Whenever I can

I watched American Idol tonight, it was the boys’ turn again. Ten of them performed, I only managed to catch six as I returned home from work late because of Knowledge Sharing (a mid-weekly thing that The Company has every last hour of the working day.) But! I thought, out of the six, David Archuleta was the best. He performed brilliantly, and I think his vocals were amazing!

Loved it, absolutely loved it. He came to my attention only during Hollywood week, because I missed the San Diego auditions where he sang John Mayer’s Waiting On The World To Change. If you missed it too, here’s a video from Hollywood week, with a clip from his first audition.

I didn’t watch Jason Castro perform this week (and I can’t be bothered to watch the re-run), but judging by the recap, I didn’t think he did as good as he did last week.

On to another topic: tomorrow’s my last day at The Company, and I start at the new place on Saturday. People are wondering why I’m not taking a break. I personally think that if I take this Saturday off, and have a long weekend, I’ll be extra nervous about starting new. It’s unbelievable, though. The things that I need to be mentally prepared for.

I think physically, I’m fine, because I wasn’t unemployed for long months and early mornings are like nothing, so.. I think I’m going to be all right.

Can you just hear me pepping myself up? LOL.

Speaking of work, The Company had an event called Movie Outing Weekend (or other) on last Sunday afternoon, and we watched Vantage Point at The Empire cinema. I brought my sister along as my plus one, and it was great. I had a great time. The day before, on a Saturday night (Brunei’s 24th National Day), my family and I watched Jumper, also at The Empire cinema. There were a total of 30 — initially 26 — of us. When we called the cinema up to book for tickets, he asked in a disbelieving yet serious tone, roughly translated from Malay to English, “Are you serious? Are you serious to book 20 tickets?”

And I said, in an equally serious tone, “Yes. Adults. And six children.” And he just had to ask again. And again. And he didn’t stop until I promised him that I will be there to collect the tickets in 15 to 30 minutes. LOL. I still find it funny until today.

“Banar kah ni kan booking 20 tickets? Banar kah?”

ROFL. FUN-NEE.

Both movies were great, I loved Jumper, and I don’t know why people felt it was incomplete. I think it was the lack of information of how Jumpers came about, and Paladins. And the sort. I loved it, nonetheless. I give Jumper 4 out of 5 stars, Vantage point 3.5 out of 5 stars. (Ooh. So I rate movies. So sue me. LOL.)

I’m going to head to bed and get some rest. I happen to be having a tiring week, what with the boyfriend being away. Funny. He was always away, but seeing that he’s in another country, he’s just.. farther away? *shrugs*

What I do know, is that I miss him loads.

I think I need to see more David Archuleta videos. His singing cheers me up.
