He's...too sexy for his PANTS....
Yesterday was a good day, for a few reasons.Switching Off
As usual I was put in the Ops Cell(for those guys who dont know, just imagine a hole in the ground, ok fine its carpeted and all, and yes there's a TV, but well basically its a really isolated place underground), where the worst thing is you cannot get any reception for your H/P. But anyways, I calmly opened the Laptop up and kept myself company, watching American Pie 3 and 13 going on 30. Not to mention the occasional game of EURO 2004. Hahaha, oh well, I was bored what would you expect me to do? But I realised that I could really get use to ebing alone and keeping myself company. Oh well, I hope 20 years from now, I will be in my own office, playing some funny computer game as my employees(ok colleagues) slave outside....happy thoughts happy thoughts...
Pizza Hut
Yest Phil gave us a treat at Pizza Hut. As expected, it was delicious, and unfortunately, as tempted as I was to order another serving of the drumlets, I resisted cos the bill had already come up to 93 bucks. But it was really nice lar, not much ppl, and as usual Colin aka Garfield had to shamelessly go up and ask if the fruits could be eaten for free. Haha..Thanx for the meal Phil. Gilbert asked me if I would do the same on my b'day, then I realised that if I were to treat ppl, I would have to give 4 different treats to the diff groups off ppl, which knowing my tight budget simply might not work out. But anyways, if all goes well and my finances keep flowing in, I will prob get the 6 Gs ready by January latest. And no, I'm not buying drugs or anything, they're for my university fees in the first year.
Phil's Present
Yest at about 1755hrs, we all entered the regulars' office for a "meeting" regarding some upcoming matters. However it was all a plan to get Phil in and take some rather unflattering pics of him. After I locked the door, I gored the poor dude, and though I must say he put up a struggle, a combination of a flexcuff and Garfield putting some Judo moves on him was enough to keep him immobilised. So down went his pants and I took a few photos with my HP, and Victor took with his digi cam. What a great moment, and looks like my scheming worked.
I should realli consider a career in this kinda thing, I think I'm good at it.
Singapore Idol Spectacular Round 1
Of course I was giving tuition at this time, but my ears were tuned to the TV too... Well the cock-up-ness of the whole show reared its ugly head when Gurmit announced that Candice Foo pulled out due to "personal reasons". Oh well, I was disappointed since I thought she was rather promising. Anyways from what I heard, let me give u the lowdown.
Leandra kicked things off, and of course I instantly knew that her voice wasn't suited for the song. Then came what 8 days called "Jesus-Thanking" Jerry Yeo, with a painful, souless rendition of Leader of the Band. Honestly, I think he can really make it as a voice talent on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. Umm....Jerry? That thing you did, you know quitting your job to become an artist or something? Well....it was NOT the right thing to do.
Hmm, well the others just came and went, Taufik was decent, and so were Jesse, David and Sylvester...but hardly outstanding lar. Chris tried to hard to become a Josh Groban, honestly I think dat Shanghai dude from the Unsung Heroes show would have pulled dat off better. Daphne was horrendous, honestly I don't know how she even got so far, her voice is much too helium-my for me. Olinda was not bad, one of the better if not the best. But her short hair, refusal to wear dresses and inclination to sing men's songs is getting to me....hmmmm....
Anways I was thinking and realised dat Singapore Idol is really so far off the mark from the American versions. I've seen and heard so many ppl who can sing much better than the 12 finalists, ppl like Jun, Clara, Darrell,Justin and Jeremy. Even Fong deserved to get in at least to the second round based on his voice alone. But the thing about them are that they would rather not take part in the comp, which as I'm slowly discovering, is becoming a revelation of wannabes, ppl who wanna make it big, and not a comp which is unearthing true true talent. Ben eio is the perfect example, Echo Boys, NS Idol and then Singapore Idol. I mean ppl, if u are seriously good enough, just send a demo tape to a recording company, send it to more, i don't care....but singapore Idol is not the way man. I hope I don't go back on this stand just in case I get pulled to go audition for next year.
But I think I won't lar, I'm happy making music where I am.
I do see the Singapore Idol a year from now, but not on people's CD sleeves, not on my friends' MP3 playlists, but instead on the gossip pages of 8 days, cheap fodder for the media, and of cos...who can forget the President's Star Charity?
Prove me wrong, all 11 of u.
Out.
