X-Men 3: The Last Stand was a tad disappointing. Angel was in it for less than 10 minutes, the storyline for Rogue was rubbish and everyone else seemed to be playing second fiddle to Jean Grey. But other than that, it was good entertainment.

Guess now it's time to concentrate on the exams. On hiatus till then.

My uni has this online market place where students can sell and buy anything ranging from cigarattes(illegally), books, cars blah blah blah. You can also advertise rooms for rents and seek for jobs. There's also a lost and found section which sometimes double as an entertainment section for the jokers out there. No idea what I mean? See some of the posts in the lost and found sections below.



Anyone seen a lost virgin running around@@?



Blame Crown for your lost at their casino.



I'm sure Dino could use one of the repliers' help.

- -??]] *＊☆:
here?
Ethan:
yes.
Ethan:
tell me your question.
Ethan:
/favour/

I'm offended!! When I "here?" someone, it does not automatically means that I need a favour!! Or do I?? -tries to look innocent.

Oh well... I guess when you have been my friend for 14-ish years, you would know me this well too.

So a HUGE thanks to Ethan for all the favours he has done for me which ranges from getting me a new comment box(anyone noticed it??) to attempting to fix my Microsoft Word bugs through 3G videocall and many more computer-related problems. What would my computer do without you? -grins.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Mom's sick on this supposedly joyous day. /.\ Hope she gets well soon!

Really do miss my mom. After being pampered by her for 18 years, it still feels weird to have no one to turn to when I'm down or just plain lazy even in my 3rd year of living away from home. Back home, she would always have Yeo's Green Tea in the fridge because she knows I'm totally addicted to one right after dinner. The perks of being the only child! So it's quite a bummer to open the fridge now and realize I only have eggs, milk and expired meat in them. I do admit though, I'm quite spoilt thanks to my mom. -sheepish grin. Oh, how i miss her cooking...... Great, this is making me homesick.

And no, I haven't forgotten someone else... Happy Mother's Day to you too, Beckie!! ^0^

My life revolves around music. Surprisingly though, I don't sing or play any instruments for that matter. I took guitar lessons for 1 year. Sad to say, I forgot everything there's to know about guitar playing. I sing in the shower, never in public. Only my mom and William has heard caught me singing to myself. -blushes.

Despite all that, I can't live without music. I can't imagine anyone who can. My life's advices are taken from lyrics, my days inspired by what I hear. Maybe that's why my blog headings have been all changed to song titles. Can anyone name the bands? -grins. No prize for guessing right though. (I always believe that Google and Wikipedia can almost always answer anyone's questions.)

That's why I'm eternally grateful that ABC has Rage. It's not MTV but it's definately up to par. There are no boybands, pop idols, singers turned actresses and all that rubbish. Although Rage's Top Fifty does have teenyboppers but you can't have everything your way, now can you? Gluttony is a no-no when I get to listen/watch clips ranging from Eskimo Joe, End of Fashion, Less Than Jake, Coldplay and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Thank God video killed the radio star.

Women's intuition.
It's supposed to be dead on, isn't it? A fool-proof way to tell that when your boyfriend says "You look awesome in that dress", he really means "God... That's a bloody huge ass" or when your bestfriend asks "Are you full?", she really means "Are you anorexic?"

But sometimes, just sometimes, don't you just wish you might be mistaken? That for some reason, other than you not being a woman anymore, your supposedly all high and mighty women's intuition is wrong.

Because it can be terribly ironic when you know you are right but you have been wronged. Not only is it ironic, it's oxymoronic and just plain screwed up. It just kinda proves that being right isn't all that.

US has Ashlee and Jessica Simpson
Australia has Danni and Kylie Minogue
UK has... erm... amnesia striking me again... erm... forget it

Well, Hong Kong now has Janice(left) and Jill(right)!



Wah lau... When Dino told me that Jill was bad, I didn't think he meant that bad. But wait till you see the video for her single - Lonely. She cavorts around like she's Beyonce, dresses like she's from the Pussycat Dolls, which is great so far BUT... she sings like she's Beyonce + PCD + Eve i.e RnB + Pop + Rap. Which is seriously not working for her. Crossing over genres is a delicate issue. I'm still waiting for someone to balance three genres in one song and succeed. Too bad it's not her time yet.

And if I were her, I would show the lyricist the door. Why?

Sample lyrics (Lonely):
Suddenly I wanted something sweet like candy
So I grab some cranberry, put it in a blender
Half a minute later
I got myself one big sweet cranberry milkshake
With my shake in my hand watching TV like an old man
My dog came along starts singing me his new song
woof woof woof WHAT You want a sip of my shake


Tell me, why in the world is her dog singing to her??? Couldn't she find a better analogy? (doggie pic from 1-2-3 Draw Cartoon Animals)

When she sang rapped the word "milkshake", I suddenly had this image of Kelis in my mind. And I must say I was sorely disappointed with the tone of the rest of the lyrics after that word, partly thanks to the raunchiness and oversexed lyrics of Kelis' Milkshake.

Few days ago, I was going through William's geography assignment when I got stumped by temporary amnesia of the name of an animal that I thought would be useful to include in. So I decided to ask the best three candidates I could find on my MSN to see if they knew what animal eluded me at the moment.

After very little deliberation, I messaged Beckie, Bryan and Wei Chuan. Beckie because she's my mommy and doesn't everyone says "Mother knows best"? Bryan and Wei Chuan because they are Singaporean and I assumed that they would know. Especially Bryan who never fails to correct my English pronounciation. I know la... Your English better than mine la...

So I typed:
What's the name of a rat-like animal which lives in the desert that likes to stand on their hind legs?

Anyone reading this wanna take a shot? No prizes for guessing right though. It's pretty easy.

Anyway, both Beckie and Bryan got it right. But that joker Wei Chuan... Wah lau... I have nothing to say to him anymore. Actually I do.

"EH!!! Attend lectures for God's sake. I have never seen you for n-th weeks!!"

Back to the point. You know what he answered me? Take a guess again.

OSAMA!!!

WTF!??!??! Where did that come from? So I checked my question again to make sure I didn't type something along the lines of "What's the name of the scoundrel who lives in the mountain in the desert somewhere who likes to kill people?" Hmmm... Nothing wrong with my message. Then it hit me!! -lightbulb flashes on top of my head-

Rat:
A person who is deemed to be despicable or contemptible
Source Dict.org

Lives in the desert:
Uh huh!! Who's still hiding in the desert according to US intelligences?

Stand on hind legs:
Humans can be perceived to be standing on hind legs with the hands as fore legs.

Wei Chuan was, in fact, right all along!!! What a case of reading between the lines.

So I leave you with a picture of the cute animal whose name is Meerkat, not Osama (fortunately for them).
