American Idol Season 7
I didn't catch American Idol season 5, the season where Taylor Hicks won. American Idol season 6 to me was ridiculous and highly boring. I decided to give American Idol season 7 a chance and i must say it's a lot better than season 6! I have a few favourites, and as usual, my favourites are dominated by girls haha. I really think that the girls are better singers than the guys though their performances so far haven't been as good as the guys.
Brook - definitely my favourite right now, especially after her rendition of "You're So Vain". I liked that song ever since I heard it on "How to Lose a guy in 10 Days" and Brook sang it really well that night. I think I also like her cos she reminds me of Kate Hudson and my a project friend of mine from school
Ramiele: really cute and adorable girl but when she opens her mouth to sing, WOOOOW, it's amazing! Can win this but she definitely needs more character
Carly: she was an early favourite of mine ever since I saw her during the audition round. I gotta admit the first thing that got my attention was the fact that she's Irish hohohoho. But she can definitely sing, just not sure how far she can go cos she can get quite boring
Alaina: reminded me sooo much of Carrie Underwood! I love her performance of Love You More Tomorrow but unfortunately, she got voted out yesterday, boooo.
David: welllll, a definite Top 12 contestant, extremely high possibility of being in the Top3 if he keeps up with these amazing performances and if he doesn't irritate or bore the hell out of the audience.
Oh by the way, HAPPY LEAP YEAR!!
Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites, episode 3
aahhh crap, i can't believe yau man got voted off!!! my hopes were raised a little when ozzy and james insisted that they didn't want to vote yau man off cos he was an asset to the group as compared to eliza. but unfortunately, and most pissifying-ly, queen bee cirie got her wish and poor yau man got voted out, sigh. i knew yau man went into this with a huuuge target behind his back but i didnt expect him to be gone so soon! major boooo to cirie.
Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites, episode 2
Ok in this episode, we got to see more of the fans.. and maybe because of that, I found this episode rather boring haha! I found myself wanting to see more of the favourites. The whole hoo-haa over two separate shelters within the fans' tribe was just ridiculous, almost bored me to death.
And because I'm rooting for Yau Man and am not really a fan of Parvati, Amanda and James, I really hope Cirie will go ahead with the Yau Man-Jonathan-Eliza-Ami alliance. But of course in the sneak preview of next week's episode, we see Cirie trying to suss out which alliance would work better for her. Please please please, go with Yau!
So Mary was voted out after a really weird strategy played by.. I can't remember his name, Joel? They should have just voted out the weakest link, Chet, especially after his horrible attempt during immunity challenge. But who cares, a possible dumb mistake made by the fans, all the better for the favourites ;)
stars
Started watching the last few episodes of 王子变青蛙 cos i was procrastinating and didn't want to start on my schoolwork. Anyway, there was this line that junhao said to tianyu when she was in coma and it's really beautiful and sweet.
自从你睡着以后
天上的星星就少了很多
我想。。。
它们一定都跑到你梦里去了吧
Somehow it reminded me of this particular quote in Romeo and Juliet, maybe because of the similar usage of imagery of stars.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return
Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites, episode 1
***Spoilers ahead***
Wahahahahahha guess what's back! It's survivor, season 16!
16!! My goodness, that's a lot of seasons for a reality tv show.. and that's like close to 300 contestants!
Anyway, I believe this is gonna be a great season! Can't wait for the drama to unfold as we watch the fans of survivor pit themselves against the infamous favourite contestants from the past seasons. I was almost jumping in my seat throughout the show haha. The first episode felt like a Survivor All-stars season though cos my focus was on the past contestants and I barely cared about the new contestants haha! Hopefully that'll change soon.
I'm glad Yau Man's back! I was rooting for him throughout Survivor Fiji and was majorly upset when Dreamz betrayed him which led to Yau Man being voted out. Unfortunately, I don't think Yau can win this season cos everyone knows he's a favourite and would definitely wanna vote him out instead of taking him to the final tribal council. In fact, I really wonder if any of the favourites can actually win this game.. I think they'll be taken out one by one by the fans. But who knows, it's Suvivor, any thing can happen!
Yaaayy I'm glad Ozzy's back too. Survivor Cook Islands was definitely one of my favourite seasons (favouritest perhaps?) and I was rooting for him and Yul. It's amazing how fit Ozzy is but I believe he's gonna be out pretty soon cos he's a huge threat when it comes to immunity challenges + his blossoming relationship with Amanda, very dangerous!
Ok I'm glad he got voted out. Enough said!
Nothing much to say about her, just wanted to comment on how she looks haha! She has put on so much weight!! My goodness, I couldn't recognise her until I saw Amanda under her picture.
PayPerPost
For those who have been reading, you should know that I've been saving up money for my UK trip in May/June. So Josh recommended me this website,
PayPerPost (PPP) where I can earn money while blogging! That's damn cool! It's great because bloggers are able to earn some revenue at the comfort of their own time as they can post whenever they want to. Not only that, they get to choose what they wanna blog about so you won't end up blogging about something you're totally uninterested in.
I've been looking around the website and it's really user friendly. The front page even lists some of the top earners from this website - the current top earner earns $18,934.73!! My goodneeeesssss, that's A LOT! Some of the opportunities allow you to make a video instead of writing an entry and I think that's really interesting. Hopefully I'll get to try that one day!
So if you're interested, you should sign up for it and earn some extra cash while blogging! For those techno-phobic, no worries cos PayPerPost is really user-friendly with detailed steps as to how to sign up, register your blog etc. If step-by-step instructions via text is too tedious for you, no worries cos they have uploaded videos where they show you how to set up everything! Amazing! So what are you waiting for?
Get paid to blog!
CNY
looooong weekend coming up cos it's CNY! i personally don't really like CNY cos of all the travelling around, under the hot terrible sun or treacherous downpour (it differs from year to year, i can't quite decide if i prefer the sun or the rain) and all the small talk you have to make with relatives you only see once a year. the only good thing is of course, the red packets! wahahaha how materialistic of me. but this money is definitely gonna come into good use because i'm going to london/leeds in may-june! how exciting! besides exploring uk, we might take a trip down to either paris or a city in germany.. berlin perhaps? can't wait! but meanwhile, i really have to save loads of money so i can enjoy myself there.
