What’s been happening?

Filed Under: Life, Personal, Television
Apr.22, 2009

I think the number of readers following this blog has dwindled. Actually, I kind of know. My statistics told me, and the crickets are chirping way too loudly for my liking. (I’m being lame, I know.)

Anyway. Did anyone catch American Idol’s second week of their top seven? Let me just get this out of the way: Kris Allen’s performance was AMAZING! I fell in love with his acoustic rendition of Donna Summer’s She Works Hard For The Money, and I loved it more than Adam Lambert’s performance this week!

I have a sneaking feeling that the bottom three this week will be the same as last week.

Sebenarnya, atu pulang saja kan ku update, but since I’m here.. Why not further enlighten my readers on what’s been happening lately, right?

Where should I start? Let’s start with my campaign to practice a healthier lifestyle. I’ve enrolled myself in a program, one that Shasha had mentioned in one of her posts, and it’s been really, really great for me. I feel so good that I’ve finally broken myself from that rule that I’ll never exercise outdoors.

I now visit Tasek Lama every so often, and it was surprising that I haven’t been bitten by any mosquitoes or bugs. I have had the misfortune of being ‘attacked’ by a magpie, though. The first time I was attacked, I was walking on my own. This was right after watching the culprit flew by the head of a man who was walking twenty steps ahead of me, with a loud snapping sound, which I suspect the sound of its beak. The second time it happened, someone was walking with me and confirmed that it was a magpie.

I was so sure I didn’t have any shiny objects with me, except for my key’s strap, which is a rhinestone-encrusted letter ‘N’. Even so, I had it covered firmly with my hand. Last Tuesday, however, I don’t know how I could have missed this, but I realized I had my ring on! So, I took it off, walked past the place where the magpie always attacked. And et voila, no more attacks! And with this, I am very glad, as I can walk in peace.

Also in the program, is how to eat healthily. Let’s just say.. I’m not on a diet. I’m just eating healthily. It’s proven to be really good as I lost a considerable amount of weight and kept it off. The latter of which has always been a tough job for me.

So, with this program, I am adjusting to this (healthier) lifestyle, and thus still can’t find time to go out with my friends! Grr. I need to come up with a slot, or I’ll go crazy. I miss my friends!!

American Idol’s Top 13

Mar.11, 2009

Why did Anoop sing that song?! He could have done something like You Are Not Alone. I’m sure there are loads of Michael Jackson songs that can showcase his voice much, much better. I’ve caught the show a bit late, when Jasmine Murray was performing.

Anoop Desai aside, my favourite performance had to be Adam Lambert’s!! Whatever it is that people are talking about, whether true or false, his performances are always solid, and tonight was no different. Although he sounded a bit like Michael Jackson in the beginning of the song. Loved it! My mom loved it too. Hahaha. I could hear her downstairs, cheering him on. :heart:

After Adam, the last two performances didn’t stand a chance. Matt Giraud’s performance was great, but, like Simon said, “After Adam..”

Aku suka rambut si Alexis Grace bah sebenarnya. I wish I could wear mine that short.

Anyway. I’m going to watch the encore show, see if anyone can top Adam. :)

Did you see Adam Lambert’s Top 36 performance on American Idol yesterday? Drool!

Adam Lambert

Such a pretty, emo(like) boy.

No one interesting in next week’s 12 contestants, except maybe for Nate. Would like to see how he fares. For now: Hello, Adam Lambert.

By the way, Anoop Desai for wildcard!! :D

I missed it

Can’t believe I missed tonight’s episode of American Idol.

I’m a very big fan of Danny Gokey and his best friend, Jamar Rogers (who unfortunately did not make it to Top 36). And also, Anoop Desai.

So when I heard rave reviews from the boyfriend, who rarely gives a good review, I was so jealous. I MISSED IT!

Definitely going to search for that episode online. :P

I am now depending on YouTube to listen to their performances.

I’m confused with the format because my family and I had to go somewhere, and was in a hurry, and I have yet to find someone who’s not annoyed of Tatiana Del Toro.

Via I Can Has Cheezburger.

Awwww.

So sweet.

Macam boyfriendku. Heehee.

Anyhow. I’ve been posting other things on my blog these days. It’s either I have been too lazy to blog about my usual nonsense, or I’m too busy watching DVDs in my room. Aiseh. I can finally be one of the priviledged people who have a TV in their rooms. This sounds sad, but let me let you know, that all my life, I wasn’t allowed to have a TV of any sort in my room. It’s OK for me to have a laptop that plays DVDs and surf the Internet, but not a television.

My mom always thought that if I always had a TV in my room, I wouldn’t go down for meals. Seriously, though, with my mom’s ability to get you downstairs no matter what, it wouldn’t have been a problem. I guess she just insists that we stick to the plan. Until recently.

It’s great. I used to turn on the radio when the room gets really quiet. Now, I just either put Astro on or pop in a Project Runway DVD. And now, all I need is a good sofa to watch my TV. Izzah thinks I need a Wii, but that will have to come some other time. I need my sofa!

What I’m also loving about the new TV is that I get to watch movies and Will & Grace with the boyfriend. Who says you can’t rock a long-distance relationship? LOL.

Anyway, I’ve been having Italian for sungkai three times alone this week. I had a folded pizza at Fratini’s on Wednesday with Mumtaz and boyfriend, Zainul, who had treated me to a good meal and a great laugh. Then I went to Capers on Friday with my CIS20 friends. Just yesterday, I went to Villa Mauri with Izzah. I think, by far, Villa Mauri served the best food and had the best servers. It was my first time there, and I am very, very impressed.

I just wasn’t pleased with the loud lady girl (she does not merit the word lady) on the next table. She doesn’t even get the hint we had given her. Maybe Izzah and I weren’t loud enough. We gather that they were a table of bloggers. She was that loud, OK? We couldn’t help but overhear. Nyeh.

I’m going to go back to my dose of Project Runway now. More updates soon.

American Idol: I’m disappointed with David Cook this week. Performance-wise, Simon Cowell was right, it was a knockout, and David Archuleta emerged as champion. If we were solely looking at this week’s performances, David A. would win. But overall, I love Cook more. I’m OK with an Archuleta win as he deserves it as much as David C. does, but I’ll be ecstatic if the latter wins.

We shall see in the results show tomorrow. :)

Mazda: Anyway. These pictures are for the curious :)

The dent, the chipped paint..

.. and the cracks.

The bumper is fixed now, heated and molded back to its original shape, spray-painted to cover up the chipped paint spots, and alhamdulillah, it only costs B$80. Big thanks to my uncle for bringing it to the workshop. The cracks on the taillight is yet to be fixed, but if you didn’t know, you won’t notice that they’re there. So I’m happy. Maybe my bonus in December will see me with a new left taillight.

It doesn’t look so bad in the pictures, does it? Faz has looked at the damages when the car was parked at The Mall on a Saturday night, and she had a reaction. LOL. I guess it’s just hard to handle the fact that it’s new.

Me: I have another picture, and it’s a candid. See more candids here, taken during the BBQ last Sunday. You can also see my name (among others) on a birthday cake! Thanks, guys! :D View Full Article »

Priceless.

What I love about the Internet: I can find out who is eliminated off American Idol six hours earlier than usual. I KNOW WHO’S OUT AND I’M GLAD!! WOOO!

Bad enough that the eliminated contestant was in top 5 instead of Carly Smithson, just like how Michael Johns went before Kristy Lee Cook. Bad judgment. Bleh.

And performance night, other than being boring, what was up with Paula? I’ve been reading online, and they say it’s about time that they prove that the show is rigged. Whoops.

Now. I swear I wanted to post something other than American Idol..

When there is no Internet, there’s always the telly to fall back on

Internet-less for the past 24 hours. I couldn’t check my e-mail, couldn’t blog hop, and I was agitated. Like her, I had withdrawal symptoms. I had restarted my modem and my router countless times, thinking that it was just my connection. Until her message arrived, then I knew it wasn’t just me.

However, thank goodness for TV. I spent a good 2 hours and a half watching Idol Gives Back, and spending half of it crying my eyes off, a quarter of it laughing, and the rest just enjoying the performances. I quite loved the opening performance by the contestants with their rendition of Rihanna’s Don’t Stop The Music. I also loved their performance on “Season of Love”.

I want to download the performances on iTunes, but there are some pages (including Blogspot blogs) that are inaccessible at the moment. (Internet still recovering in this part of the world, I guess.)

But tonight’s episode caused an upset in this household. One of my favourites had the least number of votes, and that sucks. I hate seeing my favourite go while some other not-so-good performers *coughKristyLeeCookcough* are still in the running.

I am glad, however, that Jason Castro did a brilliant cover of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. I’ve never really thought he had beaten his Daydream performance during top 24, until now. BRILLIANT! Love, love, looooove Jason Castro and his $600 ukulele.

Back to last night, after Idol Gives Back closed, I spent some time trying to connect to the Internet as if my life depended on it. LOL. In retrospect, it was quite all right. Because I ended up reading up on a few books. I finished just one, titled Hex And The Single Girl by Valerie Frankel. Loved it, light, and funny. Just the right ingredients for a good book, in my opinion.

Going to have an early night tonight, so I better start right on it.

Hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time

Today was my last day at The Company. I was willing myself not to cry and not say goodbye. And say goodbye I didn’t. I initially wanted to go around the office and say goodbye to everyone, but I had so much work to finish, I ended up swamped in my work desk.

Hopefully, I’ll see them this Saturday afternoon and I’ll bid them farewell.

I really am sad that I’m leaving as I have made some good friends there. I’ll miss my team, they can crack me up at the most groggiest of days. I’ll miss a lot about The Company.

:(

On a brighter note, I’ll be going for a long-overdue lunch with my girl friends at The Mall tomorrow. Which should be really, really good. I’ll see if the other girls want to do something else other than just lunch. Hm.

Oh, and the girls on American Idol this week bored the socks off me.
