Viewer's Choice 2009

I wanted to embed my favourite commercial here, but I can't do so, so I guess I'll just post about it here.

Looking at all the commercials, I feel that only one of the commercial deserves the award. It's the commercial from Silkair, about a fellow taking a bath when a tribe member appears from out of nowhere. The unexpected part is, the fellow then uses his fingers to cover his nipples from the tribe member! That's so funny lah! And the tagline that followed later? "You'll never forget a holiday from Silkair." ROFLMAO! That hit it!

Seriously, all the other commercials really do not have this effect that this commercial from Silkair has. Hence, I hope that this award gets the Viewer's Choice Award this year! (Don't ask me to vote; I'm not rich!)

A Little Too Not Over You - David Archuleta

Hi all! Here's the last song of the four part special for February. In case you readers are new here, this month, I have put up four songs, that have a common theme. So, your job is to guess what is the common theme for all four songs. Remember, the theme has something to do with some part of me.

Ok, so today's song is A Little Too Not Over You, by David Archuleta:

A Little Too Not Over You - David Archuleta

Lyrics to A Little Too Not Over You [David Archuleta]
It never crossed my mind at all
That's what I tell myself
What we had has come and gone
You're better off with someone else

It's for the best I know it is but I see you
Sometimes I try to hide what I feel inside
And I turn around, you're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why you're so hard to forget
Don't remind me, I'm not over it
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you, not over you

Aren't memories supposed to fade?
What's wrong with my heart?
Shake it off, let it go
Didn't think it'd be this hard

Should be strong, movin' on but I see you
Sometimes I try to hide what I feel inside
And I turn around, you're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why you're so hard to forget
Don't remind me, I'm not over it
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Maybe I regret everything I said
No way to take it all back, yeah
Now I'm on my own, how I let you go
I'll never understand
I'll never understand!

Tell me why you're so hard to forget
Don't remind me, I'm not over it
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Tell me why you're so hard to forget
Don't remind me, I'm not over it
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth
And I really don't know what to do
I'm just a little too not over you, not over you

Sets and such

I was just thinking about sets another day, and I figured that a figment of my thoughts can be represented in a set like this. Have fun figuring what the signs (and what A and B) ! (Or go and check out set theory on Wikipedia!)

The Amazing Race 14!

Yes, The Amazing Race is back with a 14th season!

I caught the debut of The Amazing Race 14, and the first thing that caught my attention is the mother and son pair Margie and Luke, for Luke is deaf. I had thought that they might be one of the first few pairs to be eliminated. However, it surprised me that they had gotten a first place finish for the first leg! That's like, OMG! Really!

Anyway for you readers who are interested in catching this series, it is broadcast at 8 pm on Mondays at Channel 5. BTW it's possible to catch a direct telecast from the USA on 8 am the same day, but we have school! ;)

Gotta be somebody - Nickelback

Good day all! I have received quite a bit of replies on what the 4 songs that I'm putting up for February have in common. I must say that some of the replies are quite interesting, but there's no way you readers can really decipher the theme of the four songs, without listening to all 4 songs.

So here we are. Today's song is Gotta Be Somebody, by the band Nickelback.

Gotta Be Somebody - Nickelback
(The video may be a bit soft though.)

Lyrics to Gotta Be Somebody [Nickelback]
This time
I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough

So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen

So I'll be holdin' my breath
Right up 'til the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with!

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to be like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight
Out on the street, out in the moonlight
And damn, all this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu
Me standin' here with you

So I'll be holdin' my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to be like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Ooh! You can't give up
When you're lookin' for a diamond in the rough
You'll never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin' on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to be like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh!

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to be like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

7 things about 13 February

This morning, I went around telling classmates that they can get a free lunch on me if they somehow manages to break my hand. It's crazy, but it's a way that I have come up with to commemorate the anniversary of the fracture of my left arm.

Yes, I broke my arm, near my wrist, on this fateful day. Fateful, because it has changed so much of my life! So many of my dearest things were lost! So many!

Ok, here on this blog of mine, I am going to list down 7 things related to me breaking my hand on this fateful day. Some of them may be directly related to the fracture, while others may only be tangentially related. So here they are:

1. $10 note
This happened to be my pocket money for this day last year and the day after. Something happened to the $10 note before I could spend it on that day. It's up to you readers to guess what happened. I'm not telling here.

2. 0945
This happened to be the time that I broke my hand. There's another thing to do with the 4 numbers though. Again I'm not telling what is the other significance of 0945.

3. Bang Wu
The first person that attended to me, when I realised that something was not right after the fall that had caused me to break my hand. In fact, he came on his own accord. Mr Tan the PE teacher even told him to enjoy his games instead, but I told him that Bang Wu was from St. John, and so he could help me. Anyway, here's a big thanks to you, Bang Wu, if you are reading this!

4. Meng Han
The last schoolmate I spoke to, before leaving the school to seek medical attention. He shared with me on his experiences with fractures. For example, he said that the staff will send me to KK Hospital if I went to a polyclinic. Anyway, he also comforted me, which is why I want to thank him here. So, if you are reading this, Meng Han, here's a big Thank You from me!

5. 10 year series
This was the advice given to me from a staff at KK Hospital. To be specific, it was the X-ray specialist who attended to me that gave me this advice, seeing and inferring that I was in the Upper Secondary levels. Some more, he was on an attachment, as he was still studying at a polytechnic. He told me that doing 10 year series will greatly improve my chances at the O levels. As it came from somebody who has been through the O levels recently, I believe that what he says is true. So you readers, if your O levels are coming up (which should be the case) , go on and do your 10 year series!

6. 5
This is the room number that I went to to see the doctor who would do something about my fractured hand. Coincidentally, this was also the result for What's my expression number? blog quiz.

7. Chicken rice
This was the first meal I had after I broke my hand. There was a 9 hour gap between my last meal, my breakfast, and this meal, which meant I was very hungry. ;)

There you have it. 7 random facts related to the fracture of my hand.

Wafers and dust

Small things can agitate me. Just like how a wafer is contaminated when just one speck of dust lands on the wafer, hence small things, no matter how tiny it is, can have the potential to change my mood (and probably my attitude towards other stuff) in that day. And like how the speck of dust can make a whole wafer useless, seemingly small things can change my mood for the whole day.

But questions emerge. What small things have this ability to change my mood?

Insomnia - Craig David

This is the second of a four part series on some assortment of songs. Have you guessed the common theme for the four songs that will be up on the Mondays of February? If you have, what a smart fellow! But I doubt this, so let's go on to the second song.

All right, today's song is Insomnia, by Craig David:

Insomnia - Craig David

Lyrics to Insomnia [Craig David]
I never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love
But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush
Being without you girl, I was all messed up, up, up, up
When you walked out, said that you'd had enough-nough-nough-nough

Been a fool, girl I know
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more
Oh i stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love, love, love, love
You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust, trust, trust, trust
And then you walked into my life and it was all about us, us, us, us
But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up, up

Been a fool (fool), girl I know (know)
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time (time), you'll change your mind (mind)
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before (Because it)
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah (Ah), Feels like insomnia ah ah

Ah, i just can't go to sleep
Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And i know that it's love because

I can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

My Facebook Addiction! Argh!

One month has passed (ie. the O levels are now one month closer) , but my Facebook addiction is still going strong. Something like the economy, except it's staying up instead of staying down [mind the pun! ;) ] ! BTW, please click the "accept" button, not the "ignore" button, to accept my invitations to the following applications:

  1. Battle Stations
  2. Mafia Wars
  3. Rock Legends
  4. Battle of the Bands
  5. Knighthood
  6. Pro Racer
And seriously, I don't get the purpose of Owned! I tried to understand, but seriously I think I just don't get it. :X

... ...

Probably I will slowly reduce my addiction to Facebook, but Facebook is like smoking, and getting rid of the addiction won't be easy!

Crush - David Archuleta

For the month of February, Mondays will be Music Monday! That's when I turn my blog into a music blog, showcasing some of my favourite songs. The songs I pick for this blog won't be any ordinary songs, however. All the songs will have a common theme and it's up to you readers to figure out what (though this month's theme is pretty obvious) .

Right, today's song is Crush, by David Archuleta:

Crush - David Archuleta

Lyrics to Crush [David Archuleta]
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush

'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me, just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay

Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl?
Are we just friends? Is there more? Is there more?

See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever!

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay
This crush ain't going away-ay-ay

Going away
Going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay
