Youtube Awards 2007

Look what the pop culture has evolved. Especially in the web, where you can be an overnight superstar in this culture. Here is one of the videos made it into the awards.



Pretty cool, huh? ^_^

Turned 21 on the 21st

Woohoo! An adult! =P Heck I still act like a child sometimes...

I had a fun time for the whole day, well some family outing sort of. The last time we had that kind of outing was quite a long time ago... (okay, it was 2 weeks).

We went to the hot springs in Hulu Tamu, which is somewhere near Genting Highlands. Water there was really HOT (well duh!), I have yet to soak my feet to the water for a long period of time unlike my dad.

Let's see, it's my first time to the Batu Caves (yea, surprising). We climbed 272 steps to the top of the cave and it is not easy feat. Wonder why we went there the first place.

My mom told me that she went there before years ago, and things are not the same as it used to. There are a lot of stalls, shops, kiosks selling snacks, souvenirs and loads of stuff there to cater the tourists there now, compared to just a flight of stairs leading to the cave and some temples. There are also monkeys who are joining in the visiting crowd too. =)

To cap it off, there is a simple but nice birthday cake, streams of facebook scrawlings on my wall and receiving SMSes from my friends.

Madonna - Ray of Light

Still sounds good after all these years!

Elections

Our General Elections are finally over and there is a rave discussion over the results so far....

Five State Assemblies have been taken over by the Opposition, something unprecedented in the past 50 years, namely Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor and the usual Kelantan.

Shocking, isn't it?

Maybe it is high time BN has to change their policies that cater to the general public.

Personality Tests

Tried one of the weird-sounding personality tests? No? Then you should take one.

Why? It kinda tells a little bit about you. Say for instance "Are you a workaholic?" determines whether you a tense working freak, or a total slacker.

Plus, it's fun too! =)

Sometimes the results turned out to be downright funny, because it turned out NOT even close to what you are. It's a pretty good laugh sometimes.

If you are interested to take these personality tests, try this website: Tickle.com. There is a whole archive of tests for you to enjoy, from the serious personality analysis to the zany, fun ones.

Note in these kinds of tests there are no correct answers, just honest ones. =)

Reality TV

Or a new versions of game shows. if you want call it. The key differences are: it is set anywhere but a studio, interviews or confessionals by the contestants, painful eliminations and bigger rewards on the line.

I admit, I am a BIG fan of reality TV series. Since the debut of the first reality show (Survivor) back in 2000. (Wow, 8 years already?) I've been watching various types of it. Name one and I can tell you I have watched at least 1 episode of it.

Survivor Beauty and the Geek The Amazing Race Hell's Kitchen The Apprentice Fear Factor American Idol So You Think You Can Dance? America's Next Top Model

Even though the quality of the shows slipped over the years, I still watch it irregardless. Of course some reality TV is just plain retarded. Like I heard of the shows actually designed to meant to find a appropriate donor for organ transplant! My god, why do people take other people's misery as a form of entertainment! >:(

Now that most shows are back for their new seasons, it's time to watch a new cast of people participating the good old shows, root for your favorites and hang on tight during eliminations.

Happens Once Every Four Years

Look at the date today. Yeap, it's February the 29^th! (or ventinueve de Febrero in Spanish)

As all of you know, 2008 is a leap year. Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year, so every 4 years there is a February 29th, Right? Not exactly, because years that can also divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year, like 1700, 1800, 1900 except it is also divisible by 400. So years like 1600, 2000, 2400 is a leap year.

I could not imagine some people actually have to wait for 4 years to celebrate their actual birthday. >_<

Life of Warfare

People always hope to find world peace sooner or later. I am a believer of this seemingly unachievable resolution too. But somehow, there is always conflict, quarrels, fights and confrontations happening out of the blue in life. Of course, we are either the offensive who seeks something they want, the defendant who never backs down without a fight, the mediator to keep the peace (and desperately trying to end the fight) or someone who happens to witness the whole thing unfolds.

These unpleasantness just happens. Just because everyone has a lot of ideas and opinions to disagree on, something everyone wants but there is not enough for everyone, or even something they felt they are unhappy over things.

So why we don't just all agree on everything?

We just can't. After all we are individuals with different personalities, backgrounds and their opinions shaped based on anything they have seen, heard and felt. As no one had the same experiences, so their point of view will never be the same. If everyone walks, acts and talks the same, then the world is definitely boring. Guess diversity comes with its disadvantages, huh? =)

So in the end of the day, after we pursue the art of arguing, we should start picking up what's next -- the art of compromising.

TV's Back!!!!

Okay, i know i'm a bit too late for this. The Writer's Guild strike has concluded on February 12, 2008. Which means the writers are back at their studios writing scripts for our shows we love so much.

These are some of the shows resuming in a few weeks or April. I only list some of the popular shows, if you see your favorite is not here, no worries! They are back too. The ones in green are the ones I watch religiously, light blues are occasional fan of the show.

Heroes One tree Hill Brothers & Sisters 24 Eureka Ugly Betty Pushing Daisies House Friday Night Lights Scurbs Family Guy Lost How I Met Your Mother Aliens in America Smallville Prison Break The Office Desperate Housewives Grey's Anatomy Supernatural The Simpsons

This means i have a lot of entertainment (read: distraction) in store!

Valentine's for Singletons

Valentine's day it's like any other day for me.... Obviously just because I don't have a significant other to celebrate with... haha.

It's not like I don't really try to find one, it's just that I don't feel I'm ready for a relationship. Relationship commitment is something I don't really think of right now, especially when a lot of things happening in my life. But then again, if there's someone I really like, and some chemistry happening, who knows?

Okay, maybe I'm not making an effort to find true love. =P

Whether you are in a wonderful relationship with someone or living a life as a single:

Happy Valentine's Day!

geez, this is my first time using pink to write on my blog. :)
