American Idol Season 5 Finale

American Idol Season 5 has come to an end.
I watched the finale only at the second half of the 2 hours finale show. What i managed catch showed all the 16 finalis singing.... Pretty good. To tell you the truth, this is the best season yet. Coz the contestants can really sing......

I still like Elliot the best - I guess being 3rd isn't that bad.

Taylor won... and when he sang his debut single.. it was actually quite good!!!!!!!!!!

Of Shoes and More Shoes

As most of my readers know, I love shoes. I LOVEEEEEEE shoes.
But, I love shoes that has quality. U know what i mean. Vincci stuff once a while.. or hardly ever coz you know why, it gives me blisters.. and not very comfy.

What are the important criterias you look for when you are looking to buy a pair of shoes?
For me, the style or the first love strikes me first. The color the fashion. Then the ultimate test!!! the comfort. Would u actually buy a pair of shoes that looks absolutely gorgeous but absolutely uncomfortable? Well, the bottom line is would you suffer for fashion?

NONONO, is my answer to you. Imagine your feet have to support you, the whole whatever KGS man...... wearing uncomfortable shoes will kill you. Hence i don't wear those tiny skinny heels short of sandles or shoes. i like chunky heels or those wedges. But you have understand tho' buying those wedges u have to make sure you choose one that doesn't look ah lian or el cheapo. Not easy to shop for shoes ah.

There are alot of el cheapo shoe shops around. If they are comfortable , I don't mind. Firstly they are overpriced and not even leather. Sorry I just love the smeall of leather... i can't help it. hmmmm hmmmm.

I dont' know why they can't have good leather and affordable priced shoes here??? We have cows , we have buffalos!!!!! Why the americanos can sell the shoes like 39-60 USD - and they are leather!!!!!!! But if you look bonia , sembonia, carlo rino... fashion like shit!!! They need to change their designer man.... and cost a bom too. Can't comprehend it man.

My favourite shoe brands....
1) Nine west - ( absolutely affordable in the US, bought tons when i was studying there. now... cannot afford lah... RM300-500 leh)
2) URS - ( still ok, very comfy.... comfy like hell) but its cheaper in sg and more variety. When i go to SG must shop shop shop
3) Aldo!!!!! - ( cheaper in the US also, I only own one working pair of shoes :( too expensive here too) I just go to the shop and get my whif of leather.. hehehehehe....
4) Charles and Keith - Only available in SG. Not leather stuff lah. I think at par with vincci but their style and comfort is much much better than vincci lah.

AIIIIII my shoe dilemma................
I have this craving lately to buy some good leather shoes.. very susah to find affortable priced one here..... *sob* *Sob*

Yahoooo Elliot Yamin .....

Okie dokie, Elliot Yamin is still in, not voted out yet.. yipeeee.
final 3.....
Taylor, Katherine and Elliot.
It was abit of shocker that Chris got voted out. I thot it would have been Katherine or Taylor.

Lets hope Elliot makes it to the final 2. Don't mess up now... Elliot.....
Getting more and more exciting.

Updates

Thank You to those who have prayed for me. I am pleased to tell you all that I am getting better. Eventho' the cough is still there at least I am better. Still having sleepless nites but its mostly due to the immense stress at work and shit si tow.

The good thing about being sick for 3 weeks now is that i lost 2kg. hahahaha..
But I will probably gained it all back pretty soon.

Seriously ILL

Since my last post, my health has deteriorated.
I spend 2 nites without sleep and being showered in cold sweat. I seriously thot i was gonna die.

The cold sweat just came on prefusely without stopping and I was feeling so cold. Is this what it feels like when you're nearing death?

I went back to see the dr and he said its probably my weak body not being able to work with the medication he gave so that reaction is my body rejecting. And worse thing is i started to lau sai this morning.

He gave me a new set of medication and told me to take 2 days rest.

Shoots.. there goes my birthday....
But at least I am alive.. and its horrible when you're really really sick... MC is not fun either.

3 visits to the DR within a week

As per my previous post, I have been taken ill. Being ill is not good.
Yesterday I left work early as in around lunch, I informed my boss that I could no longer take it and I need to go and see the dr.
I decided to pay a visit to dr which I have been going to since childhood days. He did his examination and told me that this being already more than 5 days, I really have to take care as it can lead to bronkitis(spelling is probably off) and eventually asthma.

Having bronkitis is not fun. U can't sleep at nite coz you will just coughing. THe worse is morning and nite as it gets chilly during those hours.

Aii... i guess as i get older my immune system is getting worse. It can longer fight the bad elements as well anymore. Not Looking forward to turning a year older in 3 days time. :(

Taken ILL

I have to say, stress at work has been mounting up esp when i have to do 2 job roles. 1 is current role - which was suppose to be transition but the receiving party hasn't identified anyone and its been 2 months now. Learning the new job.. is a real task. Not knowing the technology is one thing but having a boss who is so concern about the stats.. is almost killing

This is a Tech support job lah. obviously there will be instances where the issue will last more than 1 month.... this person insist on closing it within the stipulated period. Tough life if you ask me...

So have been taken ill. As you might as well know, I am abit phobia when i get cold esp after the incident few years ago. The incident where the cold/fllu turned out to be sinus infection and I was out for about 10 days of MC. ahahaha. Paranoid.....

So this has beenn about 1 week now.. getting abit worried. Please please don't let this be worse... *sob* *sob*

American Idol

I just love this season of American Idol (season 5?) They have so many good singers. And each week its so disheartening to see such good singers leave. 2 Weeks ago, Mandisa left. she is one good singer

But i totally love Elliot. I appauld him coz he is almost deaf in one ear but he still sings on tune and very good. But I am abit concern coz he has been bottom 3 for the last 3 week. I hope that this week, he won't be voted out.

But i have to say, after following so many Seasons of American idol.. this is the best seasons.. as in the competition is stiff man...........

Holly Smolly

Holly smolly.....
Guess what, on sat there was this article in the newspaper with a guy seating there with 70 pairs of sneakers!!!!! 70 Pairs of SHOESSSSSS?? and its a GUY... yeah you read correctly - Its a GUY.

I don't even have 70 pair of shoes and I am WOMAN!!!!!!
Goodness gracious me.

I don't even have more than 20 pairs of shoes.... and thats including sneakers and sandles and mules.. and every darn.. variety of what we categorize as SHOES.

and in the article he said he has even spent above RM1000 for a pair of SNEAKERS...

MAMA MIA CARAMBA.

I just Had to Blog about this

As usual, weekend is here, usually we would go for the 7.30am Mass on Sunday but due to the fact that tomorrow I will have to follow my dad to pay respect to my grandfather's tomb. yeah its Ching Beng again. And yea, I do hold the joss stick but no with the intention to pray but just as part of th custom to show my respect.

anyways, thats not I wanted to blog about.
The sermon by the priest yesterday really stuck to my head and my bro's too. To not make the story too long, allow me to just give you the gist of the whole thing. Its about reconciliation. As you know, catholic are encouraged to go for confession/reconciliation. The priest is scholarstic one. But obviously I dont' remmeber much of what was said EXCEPT this.

Part of the sermon he started to mention certain behaviour that are not good behavoirs. He started by saying that we all have the impression that a certain is lazy (well we all know which is that rite?) and we begin to follow suit their attitude and having the thinking " WHY DO MORE WHEN YOU CAN DO LESS? hhahahahaa... and went on saying we all think since we are getting the same pay why do more when you can do less. hahahahaa... my bro and myself started giggling... Isn't that true. We all have this in our heads!!! Well its not that best of attitude huh.... This warrants us to go for confession. :P.

hehehhee.. hahahaa.. can't help it man.. the priest read our minds.
Anyways, just in case you guys didn't know, last week, NST posted something on racial survey.. .how each race is deemed by mass majority of people hehehehe.... It was a good article and the most truthful one I have came across.

If you haven't read it... ping me...

Persistence Pays Off

I have to tell you this story.... It involves frustration, anger and also sheer persistence and a guidance from the higher power.

I have been trying to call our National Power Company for weeks. As we all, how the public service sucks. Call call call.. you get thru, if you're luck to the 1st level. From the first level, you try to explain your problem to them. But before you could even finish, you're being cut-off with a curt answer that its a billing issue. Heck... my name is printed wrongly on the bill. Fine they pass you to the so called billing dept. ring ring ring ring ring ring for up to 15 min. (yeah i know, my handphone bill is gonna cost me a bom. Yeah and you might ask why don't you use the office phone coz i am only given a grace amount of $10 a month for personal, once you exceed that you have to pay the co) So I did that for 2 weeks in a row - trying at different hours.

Yesterday!!! EUREKA!!!! I decided that I do it first thing in the morning, if I could - I would have called at 5am in the morning hehehee.. just to get thru.

I called at 9.30am.. and yeah yeah yeah when passed to the billing dept within 2 rings, the phone call was picked up. But they told me that my name appeared correctly in their records. No typo no spelling mistake. HOW CAN!!!?!?!!?! I told her. It happened starting beginning of Jan. Last year was a ok. Well, the standard answer is, why don't you come in and bring in all the bills... STUPID DOPE..... anyways.. at least my persistence paid off , at least i got to talk to a "voice" eventho' how idiotic that voice turned out to be.

Now I am bracing myself for another gruelling wait at the center.

p/s went to their website... they don't even have a complain/feedback section. That shows, what monopoly does - creates inefficiency to the MAX!

bleeeep

BLEEEPPPPP

What Color Should Your Eyes Be?

all in moderation

If you have seen the news lately, be it local dailies or those international dailies, you would notice what graced the headlines.

Almost depressing. I don't know what going to happen man. Its like are we becoming less tolerant? I don't know.

I just want to say everything in moderation is good.
Every religion teaches good.
If you remember its states, if the person slaps you on one cheek, then offer him the other cheek.
What happened to that good old teaching?

One Of My Favourite Things

I love this pair of shoes. Hardly worn it as its kinda high for me to wear to work. I bought it around year 2002 in singapore.

But as you can see, as I found out lately after I opened the box..(yeah i brought back the original shoe box from sg hehehe..), its falling apart. But for this picture, I place the shoes on a Voir box not the original box hehehe.

Here's some pictures. But you can't really see the buckle side which is falling apart too but i plan to salvage it by glueing it later on.. ai ai ai... very sim tiah leh.. i love this pair of shoes.

The Constant Gardener

I just finished watching The Constant Gardener.
Well, now i know why it won some awards :P
The show is pretty meaningful and dramatic. In a sense you get to the poverity and corruption of govt that causes the people to suffer. And outstandings individuals trying to make changes. The small voice that brings hope to people.

Its a movie worth watching.
It is true, that if you believe in the cause which you're fighting for, you have more determination to see it thru.

But one thing tho' I don't get the link btwn the title and the substance in the show.. hmmm..

It came and It sorta went....

CNY came and its almost gone... at least its into the 4th day already.

I haven't been exactly productive. Even my younger bro said... I could achieve much more, if i weren't that lazy hahahaha.

4 days of being couch potatoe. The truth is, I just didn't feel like doing anything. Well 1st day I helped my mom with alot of the chores in the kitchen as the first day all our relatives would come over. After the 1st is over, my mom would go to some relatives house. Well for me, I just sat home glued myself to the tv or the pc (watching movies).

Darn it... why does time has to pass so fast when you're not at work!? DARN IT DARN IT..

I took some photos of the CNY dishes we had.. but am too lazy at this mo' to put it up. hehehe. will do it later on today.

Fruitful day?

Yesterday, I went to visit the dentist to remove my suture... HAHAHA... yeah whats that word hor? That was my first reaction. Then I go look look in dictionary hor, it means stitches lah... dongoi !!!!

Anyways, while waiting outside, I was agonizing on the fact on how painful its gonna be coz doubt the dr will be giving me that shot to numb the area.

Name got called, went in sat down, - waited waited waited. Then dr came. Okie, any problems (mind you this dr, like to do things chop chop and don't like to talk much or answer much questions. I hate dr's like that). Anyways, I said, yeah.. first two days my nose had blood clogs. And then now and then the area where the sinus lift was done, gets numb and feels tingly. hahaha. Then he said.. okie, let me remove the stitches and then we will take an xray. Alrighty!!!!!

Before the went snip snip snip , he said.. its actually healing very well coz the stitches is loose. Which means its healing very well.. then goes SNIP SNIP SNIP... tug tug... hmmm.. alittle taste of blood...

Ok done! Rinse... go seat outside... wait to take xray then come back in.. we to thru the xray.

ALrighty.. xray taken, called in to talk to me. Then he said.. SPOT on.. very very good. Then the sua ku me.. had to ask lah.. DR i got one question, after the crowning is place....is there any periodic maintenance (typical IT term hor). Then he said.. after 6 mths the crowning is fitted then you need to come back and see after 1 year. If everything is ok.. then no need follow up. WOOHOOO... ok can relax until July before the agony of visiting the dentist is revisited kekeke.

After that session, I decided to go jalan2 lah. Release the tension rite!!! So I went to the mall close by. Bought 2 ultramannnn... tshirt for my nephew whos birthday was that day. Then found a pair of sweat pants ... for 50% off... had to try it in the dark coz that stupid dressing room didn't have any sort of light... Premitive leh!!!!

Anyways, got home, then mom was making Top hatS!!!!! Okay its also called pie tee... She was making the shell lah. We always do. Mom has been making it for ages. Usually i help her.
So changed my clothes and then stood by the fire for 3+ hours!!!!! BOY!!! was my kneee sore..
Wanted to take photos but my hands were darn oily lah. Dun wanna damage my camera...
I don't grow money on trees!!! hehehee

Very Fruitful Day huh!?!?!?!

DUP DUP BI DO!

Of Junk Food

Recently, KFC introduced the Fish burger to their menu. Isn't it abit weird to have a food outlet which was known becoz of their chicken and not anything else.!?!?

Anyways, I decided to try it.. ERRRR.. the verdict is that...... Its OKAYYYYY.... JUST A OK tho'
The dill dressing or whatever you call it was so diluted!!!!! But you sure can taste some sort like mustard like or is that the dill taste hahaha. I have no clue.

Ok next was to try the prosperity burger at Mc D. The chicken one of course. I had a long long time ago, i think it was couple of year ago. I forgot how peppery it is... I don't think I will eat again tho' and I shall remember how it taste now.. hehee

Over and out...
