Where is the SPARK?

A too normal opening for the semi-finals for American Idol Season 9, to me. I follow 8tv's AI which is delayed by one day therefore so far I've only watched the girls' performance.

When the judges and Ryan said that this is the season with the most talent and it's the girls' year, i seriously doubt if the girls really of the IT factor. Like most people have said, they have problems with picking the right songs and the rights songs are really important to show how great of a singer and most importantly a performer they are. Star quality is equally crucial at the same time because knowing how to sing in pitch isn't really what AI is looking for anymore. The lack of stardom among the girls this year is really a big disappointment to me. Even some of the early favourites like Katie Stevens are not doing as good as expected. No one wowed me. However i must say a few girls really know who they are as a performer such as Lilly Scott and Didi Benami! Love them both! Lilly's jazzy performance is captivating in my notion because it's refreshing and unique, which i think is what should be brought to this show at this stage. I just love looking at Didi singing, she is so sincere and she is so connected to the songs that she sings. She reminds me of Brooke White except i think that she is even better! One of my early favourites apparently didn't do so well, to my sadness - Janell Wheeler. Well i have to be honest, i am drawn to her in the first place mostly due to her looks than her voice. Hehe. But then she proved that she can sing when she sang American Boy during Hollywood Week. She just has to choose the right songs. I really hope she stays longer in the show. I think many people would like Katie but she is kinda a common and cliche singer. Typical big voice and diva-like singer who can sing the phone book, not so unique anymore, don't you agree? I guess after watching AI for so many years, especially after last year, my taste has changed so much in the sense that i no longer look for decent singers. Adam Lambert has definitely changed the standard.

And, no hope for the guys i think. Hehe.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Dad is finally 55 years old. He is officially a retiree! :(

Dad, wish you healthy, wealthy and happy all the time! :)

Hello to all :D

Back from kampung!

At father's kampung, I realised that i can now hold out longer before passing out after drinking beer, i am quite good at gambling, i eat less during a meal, i eat more frequently, i really like mandarin oranges and i like ice cream!

At mother's kampung, i realised my love for animals, specifically dogs, i found out that my cousin's dog is named Jonnie, my another cousin gave birth to another cute baby boy and i can sleep 6 times a day.

So basically nothing happened :D

But right now i am really REALLY addicted to the prettiest top 24 finalist from American Idol, JANELL WHEELER! Not only does she look pretty, she has a really attractive voice too! LOOK OUT FOR HER! :D

And i think my belly expanded. :(

Happy Chinese New Year

I do not think that i will get access to internet in the next few days so there you have it, Happy Chinese New Year to all of you out there, my friends, seniors, juniors, relatives, everyone whom i know. May the year of tiger and tigress brings you an even better luck than the previous one. And to the skuad kawad, WORK HARD, BEAT THE OTHERS AND BEAT YOURSELF TO BE THE WINNER! :D Anyway i heard that KaHou is very fierce one, is it true? Haha! Okay bye!

Mama Mia~

I think I am capable of many great things. Many great, insignificant things. Like, cooking. :D I have no idea why but I am the one preparing dinner for my family recently. It is not that bad but if someone ask me to prepare dinner, there is one part which i dislike A LOT, that is GETTING THE GROCERIES. I really don't like to go to the market because it is stuffy and there are many people and awful smell which i can still bear but the main problem is to buy, for example, meat, i have to know what kind of meat i want and which part and with or without fat and with or without skin and all crap and it is very troublous! But other than that i am okay i guess. I'm a good cook, you can ask my family. But i think, I THINK, i cook a little bit unhealthily because i put more salt and soya sauce compared to my mom but HEY at least it is tasty! But i should start controlling myself with the amount of salt and sauce i put into the dishes before i bring hazards to my family's health. Wow life must be pretty interesting for me to blog about cooking. -.- Well as a matter of fact, i do have many stuffs undone right now, seeing that CNY is around the corner. CNY is around the corner babeh! Time to increase my savings again! Hooray for that! And i shall be freer after CNY and i shall have more time for THINGS! SO looking forward to these times! Anyway i think FlyFm does not like me because it does not pick up my calls :( And 8tv too! Few weeks ago they were giving away Lambert's debut album and i called and called and called the whole week but none of my calls got through so no Lambert's album for me! :( That's a huge bummer man. :( :( :( Free time's over, time to get back to business.

Ps. No idea why but i really like this photo. Not that anything inside belongs to me anyway.


Till then.
