Geez. Just read one of my fellow-fellow-blog mates' entry. What he said is quite true actually lah. He's actually discussing about typical Singaporeans. Like any usual thing, I guess among all people around me, only less than 15% actually voted for the Singapore Idol weekly. They watched, they give comments, they criticize after each performances. But they DON'T VOTE (of course those under 18 can understand. They have to seek parents consent), even if they have any favourites inside.
They will hope that their favourite one would get into the next round. But they never vote. They rely on others fans to do the job. Duh!
Then when their favourite contestant is out, they go on complaining and ranting, blaming it all on the other weaker contestant who manage to get into the next round. But hey, how can you blame the other party if you yourself didn't make an effort to do your part?
Some think their vote doesn't matters so they didn't vote. But if everyone thinks like that, it'd be bad. Isn't it? Then others will find excuses saying they don't know their favourite contestant's number so they cannot vote. Problem is, if you don't know, have you even bother to check it out or ask around?
Then they proceed to complaining the 50 cents per vote thingy is unfair and only in favor for those rich ones. They complained that 50 cents is expensive. But then weird thing is, they can afford a meal at Mac Donald's (which is 100 times more than 50 cents). They rant that this competition is only for those contestants who are rich. They complain, complain and make more complains about how the voting system sucks (though I think it is). But then, they NEVER pick up their phone to call or even make the slightest effort to vote.
Every vote counts. Even if it is just one.
For me, I guess even if my favourite one is out. I have the rights to complain and swear unlike those who didn't sms or call. Because I did vote for him. I'm not like sitting back, commenting on the show, don't vote, then complain like shit when he gets eliminated. Just like those who voted, I guess they also have the rights to make comments about the results.
Just to share, I mentioned in my blog last night that initially Sly is in the 4th before the results are out. The news spread to all Sly fans. They panicked and quickly make more votes just about one hour before the phone lines are closed. In the end, Sly is safe. Man, my sis's friend was at the results show last night. The whole row of Sly fans were crying madly when Daph and Sly were the ones left standing.
Close shave man. Daph lose to him only by 154 votes.

Wah!!
About 2 hours before the results show tonight, I recieved inside info from a Sly fan that currently, Sly had the lowest number of votes. Lost to the contestant in the 3rd place by 500 votes. ARH!!
I was like, whether to believe or not since that person who gave the information works for mediacorp. But I guess soon, all sly fans from the fanclub voted fiercely for him - For fear that this might be a nightmare come true.
It scares the shit out of me and my sis.
Its just so unjust if he gets the boot cos his rendition of 'An Jing' is really beautiful and moving.
Man, results night was so so so so bloody freaking!! But I guess last minute sly fans manage to save him. I wasn't looking at the screen when Gurmit was annoucing the last safe person. My sis even funnier.. lol.. she scampered to her room, mumbling:"Arh! I don't want to watch this part!"
I'm not pinning high hopes that he would be in final 2. Who knows? He might be out next weel.

Sometimes it is so tough and painful clinging onto something.
But for some reasons, you are just unwilling to let go. You might be telling yourself that once you find the courage and let go of things that aren't meant to be, you would feel free. But the truth is, things often don't go that way. You realise you're decieving yourself. You would still feel equal torment even if you let go.
Perhaps that explains why many people are reluctant to let go of things that aren't meant for them. They rather hang onto it and suffer the hurt.
Fact is, you wish you would feel better if you let go. But things never turn out how you wished it would have. Confused, you allow yourself to hang onto that something and let it make you even more lost.
I think this is the way human beings response to situations where they are in the zone of uncertainty. You rather cling onto that something than let it go.
Because in your mind, you have the thought --
"I might have gained nothing by not letting it go. But if I let it go, I would be left with nothing."

I love Sly's rendition of An Jing.
So touching and sentimental. Nearly moved me to tears. He sang it better than Jay.
I guess that must have make up for more than his first performance which was weaker.
Rock on!!

Everyone IGNORES me.
Sis says I'm stubborn.
I asked my Mom something but she didn't respond.
WAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
This is Shit.
And my friendster testimonials are all MISSING. Sobs.
I don't like how things are like now.
I want to run away.
I wish I could get to a place where no one knows me.
I miss being alone. I wish no one ever comes and bothers me or even steps in.
I'm an extra in the whole family that my existence isn't important to anyone. Even she says I'm 'Ke Lian'.
In a house of 4, I'm the only nocturnal human alive. Perhaps I belonged to the Bats family instead of here.
I make no difference from an empty vessel for whatever I said, people treat it like shit.
Maybe I'm really not suitable to stay here.
I don't belong here.
Perhaps I should leave but where can I go?
Maybe I'm an adopted.
That explains why I'm so like an extra. And I'm so tragically different.

Joyce, Siew wen and I were chatting in the MSN. We have set up a thread called -- Funny moments in LYSS. Results are as follows after a hilarious recap of the sec school days. :
1. We locked Celine up in the class. Then when Mr Bobby came we all chao. Left her all alone, bursting out like one siao charbo, only to find herself face to face with the stern teacher. :)
2. We brought durian crackers to class and the smell distributed itself across the whole room during English lesson. Many turned and looked at us. I said - 'Celine farted.'
3.Shirley brought an alarm clock to class and we would switch on the alarm every one period to remind teachers that lesson has ended.
4.Huimin suggested that Mr Nathan's baby be named 'Prima'.
5.Celine, Huimin and me went to scare Miss Rose at the corridor.
6.Remember the huge notice board at the back of our class? we only pinned up one news which is the one starring Mr Wicks. Pathetic
7.I told Siew wen - 'Mrs Henry would dance hotly when she sees the bare body of the Nic Tse pic on my Literature file.
8. During O levels oral, we forgot to go toliet. We were in a room waiting for our turn and everyone was so urgent for the loo but the teacher forbidded us to leave the room.
9. In front of the whole class, Mdm Quek indirectly scolded Huimin, Celine and me for being so crazy over F4 and even introduced who F4 is to other classmates. ^.^
10. We told the toliet Aunty we are F4. Ahaha!! Huimin as Vanness, Celine as Baolong, Joyce as Ken and me as zaizai!! ^^,
11.Huimin's mad over tension. She brought to class a 'I Love John' poster. LOL.
12. During mother tongue lesson, Dorence said zaizai very disgusting. I shouted very loudly - go an die lah! Mdm Tan was shocked.
13. We proclaimed Miss Phua and Joyce mother and daughter.
14. We set up a FM channel for celine, titled -- 'Xiao Tian Tian Ping Dao'.
15.We told Mr Nathan to do the snake dance.
16. Lee Chen coming to school with the 'jay chou' hairstyle.
17. Mdm Goh's super high pitch 'skolah se diat!' The whole parade square went mad with laughter.
18. During natinal anthem when Huimin and Wen Hui raised the flag. Suddenly, our school flag was going higher and faster than the country's flag. Next moment, the Singapore flag dropped and shot up again. LOL.
19. We said (guess only me, huimin and Siew wen knows) that a guy in our class is Coco Lee all because of his super-tight pants that complimented the curves of his butt.
The list can go on...
Anyone has remebered othered funny moments in LYSS? Tag ya!! ^^,

Without the need to say,
Tonight's show is Taufik's night.
I was really impressed by both of his performances. He did a really good job and even the four judges unambiguously praised him. :)
LOL.. Sly's opening for the Justin's song was a little comedic.. He was actually wearing the cap of his dark shirt. Haha.. reminded me of the Grim Ripper... haha!! ^^,
He to me wasn't as good last week but still will be voting for him!! :) At least he's not the worst.
My Verdict on tonight's performances:
1st: Taufik
2nd: Oli
3rd: Sly
3rd: Daph (Okay, I think both Daph and Sly did equally well)
5th: Leandra
But...
My guess for the bottom two during tommorow's results show:
Leandra & Sly.
Oh my God!!
Looks like it's goanna be another roller coaster ride tommorow night!!
Time for cold sweaty palms and stomache again!! -.-''
::::::::::
Haha.. reading this week's 8-day's mag, I've come up with a verdict for the 8-days publisher members.
One word to describe them --
Clumsy.
First, they accidentally broke a glass ornament in Oli's room.
Next, they broke Taufik's chair during the visit to his house!!
HAHA!!

Okie, something interesting I've found out (in which I've edited some) :
Top 10 ways to bully a wheelchair-bound kid.
1. Buy him a pogo stick.
2. Ask him how often he has to have his tires rotated.
3. Tell him you'd like to borrow his wheelchair to guarantee yourself a good seat in the Singapore Idol Live Show.
4. Attach a bumper sticker that reads warning : 'I break for Orthopedic Surgeons.'
5. Totally ignore him and pretend he never exists, like everybody else does.
6. Give him one good shove down the handicap ramp.
7. Invite him to visit the top of the Statue of Liberty.
8. Ask him, "You must really feel like a loser during the National Anthem huh?"
9. Totally fawn over him and tell him how sorry you feel for him.
10. Say something-anything-of a sexual nature, implying that it's not just his legs that are permanently limp.
:::::::::::::::::::
OMG.
I can't believe if any human-being is capable of doing such stuffs.
It makes me sick just at the thought of it.
