Then You’ll Knit Afar, Ah!

According to sources I shall not name:

Nita of Malaysian Idol sang True Love in an album called Boys & Girls 1+1=3, released by Positive Tone, produced by a certain Paul Moss.
Farah was in the underground hip-hop scene, in a group named Blindside Bawlas.

Who cares about the dude with the highest votes? I sure don’t.

There, add that to your conspiracy theories, people.

Oh and Jaclyn was a rocker.

Oh, and have you noticed that girls often proclaim and thus subconsciously program themselves to become bisexual? Meanwhile, guys can like girls too!

I Dole

Maybe it’s good karma to give away your Malaysian Idol finale tickets at Genting Arena Of Stars.

Yes, this picture was Photoshopped.

I gave both away, and lo and behold! I saw them perform at Sunway Pyramid the same day. Yeah I was like this close, as compared to up in Genting, where I’d be this far.

It was also the first time I’d ever see the second Malaysian Idol performers sing. Yes I’m never home on Friday nights when it shows. Nita was good, while Daniel had a very obvious Chinese pronunciation to everything (and didn’t sing as flashily or perfectly). Farah however was HOT. She did the vocal gymnastics on Celine Dion’s All By Myself perfectly!

Of course, some idiot kids had to ruin it by voting the most for Daniel. After seeing his performance, all I thought was that he was a cuter Vick who didn’t sing as well, and should have gotten third place just like Vick did. Now Farah is out of the game; there is no reason for me to go anymore, even if I had tickets, accomodation and could go.

Skip Tickle Form

chez1978, you’re going to love this link. Neurotypical people are boring! That applies to about almost everybody on Friendster blogs. I end up deleting those email notifications anyway.

The wonders of Wikipedia has let me mistakenly self-diagnose myself with Asperger’s syndrome. What’s a bored geek to do? Maybe I should copy the attributes I can diagnose myself with and define it as Albertism.

“You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others’ statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.” – B.R. Forer; isn’t his description of you pretty damn straight on?

And to a certain recently misconverted friend: Yes you can make X amount of money in 2 months, but you can also lose many friends in meeting them for 2 hours. 😀

The A-list

So I bumped into Azwin Andy of Estranged (and 8tv’s Latte@8 Drummer Boy and Tak Nak poster boy) once again. He said, “so I bump into you again.

Then I wondered if there was any karmaic connection between him and Az, who I used to bump into back when he was in Malaysia. So what did they have in common? Maybe it’s their height, or that they are in the underground music scene, or…

I think I’ll just elaborate on why while taking a shower, I figured it was because their names started with the letter A.

13.2% of my Friendster friends have names starting with A. 12.5% of my mobile phone contact numbers are the A list.

Now the question is, are there really that much more people starting with A, or are people whose names start with A more likely to go out? An Adam would get an invitation to a party maybe 2 hours before a Michael. Don’t forget that there’s time involved calling/messaging. By the time you reach Michael, your initial come-on-let’s-go-coaxing-power is diminished with Michael. It would also be more likely that a Alvin snapped up that other free invite of yours to a party. This Alvin then goes to the party, and other people meet him, they exchange numbers, and once again, the A-list prevails.

If you are a happening socialite with plenty of people inviting you to free beer (and you’re a guy!) and your name doesn’t start with A and you believe my theory is wack because I’m writing this after being invited to an uh… uh… some event with free beer, post a reply to this blog entry.

…then I could laugh at you for having no life and having free time to read my blog instead of going out to party.

…oh wait, don’t boycott me, I want to shake your hand and thank you for replying.

Bayar Parking

Did you know you can now pay for your parking on the third floor of Midvalley?

You even get a free palm reading while you’re at it!

While I’m on a sarcastic run, I never got any presents back in school. In fact, I was so unpopular, all my classmates… no wait, my whole school all skipped classes on that day!

Chinese stung by bees and beer bellies

What: World Peace Concert

How much: It’s in an open air place so it’s gotta be free… right?

This has been confirmed with one representative of musiccanteen.com; they’ve rented out their stage for that night.

I changed my MSN nickname to “Wanna meet Amber Chia this weekend? Message me” and only 3 guys replied, all without any interest. However, at least 6 girls responded. Hmmm. What do Amber Chia, Angelina Jolie and Kylie Minogue have in common? Bee-stung lips that, for some reason, attract women. I heard that Mr. And Mrs. Smith was a hit with the lesbian community, and that Angelina Jolie made some straight girls reconsider their sexuality. Gay guys seem to love these women, too. Really.

Oh and I shall join my free-beer-loving buddies on Sunday night whee! Zack watch out! Er, Irene, you know ah, I have to er, increase my tolerance… like c’mon look at your URL, yo… (yes I’m coming don’t worry lah…)

Aisle Dance

I pulled her in and twirled her out
Her sleek legs danced imaginary rainbows
Gracing the floor as if to sing
Pirouette! Pirouette! Will you do the tango?

Thus was the dance with a one-handled kids’ shopping cart at IKEA

Enough personification, Carte and me spun about
In the rejects department we danced close
To the gentle beat of the Michael Buble swing
When the lady of my life said, “let’s go!”

Thus ended my trance with a one-handled kids’ shopping cart. Please Mama!
