I've found a friend who died for me

Hey.Havent been updating recently,due to the lack of a social life I havent got much to crap about.However,I have decided to take a leaf from my good friend to do something totally random.

10)Life in Singapore really sucks. I mean,in what other countries in the world is society so results-driven?In Singapore,when a stranger meets you,the first thing they ask is "What school are you from?"If your answer isn't a well-known school,you're most likely slapped with a cannot-make-it tag.Why is the name of you school so important?Arent we taught to be immaterialistic?Werent we always taught by teachers to not judge a book by its cover?so why doesnt this apply in this area?

9)Taylor Hicks won American Idol.And damn he should have.But I'm still sore about the Chris thingie.I repeat,HE WAS SCREWED.And the shocker wasnt the first.There was Constantine,who damn sure should have gotten way further.Something just has to change in order for this to stop.What if a person totally blows the judges away but has a low fan base?Does that mean he should be kicked out over some one who murdered the songs but has a way high fan base?What logic is that?People,we've already seen what that can do.Remember Sly Sim?

8)World Cup starts in a mere 2 days.And I'm looking forward to it.Its the only tournament worth watching,not counting European Championships and Uefa Champions League.Point is,how often do you get representatives from all over the world in one country to challenge themselves to see who's best?And this tournament is the one thing that links football fans all over the world.And the countries which qualify need not be the most obvious.Like Angola,Togo,Ghana,Trinidad&Tobago,Ivory Coast.You'd never imagine them in the finals of an Olympic event or any other international sporting event.And just to balance it off,countries which are missing out are really surprising,like China,Turkey,Rep.of Ireland and Greece.On the other hand,which tournament provides such unique names inscribed on the trophy.Names like Argentina and Brazil and Uruguay.That's the magic of the World Cup.

7)Now.Many of my classmates have told me to delete a certain previous post.Here's what I think.I'll post what I see fit on my blog.And I'll delete posts when I like,not when people demand that I do.If you don't like what's here,then I'm sorry.All posts should be taken with a pinch of salt.

6)Lately I've been doing some thinking.What would my life have been like if certain choices hadn't been made.Like if I really did get better grades for my PSLE.On one hand I can have better relationships with my pri sch classmates, but that would probably mean I wouldnt know so many special people in NCHS.Old friends or new?For me, the choice is simple. I wouldnt give up my current friends in NCHS for anything.Maybe that's cos I didnt really click at all with 6A,save for a few.

5)I really need to have a better social life.My social life is practically zilch,and I only go out with CG and friends occasionally.I have seriously gotta start going out more often.Or I'm gonna suffocate at home.

4)What's it with people' attitudes and the school they study in?How come I always feel that ATS people are seriously stuck up and have a real problem with socializing in the real world?Why do people from 6A give me the feeling that they are always better than me?Is it cause I'm not in a famous or good school?Oh well.I just never clicked with them.I can't really blame them for forgetting me.But whenever I talk to them I have the feeling that they don't really rate me very highly.Wonder why.On the flip side,my peeps from NCHS are da bomb.They taught me to be down-to-earth and have a positive attitude.They indirectly helped me to trust in others wholeheartedly again.They showed me that grades isn't everything.They don't have everything,yet they seem wonderfully content with life.That's the life I want.Not the deadlines and hypocrisy that comes with "good" schools.

3)What's really important in life?Grades?Money?Job?No.I say the most important thing in life is having friends.Friends form the cornerstone of our lives.Without friends no one can be happy.Friends that are there when we are happy and sad,those that are willing to lend a shoulder when times are rough.Those peeps who won't leave you alone in your darkest hours.

2)Oh and a shout out to my beloved VIRGO..who gave me a very wonderful time during ATC.I went into it not being very enthusiastic but my group bonded so well that I was influenced too.I really took home some great memories.Hope that my group will continue to stay in touch.

1)I wanna tip my hat off to my friend KL.It takes guts to confront one's own flaws,let alone tell everyone.but that's exactly what he did.And I'll be the first to say,well done pal.I respect him for doing that.Haha.I know he's probably gonna see this so in order to stop inflating his ego(another potential flaw),I shall stop right here.

First up, I would like to declare that I'm officially on strike for the next week of AI. Cant believe that Chris was kicked out.Hmph.Based on last night's wonderful Elvis theme, I felt that Kat should have walked. But no, america decided to vote out Chris, who by my recognition, should have been given auto entry into final 2 based on last night's performance. Even Cowell tipped him to win. If Cowell, one of the meanest judges and best talent spotters around, can appraise Chris as "the only contestant ever not to conform", I believe that speaks volumes. If People like Rod Stewart and Queen and David Foster and Andrea Bocelli can praise someone so highly, that person MUST have quality.Why cant people accept that?Anyway, the epi showed the world that AI is a huge freaking popularity contest. Week after week after week we see the same two,Taylor and Eliot,being safe.Now I'm not rubbishing their talent but I feel that the concept should be altered. Like the judges being able to give scores and a slight percentage of it is taken into account as well. But that would totally ruin the concept of American Idol, the person chosen by Americans.

Moving on, my fave team's in 1st place this week!I personally had fun watching it cause I got to make up my own subtle hints at the request of my fave reality junkie,KarL.Haha.Somehow he couldnt figure out half of them.And he's in R-freaking-I.(Oops).Anyway, I feel that the race is hard to call and predict a winner, as all teams are relatively even-matched. This is so much unlike previous seasons when a winner was obvious from the minute the final 3 was decided.Remember Teri and Ian?Haha.However,I'll just say that I really liked BJ and Tyler this epi.The way they motivated each other to finish their "delicacies" made me wish I had friends like that.Hippies all the way man!Seems to me like Ray and Yolanda are also very strong. And they have an athletic background so if it comes down to a footrace to the finish line,they just might outlast the others.They have a great thing working for them-the underdog factor.If the other 2 teams underestimate them, they could spring a huge surprise.Eric and Jeremy complete the trifecta. And I feel that karma's gonna bite them in the ass.They had so much good luck at the beginning of the race. Which means that their luck's probably gonna run out or take a turn for the worse.Remember Rob and Amber?As I said,this race is too tight to call.

And now for Survivor.Well.With Terry failing to get numbers on his side (yet again),it means he'll have to rethink his strategy(yet again). However this might work for him if he gets to the final 2.He can say that he was the one underdog who faced the chopping block every ep unless he won immunity.Also,he did not have the numbers on his side at all.His argument can be that he NEVER directly caused anyone on the jury to be voted off.His constant failure to get a solid alliance means that he was alwayz on the minority side of the tribal vote and he didnt have to turn on his core alliance or backstab anyone. He played a good clean game and relied on himself to get there.Now what a wonderful closing argument speech that would make.Cirie,if like trailer shows,"stands up" to Terry, then that would virtually shoot down all her hopes of making it past final 3.As things stand,Terry has held the key to ultimate victory.He has already got the immunity idol.He can just go win the immunity challenge and pass the idol to someone else(I'm guessing Danielle). Then he'll use his double immunity power to knock on what I'm pretty sure would be Aras. Now if Aras REALLY goes and pick a fight with Terry,that would be pretty stupid of him.Especially if they wind up on the same team for teh reward challenge(which is virtually impossible).If it were up to me to predict, I'd say next to go would be Aras or Danielle.I think i'll be back in the morn to tidy up my thoughts.Time to snooze. Yawn.
