Stupid TV Shows...

This has been bugging me for months, I guess I have to get it out of my system!
Who watches 'The Simple Life" and "Growing Up Gotti" anyway? It is so stupid and insults the viewers' intelligent!

This is complete waste of our air time and even more complete waste of viewers' precious time.
Seriously.... Who is Victoria Gotti and why should we care about her life? It is not even remotely interesting. She have this 3 sons who are completely spoilt to the max.... real brats! The TV add says that There is a queen named Victoria lives in a castle with 3 princes!!! It suppose to be how 'hard' she have to work bringing up her spoilt brats and how she struggles with her love life. If you are multimillionaire, I guess it would be really 'hard' waking up before noon (after partying all nite) to prepare breakfast for your own kids. It really make me wanna puke...please.... I watched it once, and that 30 min of my life I am never getting back.

And don't even let me start with Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. I guess if you are born with not an ounce of talent in your bone, you have to come up with something lame like this stupid 'reality show' to gain popularity (Hmmm I guess the hot steaming sex video Paris' ex-bf releases wasn't enough for her to gain popularity) What is so interesting watching 2 rich and spoilt girls going town to town making fun of other people professions/the way the make their livings? What they know about hard work and actually earning for living? Seriously...somebody please enlighten me... I am so confused...is it considered 'in' nowadays?
No wonder Matt and Trey (South Park creators) dedicated a whole episode for them in "Stupid Spoiled Whore" .......Serve them right if you ask me!

Paris in South Park....isn't she lovely?

On the positive sides..... DON"T even miss the LOST, it is so interesting..... many had tried to produce show about bunch of people stranded in a mysterious island, but this is the best so far!
And American Idol off course....which I didn't miss once this season....... Whatever America voted, Nadia Turner is my Idol, it is sad that such a talented singer have to walk home so early in the show.

Thunder and Lightening Can't Change What I am Feeling

I am sad, my fish is dead.

The electricity went off yesterday after lightening struck. The funny thing is the electricity was back after few hours for the rest of the neighborhood except our my house!!!
It seems that the fuse was blown by lightening. The TNB came around 8pm (as efficient as always) and it took them to about 2-3 min to fix the whole thing...... If only they could have come 1 hour earlier, they could have saved my beautifully white Japanese carp(koi). It was only about 5cm when I bought it, on the day of its departure, it was almost 1 feet long!!!
I was devastated!

p/s: This post has been in my 'draft' for almost a month. I started it when I was actually sad, but now I feel plain stupid, after all it just a fish.

Just Imagine.....

I think John Lennon is the greatest singer ever. PERIOD


Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

-John Lennon

Backmasking (hidden message in songs, if played backwards)

I was skeptical about this until I actually heard the subliminal messages! It is just creepy! Some are definitely intentional but most are pure coincidence.

These are few examples, Well I am not going write those subliminal messages here, check it out yourselves at this site:

Dancing Queen..... Sweeeeeet!

I am a big...huge South Park Fan. I'll eagerly wait for each episodes to be available to be downloaded every week. And I'll watch it over and over it again. I'll even read the transcripts and the voice talents of each episodes.
Many regards SP as a vulgar show, but, I would say, it depend mainly on how you look at it. I think the show have tackled so many current issue, outspoken on most global issues.


For instance, there will be at least one "moral of the story'' at the end of the show.

Sometimes it would very intelligent such as:
"No, no. You know who was right all along? The Mongolians. They knew that you just can't wall yourself off from the outside world. Putting walls up never helps anything. Tearing them down brings us together. "
(When the South Parks parents took an extreme action by building a "Great Wall" around the town, to prevent Child Abduction. The wall, however destroyed by the Mongolians who appeared out of nowhere)
from episodes Episode 611 - Child Abduction is Not Funny.

Or it can be plain stupid, such as:
"Nobody should have the kind of power Barbara Streisand wanted!"
(When Barbara Streisand transformed herself into a giant monster and tried to take over the world)
from Episode 112 - Mecha Streisand.

Both are simple plain truth...nobody can argue with that ;)

What I really want to talk about today is WING, the latest episode from season 9.
I bet my life that nobody heard of Mrs Wing before. She migrated to New Zealand with her family about ten years ago from Hong Kong. She have been learning singing in New Zealand and doing performances in Rest Homes and Hospitals and occasionally promotional concerts.

Her songs are funny..... If you think William Hung is funny...well think again!
But unlike William Hung who tries to be funny, Mrs Wing really gives her all for all her album.... (yup, she cut 9 albums already!)
All of her songs are cover versions (of Beatles, Phantom of Opera..etc)

And ever since South Park dedicated an whole episode her, her popularity has grown so much that she is so busy trying to keep up with Radio and TV interviews, not only in New Zealand but in the US and Europe as well.

If you feel down and sad, and need cheering up, listen to her music, it will put smile back to your face.... I SWEAR!!!!

Bend it like Beckham....

Life is getting too routine.
I need something to spice up my life,
I need to do something spontaneous,
I need to do something different,
I need to do something that exciting...

What I did?

I shaved my head! It was the most spontaneous thing I have done in a long time.

I guess I look ok with shaved head... Kinda macho.... hahahh, but my wife says that I look like gengster!!!

Boy! was she surprised today when she got back from work to see my new look. She was wondering why on earth I was wearing cap.
"Your mum going to kill you!!!" she said, and she added "Thank God you are working nite shift this whole week....at least I don't have to sleep next to a gengster!!!"

Anyway, my new 'hair' gives me new energy all of sudden. I guess surprising ourselves is a great way to excite our live!!!




Rumours says that I look like Black version of Beckham........ ( I started the rumour... Ahaks..hahah)
