thankyouLord
Good news came when i least expected it :)i think i allowed life to go on, and in retrospect that was the best piece of advice ive received in a while.

America ain't Heartless after all
i think adam lost not because he wasn't fantastic, but because he was too perfect throughout the competition- most of the time it was perfect technique, perfect pitch, perfect stage presence, perfect song choice. maybe a little imperfection would have worked, as it did in the case of kris :) he prolly makes us feel as human as he is. besides, i feel that moms dads grannies teenagers kids are all likely to buy kris' album, but not as many will buy adam's.sigh. as AI, amazing race, ANTM, survivor have ended their run for the year, this reality show junkie here is feeling a lil deprived. but ohyes, there's SYTYCD coming up :)
by the way, it totally sucks to fall ill at this point in time. slight panic was written all over the receptionist's face when i said i'm running a fever, and she looked more worried when my temperature turned out to be 39 deg. the doctor also scrambled for a mask before examining me. anyway it is believed to be a case of food poisoning, which set off the high fever. i don't know if it's one of the stalls at suntec food republic or that at ps foodcourt that turned my stomach inside out, but i will definitely think twice before visiting them again.

this kid's got talent!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nz73UPzktQcoolest kid i've ever seen! the groove, the looks, the outfit...WOW. imagine a Singaporean kid prancing around the house doing that all day, his folks will prolly just tell him to stop wasting time and whisk him off to tuition classes or something instead! x)
btw, coincidentally the song in the background is One too haha.

One :)
another U2 masterpiece that leaves me simply speechless. ahh.Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
One

what keeps me up past midnight
put a hip-hop dancer and a contemporary dancer together, and no one could prolly imagine a samba routine dished out just like that. are we human, or are we dancer? haha okay no link, but they are so not human they are insanely out-of-this-world good! gosh. i've watched this season a million times over and i'm still watching it! can't wait for season 5. oh, which reminds me. our Dance Floor simply couldn't hold a torch to SYTYCD. i don't remember who won, who came close to winning, or even who the better ones were.
as for AI, i'm sad that allison went home today. but maybe finishing fourth isn't that bad after all. look at daughtry- he looks 5 years YOUNGER now (even without hair), with a quadruple platimum album under his belt, sounding more seasoned than ever. ohman. watching his new single debut today, my jaw kinda dropped (but not as much as kara's did each time adam goes on stage haha!) in awe.

moments like these remind me all over again that, well, i'm only human.the beatles say it best- take a sad song and make it better. so on the bright side, the long wait for summer break is over at last.

permanent
Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?Forgive my broken promise that you’ll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won’t go away today
Will you think that you’re all alone
When no one’s there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head
I’m permanent
I know he’s living in hell every single day
And so I ask oh God is there some way for me to take his place
And when they say just touch and go I wish I could make it go away
But still you say
Will you think that you’re all alone when no one’s there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head
I’m permanent
I’m permanent
Is the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise that you’ll never see me cry

so what makes a truly great amazing artiste? musicality, technique and showmanship are of cos a must. but i especially like artistes with soul. people who have stories to share every time, in a song, in a performance. it comes with life experiences i guess.
