Gambling? Singapore Idol?
Don't test the depth of the water with both feet. Thats a very useful piece of advice for all you gamblers out there during this World Cup season. Speaking of which, I'm sorely disappointed in Michael Owen's kneecap, but I'm still going to support England and hope that Brazil doesn't win. I don't understand why is it that we have to pay to watch the World Cup in Singapore but the Malaysians get free live telecast matches on their tv channels. Television in Singapore is so boring nowadays anyway and it seems that the quality of the local programmes are getting shittier. Its bad enough that they need to copy ideas from other variety shows, now they make people pay to vote. As if its truly fair. In the end, the real winners are Mediacorp and the telecom company, while people like me get to be tortured by the "delightful singing" of certain individuals just because their friends/relatives/parents/fanclub/pet dog is filthy rich.
Take out a sheet of paper and make a list of the tv shows that you watch. My list is as follows:
Desperate Housewives (US)
Grey's Anatomy (US)
Smallville (US)
Charmed (US)
Anime on arts central (JP)
Cookshows on arts central (AU/UK)
新娘18岁 (KR)
大长今 (KR)
猜猜猜 (TW)
娱乐百分百 (TW)
Jacky Go Go Go (TW)
Cartoons on kids central (US/JP)
I don't even bother watching Singapore Idol. If I have to, I'll just catch the results show so that I'll only hear the singing of those who got in. Speaking of Singapore Idol, there was this 2 contestants who dug their own graves last night. I can't be bothered to remember their names, but seriously, when a judge gives his opinion, even if you don't agree with it, you shouldn't say that they are wrong. In fact, that was the only time where I agreed with Ken Lim that your singing really is weak. Confidence is a plus point, but over confidence turns into arrogance. Even my cousin sings and looks better than you. On top of that, during the results show, you said yourself that you didn't try your best and you still had the guts to tell people to vote for you? Gosh, get a life man, people nowadays.

The Best Food in the WORLD
You gaze longingly at the yellow and white signboard as your heart takes flight, knowing that you will be happy again very soon. You take yet another moment to ponder your decision as the angel and the devil battle it out in the deep recesses of your soul. Vicotry was a foregone conclusion and you take an uneasy step towards the artery clogging goodness that is the Old Chang Kee curry puff.
The pocket is one dollar lighter but the golden treasure that lies in your hand brings you joy and an odd sense of completion. Taking a peek into the paper bag, your eyes widen at the beauty of such a delicacy that is fit for the gods. Your fingers peel down the sides of the paper bag, at the same time, inching the curry puff out, so that everyone around you can witness the magnificence of this work of art.
Your hands tremble as you bring the glorious package up towards your mouth. Sinking your teeth into the top corner, your senses overload as the taste of the warm, flaky pastry kicks in. You savour every last bit and stare down at the golden curried potato bits hidden just beneath. Your heart flutters and you take another big bite. The spicy taste of the curried potatoes make you perspire just a little bit. Your tongue separates out the chunks of potatoes and delectable chicken as the aroma gradually overwhelms your self control.
Before you know it, its all over and you find yourself craving for yet another one..
.. And thats how I became fat.

STUPID Suggestions
I swear that reading the public forums on the newspapers nowadays can cause massive brain hemorrhage and cardiac arrest. Some of the ideas that some weirdo Singaporeans have.. I wish that they took like 3 days to actually think about the feasibility of their suggestions before putting it down for my poor eyes to see and my poor brain to comprehend.
Not too long ago, some guy said that we should cut down all the trees in Orchard Road so that we can see the beautiful architecture of the buildings along Orchard. I can see the buildings along Orchard just fine, even with the trees and honestly, are they that beautiful? I mean, beauty is kinda subjective. Thats why they have the Esplanade. Some people call it a work of art, others call it the durian, the cheeky ones call it ah gong's hairy balls. As for me, I stand firmly in the house of thought that the Esplanade looks like a housefly trapped in concrete. The point of the whole matter is, I like my trees the way they are, thank you very much but no thanks.
The next thing that I read was about the taxi debacle, where the typical kping Singaporeans with too much time on their hands write in to complain that taxi drivers in the entire Singapore are involved in a conspiracy! They are going to keep off the roads during peak hours so that the poor passengers can't find any taxi around! Lets ignore the fact that it specifically says peak hour. Nope, no can do. We want service and we want it now, says the spoilt brats. Sorry busters, but until someone invents teleportation, or portal scrolls, I am afraid that waiting for your freaking turn is just the way of life since you are obviously too stupid and too cheap to CALL A TAXI!
.. Did I state the solution to all that hooha up there? I think I did, somewhere in the last sentence of the last paragraph. *rolls eyes*
And the next smartass JC punk who comes up with the "Poly students are all bengs, lians, mats or minas" line is so gonna get owned by this ah lian. Grow up, the poly and JC thing is so damn old already.

World Cup Fever
Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the 2006 Fifa World Cup! For all the soccer crazy guys, this is a great opportunity to ignore your girlfriends without the repercussions! Unfortunately, in my case, I'm the soccer crazy one. *pats Mike*
Which is why its damn shitty that on top of the World Cup fever, the cold germs came to visit me and gave me the real fever. Couldn't even finish watching the second half of the Germany vs Costa Rica match. Well at least my prediction was closer than the reporter from the newpaper. I bet 4-1 to Germany and the match ended in 4-2 instead. Naturally no money was involved. What can I say? I'm too cheap.
I love my mummy though, she was mothering me all the way since last night. And she is still sick with cough. Aww.. Anyway, enjoy the world cup people. Its once every 4 years! Go ENGLAND!
