This One's For Sandra

Guess who? (The person on the left obviously)

Yes people, it's none other than the beloved, everybody's favourite Disney teenage star Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana!! Would you just look at her, all grown up into a woman. How sweet.. For you Miley Cyrus fans out there, here's the real deal behind all these.

Let's just hope she doesn't turn into another screwed up Disney star in the future eh? =S

Hail Ballack!

VS

Just moments ago, one of the classic battle happened between the two major monster clubs of the English Premier League: Manchester United vs. Chelsea. After 90 minutes of kicks, shots, saves, cheers, boos, whistles, cards, emotions and the sort, the final outcome was...

CHELSEA BEAT MANCHESTER UNITED 2-1

As a Chelsea fan myself, I have to say I'm ecstatic at this very point of time. Football has never been more interesting when you watch the team you support go through grind and sweat and manage to emerge victorious.

Now I'm certain that all the Manchester United fans out there would have been disagreeing with me right from the very start, some even at the verge of killing me. All I have to say is: it's nothing personal, it's just football. Sorry for supporting the winning club, better luck next time! =D

The MVP of the game has to be undoubtedly none other than the German captain Michael Ballack. He who single-handedly brought Chelsea out of the dark and into hopes of winning the title. Heading a goal in during the first half and scoring the penalty during the last few minutes. Ballack, kudos to you.

So, foul's fair and fair's foul. It has all come down to the last two games of the league. Chelsea and Manchester United are tied at the top with 81 points each. In order for Chelsea to win, Manchester United has to screw up at least one of the remaining games. Best case scenario: Man U loses both than a draw or win from Chelsea is enough to push it through. Worst case scenario: Man U wins both and there's nothing Chelsea can do. Because even if Chelsea wins both too, the goal difference between them will settle it and we all know how on form (gay) Cristiano Ronaldo has been this season. Soo.. There's nothing to say about it.

So, it's game on for the last two games of the season. To all the Man U fans out there, may the best club win. And as for all we Chelsea fans, let's just roar in unison wherever we are, be it at the match itself, behind TV screens, on the computer / laptop monitor or even hearing the live commentary from a radio:

THIS IS CHELSEA!!!

Destress

On monday chapel, the speaker talked about stress and ways to destress yourself. Found the talk pretty good so decided to share it here.

D.E.S.T.R.E.S.S

1. Design
Nonono, the design here isn't what you think as in the architecture / fashion type of designing. Design just simply means being creative, letting your mind roam around and be free, setting your imagination loose in the wilderness and stuff. Just letting go to destress, be it writing literature in forms of prose and poetry, going Leonardo da Vinci on your blank piece of paper, splatting paint-bombs all over a canvas, shredding on the electric guitar or whatsoever. You can destress by being creative.

2. Exercise
Ahh.. This is an obvious and well-known way. Exercising releases endorphins, which kills stress. Hence, exercising's a great way to destress. Physically demanding exercises are highly recommended as they are much more effective. And no, exercising your brain by playing games is not counted. One of the best examples would be boxing (need I explain more?).

3. Sing
Believe it or not, singing releases stress. Yep, it does indeed. According to the guy, singing is just a more pleasant form of shouting / screaming but for it to have the same effect, you have to sing out loud and loudly. VERY LOUDLY. Just think, Whitney Houston & Josh Groban. Somewhere along those lines. =D so this very smart speaker came up with the idea that we should blast the national anthem & school anthem on Mondays to shoo away the Monday blues. Hmm.. Yeah right, as if that would happen.

4. Talk
Yep, another all-time favourite destress method. Talking is one of the most effective way to destress through the popular "venting" or aka "bitching" where you just unload and dump all the sh*t and crap you have been through on the most unfortunate pair of ear or ears on earth. Also, keeping everything to yourself and burying them deep inside your heart is also bad for health as this all will accumulate. Sooner or later, all those stress will implode from the inside out and KABOOM! That's the end of you.

5. Recreation
Recreation = activites done to kill time or out of leisure to enjoy and satisfy
Basically, recreation refers to all the activities you can do to release stress. Main purpose is to have fun and enjoy. So.. Don't think I have to elaborate more on this point.

6. Eat
This has to be the easiest and favourite-test method of everyone reading and not reading this post. I can bet my life on it. Yes, eating DEFINITELY releases stress. For guys, the general satisfaction is a huge buffet + booze. Stuffing themselves silly with junk good works great too. Girls however, are a whole different story. Some copycat the guys and just gobbles down whatever they can lie their hands on. Others are satisfied with a 1 large tub of ice cream and the most popular one of all: chocolates, chocolates and more chocolates. Well, the only similarity here is that salads are definitely out of the menu for the time being.

7. Sleep
And here's another all-time favourite too. Not sure if people can choose between Eat or Sleep, for me, I'd rather do both. Think most of you would agree with me on this too right? =D Well, sleeping seems to be the least energy-required method of them all. Stressed? Just sleep it away and everything will be alright when you wake up. Wow.. Talk about a good night's sleep! One thing to watch out for is, try not to overdo it. Don't think that anyone should go into hibernating just because they were stressed. Worst thing that could happen? Go to sleep stressed, and wake up on the wrong side of bed the next day. Lol. XD

8. S_________
Unfortunately for the last one, I've totally forgot what it was. =S Well, feel free to fill in whatever you think should be considered as a destress method. However, to prevent those sicko-minded people first, I will say it myself first that sex is NOT a destressing method. At least not in our age group now. Haha. Come to think of it, Sidney fits up there too right? XD

Anyways, it's been a long ass post. Hopefully it can make up for my soon-to-come absence due to the coming exams. =\ So, till we meet again.

Cheers, Sidney.

So Patriotic

All American Girl Video

One of the best yet from the all-so patriotic 4th American Idol, Carrie Underwood.
Wonder when and if the next Malaysian Idol will come up with a "All-Malaysian Girl"

Hmm.. Think we'll most likely end up with something like this:

Who said we Malaysians aren't patriotic? Patriotic enough right? =P

I'm Sprung

It was a Wednesday night.
The night was cool and windy.
The boarding school lights were on. Sweet.
My heart pounded along in a "thump-thump" rhythm.
The constant squeaking on the floor made my heart race.
Perspiration ran down my eyebrows like mad.
The "swoosh-ing" sound of the net made every shot count.
Basketball was the name, scoring baskets was the game.
Ballin' in the darkness of the night.
Putting your skills/luck to the ultimate test.
What else could I ask for?

However, my joy was short-lived.
A bad jump and an even worse landing,
ended up with a "CRACK!".
Next thing I knew I was on the floor.
My right foot pointing the opposite direction from my left.
"Damn, sprained ankle."
How the hell am I suppose to do my 2.4km run next week now?
Worse part was, I didn't make the shot. =\

Moral of the story?
Basketball at night = ah-uh

definitely, maybe

Synopsis: "Definitely, maybe" is a romantic comedy. Story's mainly about Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds), a 30-something Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce when his 10 year old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love.

Will's story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the Clinton campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as a idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women.

Will hopelessly attempts a "PG" version of his story for his daughter aka. censoring certain parts and words, and changes the names of the women in his past relationships so Maya has to guess who he finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl next-door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? Is she his new-found, longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April (Isla Fisher)? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz)?

As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely never too late to go back...and maybe even possible to find a happy ending. ____________________________________________________________________ Simply put, "Definitely, maybe" is about the story of Will and his past three relationships with three different women, which he tells to his daughter Maya. Maya asked out of her curiousity of who is actually her mum due to an unexpected sex education that happened in school.

"Definitely, maybe" is one of the GOOD movies release this year. It's not the typical romantic comedy type of movies as it is more intriguing and more interesting than others. There's a certain zest in it. Few things that makes it stand out among the others is:

1. 3 B-E-A-UTIFUL actresses in the movie. All three of Will's ex were gorgeous women. Emily (Elizabeth Banks) the blonde, April (Isla Fisher) the redhead and Summer (Rachel Weisz) the brunette. That's how I remember them. Hahaha.. The three actresses were not just sexy or the sex-appealing actresses but more of the attractive and really pretty women, which made it one of the more genuine and realistic romantic comedies.

2. Maya (Abigail Breslin) Her character in the movie just tickles the funny bone and delivers a very deep message to whoever watched the movie. She plays the innocent, naive and clueless bystander who absorbs and tries to understands the story. Her funny and witty remarks makes people laugh at her innocence and also her sharp perception is one to be admired.

Maya: What's a threesome?
Will: It's a game, that adults play sometimes... When they're bored.
Maya: ...Whatever.

3. PG? More like "U". This movie is suitable for anyone and everyone, and I mean ANYODY and EVERYBODY too. Yeah sure, there's bound to be some sexual references in it but what movie nowadays don't? Heck, the movie even started with sex education in a primary school!

Anyways, when i say that it's suitable for everyone, I meant as in.. ermm.. "status" way. For singles, this movie's a heartwarmer as the romantic essence in it just makes people go "aww" in the end. Kinda like the perfect cure for a bad mood or a bad day, a sure movie that will cheer you up. For couples. this is the perfect movie for dates and especially Valentine's! Very good show because of the "lubby-dubby"-ness in it. Overall, the movie is just best suited for people in this category.

As for families, the relationship between Will and Maya (divorced father & daughter) is a very close and open one. A perfect example and role model for all families to learn from. Last but not least, for th married / elderly, this movie relives the past as it tells about three different situations where they will surely have known or even experienced before. Also, due to it's "predictable-ness", the movie's not such a tough cookie for them to understand.

All in all, I just have to say: Till this point of the year 2008, "Definitely, maybe" is the best romantic comedy so far that scores perfect overall marks and is surely one for the keepers. In short, I'm just telling whoever's reading this post to just GO & WATCH THE MOVIE!! =D

Trust me, you won't regret it. (Words from a movie critic? hmm..)
P.S. My favourite "ex" is April! =D Who's yours?

At this point of time, I'm just effin' pissed at some Vietnamese guy from my boarding school. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid #!%$&$^**$@# CENSORED.

Lost a t-shirt of mine some time ago this year, after CNY and before the March holidays. Stupid laundry. Thought that I'd never see it again. But.. Who knew? God is good. All the time! Amen? This guy shows up wearing it before me. o.o

Confronted him on the spot and questioned him about it. And he.. Came up with some lame excuse "No it can't be yours, I bought this at Bugis." Yearite.. My ass!! Got the t-shirt at Indon u #@#!@$%%@# Haiz.. Couldn't do much after that so just watched as my t-shirt disappeared from me a second time.

Worst part is, the guy's gay. Yes you got that right, he is GAY. GGGGAAAYYYYY. =.= I just wanna get my t-shirt back, (definitely not gonna wear it) just to burn it and laugh maniacally. Muahahahahaha.. If I can't have it so can't u!!! =P

I'm still pissed. You stupid Vietnamese, die and rot in hell you thief!

When Was The Last Time...

Since, exams are drawing near, in about 3 weeks time. Won't be updating as regularly as before. So I came up with this.. err.. topic or thing to talk about entitled "When Was the Last Time You __________"

The blank can be filled up with anything and everything. It can range from studies to social life, sports, love life or whatever. So, for the next few posts I'll be blogging about this topic and let you guys have something to digest and think about during my absence. Not a bad idea eh? =D

First off is something I've been wondering about for a very very long time: BOOKS


Now now, before I go on, the books I'm talking about don't include textbooks, workbooks, guidebooks or whatever else reference books or things to do with studies. Got that?

On to the question.. When was the last time you read a book? As in.. ACTUALLY read a book and not just skim and zoom through the book or just reading the summary and flipping to the end of the book to find out the ending.

When was the last time you sat your ass down on a comfortable chair, in an air-conditioned room, a cup of hot tea and some biscuits, tidbits or snacks beside you and your reading glasses on. And just spend one whole day slowly enjoying a book. Flipping through the pages as the story unfolds and tickle your brain with a fictional fantasy.

From my own personal experience, it has been a very VERY long time since I last picked up a real book and actually read and finish it. I'm currently doing Macbeth for Literature now but that doesn't count so yeah. =S Why is it that I could read and re-read the Harry Potter series when I was younger, or just be able to finish any John Grisham novels in a matter of days or just read through any children's books without a bore just to pass time. And I can't seem to be able to do any of those things now!!! =\

Haiz.. These days, there just don't seem to be enough time for reading. Will always either be busy with schoolwork, computer, sports or anything else except reading!! The world today just doesn't seem to permit me to enjoy a simple book. =S How I miss those days when I could actually read and finish books. Sigh..

Well, that's all for the first chapter of "When Was The Last Time You _________" I'll be back with more updates sooner or later! Cheers. =D

Pictures of Them

Sorry for the delay, finally got my hands on the photos. Tada!! Here as promised are the photos from Fame 2008:

Fame 2008 Logo

Our 6 Finalists
Top row: Daryl, Wang Sen, Mick
Bottom row: Felisa, Jade, Janice

Introducing our top 6 finalists:

1. Wang Sen

A Chinaman who seems to specialize in songs by Blue. He sang BOTH "All Rise" & "Sorry Seems to Be The Hardest Word". Would've won Peggy's heart i think. Hahahaha.. Sadly, his performance was one that was barely bearable. =S

2. Mick

Mick's a Thai representing Victoria Hall. He sang Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" & "Can You Feel The Love Tonight". Gotta say it out loud, the first song was a terribly bad choice. Don't think any guy's able to sing that song. Need the womanly voice / pain and just the PMS kinda emotion to sing it. Think he almost screamed / shouted at the climax of the song. Lol.. However, he did surprsingly well for his second song. It was actually good! As seen by the appreciation of his fans from above. Hahaha..

3. Janice

Moving on, finally a decent performance! And surprise surprise! Guess who she is? She's none other than THE Janice that left Lodge School, Kuching at Form 1. Jason Pui's sister! Can't believe that this was how I met her in Singapore. It's a small world after all ain't it? Well, not saying that Singapore is any big. Lol. Anways...

Janice sang "Someone's Watching Over Me" & "Tangled Up In Me" From the pictures above, we can see that she did indeed dressed appropriately for both songs. Gotta say the second outfit was very Avril. Hahaha.. Well, she sang both songs well. Not much comments I hafta say about them, just job well done! and glad to finally meet you in person! =D

4. Jade

Next up is Jade, a Vietnamese from Hwa Chong Institution. First and foremost, her name's not exactly Jade but rather some long 4 worded Vietnamese name. Don't know it but think Jade suits her better anyway. Hahaha.. Her two songs were "Sometimes When We Touch" & "What If"

Jade's first song was.. WOW!!! It was mainly accapella because the guitar accompanying her didn't function properly until halfway through the song. So she most of the song just only using her voice and nothing else! And it was BEA-utiful! Omg.. Her voice was one of the best I've ever heard! As for the second song, err.. Don't know what to say as it was nothing compared to the first. So yeah. Lol.

5. Felisa


Felisa Felisa Felisa.. What can I say about her? Hmm.. Well, she's Indonesian. She's from Nanyang Girls Boarding School. And oh yeah, she sings dddaaammmnnn ffffrreeeeaaakkkkiiinnn''' ggggooooodddd!!! Not to mention she has superb tastes in clothes as well. XD

Anyways, Felisa sang "Colours of the Wind" & "If I Ain't Got You". As usual, nothing much to say about her first song, typical Disney songs. After you hear it once, or a couple of times, they all sound pretty much the same to you. But.. It was her second song that blew me & (I'm pretty sure) everyone away! Well all know that Alicia Key's "If I Ain't Got No You" is no easy song right? But.. She handled it magnificently and.. Can't believe I'm actually saying this, but she may even have sung it better than Alicia Keys herself!! I'm effin' serious. She was GOOOD. Hands down her second song beat everybody else's.

Felisa had the crowd all stirred up and running, especially the boys from ACS(I) Boarding School aka my hostel. =S Blood running mind you. Everybody was like rooting and cheering for her. It was one performance that you could die for. If I could watch her perform it live again? I would. [=

6. Daryl


Last but not least, the man of the night, the champ of ACS(I), every boarders' hero.. Give it up for Daryl!!!! *crowd cheers on their feet* Alright.. From that bombastic intro, guess you can already guess which boarding school Daryl's from eh? Well, FYI he's Malaysian!! A Sabahan. So one more for Malaysia! Woot!

Anyways, Daryl sang "Back At One" & "Angels Brought Me Here". His first song, which he sang for the Boarding Superstar (internal competition in ACS Boarding School) was as great as usual. Hit all the notes perfectly and performed it well. Second song was where all the kinks and glithces kicked in. Made some pitching mistakes, couldn't reach some notes.. Yadiyadiyada.. So yeah, second song wasn't that good. But still, he had the whole hostel backing him up!! Not to mention the number of fans he gathered after his one night of FAME. Hahaha..

Oh, if anyone think I'm being biased or anything. Honestly, I'm just telling the truth. Daryl's "Back At One" was perfect as usual. "Angels Brought Me Here"... so so lah. Good but not that good. Could've done a hell lot better loh!! Simply put. [=

Results:

The votes were in and counted. The drums were rolled. The crowd cheered their lungs out and screamed their hearts out. Everybody sweated nervously as the results were being declared... AND!!! Wang Sen, Mick & Janice didn't make it to the top 3.

Jade took the 3rd place. Leaving Daryl and Felisa to fight it out among themselves. After some tense moments, the results were announced.. And Felisa was crowned the champion of FAME 2008!!!

Well, too bad for Daryl. What can we say? He tried his best, and we boarders, as his loyal friends and supporters did our best by voting for him too. All I can say is, better luck next year. [=

Now.. To get my hands on the video clips of them singing. Hmm.. Wonder how am I suppose to do that? Lol..

Pain in the ass. Literally.

It was raining.
My idiot friend and retarded me played basketball.
He missed a shot.
I ran after the ball.
Slipped, fell on my ass and cracked it open.
Pants were ripped.
Can't walk properly.
Wish I had a cushion / massager to sit on. =\
Oh and, PE test's next week!
DiE... X_X
