Hot Shot

.

very sad.... want to hammer my head, 摧心肝... very upset with myself. sigh....

好怄哦！！！

because if the 3 of them come singapore to promote their album or what, surely got ALOT of fans. that time they were at IMM (i think) for an autograph session. i saw on the news, wah, the queue is like damn long. and i mean, REALLY long *faints*. so its rare that Hebe is alone at a promotion... aiyah, wasted lah...

trying to watch this!!

i'm trying to make an effort to watch this taiwanese drama... "蜂蜜幸运草" ("honey and clover" in english).. there're quite a few taiwan idol drama that i wanted to watch, but either no time, or don't have the URGE to watch them. hahaha.. like 命中注定我爱你，翻滚吧-蛋炒饭，many others i forgot the titles already... the only one taiwan drama that i sincerely and diligently watched recently was "斗牛-要不要" because got Hebe!! haha.. now that all my ang moh series have ended their run (CSI, smallville, ghost whisperer - just to nane a few) and while waiting for new seasons to arrive, i shall just watch these taiwan ou xiang drama... hahaha...

WOW!!! holland won france 4-1!!!!

4-1

.

thats the scoreline that Holland beat France by. i'm really surprised how well the dutch team are performing!!!! a few days ago, i posted that although i support holland and hope they win, chances are really slim cos under marco van basten, they are really floaty and shaky as a team. even my cousin (he resides in holland) said we no hope, because we're in the group of death, with 3 other strong teams. and also because holland has always been underachievers... BUT HOW HOLLAND surprised us!!!

.

first we won 3-0 over italy (i'm still shocked by the performance, because the italians are reigning world cup champions!) we lost to them in the euro 2000 semi finals penalty shootout. so its revenge!!! hahaha

.

next we won 4-1 over france. WOO HOO! france were world cup runners up and champions of euro 2000. and we beat them, 4-1... !!! amazing stuff from holland, all the 4 goals were beautiful, and the build up and movements were breath-taking..

.

so i'm dedicating my post here, to the orange Dutch team....

.

GO ORANJE!!

"Superb Dutch floor Italians"

"Netherlands outplayed world champions Italy and romped to a 3-0 win in the first clash of the heavyweights at Euro 2008. A controversial goal from Ruud Van Nistelrooy, a superbly executed volley by birthday boy Wesley Sneijder and a third goal by Giovanni van Bronckhorst late in the game sealed a comfortable victory."

Gio van Bronckhorst celebrates his goal against Italy

that was the report on soccernet. WOO HOO! i watched the game last night, and i couldn't believe my holland can actually win the latest world cup champions italy. and its an impressive scoreline too! hahaha.. so happy with the Dutch team's performances, their counter attacks were brilliant, and dirk kuyt was fantastic, providing 2 good assists, he usually wasn't so good at liverpool. haha.

goals from van nistelrooy, sneijder and van bronckhorst. all nice goals! especially the 2nd, wah, how he hit the ball on the volley like that, and managed to beat buffon! buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world, and the dutch team managed to put 3 balls past him! miracle man. really cannot believe it! haha..

so now its, go ESPANA! and GO NEDERLAND!

EURO 2008 Austria-Switzerland

its finally here!!!!!

hahaha... i'm now watching the match between turkey and portugal, its a good game so far, MUCH better than the opening match between switzerland and czech just now, that game was boring. this one is better, high tempo, good counter attacks. and most important, both teams attack like mad. exciting to watch! haha.

i'm gonna support SPAIN to win the tournament. yeah, i've always supported Holland, but they are in the group of death, along with france italy and romania. holland have great players past and present but they just don't play well when together, and van basten (they say) is not a good coach, so very slim chance of them winning. even my cousin say they no hope. haha.

anyway, back to spain, i hope they play well and win! they had been so underachieving in the past, the spanish la liga is one of the best leagues in the world (re: barcelona, real madrid) so spain have plenty of great players in the national pool, but they just lack something.. i hope they win this time, and the man to help spain will be fernando torres!!! i believe he'll be top scorer. haha

hand gestures...

well... i find hand gestures very fascinating. because its universal, and EVERYONE in the whole knows what you're referring to, regardless of the languages. like thumbs up. and well, everyone knows the middle finger. hahahaha..

my post today is to vent off a frustration i "suffered" sometime ago. i was so totally pissed, i was black faced to that person the rest of the day, i wondered if he knew. anyway, i was in gentings (i think) with ruyin. is actually my guy friend asked me, so i jio-ed ruyin along. i really can't remember what the incident was, but i tink we were posing for the camera or something, and i thought the "V" sign was too boring (as in the index and middle finger V shaped, like a "2"? haha) so i posed with the "i love you" sign, like a thumb, index and small finger, you know, very rocker, haha.

after the picture was taken, my guy friend went, "that's a sign for the Devil... you know, as in satan?"

you know how defensive i can be. so i went, "no?! that's a i-love-you sign, very common"

friend continued, almost like looking down on me tone, "HA! you NUS university student you also don't know that's a devil sign?"

at this point, smoke already coming out of my head, i mean, he wasn't even rite abt the handsign, i was so angered that i nearly exploded. but his friends were around, i didnt want him to look stupid, so i didnt argue with him. why bother debating with this ignorant moron? i thought. so i just kept quiet. damn, i should have just retorted back, "excuse me, i'm sorry, i'm supposed to know EVERYTHING because i'm a university student, so you diploma cert guy is much smarter. btw, devil's horns is THIS (signs) " aiyah! why did i keep quiet and not say anything? not even to prove my point? wasted.

for your information, guy friend, the picture on the left, with ONLY the index and little finger up, can be a representation of the devil satan, because of its horns look.

the sign i made, is WITH A THUMB out. this sign's original idea was made using a combination of the letters 'I', 'L', and 'Y' from american sign language, and it consists of extension of the thumb, index finger, and little finger.

yah, its stupid that my mood was ruined because of a hand gesture. its retarded. LOL. but i was really angry at that point. because IF he had talked nicely and politely, or even asking me "eh? i thought that was the devil sign... blah blah" i would have replied and corrected him very nicely too. DID HE HAVE TO BRING IN THE FACT THAT I'M A UNI STUDENT? i mean, i'm sorry i got the brains and luck to study for a degree in NUS, while you're only an IT diploma holder. MY FAULT IS IT??? if he was right, i have nothing to say, have to be humble. but he got his facts WRONG! duh.

moral of the story:

"Get your facts right before you go sarcastic on ppl, dude."

.

真是没事找事讲，吃饱空闲硬要得罪人.. *shakes head*

JACK 'n JILL...

i'm obsessed with buying the jack n jill's potato chips recently... on normal occasions, i'd eat it in appropriate amt.. like 1 pack every 2 weeks or sth, its my favourite brand actually, LOVE the salsa flavour. but because now got Euro Cup promotions, got free soccer jersey metal handphone chain thing!!!! *screams* so i bot 3 packets in 2 days. hahahhaa.. so far, i've collected Czech, Italy, and SPAIN!!! yay!!! so happy they're the teams i quite like, especially Spain! when i saw its Spain in the 3rd packet i bought, i was like YES!!! and punching in the air. hahahhaa..
.
since england is not gonna be in the Euro 2008 (lousy man!!), the team i'll support is Spain! they have so much talent in the squad, i think they're the most under-performed in international matches. got Fernando Torres, David Villa, Joaquin, Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Puyol, is Raul still in international football? and their keeper is Iker Casillas!!! omg! fantastics players, how can they not win? haha.
.
and of course the Netherlands!!! also got very good players, but not strong as a team. most of the time its the selfish wingers lah, especially that Robben fellow, every time chiong inside the box on his own, instead of passing to stikers who are unmarked, and den lose the ball, damn frustrated. sigh.
.
so now i'm determined to get the Holland handphone chain. if only i have x ray eyes; hahahahah!!!

secondary school days...

were fun. and easy. haha. suddenly realised that eh, i wasn't afraid of studying, and i wasnt a hard working student in particular, studyings were always last minute. wow, how did i managed to get thru O and A levels? i also amazed myself. haha.

my class was A class, sec 3A and sec 4A, one of the triple sciences classes, and we had many prefects! i tink we have 15. and class size was 41. LOL. bcos in Cedar, prefect councillors were chosen in lower secondary. so all the good students were grouped together after streaming.. in the end, my class got 15 prefects. i tink my life as a student wasn't stressed because of tests and chemistry experiments. but very stressful because we cannot eat in class without the 15 prefects knowing. haha!!

i was clearing my drawer when i came across my diary, written while i was sec 3 and 4. not exactly diary, just wrote down funny incidents that happened. and i tink i was more active and hyper in sec 3 and 4. i dont remember much abt sec 1 and 2. probably bcos i was so low profile until i bore myself! LOL. sec 3 was fun. the teachers loved us, because we have the best students, the happening prefects, we joke with teachers and also got good results. our class not nerdy k, haha, we can play like mad!

why am i posting abt stuff that happened 10 years ago. OMG 10 freaking years! has it been that long??? sheesh!!! anyway, reading thru my writings, i recall some incidents, but when i read some entries, i was like "got meh? this thing happened meh? how come i dont remember?" haha.. yah, its good thing that i wrote something then, cos now when i read, its quite funny, and i go "oh, so this happened" sth like that. re-living the good memories.

last time Cedar used to be so on abt track and field. we RULED the track and field world, winning all the trophies. we would have the entire sch down at the national stadium to cheer our track team. and we always come in 1st place. be it 100m, hurdles, relays or long distance, long jumps etc... or 2nd place, when we have 2 participants in the same race. we would have well organised cheers, complete with actions! LOL. so happening back then. and its amazing to see a sea of blue (our uniforms blue lah) cheering together. one day i must go Anfield, to experience You'll Never Walk Alone, wah, see on tv also feel so touching! even Fernando Torres said he was touched by the Liverpool fans. haha.

anyway, this incident, or rather, this conversation happened while on our way to the national stadium. not the finals, but the heats. as in still qualifying stage. last time we can only wear white shoes ala bata brand. later, principal said we can wear white based running shoes if we have PE lessons. so that day we were all wearing normal white school shoes. and it was raining!! our shoes were wet lah, we were like, die! tmr no PE, cannot wear sports shoes. wet shoes tmr cannot wear!! our conversation was somewhat as follows:

Ann: never mind, just wear nike sports shoes tmr, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Jasmine: no choice lor, cant expect us to continue wearing wet shoes rite?
Wanrou: yah!
Yueting: luckily we have Eileen with us, so when we say our shoes were wet, the teachers will believe us. (as in, i was a guai, good, obedient student, never get into trouble with teachers before one. LOL)
Wanrou: but if the teachers spot and catch only Eileen, she won't have anybody to back her up, the teachers won't believe our words one.
Me: don't worry, my words are strong and reliable enough, i don't need backing.

HAHA, and the 4 of them roared with laughters, wondering how come i so BHB and so confident i wont be doubted by the teachers. hahahaha!!

Secret Files: Tunguska

I LOVE THIS GAME!

.
its got a PC version, but i played the DS one lah. its basically a point and click adventure game, where you pick up items and use them to fix certain things for example, in order to move on. the plot is, the lead character who found the office wrecked and her father missing, possibly kidnapped. and she goes on to uncover the secret of the project her father was working on, and goes around the world, to rescue him.

.

game play is rather user friendly, i explored around for abt 15 minutes before i got the hang it. and the graphics are quite good. and there are video clips every now and then, cut scenes, very interesting game!

.

there are little puzzles to solve here and there, thats not the difficult part. the game is actually quite difficult. as in, remember i said you need to pick up items? yah, so on your hands, you might have things like tape, cellphone, tube, salt shaker, pizza, plastic bag, handle, long stick.. etc. i get stuck easily at times, because i duno use what on what in order to trigger a cut scene and move on. so i relied on the game FAQ, haha, but i only check it when i'm desperate. hehe. anyway, to explain how difficult it is, let me quote an example, i had to put the pizza on the dish, so that the cat will come and it. and i have to attach the tape to the cellphone, and den attach to the cat. next i have to put the salt on the pizza, so that the cat will be thirsty and will run to the kitchen to drink water. and so, the phone on her will record conversations of the man in the kitchen. HAHA! before, i didnt know what to do man!

.

i used like 5 hours of game play time, to complete the game, and when the credits came on, i was in AWE, its like WOAH HOO!! because there's a narrator that tells what happened to the characters that appeared in the game, and mostly they are funny! example, there were 2 guys in cool black suits, they bodyguards lah, and the narrator said they later opened a tailor shop and sold black suits. hahahah!! so funny, and here comes the best part, there's even NG scenes and bloopers and outtakes!!! waahahaha!!! its the first time i come across a game that has NG scenes. hahahaha!! so funny

CSI: Las Vegas...

ok, i'm running out of english tv series to watch. the new episodes of smallville are coming out really slowly, so is ghost whisperer (due to the writers' strike mths ago i guess)... so now i'm watching past episodes of CSI Las Vegas, cos i think the cast is great, and the stories are interesting (altho gruesome at times). 2 words: its COOL!

i was watching episode 5 of season 1, and Grissom's line just blew me away, at the end of it, i was like giving thumbs up and clapping my hands and going WOAH!

Scene: Grissom is searching for presence of drugs in suspect Ethan's jeep. Holding the sample in his hand, Grissom turns to Ethan...

Grissom: What do you say, Ethan? These seeds look familiar?
Ethan: (laughs) You just fished these out of your undies? Look man, if you want to take me, in take me in. But i'll be back before the party's over.
Grissom: Cos you know the law, don't you, Ethan? "Mandatory suspended sentence for first possession" Yeah?
Ethan: (smiling, very smugly, thinking he can get away) Exactly!
Grissom: Let me tell you something. You're twice the age of these kids and most of them couldn't find their asses with a map. You prey on innocent children, concocting god-knows-what from god-knows-where, selling russian roulette in a bottle and you think we came all the way out here to bust you for "possession", you dumb punk?

-a beat, pause-

Grissom: I'm gonna get you for murder. Cool?
Ethan: *speechless*


WAH, very cool!!!!!

i won't go home without you...

i like this song!!

"It's not over tonight... Just give me one more chance to make it right...
I may not make it through the night... I won't go home without you"

listening to it on repeat mode.

oh yah, 2 incidents happened today so funny i wana share. first, i was queueing at mcdonalds my house there, i already ordered liao, so i'm just waiting. (oh yah, now they take down ur orders, den ask you to move to the left, another person will get u the food, and the counter continues with the next customer. but the left side is another counter taking orders, so there's not much room to move left, you know? lol) there's this young couple, i would say.. early 20s, one is school girl guai guai look, the guy is ah beng but behaves quite timid-ly. haha. anyway, the girl did all the ordering, while the bf just have the chao kuan face.

the girl went "i want a fillet o fish meal, i don't want the DAA-DAA sauce and ve-gee-der-bers."
the staff kenna stunned. even i also went blur. its like, hello? there are no vegetables in fillet o fish!! LOL. so the staff thought she wants to add vegetables to the burger, so he asked her "which type of vegetables you want?" and points to the pictures. the girl "no, i don't want the ve-gee-der-bers", the staff got it, and key in the order and went away. den the ah beng opened his mouth, in very ah beng chinese "他讲话怪怪的" (translate: he speaks strangely) wah lau! 拜托！please loh you then talk strange man! hahaha

2nd incident, i went to buy orange juice and campbells soup at shop n save my place there. i was looking at the different brands of orange and wondering which one to get. and i saw the No Frills brand of juice. 1 Litre only $1, wah!! so good bargain! then i looked right, and saw the 2 Litres bottle of the same brand, same juice, its $3.60. *pengs* so weird.

then at the cashier, after getting back my change, i asked the cashier auntie (i always buy chips at like 11pm-12mn, and she's on the night shift so she knows me, lol. btw, the shop n save is 24 hours, woo hoo! i don't have to go to the freakin expensive 7-11)... i asked her in mandarin, the 1 Litre is $1, how come the 2L is $3.60?... den she laughed and said she also wondering the same thing! she said normally bigger bottle should be cheaper, but duno why its even more expensive so strange. hahaha!! so funny...

i miss F.R.I.E.N.D.S...

i was watching an episode of Friends last night, and i couldn't help but think, OMG i really missed this sitcom so much!!! the tv series sex and the city also got movie coming out, how come FRIENDS don't have ah? sigh...

the episode i watched was season 10, the one where the stripper cries, and this joey moment made me laughed so hard, even though already i know the punch lines and jokes, joey's expressions were just hilarious:

(scene: Joey's a guest in a gameshow, "the Pyramid")

Host: describe for joey, things you find in the refrigerator.
Joey: (to the contestant) burrha!! they might as well just give us the points.
Host: 20 seconds on the clock, ready? go!

(the answer is "cream")
Contestant: you put this in your coffee...
Joey: a spoon! your hands! your face!
Contestant: its white!
Joey: paper! snow! a GHOST!
Contestant: its heavier than milk...
Joey: a rock! a dog. the earth. (looked very pleased with himself)
Contestant: (frustrated) PASS!!!

(next word is "mayonaise")
Contestant: you put this on a sandwich...
Joey: salami, anchovies, jam!
Contestant: it's white!
Joey: paper, snow, A GHOST!!
Contestant: it's made from eggs!
Joey: chickens?
Contestant: PASS!!

(the 3rd word is "ketchup")
Contestant: you put this on a hamburger!
Joey: ketchup!
Contestant: yes!
Joey: (continues) relish!
Contestant: stop!
Joey: oh.
Host: ok, time's up! joey! you were almost on a roll there...
Joey: *smugly* yeah!

-later-

Contestant: (very angry with joey) i got a kid starting college. i've to get surgery on my knee, you just lost me ten grand!
Joey: oh, wow! i'm so sorry, ok? i promise, we'll do better next time!
Contestant: well, i will, because i won't be playing with you.
Joey: (guilty look) but hey, you know, some of those were pretty hard! like why would there be A GHOST in my fridge?

hahahaha!! joey is so stupid, and funny!

just to add sth abt D.I.E

kenneth ma's character is a senior police officer, and he has 2 trusty subordinates, their names? Michael and Jackson. hhahahahaha!!! so everytime kenneth gave instructions, its always "Michael, Jackson, 你们去..." so funny!!

now watching D.I.E.

its a HK drama, 古灵精探, the english title is D.I.E., which stands for Death Investigation Extension. quite weird, haha.. the cast includes Roger Kwok, Sonija Kwok, Kenneth Ma. i like sonija kwok, i think she's very pretty, and her acting has greatly improved over the years. i watched her 2nd tvb series, Where the Legend Begins (洛神), and i remember thinking, wah, this girl cannot act! luckily she got the looks and beauty. haha. and now, her acting is so much better. oh yah, Where the Legend Begins was a really good, but sad drama, i cried my eyes out! think i watched it when i was JC2.. hahaha!!

anyway, back to D.I.E., in brief, its a cop drama, and roger kwok's character is someone who's able to see images flash before his eyes whenever he touches the victims' belongings or some evidence. apparently, those images are signals from the victims.. so with the clues, he's able to solve cases lah. as you can tell from the title, roger kwok is very 古灵精怪, and very funny too. Sonija plays a cop woman, who's very chor lor and impulsive, quite different from her usual roles. complete opposite from her role in 3D Angels. i'm very impressed with her acting in this series. almost all the scenes with the 2 of them are hilarious, great script writing man!

also worth a mention, is Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming (马国明). he's handsome, tall. but according to TVB's producers and veterans, he doesnt have the 男主角 look and seh. thats why all his roles are supporting, he was never a lead actor before. anyway, his acting is so-so. still look abit stiff, and the way he deliver his lines are painful to watch at times. and he's so much taller than roger kwok when they stand side by side, kinda funny to see the lead actor so short. hahaha. anyway, kenneth ma's Ah Sir role very stylish. he looks so cool! but abit too much at times, cos when he interrogates his suspects, he still wears his shiny reflective silver shades. LOL. and his hair, wah, very stylish!

the drama 25 episodes, i'm on 21 now, approaching the finale liao. i read reviews that the ending was disappointing. and the producers received so much mails and complaints that they decided to air the extended version of the final episode on 18th April, with possible alternative ending. so i hope someone will upload that special episode on tudou.com haha.

.

although kenneth ma is still quite wooden to be in a leading role, his acting is much better than our own christopher lee and terrence cao. sigh. anyway, kenneth will be in the next hot wu xia drama 少年四大名捕. its based on the novel The Four Great Constables. kenneth is one of the 4 characters lah, quite leading role. so i'm looking forward to his drama, because its got Raymond Lam, Ron Ng, and Sammul Chan as the other 3 constables. and the novel had already been adapted by china and taiwan tv, so i want to see how HK's one will turn out, since its got quite big cast. haha.

It's raining, it's raining...

i love this song!

ok ok, i don't know what he's singing about. but i like the song, its a good r&b and up-tempo song, the kind that i like. i think the part where his breathing comes in.. woah, damn sexy! cos i saw his concert, and when he sang this song, his dance moves: AWESOME!!

which reminds me, i need to get justin timberlake concert dvd! his live at madison square garden dvd came out for sometime already, but i just haven't gotten it i keep forgetting!! *screams*
