American Beauty

Watched the latest episode of ANTM. SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Well anyway, the whole episode was just like a movie. It's because throughout the entire episode, Ebony interviews that she doesn't want to be in the competition anymore because modelling's not her thing and that she's homesick and stuff. Well, that's fine, right? I mean, I really like Ebony now, it's just that Tyra hates her because she has Naomi Campbell's hair. So the final two are Ebony and Ambreal. Ambreal sucks eggs so Tyra gave a picture to Ebony. Then there's like, a moment of awkward silence and Ebony reveals that she doesn't want to continue modelling and wants to leave. And Tyra was giving a sermon about how she hates quitters and how she KNOWS that it's not that Ebony doesn't like modelling, it's just that Ebony hates people telling her what to do! And I was so terrified she might scream at her, like, "What is wrong with you, STOP IT!!!! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE YELLED AT A GIRL LIKE THIS!!!!! WELL, MAYBE EXCEPT THE PART WHERE I WAS SCREAMING AT TIFFANY!!!!!" but she didn't thank goodness because I totally felt bad for Ebony. Sheesh! She tried modelling, doesn't really like it, so decides to give up her slot for somebody who really wants this badly. Nobody's perfect like you, Tyra!!!

Oh and the ending was like those movies with the home videos from the past. After they showed Ebony's pictures, they showed Ebony's audition video about how much she loves Tyra and tells her that she wants it badly. They seriously broke her.

Oh and Heather won a challenge and was doing a photoshoot with styled by Mary J. Blige and when Heather was hugging her, you could totally see that Mary was like, "Get this crazy bitch off me!!!" Poor Heather.

The Art Of Storytelling

This semester SUCKS!!! It's bull crap, and I can smell it from a mile away!

So anyway, my first CDS (it's like an extra subject) is Sociology. Ok right? Well, let me just rant and whine about the fact that it was my third choice!! My first was French and my second was Psychology! And I thought, wow! Maybe people who did better than me for their exams had already occupied all the spots for the first two choices, right? Well, wrong!! Apparently, other people who put French as their second choice and had a lower GPA score got the subject! I'm like, WHAT THE HAY-ELL!!! Seriously! It's so friggin unfair that I have to learn Sociology for the rest of the semester! Totally sucks! But quite a lot of people got Sociology. I totally hope it's not like Social Studies.

And yesterday, we had to pick another CDS subject for some reason. And there I was thinking, "Hey! Maybe this time, I'll get what I want!" And so first choice: French, second: Psychology, third: Japanese, and so on until sixth: Singapore Law. Yes, I know. It might be boring, but there weren't many choices. I would never want to pick The Art Of Storytelling! Haha! So that night, I was told that the subject selection results were already out and like a child on the morning of Christmas, I ran to the computer and switched it on, anticipating that I would get what I want. So a few minutes later, I checked my subject selection results and my heart dropped and shattered into a million pieces. Then a cat passed by a peed all over it.

I got Understanding Art. I picked Understanding Theatre as fifth choice, but I got Art instead. A lot of people got Art also. Ok, firstly, I didn't even pick that crummy subject, which indicates that I have no interest in Art whatsoever!!!! I bet the CDS people were like, "Hey! This guy doesn't seem to have Understanding Art in his choices! Let's put him in that subject and maybe he'll gain interest in it!" Urgh!! And to think that I'll be attending that stupid subject for the rest of the semester. Urgh!! They're gonna force us to go to museums! Yucks!

CDS is a chance for me to have fun learning new stuff that's interesting!!! I'm sorry, but when you're in my course, even I have to admit that the stuff I'm currently learning is totally boring! Like Cell Biology and Basic Microbiology and Human Physiology and Immunology and Maths! And now I have to learn Art! Great!

Urgh! I kind of wish there was a Film Appreciation CDS or something. I remember one time my brother had that kind of subject and he took home DVDs and would watch it as homework! Like, WTF!!! Now I have to bring like, The Last Supper home and try to superimpose Mary Magdalene's head on Jesus's shoulder and solve the Da Vinci Code or something!

And mind you, my GPA was quite well, 3.02. I don't see why they decided to give me a subject that I did not even choose!

BICYCLE! BICYCLE!

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike!

OMG remember that song? When I was young I thought it was the funniest song I've ever heard.

So speaking of which, I decided that if I really want to take up a motor license, I should master the poor man's version of it. So I pushed my bike all the way to the bike shop and there were so many mat basikals there, and they had puny scrawny bicycles that are all rusty and stuff and I have one big ass mountain bike, which my elder brother bought in Perth. All the mat basikals were like, "Wah! Lawarnya!" He doesn't need it anymore anyway, so I had to change the bloody rubber tubing and the tires. So after that I did a test ride and discovered that my brakes didn't work and nearly crashed into a pillar like Alexis Meade. So had to change the stupid brakes. I haven't rode a bike for over a year because my bike is breaking apart, seat's coming off and stuff.

So anyway! Urgh! I hate getting older! Some people don't give you any money! It's not as if I have a full time job anyway!

Today I went to the unknown lands of Sembawang. There were a lot of amputees there for some reason. Seriously!

OMG Sham's blog is causing a commotion! Her tagboard is like a warzone or something.

My new timetable sucks rotten eggs! There's this one day where I have like, 4 hours of lessons but they are in 2 hour intervals! So there's like, a 4 hour interval! Ok whatever.

I am in love with Ugly Betty! It's the second best show on TV right now, right after ANTM. It's so funny! There was this funny scene, because Amanda is Faye's daughter, so she's trying to grab some attention from the press. So at a red carpet event, she goes to Marc and suggests that she pee on the red carpet to get some attention, and Marc replied, "Oh honey, Courtney Love already did that before you arrived." Haha! OMG and SPOILER ALERT!!!!! Don't read further on if you don't wanna be spoiled!!!!! Posh Spice is going to become one of Wilhelmina's bridesmaids! That's so cool!

Eid

Wow! It's been a week! That's so crazy!

Ok before I start, the Gimme More video was shown on MTV and honestly, Britney? Is that the best you can do? I mean, looking back at her career, she really didn't have a great voice, did she? All she was good at was dancing and now it's gone. Seriously! The video was so weird and disturbing because at the beginning there were three women (one was Britney) and she was wearing a blonde wig and all three were watching stripper Britney in a black wig doing a strip act. Then I realised that it's supposed to be some lesbian stripclub or something. I bet it was all her idea!

I bet she was all like, "Hey, like, guys! I have an, like, idea! Why don't you guys bring your cameras to my workplace and let's just do a home video! Okays?!"

And so they did and they filmed her doing her day job and earning money at the same time. Throw in some visual effects that people use in those amateur video editing software and presto! A music video!

So Hari Raya wasn't so bad actually. Followed my parents everywhere they went, because we are living in a material world, and I am a material boy. Ok I just wanted to save some money for a rainy day, which will obviously never happen because I am just a bloody teenager.

So anyway, during the visits, I totally discovered some crazy stuff about me! Yes!

My parents never told me that my great-grandmother aka my dad's dad's mum is Chinese. I think she's Hokkien or something. Well, my aunt told me that. That's so weird. Then again, I didn't know my grandfather because I think he divorced with my grandmother and died before I was born.

Oh and my grandaunt said that my grandmother would've had 8 children, but 4 of them passed away when they were very young, ranging from 1 day to 7 years old. Wow! That's totally sad. Totally felt bad for my grandma.

Then my mother just happened to have a megaphone and decided to announce something really important. When she was pregnant with me, the gynae told her that it's a girl, so both my parents were excited because they already had two boys and they're already sick of penises. So when I was born, here's what roughly happened:

Note: I don't know the name of my gynae, so let's just call him McDreamy.

McDreamy: Oh! Push harder!
Me: Waah! Waah! Waah!
McDreamy: Awww! Look, Meredith! She looks so adorable! Hey, Meredith, so sorry I hooked up with you on the day before we realised that we were gonna be working together.
That fat black woman: Hey, you incompetent boob! Get back to work! You can make out with her during your lunch break!
Me: Waah!
McDreamy: Oh! It's a boy! So sorry about that! Doctors do make mistakes! Just ask Meredith!
My dear mother: DAMMIT!

Thanks for the inspirational story, mum! Maybe she should send the story to the Chicken Soup For The Pregnant Mother's Soul. And the whole time, my mother was saying this like as if it's an anecdote she tells everybody, including the nonya yang jual sayur kat pasar. I smiled nervously. But I'd bet that my parents grew fond of me as time went by, right? Right? Right?

Ok, I'm off! I'm so swamped.

Placebo

Wow! It's been a long time! So I can't wait for Saturday to be over and done with. Urgh!

Bleargh! Ok whatever. Let's see what's happening!

Well, I went on a really weird SBS bus. The seats were arranged like the MRT seats where the seats face the sides. Then there was this fake bar counter and an actual stool! And there's a picture of a woman in an F&N uniform pouring a glass of orange juice. Ok what am I talking about?

My eldest brother has gangrene. Ok I'm exaggerating. He just has some fungal infection from wearing boots in the rain and not taking it off and stuff. He doesn't even get MC! The only privilege he gets is that he gets to wear sandals. And he's limping. Wow! They really do take care of you! Can't wait!!! Athlete's feet, here I come! Anyway, I had to serve him and get his important stuff for him from the bedroom (i.e. handphone, cigarettes, ashtray, etc.). Then he said "Thank you" and I'm like, "Finally!". It's like serving that Frida woman.

I'm not eating anything for sahur.

My baju kurung is too big for me and it's only sized S. Another reason why this year's Hari Raya is gonna suck.

All the M&M cookies that were made today are now destroyed! They now look like a teenager's face at the climax of puberty.

Nearly ate a sultana. I'm like, "WHAT THE HAY-ELL!"

The shop near my house is now under new management. No more bimbo shopkeepers who try to manipulate you into paying an extra 10 cents for a plastic bag, claiming it's the law now. Yes, that stupid bitch did that to me, saying something about Live Earth. But the new shop sucks eggs. They calculate the total amount by using calculators and all their foods are either in Chinese or Thai. WTH?! No Malay?! Their Skittles are in Chinese characters and I was worried that I might get, I dunno, hepatitis through the foods. I've heard of such cases. And the creamers are all in Thai so I don't even know if they're evaporated milk or condensed milk or whatever. Urgh!

I am currently addicted to F&N Green Apple. It's a limited edition flavour. They should replace the Zappel with that Green Apple. It's so bloody delicious. Ok what am I talking about?

Currently listening to:
Teardrops On My Guitar - Taylor Swift
Good Life - Kanye West ft. T-Pain
Nothin' Better To Do - LeAnn Rimes
Taking Chances - Celine Dion

One Week

Wow! Hari Raya in a week! That's kind of crazy.

Stupid high metabolism! I only spent the whole of Friday afternoon baking cookies and I was already exhausted. I mean, exhausted in a "didn't-sleep-all-night" kind of way.

OMG have you seen Britney Spears' new official Gimme More video?! It's so pathetic! All she does in the video is dance around a pole and dropping it like it's not hot. It's kind of hard to find on YouTube because of copyright crap.

Taped ANTM 8. Watched the last part of Tab TV. It was about exorcism I think and the first scene I saw was this woman in bed and the "healer" telling her that he has to implant his amulet (aka magical semen) inside her to drive the spirit away. Eww!! And then the stupid woman was oblivious that she just got raped. So that night she had nightmares and her husband asked her what was wrong, and the woman told him everything, and the husband just said, "Jasmine," in a disappointed tone. WTH?! No "YOU HAD SEX????!!!!!!"?

Can't believe Felicia's gone!! I really actually wanted Dionne to go. But I loved her "WHAT THE HAYELL?!!" quote during the laser challenge.

Oh and watched the latest season of ANTM. That Bianca woman was being a bitch once again. Seriously, if you wanna be a bitch, be a bitch and have some modelling talent! Like Jade. Urgh! And all Bianca did was make arguments with the other girls. Urgh! And she's like, "Heather's good, but I have to stop her before she gets there [laughs nervously]". I hate that bitch. At least other bitches from other cycles were entertaining, like Camille or Jade or Monique. Sigh.

And I have to say ANTM is getting better and better!! Well, the girls had to do a couture runway for a budding fashion designer and the winner will be going to Paris to do runway for her. Then for the photoshoot, they had to wear couture gowns while rock climbing! Yay!

Jenah. She's the one who reminded me of The Fairly Oddparents, then I realised she looks like that boy in pink. Loved her photo!

Heather. The mildly autistic girl. Love her photo! Glad that the other girls are not bitching about her.

Hate That I Love You - Rihanna ft. Ne-Yo



Hari Raya's gonna suck! Both my baju kurungs suck ass for some reason. Ugh!

Now You Know

Watched season premiere of Despo Housewives! Yay! And seriously, I was a bit pissed off from the cliffhanger from the Season 3 finale.

Yay! ANTM tomorrow!

Sick last night. Ok now. Keep on waking up at around noon. Stone for about an hour. I didn't realise that I was watching Hi-5. Then watched Oprah. Vanessa Williams (aka Wilhelmina from Ugly Betty) was on with her mother, if that's her real name. Seriously, her mother looks like her sister! I wiki-ed her and found out that she's only 44. Really? She kind of looks 50 because she looks heavily botoxed. And her mother looks like she's about 55.

Next Sunday!

Spontaniouse

Ugh! Was sick during the weekend.

Finally watched The Office. It was so funny!!! Well, Michael's ex-boss died in a car accident so they all had a grief counselling session. Michael asked everyone to name somebody they know who died and how they died. So I'll just give the dialogue.

Dwight: When my mother was pregnant with me, she did an ultrasound scan and found that she was pregnant with twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, the found out that I had resorbed the other fetus. Do I regret that? No. I believe his tissues have made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.

Pam: I had an aunt. She was this amazing female boxer. She was injured in a fight and was paralysed. So I was devastated when I found out that she had asked her coach to remove her breathing tube so she could die.

Ryan: A few years ago, my family was in a safari in Africa. And my cousin, Mufasa, was trampled to death in a stampede.
Michael: Do you wanna talk about it?
Ryan: Nah, it would probably take an hour and a half for me to talk about that.

Hahaha! Mufasa!

First episode of Heroes 2 was boring for some reason. Was Heroes boring in the first place?

OMG watched the season premiere of Ugly Betty! All I can say is "WOW!" OMG so many plotlines! What I like about the show is that you kind of like everybody, including the villains like Wilhelmina and Amanda.
