwegian, british, belgian and the canadian...
simply fantastic...
not many would actually agree with me...
but i just love such programmes...
where the plain, ordinary folk get a shot at stardom...
esp like kurt nielsen...
yes...
he looks like a hobbit with a gap in his teeth...
but boy...
he sounds terribly good...
catch part 2 tmr...
at 9pm...
on Starworld (starhub chn18)...
you wont be sorry...
even if u dont like the singing...
the illogically, entertaining 'simon-cowell-of-poland' shoots their egos down pretty well i guess...


chu san was quite uneventful actually...
din go mr tan house with the rest...
coz accompanied my mom to her colleague's home in admiralty for lunch....
had really good nasi lemak and curry...
and one angpao...
pathetic for 1 day...
but i guess its the spirit of the festivities that matter...
not the number of red packets...
but the money in it actually...
=P

dad's friends that we usually visit were out...
aunt was working...
so we actually had no where to go...
afternoon was spent in the car...
when parents practically went ard sg to look for our missing grandma...
coz she seemed pretty down these couple of days...
then went east coast food centre for lotsa food...
i had prawn mee...chicken wings...rojak...coconut...
man!
and uncle told me i was getting fat the day before...
but you know what...
i really dont care!
=)


dunnoe why...
but have been having that feeling of insecurity the last few days...
even though its CNY and all...
cant help but feel expectant of a phone call...
not the one from the loanshark company telling me i got the job or otherwise...
i dunnoe...
but felt the dire need to talk to someone...
even though i kinda dislike chatting on the phone...
was surprised that ben leng called at 2am on new year's day...
was happy to hear his voice after so long actually...
actually...
i think i miss those friends whom i used to spend hours chatting on the phone with...
in primary school especially...
tammie...jane...maria...
in secondary sch...
serene...bernie...wf...ben...judah...
i guess as ur life starts to speed up...
and u have less time for your friends...
they slowly drift away from you...
then when everything comes to a stop...
like after the a levels for me...
it all tends to feel a little empty...
and i start wondering how do pple like ben k. manages to work...
meet up with his friends at like 1130 at nite...
and still survive the next day...


did i mention how i alwaz marvelled at the wonder of conversations...
and held in admiration pple who were particularly articulate and fluent in their mastery of the language?
spoke with ben k. twice so far...
amazingly short conversations coz i was usually space-filler while he waits for his friends to arrive..
one of those articulate idiots who alwaz seem to make conversation seem a breeze...
he reminds me of judah alot...
with that slangish accent which u cant really tell whether it was american/australian/british...
coz i cant differentiate anyway...
wf's bro is quite powerful with the language too...
though i thought he did a better job with it written rather than spoken...
i wonder where i lie...
am thoroughly aware of the fact that i dont speak really well...
am better written than spoken...
but i think i had better turn that ard...
before i tell the next interviewer that i dunnoe why i applied for the job...
damn!
