idol fever...
will it be vonzell, bo or carrie...??
hmm.. i hvnt done my bit to update my loyal blogees as to the status of the competition..
well.. can't blame me.. it got a bit boring when Scotty the Fattie refused to budge out of the competition...
gosh.. apparently there was this website some nincompoot set up to rally votes to see the psycho thru each week...
some americans really have nothing better to do...
yar.. and with scotty the fatty.. and anthony the lesser version of clay still in the competition... there was no doubting that the final 3 would be vonzell, carrie and bo... ok... not that i was rooting for constantine the 'butt crack face".. maybe just nadia..
hmm.. so who am i rooting for to reach the finals??
i must admit... i'm a sucker for the big ballads... and really was expecting bo to be kinda non-chalant bout the competition.. and hence throwing the competition... sometimes the audience really votes for the contestant who wants it bad enough... case in point.. scotty the fatty...
but anyway... after watching the commercial free telecast of idols... bo is the sure shot.. if he doesn't get thru... at least he'll still be guranteed a record deal...
vonzell suffered from some nerves with the big ballad.. thats second week in a row... cos she knows that she's the underdog going into the final three... with carrie never in the btm 3... and bo fast gaining popularity
and it looks like she might just break down at the finals if she gets there.. case in point.. diana degarmo's bung note when she performed Don't Cry Out Loud at the finals..not as if she would hv beaten fantasia... hmm... vonzell is a bit like fantasia huh.. without the big lips and ass... ok so maybe america doesn't need another fantasia... heh... at least she wasn't another jasmine trias... who's more like a shapelier version of scotty the fattie..
carrie... hmm... those who like her will say that she's really likeable... but those who don't will prob find her boring... i actually think that she's likeable when she's done with the song.. and a tad mechanical when singing... perhaps she's too focussed in trying to hit those high notes... but yar... i think she could do with a little more emotions...
but what's not to like?? she looks like alicia silverstone... she's an all american country girl....
let's just wait and see if there'll be any surprises...

i'm tired of writing...
bleahhh....
in the words of ming.... SHOW ME DA MONEY....
ok.. it was fun... initially... kinda fancy to begin with...
but there's always such as thing as OVERKILL...
i've written about 8 write ups...
and since they are mostly paid editorials (ie advertisements disguising as articles...)
you can only imagine the amount of mediocre stuff waiting to be embellished...
bleaah.....
only one week into the job.. and i've enough stories to tell for a long long time...
take this for example..
interior designers dont speak english... ok not well.. ok maybe only some of them speak badly...
i had to call DESTON.. just so that he could refer me to PAUL... who took a good 10mins to refer me to ELLIE.... and then directed my inquiries to DESTON.... what the.....????????!!!!!!!!
*faint*
i am having phobia of calling them up...
this other firm paid for an ADVERTORIAL... but i still had to churn out 1500 words... and the best thing is... i have to put in the name of the suppliers and waht nots along the way...
so as he was taking me on a walk thru over the phone..
guy01:.. ah yar.. and the parquet floor... you must say the supplier name.... chip and booty
me: huh? chips and vouz de?? (thinking that its some fancy name....
guy01: yar yar.... ah... then the sliding door.. is special one.....
me: eeeerrr.... wait.. can u spell cheeefs and beau des please...
guy01: oh.... CHEAP... as in not expensive one... and BEAUTY.... like beautiful.......
me: oh... CHEAP & BEAUTY!
yes.. so tehre.. what a job... never thought i'd coin the three words CHEAP AND BEAUTY in one sentence....
i am thinking of a psuedonym....
bleahha....

doggysitting....
i WONDER HOW i got this job...
tsk tsk... the poor doggy with a gross overbite gets abandoned by litte-miss-i-throw-everything-away-after-one-week...
(case in point... the tiffany stuff that got 'lost'... damaged phone... and now a little living thing... at least she din dump u in the trash and claim that she din know where IT ended up...)
you may just out-marry ms elizabeth taylor before u even hit the big 5-0
heh... but in all honesty.. walking the dog isn't that different from going to the gym with ming ming... heeee...
(ok she is SO gonna kill me.... but... but... i cleaned up my room so that the dog can move ard without tripping on his stumpy legs...!! brownie points?)
and of course... last but not least...
dissertation stuff...
