Malaysian Idol (late review)
Yes, I know I'm late on my personal thoughts about this season's Malaysian Idol lar. People busy marrrr... I had to blog ler, kinda tension lately in the office. So sneak a few minutes to blog :P

But seriously, I feel this year's Malaysia Idol was more like a popularity contest rather than a real singing competition. It was a matter of who has a bigger (and stronger) fan base. And it was very obvious the ahbeng Daniel has a bigger fan club. Despite the obvious fact that Nita was a way better singer and performer that the ahkua Daniel, somehow Daniel won this season's competition. How reliable are these SMS voting systems anyway? 68% or 1.2 million votes? Sure boh? So does that mean the ahbeng's Daniel's fans have been SMS-ing like crazy? Telcos sure kaya lor!

No, I don't think Daniel deserve to win this season. In fact, he shouldn't even qualify. He can sing a little, maybe he will do better if he had took part in the Astro Talent Quest you know. His style of singing is kinda like Jay Chou, just mumbling. Jay Chou is also one of his fav singers (he mentioned during the press conference after he was crowned). Daniel mumbles when he sings, I can't make out some words he says even when he's talking. Its like he's mumbling the first few words and only pronouncing the last word clearly -_-"

Shoot me if you want, but I still think Daniel won by fluke. And this season's Malaysian Idol was a disappointment. The problem with all these SMS votings is, a lot of times people are voting for the people they want, not for their true talent. He/she's my son/daughter/friend/gay lover, let's vote for him/her. In Daniel's case, it's more like his teeny bopper fans screaming "Daniel! Daniel". Cute meh? So ahbeng... *snicker*

I found it funny that this year, the hosts (Jien and Cheryl) did not ask the judges who their preferred choice for Idol. They popped the question last year, didn't they?

A Tribute To David K.H. Liew
David passed away yesterday morning. He has been battling leukemia for a while. This post is a tribute to a dear friend. I had meant to do this post yesterday, but I was really upset upon hearing his passing, plus I didn't have internet connection at home.

David was a real clown. Always cheery and laughing and poking fun at anything. An avid diver, David has been to several dive sites around the country. Although we knew he was sick, he never talked to us about it and we didn't know what illness had befall him. So we never pushed him to tell us. Despite that, he was always the clown in the group.

David, we will miss your laughter and your jokes. I know you're gone to a much better place. A place full of joy, happiness and love. I thank god for having the chance to get to know someone like you. We love you David.

There will be no postings for the next few days as I will be away from town.

*Update: David was suffering from anemia, and not leukemia as posted. He had kept it a secret from just about everyone, even his own family and friends until recently (when the situation got worse). The brave guy fought the battle alone. Maybe he didn't want the people he love to worry about him. David is a good guy... and he's at peace now...

Multi-Tasking
It's been said that women multi-task better than men. I don't know if there has been any studies conducting to prove this point or not, but from my observation, I think it is quite true :P

One good example would be the men in my life; Hubby, my dad and my sister's fiance. Now all these 3 men cannot do two things simultaneously! They either have to watch TV or talk, never two things at a go.If you talk them while they're watching TV, you'll probably be damn frus cos they're not listening to you. More like, they are not aware you're talking to them cos they can't do two things at the same time.

I'm not the only one saying this. Both my mum and sis also agree... men just can't handle two things at the same time. If a guy is on the phone, and you're talking to him at the same time, the guy would wind up saying the same stuff you're telling him to the other person on the other line!

It's funny how a man's brain is wired hor :P They say men cannot multi-task, yet studies show that men think of sex every 6 seconds. Interesting...

Guide to achieving "El Cheapo" status:
1) Grab your free lunch from a nearby open house organised by some developer. Sign up as new registrant and get free gift. Go tour the showunits and comment loud-loud. Imagine where the extra beams, columns and pipes would be and be thick skin, share the info to the world.

2) Drive to Samsung warehouse sale @ Shah Alam. Grab as many lucky draw tickets to wipe out all competition. If necessary, get someone to lift you up to grab tickets from Samsung reps (pull his shirt if you have to get his attention!) Molestation charges may not apply here.

3) Upon getting the tickets, offer to sell them at RM 5 per piece to people that didn't get the tickets.

4) When the sales rep announce the lucky numbers, don't wait for the reps to call the numbers. Instead, shout your number to them.

5) Takes pictures with some roaming cows and post in forum. Make people believe you actually went to India.

6) Grab free dinner at the same open house again.

7) "Borrow" some tanglungs from same open house. Swift action is vital here to avoid unnecessary confrontation.

Note: Such practises do not necessarily guarantee a straight road to achieve the "El Cheapo" status. One must be of open (not necessarily sound) mind and have swift action. Also, one must be extremely thick skin and have a "Just-Do-It" attitude. If you're gonna be cheap, be cheap all the way.

Recovery Period
Ever felt that you're taking longer than usual to recover from a tiring activity? During your younger days, you could sleep really really late, stay up all night and not feel tired at all. You could hang out with your friends until the wee hours of the morning or work on your projects, and still get to class the next day without complaining of being tired and sleepy and bla.

Those days are over. Now you feel tired when the clock strikes 11pm and you just have to crawl into bed for your beauty sleep. Of course certain days you can still stay up until pass 1am. But getting up the next morning takes a hell lot out of you. When the morning comes, you still feel you didn't get enough sleep and you just have to sleep some more. You'll start asking "Why the sun come out so early wan!?!"

Yes, age is catching up :(

Tanglung

Image source from www.ppas.org.my

Nowadays you see battery powered tanglungs with characters like Doreamon, ShinChan (Dr.Liew???), Pokemon, Chibaiderman Spiderman and etc etc. All made of plastic, some have many colourful lights, some have music too. Can hardly find the tanglungs made of plastic glass paper.

I find those plastic tanglungs so fake. No character at all. So boring. Still the plastic glass tanglungs are the best. Colours are nicer, more character, a real feel of Mid Autumm Festival :D Even the paper tanglungs look nicer than the plastic tanglungs. I bought a pack of paper tanglungs from SS 2 pasar malam the other day. A pack of 12 cost me RM 6.50, and bought some candles as well. Each candle can last 20minutes. This Saturday my neighbourhood is having a little tanglung get-together :)

By the way, don't carry the wrong coloured tanglungs during Mid Autumm Festival ok. White tanglungs are not for this festival :P

Mooncake!
Even before the start of the 7th lunar month (Hungry Ghost Festival), I've already seem mooncakes going on sale. WTF! These people are rushing the season every year! Hungry ghost belum datang, itu mooncake sudah mali... -_-"

Hubby and I went scounting for mooncakes the other day. Normally it's the packaging that attracts buyers. Cute little boxes, nice paper packaging, graphics, the whole works. Companies are spending more each year to attract more buyers, and you are lured through nice packaging design ;) Whether or not the content taste good, I dunno lah :P

And the many flavours for mooncakes these days are astounding. Besides the usual lotus paste with yolk, there's also pandan, coffee, chocolate. Hell, even tiramisu, bird's nest and dragonfruit in thrown in o_O I don't know about you guys, but I like my mooncakes the traditional way. Lotus paste with yolk, that's all. All these tiramisu dragonfruit pandan ciau concoction... not my type ler. I prefer my mooncakes the old fashion way :D

Your Hands Are In My Hair
You know the ad where the guy approaches this girl in some party? He walks to her, muka macam itu Taiwanese F4 ahkuas. The girl is with her fiends friends, giggling and all, eyes big-big like hentai anime character. And she spots the ahkua guy walking to her, then she macam shy-shy liddat, twirling her ranting-like hair. The guy oso macam buaya smile-smile at her, ask her for a dance. "OK... *smile smile*"... But then hor, her finger got stuck in her ranting hair o_O She pull pull, her finger still stuck wor. Summore got sound effects *shhccckkk shhccckkk* Then the guy lansi, walk off lor. Then the shampoo come out, show shiny shiny hair, the girl sui-sui, pink-pink, hair soft oredi, no more ranting hair. Ahkua guy runs his fingers through her hair, fingers din get stuck langsung. He buaya smile, she humsup smile. End of story.

I think shampoo ads are some of the dumbest on TV. Why do I say that? Cos all the lights and illusions help sell the product. Where got hair so shiny wan? Summore always so long straight hair. What about people with short hair lah? And further more, once a while I get emails about certain brands of shampoo having too much of some dangerous chemical. Apalah! One side selling the shampoo, the other side saying shampoo can make you get cancer. Tsk Tsk. Driving consumers up the wall only.

I think one of the worst shampoo ads I've seen is the one where this 2 women jalan-jalan on the streets, the suddenly WOOSH! A gust of wind blew their hair until damn messy. But they saw this other girl just use her fingers to comb her hair nice-nice. Wah! They sibeh jeles, think the girl must be some model. Mana tau, the girl say she only use the shampoo to straighthen her hair -_-" If shampoo can really straighthen your hair liddat, hair saloons all can chap-lap liao lah.

Dunno why I talk like ahlian today :P Nyeeehhh...

For Charity...
I was going to blog about this, but I don't have internet connection at home so I didn't blog lor. Plus it happened on a weekend. Also, Michael Ooi blogged about something like this before I did.

Ever so often you are approached by some salesperson or even students in uniforms telling you they're on a worthy cause and asking for some donations to help the organisation they're representing. Be it NKF (National Kidney Foundation) or some old folks home or dialysis centre somewhere in this country.

These people "representing" such organisations will be carrying a thick file and holding a bag/pouch, dressed in long sleeve and slacks.. NKF ones will be standing in front of shopping malls or along the sidewalks, holding up bookmarks and plastic fans and a small container to *koff* donate your money in, dressed in the NKF t-shirt. And hell, even students (some from other states) are involved!

"Hi miss, sorry disturb you. We akcherly from XYZ and we wanna tell you about this group of peeper hor... They very chai-leong wan. All alone, no family, summore they sick hor... bla bla bla bla..."

"Hello miss! Good afternoon to you! Wanna buy a fan? It's for charity. Only 5 ringgit."

Do you realise how much of the amount you gave is ACTUALLY going to charity? There was a newspaper report just the other week, and an estimate breakdown of the actually cost. By the time you deduct here and there, only a few cents is going to charity. I kid you not. Your 5 ringgit fan, only about 20cents will go to charity. The rest is split between the middlemen. Even the person(s) pushing the fan to you earns a little bit of commission. Charity? That's not charity. You're not helping charity. You guys are misusing the word to your own benefit. You guys are EVIL! Students in this scam! WTF are you doing all the way here during a school night?!?

The word CHARITY has been so often misused it no longer holds any meaning lah. Because of all these unscruptulous people lah. They get you to part your money all in the name of charity, then pocket 98% of it and the puny sums they hand over to charity. That's why I don't buy or donate to such crowds. I'm not being selfish... It's just that I know where the money is going. And when they start preaching to me about how they're helping charity, I would normally answer "Very little is going to charity, did you know that?" They get quite a shock, clam up and walk off.

IKEA Male & Female Sections
A blogger friend of mine, dSaint, once mentioned to me that IKEA should think of splitting their sections to male and female sections. Reason being the female species have a tendency to buy anything that makes their little emotional heart flutter (read: deco items... things they don't really use/need... *ahem*). Where else for the male species, they just browse, tinker with the displays, browse a little more and walk away. And when women buy, men complain. So end up women cannot buy and they complain men complain they buy so they cannot buy because men complain they buy. Geddit? :P

Anyway, when dS told me his theory, I kinda found it quite funny the first time. But of late, I find his theory actually makes sense. It's actually a good idea to have different sections for both sexes. You know why? Women like to take their own sweet time browsing. Just looksie-looksie, touch-touch a bit (the items, not the IKEA salespeople ok), do some planning & imaginative works, think-think, then buy buy buy :P Men on the other hand... well... quite straight forward species they are lar. Look, touch, think, put down, walk off.

I think if IKEA were to implement male & female sections, mebbe both species will have less fights :P LOL The women can go on their shopping spree while their boyfriends/husbands/partners can browse through their sections, walk to the end and wait at the cafe, sip some coffee & wait for their wives/girlffriends/partners).

*hubby sometimes oso liddat, complain... damn potong stim...
