I thought I would forget you but I guess I forgot to.

Okay… its been a long time since I’ve written in what has been happening in my life right now… you know… with exams and all… so basically my life had been like hell before exams… you know… studying and everything… studying was… well… lets just say… it was hell… I mean… who can resist great TV shows eh? Haha… there were American Idol (which I will be commenting on later… which will lead to Singapore Idol as well)… The Next America’s Top Model (whom we all should know by now that “the monotonous voice cum tomboy” Adrianne was the one who was the winner)… Eye For A Guy (which I will be talking about later on in this entry… a lot to comment on)… Smallville (nothing to comment on… haha)… The OC (wanted to comment something about Seth… hehe… wink wink)… Survivor All-Stars (I have a lot to comment on as well)… The Malay Emmys (Pesta Perdana… hmm… they have a new category… I am going to comment on it)… The Real Beckham… and the very infamous Rebecca Loos… and my favourite soccer team in the whole world… Liverpool (something about the Thai PM)… hmm… by the look of it… the critic Siti is in the house… watch out you other critics out there… bwahahahahahahahaha…

First of all… before I start becoming the critic… for those who want to know how was my exam… well… how do I put this into words eh? Hmm… lets see… some sux… some doesn’t… haha… what modules sux… well… lets see… we have hrm… then ief… why hrm? I was stumped on one of the questions… so basically that sux… ief because I felt cheated… there’s no calculations… that sux… I know my theories… but still… I have no idea how to apply it… so that’s a problem… what modules doesn’t sux… well… we have blaw, cma and fmgt… blaw is half-sux half-not… because you see… I know how to do the whole thingy… but then came the sucky thing… I forgot to bring my sweater… and the hall was freezing… and I was so cold… that led to me writing very slow… so in turn it led to me not finishing the last question… so that sux… cma doesn’t sux… I remember the formulae and everything… so that doesn’t sux… fmgt was a breeze… just that I have liquid paper all over the pages… because I have this problem that I think faster than I write… so you guys get the whole idea…

After exams ended… I felt that a huge burden has been lifted off my small shoulders… haha… just kidding… haha… I mean the small shoulders part… hehe… at last… no more school… no more waking up early in the morning… no more classes… no more lectures… no more tutorials… but I am going to miss my pals… they are great bunch of people you know… we are going our separate ways… kinda… in third year… there will no more be TB01 of 2002-2004… I will be seeing new people in class… the most ironic thing that I will miss them about is the way we sit in the exam hall… okay… that’s weird but true… for two years… I know exactly who sits where… but hopefully… when we see each other along the way in school… we would stop and say hi and everything… you know… hang out and stuff… my worst fear is that we would end up acting like strangers… like that doesn’t happen now… but that’s a different story… I mean… now we see each other often because we are in the same class and everything… so acting like strangers outside is not a bad thing… although its not good too… but its not bad… you know what I mean… I just don’t want that to happen in third year… anyway… just wanna say that TB01 of 2002-2004 rocks… haha…

So what am I going to do during the holidays? Well… lets see… stay at home and catch up with all the VCDs that my mom brought home… great timing mom… haha… she’s giving me ten bucks a week… for nothing… strange huh… somehow she has lighten up a bit… when I say I wanna go somewhere… like town with my friends… she’s fine with it… strange huh… I guess she knows that I am turning 20 soon like in a month time… so she’s giving me the green light… well… she has to… since I’ve been spending my time at home helping her with the household chores… the house is spick and span right now… all because her neat-freak daughter is doing the work… the daughter who doesn’t want to see a single dust around the house… haha… I have this sensitive nose… if there’s a dust I will be sneezing non-stop… haha… however… I am so not going to coop up at home of course… I am going out to watch movies… hey… there are nice movies coming to town… so I wanna check it out… I am thinking of watching Troy… Perfect 10 gave it 5 out of 5… so it should be good… either that or because there are a lot of scenes with Brad Pitt butt-naked that makes Jean Danker gave it a full rating… well… I just have to find out… there’s also Laws of Attraction coming out… I don’t know how the rating will go… but I saw the trailer… it looks funny… then there’s Van Hielsing… some say it’s good… some say it’s not… but if it’s not… then why is it at the top of the box-office charts? Hmm… but don’t know if my best friend wants to watch half-horror, half-action movie… I don’t mind the vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein… they are cool… haha… and I am strange… haha… then my long-awaited Shrek 2… my hero… haha… just kidding… so basically there are great movies… so I wanna make time for them…

Okay… now it’s time for the critic Siti to come out and play… ???... haha…

First is American Idol… lets see… John Stevens got kicked in the ass at the wrong time… because the week after that was Big Band week… what a great timing America has… oh wait… no they don’t… and I don’t wanna go politics now… haha… by the way… I cried when John Stevens was butt-kicked… I actually cried… so this has proven that I am positively weird… haha… then it was George Huff’s turn to get his ass kicked… I mean… among the last five… his performance was not the best… and I guess he knew… and now there’s the top four… Jasmine, Latoya, Fantasia and Diana… among the four… Jasmine’s performance was not the best… she chose the wrong songs… but then again… how do you know which song is good for you or not? The whole thing is that you have to know which song is good for you… and the good songs are not necessarily your favourite songs… the good songs are songs that compliment your voice… Diana certainly chose the best songs for her… I like her second performance… the song is great… I honestly have to say that Diana was not my favourite initially… but now… I feel that she’s the dark horse in this competition… we know that either Latoya or Fantasia will make it all the way… but Diana… she could surprise people… so you won’t know… anyway… even though Jasmine’s performance was not good… it was a little cruel for Simon to make her cry… we all know that Jasmine’s performance was not the best… but still… that was bad… and she knew she was going to pack her bags and go back to Hawaii… but at this stage of the competition… everyone is a winner… but she’s still 16… she has a long way to go… she can slowly learn to control her voice and stuff… she could make it big in the singing industry… so she has nothing to worry… my vote for the top three was Diana, Latoya and Fantasia… Diana being the dark horse in the competition… Latoya being the most consistent singer… Fantasia being the diva… but boy oh boy… that didn’t happen… Latoya was out of the competition… shockingly… I was shocked when Fantasia and Latoya was at the bottom two… but when Ryan announced that Latoya was out of the competition… I was more shocked… my sentiments are true after all… Americans are born deaf… just like the government… and now the top three is Diana, Fantasia and the most unlikely one, Jasmine… my advice to Jasmine would be… she better hang on to her seats… she’s gonna get criticized bad just like John Stevens the last time who said that he was relieved that he was out of the competition… media can be very cruel… so she better hang on to her seats… and this also proven one thing… the racism against African Americans are not over… it looks like it was over… but it isn’t… and American Idol, among all things, proven just that… but as what Simon says… whatever the vote may be, America has to live with it… and right now, America has to live with the fact that they had voted Latoya out of the competition…

As an avid American Idol viewer… and someone who will cry her heart off if she misses one episode of American Idol… that’s me… haha… anyway… I am waiting for Singapore Idol… although I was surprised that the producers chose Gurmit Singh as the host… I don’t doubt Gurmit’s talent as a host… he’s really versatile, experienced and has great exposure in this area… but I was still surprised as the media has speculated that Daniel Ong would get the part… if he does… that would be his big break… but I guess… it was not meant to be… my comment is that I don’t know how Gurmit’s gonna host the show… just that I thought that Daniel is the better choice as he’s a new face and he’s so much more in common with Ryan Seacrest… in a way… Ryan is new, crappy, funny, and a deejay… so I thought that it would be Daniel… so it came as a surprise that the producers use Gurmit… my cousin said that the producers use Gurmit to get in the ratings… but I don’t see the logic in that… as a viewer of American Idol… I guess that people watch because of the contestants and maybe Simon… people don’t watch because of Ryan… they are not going to vote for Ryan… they are going to vote for the contestants… my thought was that Gurmit is like a shoe… if you wear your shoes too often… its gonna wear off… same with Gurmit… you see him too much on TV… you’ll get tired of him… his jokes will start to wear off on you and you start to think of them as lame… but still… I wanna give Gurmit the benefit of the doubt to show that he can do this job well… I don’t know if I heard wrongly… but I heard that the producers doesn’t want someone like Simon… hmm… my advice to the producer if they were to do a survey with the public… I would say that’s not a good idea… people want someone like Najip Ali… an all-round great entertainer and I could imagine him as Simon… who is forthright about his views… who is not afraid to say what’s on his mind… Kumar is not a bad idea… although he’s an entertainer, he’s not a singer… but he’s somewhat like Najip… very straight-forward… Anita Sarawak is also not a bad idea… she’s the diva of Singapore… Glenn Ong is also not bad… he’s up-front and not forgetting a deejay… so he knows what viewers want from a singer… he could represent the point-of-view of the public… they are my choices for the judges… the thing that bugs me would be the contestants… as you all know by now… it’s Singapore Idol… not Singaporean Idol… and that’s because it’s open not just for our fellow Singaporeans and permanent residents… its also open for people outside the nation… the thing that bugs me is that… the winner might be a foreigner… I am not doubting Singaporeans’ talents… we have come up with some great singers… Stephanie Sun, the new Singaporean singer who won the Chinese award thingy and of course, Anita Sarawak… but I have to admit that foreigners are better than Singaporeans… fingers-crossed… hopefully the winner is a Singaporean…

I think The Next America’s Top Model… if I were to be truly honest… it’s bull… I mean… Adrianne is the winner… and she’s totally good at this… but I thought that the outcome for the winner should be being a top model… that’s what the whole show was about right? So how come that doesn’t happen to Adrianne? How come Elise and Robin are the ones who got to do the catwalks… but not Adrianne… sheesh… they shouldn’t have call it The Next America’s Top Model in the first place…

The reunion episode of Eye For A Guy was a shocker… if you have no idea what happened… well… lets just say that Sivert got dumped… or cheated… or betrayed… or whichever way you see it… Sivert was chosen by Rachel in the last episode to go to Paris with her because as what she claimed… Sivert is a safe option… however, in the end, she dated Mark… even though Sivert knew that Mark is going after Rachel… still, Sivert plays by the rule all along… and I felt as if he got betrayed because in the end he’s the big loser since Rachel dated Mark… the question is… why didn’t Rachel chose Mark in the first place? Her reason was that she thought that Mark is not sincere about her… my other question is… does Mark look like a guy who would cheat her just to go to Paris? She’s either blind or… wait… there’s no option… she is blind… Mark is a Princeton graduate… Princeton is an elite school… God knows how much is the school fees… he could go to Paris anytime he wants… why should he join a game just to go to Paris? I agree that rules are meant to be broken… but Sivert turns out to be a poor guy after all… he has been following the rules through and through… and now he’s going to Paris with Mark and Rachel… and as what he had said in the New Paper… he would be the biggest lamppost in Paris… never mind Sivert… you’ll be a cute lamppost…

Like American Idol… I wouldn’t miss The OC for the world… it’s a great show… I know most girls swoon over Ryan… but I thought Seth is the cutest… I don’t know why but I find his sense of humour cute… haha… I am weird… but like what the Morning Madness duo said… 100% of girls polled by them ranked sense of humour first before six-packs… and I like guys with sense of humour… I like Sam from Lord of the Rings instead of Frodo… so it’s proven that I dig guys with sense of humour…

Survivor All-Stars has ended… with a twist… Survivor, as always, has never failed to present to us all sorts of controversies… but that’s not the twist… haha… the ending comes with wedding bells ringing somewhere over the rainbow… Boston Rob proposed to Amber on live TV… well… in America, at least… but still, he proposed to her with millions of people watching… that’s romantic… with all sorts of controversies going on… it’s still romantic… haha… what kind of controversies am I talking about? Well… Rob jeopardized his friendship with Katie… and so was he with Big Tom… it’s too bad that people can do all sorts of thing just to get a million dollars… even though friendship is worth more than money… it’s priceless… but we can learn something from this… this show portrays the true colours of human beings… the bad side of humans… anyway… the other twist to the ending was CBS gave out another million dollars… this time, the viewers vote for who they think should have the million dollars… it could be Amber again, or Boston Rob, or the crowd favourite, Rupert… my vote was Rupert… he deserved the money… he went to two Survivors straight… leaving his wife and daughter… even though he knew he shouldn’t leave them as he had left them for 39 days before… so Rupert should get the vote… but I don’t know if the result will be the same as American Idol… like I said earlier, Americans are deaf… this time they could be blind… if that happens, I have another sentiment, they might as well be handicapped… but then I guess they didn’t give me a chance to criticize them more because they vote for Rupert… he won the million dollars… Congrats to him!

The Malay Emmys called Pesta Perdana does not lack the news either… the producers, or whoever who create the award show, came up with a new category called the Most Memorable Commercial… strange huh? What has commercials got to do with an award show that acknowledges actors and actresses? They should come up with a more appropriate category… like Best Newcomer for an Actor, Best Newcomer for an Actress, Best Director, Best Writer, etc… they should come up with a category that not only commemorates those working in front of the camera, but those behind the scenes as well… like those doing technical stuff… they worked so hard to give us the best dramas and shows… at the very least, we should honour these talents… but no, the people making this award show just want to give out inappropriate awards… I understand that the market is not big enough for any competition… but what about the newcomers category… it should be opened up to acknowledge those new actors and actresses… give them some hope that they could make it happen, that they could make a difference in the local Malay industry… and in this year’s Pesta Perdana… it seems that there are a lot more hunky guys around… haha… we have Eizlan Yusoff (oh so gorgeous!), Steve Emmanuel (20-year-old hunk from I-don’t-know-which-planet-he-comes-from… he suddenly appears out of nowhere), Hadi Putra (my loverboy… haha… well… the camera didn’t show him but he’s nominated… so who cares… haha)… so basically, Aaron Aziz lost his spotlight… and I can honestly say that Jorah Ahmad is definitely not my favourite… I respected her for being a veteran actress… hats off to her for her great acting skills… but she talks too much… she makes me go to sleep… when she talks, I can go to the bathroom, take a bath, come out of the bathroom, wear my clothes, and she still wouldn’t finish… so long-winded… at least I am not as long-winded as her… she makes me go to sleep…

The Real Beckham is Victoria Beckham… why? Because during the whole 1-hour show, Victoria seems to do all the talking… it’s either because she talks too much or because David has such a high-pitched voice that she had to talk a lot to hide the high-pitched voice of her husband… but I find Romeo so cute… he keeps on running everywhere and wanting his dad to carry him… he’s so adorable… he’s my favourite Beckham… hehe…

Last but not least, the very infamous Rebecca Loos… do I want to believe what she has claimed? Well… I don’t know what to believe… David Beckham is not my favourite… but I felt as if he’s the victim… I mean… so what if they did have an affair… Rebecca doesn’t have to tell it to the whole world about what happened… and because of that, she makes me doubt her allegations… if by doing what she did, she thought she could take revenge… she’s not… she’s not helping herself… because of this, she makes the public think of her as cheap… making her allegations just to get the money… she might like what the tabloids are saying and all the money that she got… but tabloids are tabloids… they are after all this kiss-and-tell stories… because it would make the people buy them and read… they get the profit from there definitely…

We’ll never walk alone… sure, Liverpool will never walk alone… but somehow something is bothering me… media has been talking about the Thai PM bidding for Liverpool… and now we know that Liverpool-born Steve Morgan is out of the game… and now the fans are complaining… I don’t blame them… Liverpool has always done things by themselves… meaning home-grown talents… look at Ian Rush, Gerard Houllier, the management team… everyone is home-grown… so with Thai PM, it will change the whole thing… in my opinion, it’s a good and a bad thing… I mean, the money will help us buy players that will help Liverpool to compete against Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U in the next season… and hopefully will help us in the Champions League as well… as the fourth place is definitely confirmed already since Newcastle draw against Southampton recently… but it’s a bad thing as it somehow breaks the Liverpool tradition… and it is definitely not a good thing when the local fans, as in those in Liverpool, are not happy about the whole thing… but as long as they use the money to buy good players… I am not complaining… just hope that with the money, we can be a better team next season… so good luck to Liverpool FC… hope them for the best… and they will surely rock the house down against Newcastle… by looking at Newcastle’s form recently… Liverpool is sure to either draw or win the game… finger-crossed…

So that’s all I got to say… till my next critic entries… see ya…
