Beautifully Imperfect.

That would come in handy. I wish I could pull of one of those. No, but seriously speaking, you really need to check this one out.

Chris Daughtry - Cover of Lady Gaga's Poker Face


Can you just say MUSIC. GOD. Wow. He does Lady Gaga stripped better than Lady Gaga herself.

It doesn't matter if he's singing about Russian roulettes and folding 'em, the twang of guitar strings always make me feel better. Plus, he's attractive as hell.

This post was supposed to be about how happy and well I'm feeling but it's strange how you can go from one extreme to another so quickly. Oh well.

Here's another pretty interesting remix for the road. You'll love it, especially if you're a Twilight fan since it's actually some Twilight fanvid. But the song, that's Taylor Swift's Love Story mashed up with OneRepublic's Apologize. Makes for a great dramatic Twilight Edward/Bella video, strangely.


Aww.

Now that school has once again reopened, I spent most of the afternoon helping Joel with his tatabahasa homework. My BM isn't the greatest but its still good enough for Standard 4 tatabahasa, thank god. Heh.

After finishing his homework, he turns to me, beams in appreciation and goes:

Joel: THANK YOU WEN KOR! You're such a princess, you know that?

Me: (kembangs for a few seconds, thinking wow, this kid sure is good with his compliments) Huh? Why?

Joel: Because you're not married yet la!

I blinked and stoned at him for awhile. Honestly, I love the way children minds work. It doesn't get any more o.O than that.

Oh well, means when I get married I will be the queen. MWAHAHAHAHAH

Sorry, getting a bit carried away with being royalty for awhile. Heh. :P

Adam showed me a youtube vid the other day of this hilarious, stone-faced comedian doing a mime to Natalie Imbruglia's 'Torn' (which I nearly killed myself laughing at - the mime, I mean, not Natalie Imbruglia's Torn) and it is so SO SO hilarious. I watched it a few more times after that, still laughing, sent it to Josh and laughed about it somemore over MSN. Hee. I also sent it to Drew and he says it's an "old thing" but pfft, I'm a bit outdated. So if you haven't already seen it, give it a go.


The Internet is a great tool, but I think I do spend too much time on it for my own good. One thing leads to another and another and another and poof! your whole afternoon may be gone.

I was just randomly looking for a Twilight shot to put on the sidebar the other day and then I stumbled upon this huuuuuuge collection of gorgeous Robert Pattinson shots (For those of you who don't know, Rob Pattinson is the actor who plays the main character, Edward Cullen). And he's really quite the looker. I think it's the brooding, mysterious look. Classically good-looking, if you may.

I'm quite liking the book series. Twilight starts off really painfully slowly and trudges through a lot of trivial things, but the second half was arguably far better. And then things get better on from there on. I wouldn't say it's great great because it's not the page-turner I expected it to be, most definitely not like how I read Harry Potter from day to night non-stop, but it's still pretty good. At the heart of it, its actually essentially romance. With action and suspense and a dash of gore. Just a dash.

The movie on the other hand, was a pure disappointment. I know tons of people who love the movie because they haven't read the book, so it's one way or the other, I guess. It's love the movie and hate the book, or love the book and hate the movie.

BUT. THE. CAST. IS. GORGEOUS.

They're painted as such gorgeous creatures in the book, these vampires. They have flawless skin, and they glitter when they catch sunlight, have great hair and bodies and glide along gracefully. There's supposed to be this aura about them that's perfect.

They did a great job with casting, but then the movie didn't do their beauty enough justice, Rob Pattinson aside. I recognised Elisabeth Reaser from Grey's who was Esme but had no clue to how the other actually looked like sans thick vampire make-up. Look how pretty these people are.

EXAMMMMMS. 13 - 18 June.

The only bright spot in all this is that I'll finish right in time for Mary's 21st. Hee. Dual celebration in style, for sure.

To make things worse, I had a day-long craving for Maybank nasi lemak doused with their awesome sambal all day. Drove there after class, and as usual got stuck in the rush hour jam. Kept on dreaming of the nasi lemak and fried chicken and sped to Sea Park after I got off the LDP.

And it was closed.

WTF. :((((((

I have never seen the Maybank mamak closed. Everrrr. Emooo-ed in the car, staring at the closed mamak and their stacked chairs in disbelief and wondered if I should drive to Uptown for that other awesome nasi lemak but then decided that the traffic would be insane. Drove home very very upset. Lol.


This makes me all the more determined to tapau it later for dinner. A girl's gotta have her fuel to continue all the textbook cramming, and today, mine comes in the form of Maybank nasi lemak.


I can't believe I just typed up a whole entry about nasi lemak. I swear it's the stress.

Didn't manage to catch the repeat of the finale because I was at Pyramid with the uni gang so Youtube it is!

I still love them both. Thought little David did better at the finale, but still Simon said it best when he said that for the first time, he didn't really care who won because they're so deserving.






p/s: Oi, PANG WEI SOON in Moscow, are you serious about having watched the Champions League finals livee? PICTURES, I WANT PICTURESSSS.

Thank God for Youtube. People who created video streaming, you are geniuses.

MANCHESTER UNITED. GARY. FIRST EPL AS CAPTAIN. CHAMPIONS!

*does happy happy happy, immensely happy dance*

Now I'm all teary eyed. Gary lifts first EPL as captain. SO PROUD OMG.

ETA: In conjunction with this super awesome event - Mr. Ungentleman Pang Wei Soon turns twenty today! Happy birthday, Soony :)

How many of you remember Elliott Yamin from last season's American Idol? Siokkwan, remember him?


Cute pic. The top four from last season. Elliott, Taylor, Katharine and Chris.

I was rooting for Chris and Elliott all the way. Shucks. Neither of 'em won. You know, the person I root for NEVER wins American Idol. Ever. I definitely was NOT rooting for Fantasia. I liked Carrie, but preferred Bo (but Anthony Fedorov was shoooooo cuuuuute). And then in Season 5, Taylor won. Darn. How did that happen?

Anyway, while the other Idol contestants from his season came out with albums, Elliott sat in the sidelines, apparently waiting for record companies to sign him. I, personally do not understand how he was not snapped up immediately. I love that Chris was signed almost immediately, but Elliott should've been too! If Kellie Pickler can get a record deal, so can he.

Come on. He's such a genuine, sweet guy. I'm saying this like I know him personally, but how could you watch Idol and not like him? He and his mother seem like the sweetest people ever. I cried like a little baby when he got voted out. Because there's just something in him that makes you see that he wants it so bad. The passion, the love for singing, the awe that America voted him that far, it's all so evident.


Aww.


Why is it that he can post like that and not look lala?


Debut album!

But anyway, that isn't the point. The point is, he FINALLY has a record album out. And I love his voice. It just has that silky-yet-raspy (although don't ask me how that is possible) quality to it.


Elliott and his new song, 'Wait For You'. Go listen!

*Wendy melts away into a little gooey puddle* Guhhhhhhhhhh.



Psst, Elliott! You need a haircut though. Just sayin'. Look at how much better your hair used to look.

And since I'm on the topic of Idol, lemme gush somemore about Chris Daughtry. Happy sigh.


Chris Daughtry. OMG. I think this was when he sang that Bryan Adams song. *melts somemore*

How is it that this guy finished fourth on Idol is still beyond me. He has everything it takes to be an American Idol. The entire package. The look, the voice, the talent. Everrrrrything.


But maybe it's better for him that he didn't win. Who knows what the producers would've done to him? They may have manufactured him into some bubble-gum pop tearin'-up-my-heart dancing guy. Which is very shudder-inducing. Yes, he would have made the Idol single his own, and made it awesome in his own right, but do you really want to hear him sing Taylor's 'Do I Make You Proud'? Cheese-fest.


Chris' It's Not Over. Have to say I prefer this video over Elliott's debut. Hey, does that girl in the video look like Theresa from the O.C. to you guys? Also, umm, hellooooo leather pants.

What makes me happier than just Elliott or just Chris?

Chris AND Elliott singing together! :D *squees like a little fangirl*


The both of them giving a Nickelback song some love.


Gah. Duets are love. And yes, you all probably already know how I feel about guys and guitars now. :P


And since I'm posting pictures...


Wackiness.


Doesn't it make you happy to know that you're not the only camwhores in the world? Lol. Hee. They're so adorable.


More hamming it up for the cam.

Don't you just love pic-spams? Not if you're on dial-up, but still. :D

This is what happens when I'm all the way here without MTV or Channel [V] and when Youtube is my only source of music videos. Layan a bit lah.

In other news - presentation for Money and Caps went okay today. Phew.

Lol. Am I the only one who finds it so funny that I love my reality tv and can ramble on about it for so long and only have one line to write about my day? HEH.

Till then, I love you all long time. =)

...I want to be a Power Ranger. :D

Those were the GOOD old days. I'm not kidding. You could park me in front of the TV at 5 or 5:30 in the evening and put on TV1 or TV2 or something to that effect and I would be fine. Because at one of those time slots on one of those TV channels was Power Rangers. Omgyay! :P

Tell me you have not watched a single episode of Power Rangers, or sang the theme song before, or owned some Power Ranger toys or pretended that you were one of them before, and I'd look at you like you were crazy and not from this generation.

Yeong Kok and I were discussing Power Rangers during one of the Marketing lectures, because we weren't paying attention (c'mon, discussing nostalgic TV shows is so much better than marketing channels or whatever topic we were on for that lecture, duh) and surprisingly, we could remember quite a lot of stuff about the show. Their names, their weapons, what they looked like, their animal Zord thingymajib and lots of other stuff. It was mind-boggling, actually, how much we could recall.

Shows what a big impact it had on us. It might look really cheap and stupid when you watch the show back, but it was really something then, as a kid. And the new versions? Power Ranger Dino Thunder and all that other crappy spin-off shit that my nephews are watching? Cannot. Compare. To. THE. original.

And you know, I remember being really into this stuff. I wanted to BE the Pink Ranger and do gymnastics and kung-fu kick and all that stuff, and wanting a boyfriend like the White Ranger with a ponytail. LOL! Okay, so I took gimrama classes for about a year in Standard 1, but I don't like pink no more, and I really don't like long hair on guys, but that's not the point.

Anyway, guess what I stumbled across on Youtube which inspired this post? Come on now, sing it with me. You know you want to!



Go, go power rangers...mighty morphin' power ranger-erssssss!


Ahhh, doesn't it bring back the good old memories? Hee.


P/S: And yes Xue, this was what I was talking about before we got distracted and starting bitching about England's football!
