It won't be soon before long

I am digging Maroon 5's latest song, "Makes me wonder." It infuses with a bit of 80s eletronica sound yet it has got a modern feel to it. I love the video, the lead, his hairstyle and his very Tom Ford-ish get up. Cool much.

American Idol is getting a little bit more interesting than the previous 2 seasons. Thank God for Melinda Doolittle, and the boys - Chris and Blake. I find Ryan Seacrest darn irritating, tho. And my prediction (after Stephanie Edward got cut) is (still) Melinda Doolittle.

As The Amazing Race All Star is nearing to it's final leg, I would like to see either the Beauty Queens or the Drama Queens (C&M) to win. Not my favourite teams but to be fair, they worked really hard so far.

Ok, guys. Complete this sentence for me: -


It won't be soon before long...


We'll exchange answers soon ;)

American Idiot

A friend dropped in to say hi 2 days ago and we spoke about food and Stir Fried Crab with Salted Egg. I asked her if there is such a dish and she replied with a resounding YES and, "it's delicious!" followed by two thumbs up.

Never in my life have I ever heard of Stir Fried Crab with Salted Egg so, I asked my boss and she replied with a resounding YES followed by "oh you so making me fat!!".

I am dead curious by then. I asked Ad in the evening (still not convince that I am the last person on earth who has not heard of such dish). His replied was not as exciting as the girls cos he doesnt like crab. Still, I want to try so last night he suggested this place, King Crab, near our house and ordered exactly that and a lot of other dishes for ahem, two persons. While enjoyin' my King Crab, I received an sms from Dodgy Gaby.

DG: You out in America idiot.

Fumbling between two oily hands, a tissue and the buttons on my mobile phone, I replied:

Me: What the FUCK are you talking about? (You see, we are best of friends and we like to use vulgarities to constantly give us the assurance of our masculinity)

DG: American Idol who was kick out please tell me urgent.

Me: FUCK! I tot wat you so rude! Melinda Doolittle...Sigh

DG: Wow i read back the sms damn funny

Me: And RUdE!

DG: Wrongly wrote sorry that, indian guy should have left soon he be the most hated guy soon

Me: My theory is that his father has connection with all the Indians living in America and asked all of them to vote for his son. And, he would pay USD50 for all his workers to continue sms until the voting is close. Hence, he is still in.

DG: I also say the producer are keeping him too, cos of the rating

Me: ANYWAYS, since when do you follow American Idol, you wuss! (You see, he thinks American Idol is a bloody stupid show. His theory was ... nevermind. But, he thinks it's for lame people.)

DG: Brother watch it so cought on to me.

ME: Ha! Loser! :)

As soon as I'm done with my silly series of smses with Dodgy Gaby, Ad announced to me that the bottom two was Chris Richardson and Stephanie Edwards. Of cos, Melinda Doolittle is still in the competition, looking prettier than ever (the latter was cut instead). It was shocking cos I like her and she definitely does not deserve to be cut. Not so soon.

Damn American idiot.

PS: I really enjoyed the Stir Fried Salty Egg Crab. It was so delicious that I was a little giddy after having had a few claws :p

I'm so gonna watch Pan's Labyrinth this Sat. I'm gonna make Ad watch it :p / 300 was crazy good. Very artistic and every scene is poster-worthy / Amazing Race Asia 2 audition is on! And I haven't got any ideas how to do the video hmmm......

Idol

I almost cringed watchin' ex-Idol, Jennifer Hudson belting out the first song, "Move", of the 3 songs nominated at the Oscar from the movie, 'Dream Girls' last night. It was not that she wasn't good, she rocked it. But I was preparing for the worse cos you know, it WAS the Oscar we're talking about and a bit of a flaw will be deemed embarassing, to say the least. Flaw there was none. No, wait. There was. One of the 'cup' that holds her massive titties was showing. That was quite odd, I thought. But, it was a jiggling good performance *grin* And, Beyonce was equally powerful with her rendition of 'Listen'. She had to, I suppose, cos inevitably people will compare her performance with Hudson. She was singing against Hudson, not Mandy Moore or Jessica Simpson.

Still. I was disappointed Babel did not win for Best Movie. And, Brad Pitt did not show up for the Oscar. Tho' Gael Garcia did looking superfine.

Oscar aside. Tomorrow will be another round of singing competition with the remaining 10 male contestants and 10 female contestants the night after vying for the top spot as the next American Idol. It is obvious at this point that the girls are much, much better than the boys. The boys came out and sung some of the really borring songs if not tacky performance last week whilst the girls. They just did their thing and wowed everyone including the judges.

If anything, 8 girls should be in the final 12. If I could choose, I would pick my final 12 as...

1. Brandon Rogers
2. Chris Sligh
3. Jared Cotter
4. Jordin Sparks
5. Lakisha Jones*
6. Melinda Doolittle*
7. Chris Richardson
8. Sabrina Sloans*
9. Stephanie Edwards*
10. Phil Stacey
11. Nicholas Pedro
12. Blake Lewis*

I have a lot of favorites (*) and I hate to see them getting cut. Well, they could become the next Hudson *shrugs*
