Just heard this song on the radio today. Kudos to this homegrown indie artist! Damn cute (inside joke) :)

Is there life after American Idol?

That's what I realised after browsing through my past couple of posts. ALL of them are AI-related! And that obviously includes my obsession with Adam Lambert (IF he ever gets to come to Malaysia I'll definitely go.. but then again he doesn't have that clean, good-boy image of David Archuleta... so chances are pretty slim, honestly)

Ok ANYWAY!! Better stop fantasizing about listening to him sing LIVE (omg omg i want that sooo bad) and look what I found on my bro's facebook!


My niece Jiawen's all grown up and DATING! That boy is SO CUTE, by the way. Good catch :P

ED: I just found out from my sis in law that the boy is Liam, 6 months older than Jiawen :)

Just emotions, taking me over

I've been spending so much time at home studying for exams that I've forgotten how it feels like with the cool breeze in your face and the soft, dampness of the soil after a rain beneath your feet.

Oh darn it I forgot, it's Malaysia. And all you get is hot spasms of moving air (it doesn't even qualify as wind!) while you find yourself saying "Wah damn hot la" for an infinite number of times per day. Thus contributing to this depressing & non constructive post.

Ok enough said, I was supposed to be blogging about American Idol finale! It's the greatest hype around me at the moment. (can you imagine drooling over clothes and more clothes and shoes and more shoes and know you can never ever see or feel them for the next 23 days?)

Haha just realised I digress alot.

If you're wondering who I'm rooting for, it's 60% Adam Lambert & 40% Kris Allen. Honestly it didn't really matter who wins; I believe both of them will make it big in the music industry. And yesterday night I was watching last season's American Idol and just realised I didn't watch it! At All! I only knew the finalists are the 2 Davids; proving how successful this season is... honestly if it wasn't for Adam Lambert I wouldn't get all excited every week and wait impatiently for Ryan Seacrest to finish his "This, is American Idol." speech.

Adam Lambert & why he should win

Taken from http://tvmadman.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/adam-lambert.jpg

1. He's has the perfect guy's physique; tall, good looking, charismatic
2. Seriously. Who cares if he's gay? He can sing, like really really well.
3. Don't you enjoy his stage presence? He can be so theatrical and OTT but it's his form of self expression ain't it?
4. He proves the point that it's okay to be different, and honestly NO ONE is deserves to be called a freak.

Kris Allen & why he should win

From http://www.watchingamericanidol.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/kris-allen3.jpg

1. Humility, artistry (as quoted by Kara!) and talent at its best.
2. He's good looking, too, in a younger, cleaner, fresher way.
3. He's HOT on the acoustics!
4. Haha sorry can't think of anything else... that's why Adam wins by a fraction :)

That's all! Gotta get studying d :)

2 things that made my day

1. A (or maybe more) good laugh with college friends on lame stuff eg. I mentioned that in a drama series a character was paralysed due to skiing accident and everyone else heard skin accident instead of skiing and we were all like "hahahahaha you knock skin to skin and get paralysed hahaha" until i was in tears (sry for lack of punctuation)

2. This.



ADAM LAMBERT YOU ROCK! Literally :P

To all pre AS & A2 candidates, good luck and study hard + smart! (and may Malaysia be blessed with non-swine flu-ness. Or not I get paranoid everytime someone coughs/sneezes, and hold my breath for 10 seconds o.O)

Listen

... to Yen Woon! She can definitely sing :)



I'm telling you now I have a ginormous urge to do some serious songwriting after AS... then I'll ask Yenwoon to sing... then I'll be famous (at least indirectly) XD

Enjoy the song!

Fanatic

The week has been fairly uneventful except the brooding fear that Cambridge AS (Advanced Subsidiary) exams is just about 2 months away, and I'm still lazing around.. and dreaming about Adam Lambert.

He's my favourite American Idol contestant so far! Along with Danny Gokey and Alexis Grace :)



Go Adam!

Note: Very Intellectual Post Ahead

It's been a long time since I've got in touch with my mental healing side (not the psycho kind of healing ok) but here's some of the stuff that I find in the music nowadays..

*clears throat before beginning yawning-prone grandma talk*

People nowadays ah...

• Seem very confused of their sexualities. And sexual tendencies. E.g. do you feel like you're a gal trapped in a guy's body? or vice versa? or do you seem to fall for people of the same gender for no apparent reason?

Point taken from: I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry

~excerpt of the lyrics~
This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

K la honestly I have nothing against homosexuals, but I just don't get the bisexuals.... like make a choice! But no offense to any bis out there :)

But no worries; I'm still straight, single and very easily attracted to cute, young guys =P

People nowadays ah...

• Are very random, spontaneous and doing spur of the moment things. Like obviously "random" is one of the very "in" and "trendy" words that people use today (especially in blogs!). By the way I thought of something that Melissa Kong once said in my BRATs camp. "You know what's random? Brownian motion. -_-"

Point taken from: California - Metro Station

If I strum chords, would you sing a song with me
If I leave town would you leave along with me
We can fly away to outer space
We can find a way to leave this place

We don't need a map and you can throw your phone away
We don't wanna hear the things we know they're gonna say
You don't trust yourself but girl trust in me
Don't look in the mirror the past you don't wanna see

(Chorus)
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California

If we leave our friends then we can be together
We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats

(Chorus) x2

Hynotized by the carbon monoxide
Would turning back be a good idea
Your cigarette after cigarette
Cannot help to calm your fear

Randomness seems to make us sound more human and insanely cute, in a way, I guess.

So this is my shot at saying something totally random: "My pee today seemed less yellow compared to yesterday's." Haha. Very lame? at least I'm trying... :)

People nowadays ah...
(esp gals, no hard feelings) do not wait for guys to make the first move anymore. yay! off with overrated chauvinism! but sometimes some gals do get over-b*tchy over guys la.

Point taken from: Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne

~lyrics taken partially here too~
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
(And again and again and again)
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear

Better yet make your girlfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again
(And again and again and again! )

Cause she's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!

[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend

Let the lyrics do the talking. Enough said. *small squeaky voice* can I say something? Seriously if someone were to talk like that it would be extremely perasan/yi4 wei2/beh hiao ba/muka tebal. (sorry can't find proper word in English; please enlighten me)

People nowadays ah:

• Do not have enough spiritual belief (fyi I'm a Christian ^^; but it applies to all religions la i think). Honestly I pray every day but when exam comes I pray x100000 harder... which is not that good la. Go to Him when got problem only.

Point taken from: In God's Hands - Nelly Furtado

I looked at your face
I saw that all the love had died
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time

I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do
You couldn't care less about the lies
You couldn't find the time to cry

We forgot about love
We forgot about faith
We forgot about trust
We forgot about us

Chorus:
Now our love's floating out the window
Our love's floating out the back door
Our love's floating up in the sky,
In heaven, where it began
Back in God's hands

Gosh I love this song! super sweet and touching :)
