Dont ask me why but I've been watching Malaysian Dreamgirl recently. The sound quality is really bad because even when I turn my speakers up to the full volume, I still cant hear clearly what the people are talking about in the video. Wait a minute, it's probably not the fault of the video, it's probably due to the fact that I've not digged the 'gold' out of my ears for a million years. Yes, that must be the explanation!
Video editing is kind of bad too because some episodes start and end abruptly. For instance, in episode 6, it started off suddenly with the contestants giving their comments on the elimination...when...the elimination took place in episode 5. Couldn't they just try to squeeze that part into episode 5? They could've done so if they had cut away some really boring and why-the-fuck-is-this-here footage. Also, episode 6 was awfully short and it seems to me that they forgot to edit the video so they just anyhow cut-and-pasted a few scenes together and ta-da~episode 6. Furthermore, episode 6 part 3 was uploaded on a different day from the first two parts. Do I sense some serious slacking on the part of the producers?
In addition to episode 6, what was the significance of the flying fox part? And where are the photos from that photoshoot? If it wasnt a photoshoot then seriously, what a waste of time(viewer's) and effort (the photographer's). If it was a photoshoot...then upload those pictures already damn it!
Episode 7 was a refreshing change from episode 6 because it was filled with bitching and more bitching. I hate to admit this but I just loved episode 7 because of all the bitching, although I didnt understand Hanis at all. Not her fault though, it was my fault because I cant understand Malay at all. The producers should've had inserted all these serious bitching from day one to spice up the show. I'm sure that the girls didnt just start to bitch only now. They must have had bitched more during Ringo's return. Bitching and back-stabbing are the elements that make an online reality tv show, or any tv show actually, interesting to watch. I mean, why would anyone want to sit through a show that features only goody two shoes? How boring!
After watching the latest episode and then comparing it with the first few, it made me wonder...whether those girls who were squealing irritatingly like 2-year-old kids whenever they get freebies...are the same girls who were doing some serious bitching in the latest episode. If they're the same, then I must really say that these girls are.................really women! Come on, women bitch all day long. Like it or not, we're made this way. :D
Onto the contestants, I cant decide whether I like Adeline or not. During the audition, I felt bad for her when the judges were making fun of her pronunciation of 'sushi', which she pronounced it as 'susi'. Like wtf, you dont go around making fun of people's pronunciation and somemore, this is a reality tv show that searches for models(obviously not dreamgirls now) and not anchorwomen ok! Models need to look pretty and since when was language ability an important factor in modelling?
Cindy was really pretty...until her locks got chopped off. If cutting your long tresses=making a big sacrifice, like what Ringo said in her profile video, I think that you all should vote for Cindy too~ Oh wait, but she's like really fake, speaks bad Mandarin and calls people names like 'yin du po' and 'ma lai po' when she obviously knows their names. Oh, but I really like the way she complains over the phone. Really bitchy and she sounded as if she really wanted to dig her claws into the other contestants but couldnt do so because...well, the cameras are there you know.
Eyna. I dont know. She is like expressionless for like 100% of the time.
Fiqa. One of the few whom I thought was cute initially when I saw the profiles videos. I like it how she says that she doesnt want to nag about Cindy but still goes on to divulge more juicy stuff about Cindy. Still like her though.
Hanis. She can look sweet at times and not very pleasant-looking at times. Cant talk much about her because 99% of the time, I dont understand what she's talking about.
Jay. Looks really model-ish and her English is arguably the best among all the contestants now.
Nadia. Scares me alot, especially her eyes and when she doesnt smile.
Ringo. Was the only familiar face when I first started watching because I've been reading her blog for quite some time. When I heard her voice for the first time on the profile video, I was like 'Fake-accent alert" and I really didnt like the way she spoke. From other episodes, forgot which one, she spoke kind of differently from the profile video and it sounded so much nicer without the fake accent. Her blog is starting to irritate me because every single post now is about how we should all vote for 'cheesie-sama', why she's awesome and all those shit. Seriously, damn hard-sell and gets revolting after some time. Oh, and I shivered when I read what Mr.bbq had to say in the post 'Thank you everyone'. I quote him directly here: I positively teared okay. WTF?! That's disgusting can! So yup, everyone please vote for Ringo to let her win so as to stop all the hard-sell posts and let the entries there return to normal, when it was actually good to read. She's going to win anyway right? I mean, if the producers dont keep her on the show long enough, they will lose all the money they'll get from her big bunch of loyal blog readers' votes.
Yup, I just wasted part of my life blogging about this.
It's only about 2pm but I already had an extremely sucky day today. No thanks to those people whom I met today.
Since I had to wait an hour before my first class started, I decided to make a trip to the library to photostat my JS2224 readings. The librarians were having some meeting or something and they were all talking loudly in the library. -_- Arent librarians supposed to shush people and not talk loudly among themselves? Anyway, whatever. That was not one of the reasons for my very sucky day. The sucky part began when I inserted my cashcard into the printer's card reader. Normally, the card slides in smoothy when you push it in but today, it wasn't smooth at all and in fact, my card got stuck. Damn. Went to the counter for help and this nice lady came over to help me. She tried to switch off and on the power switch, pressed the eject button and even tried to use a tweezer to take my card out but to no avail. Time was ticking and I had lesser and lesser time to photostat the vast amount of readings. She told me that the printer is usable, just that the cashcard's stuck and told me to go ahead with the printing. I placed my handphone and cashcard pouch on the printer tray which I wont be using at all. Halfway through printing, another lady, whom I assume to be either the printer expert or that nice lady's boss, came to me saying (shouting), 'GOT DEDUCT MONEY OR NOT?!'Apparently to her, if the cashcard's stuck, money might not get deducted from it and that means that I'm printing for free. Of course, they cant give me paper and ink for free (although it's their fucking printer's fault). In her hurry to try eject my cashcard, she went to LIFT THE TRAY WHICH MY HANDPHONE WAS ON...so as to allow her to reach for the power switch. My phone almost fell to the ground because of her. Fuck. She didnt even say sorry. So anyway, she managed to eject my cashcard and re-inserted it in for me. Continued printing...realised that after a certain amount of pages that I printed, the cashcard stopped deducting money...which meant that...my cashcard's stuck AGAIN. Being a nice person, I continued and finished printing my stuff before telling the nice lady that my cashcard's stuck again. :D In fact, I think it's still stuck now. Wonder when will they call me to pick up my cashcard.
With a little time left after printing, I went to the JS Office to pick up the application forms for SEP. Why cant that school put the application forms online?! Apparently, that school still hasnt sent the forms to NUS yet...-_- NUS' deadline for handing in the forms is like approaching soon lo! :(
After school, walked in the freaking hot sun to Citibank to open a savings account with my mother. Few days back, my mum called this Citibank guy to ask him for application forms so that we can fill them up. I seriously dont get the point of printing out application forms yourself, then bringing those forms to the bank to open an account. I mean, since you have to go to the bank anyway, waste their papers la! Why waste your own? One thing I cant stand is the online application thing. What's the fucking use of online application when you need to print them out so that you can sign on them? Defeats the purpose of the word ONLINE. So anyway, the Citibank guy told my mum that it's ok for me to open an account that requires clients to be at least 21 years of age although I'm not 21 yet. Reason was because I'll turn 21 soon anyway. Went down to the bank in the sweltering weather, got told that I cant open the account, felt extremely pissed. All because of their ignorant Joseph Lee guy, I made a fruitless trip. Asshole.
All because of that stupid Citibank employee, I went to POSB to open an account instead. The lady tried to convince us to sign up for this minimum ten years account. There are risks with this account because it's like an investment account. Not sure what the account is about anyway. The lady explained like never explain like that...and her tone was seriously damn haolian. When my mum asked her how the bank will use the funds to invest, she replied, 'Invest lar! Different kinds.' Thanks alot bitch. Next my mum asked how risky it was because there's something called high-risk and low-risk. She replied, 'Every investment also got risks.' Thanks, not helping at all. Decided to sign up for 2 accounts. One was the one that she was trying to promote and another one was the MySavings account. Asked her several times if I need to fill up the MySavings account but she ignored me because she was trying to print out the other account's application form. She didnt even offer me a pen to fill up the form. So ya, she printed out the application and started to explain to us the details. Fuck you. Only when we say that we want to sign up then she made an effort to explain. Anyway, the terms didnt sound that attractive so we decline signing up. It's our choice whether we want to sign up or not but she went 'I know you dont want to sign up because of the application costs (or some other costs, cant remember exactly) right!' WTF. Hated her fucking arrogant tone and her I-will-serve-you-only-if-you-will-sign-up-for-an-account attitude. I think they get commisson for that account because she looked pissed when we told her that we will just sign up for the MySavings account. On a form that she asked us to sign, she did not offer us a pen. Isnt it common sense to offer your customers a pen when you request their signatures?! Anyway, wanted to give her a 'Need Improvement' rating but my mother told me not to do so because she didnt want to get her into trouble. -_- WTF?! Hopes she get fired soon anyway.
So yup, sucky day. Hope that the later half of the day will be better.
Went to watch Broadway Beng Returns yesterday. From the title of the play, you know it's about an ah beng doing broadway shows and hence, obviously there would be lots of Hokkien used in the play. Initially I was kind of worried about the use of Hokkien in the play because I cannot understand Hokkien. However, surprisingly, I could understand most of the Hokkien used yesterday. Erm, probably it's because the Hokkien used was more of vulgarities and hence, I understood. Haha, I can understand vulgarities of a particular language without knowing how to speak it. Hee~
The play was seriously worth the money. It was so freaking funny and I totally loved ah beng's portrayal of Phantom of the Opera. Phantom of the Opera a.k.a ah beng version was so cute and I was quite amazed by the foreigner woman's voice. Damn high can~! Oh ya, and the woman who played Christine had such a sweet voice. I want also~! While watching the play, I thought that the ah beng was damn familiar but I did not know who was Sebastian Tan. So when I went home and google-d his name, I finally realised why. He's the guy who used to sing the Price of Peace theme song and I think he acted in quite a few Mediacorp(or TCS, since it was quite long ago) dramas. Ok, he has quite a good voice. :D
I was so into old songs when I heard the Price of Peace theme song that I went to download more old TCS drama songs. Ok, I know I am damn lame and have nothing better else to do, but whatever la...I'm sick and cant do much anyway. I wanted to download Chew Chor Meng's Immortal Love theme song but cant find it anywhere...can anyone send me if they have it? Hehe. Oh ya, I realised they named Immortal Love as My Date With a Vampire 4. WTF?! MDWAV is a Hongkong drama for goodness sake! In addition, MDWAV started in 1998 and Immortal Love started in 1997 so it doesnt make any cow sense to put Immortal Love as part 4 lo...
I am obviously sick considering that I'm actually doing stuff like this...
WTF. I am seriously pissed.
Last Thursday supposed to have TS meeting but no one showed up. Waited in vain with Fiona for 1 hr before realising that it was cancelled but we were not informed.
Tonight 10pm supposed to have MSN TS meeting. One guy showed up but left at 10:12. WTF...might as well dont come right! Fuck. Fiona and Larissa came. Waited for one hour and no one else came. WTF. Is pang-sehing that fun?! If not planning to appear, then dont say want to do meeting! I specially went back to school today to do some reading for today's meeting somemore. Today's Sunday for goodness sake! Went back to school only to be pang-sehed. WTH.
See why I fucking hate school?
P.S: If this is an April's Fool joke, I'm so not impressed.
