Graven Image ♥

I've been wanting to talk about the first week of Idol since the first episode aired on Wednesday evening! Unfortunately had a lot of work, too much was going on in my head. Still on the go! You know how it is when you have to postpone the excitement of wanting to tell. Trying to remember the contestants I saw & wanted to talk about. Grrr, memory loss.

Andrew Fenlon's one I couldn't forget. Despite walking in with a cocky air & pulling out the douche of an attitude, I thought he had one of the best voices of the first two episodes. Definitely heard a little John Mayer in those vocals, which makes it extra extra hott ;) As vexatious as he was, I somehow find him bizarrely attractive.



I totally get where Kara was coming from, coz it's understandable that the judges have been there the whole day facing the variety of human beings, up to the last person. And that person comes in & drops a MASSIVE attitude bomb. But am I the only one who found that spanking comment she made, erotically hilarious? Haha, Kara said "You need a spanking, very naughty", something like that. WTF? Hahahaha. I mean, I know what she meant, but the way she said it. Freakin' funny.

I especially liked Fenlon's exit, when he said "See you later Ladies", and walked out with his psycho smile. HAHA. I really hope he gives it another shot in another city. And maybe suck it up & actually wait patiently this time. His voice is worth voting for.

I thought Victoria Beckham was SUPER hott on the show. LOVE both her looks on the 2 days she judged. I don't get the harsh comments she's been getting on her participation. I don't think she was bad at all. It's not like she let sucky singers through to Hollywood. She was a rather spicy addition along the Idol journey :)

Lets see, who else was good. Justin Williams was okay. The guy who survived cancer. A lot of people seem to really like him. The country girl, Vanessa Woolf, she's something different. Reminds me of Jael on ANTM, haha. Curious to see how she does in Hollywood. I can't seem to remember anyone that stood out vocal-wise. I don't know, they might be better in Hollywood, but none really caught my ear yet. In terms of personality, I did like that nice guy who told Simon to shut up, can't remember his name but adorable much! The Miss Congeniality. Oh, and the church singer seems to possess potential, very soulful.

Every time Simon says, "I have a weird feeling that song's gonna be a hit", it does! Haha, pants on the ground! My sisters & I seriously couldn't stop repeating it after the audition. I like how Mary J Blige couldn't hold back from laughing at certain contestants. Reminds me of how I hold back during no-laughing matter situations. It's obdurate! :D

Speaking of Idol, have you seen Adam Lambert's new video for his song
'Whatya Want From Me'? Sexy as hell.



Found this video thanks to Erra. "He makes the best videos!", she says. AGREED!
Love the song, love the video.Watched it repeatedly. Unquestionably noteworthy :)

With Lambert love, you look like a fool with your pants on the ground!

Got Mail

Once in a while, I like to browse around MPH Online to check out book offers & stuff. Especially when I know I have extra cash in my account ;) Bought most of my books online anyway, coz somehow whenever I choose to chill at any one of the MPH stores, is when I'm broke. Ringgits on the other hand, just love to pop up in my bank account during my lazy-but-still-need-love phases. Hence, the online purchases & Qila is blithe :)

The first couple of weeks of 2010 has been pretty tense. So much to think about, it's all so overwhelming. At times like these, a shopaholic might go out & get herself a pair of shoes, I'll get myself a book or two. NOT! Haha well usually food, but just thought of getting something else. Like a good light read, so I can get my mind off of all the work sporadically. Did just that on Sunday. Browsed through the website, clicky here & there. And honkeroos, the mail man brought me my book today :)

It is The Last Chapter by Alicia Loh. She's only 13 years old & one heck of a writer. Read her blog Alicia Loh and she's got some pretty rad poems. Like young teens in general, she's a HUGE David Archuletta fan, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, Jesse McCartney, Disney & Nickelodeon, etc. Looks like we've got a lot in common minus David Archie, haha.

Yes, she's Malaysian & the book only costs RM15. It's pretty thin, about 70 pages a short novel. I haven't read it yet, but will fill in on it once I have. All purchases of The Last Chapter goes to her medical fund :)

Paid extra RM7 for the delivery, instead of a 15 minute drive to Midvalley to get it myself. That's how much of a pemalas I am. FML. Haha, nahh. CML. Cheer My Life. LOL. See what happens when you try to crap. Cheap crap comes out.

These past few months have got me thinking a LOT. Been feeling like I've come to a point where I need to start working on something. And that something is still left a cliff hanger. Something to do with birds & nests. Haha. Still need to be thought about, DEEPER thoughts. Coz maybe I've just been thinking too much & over exaggerating everything. Typical meh.

On an exciting note, a show I've been longing to follow this year, starts this Wednesday! American Idol Season 10! Whoots! So eager to see Ellen Degeneres share a table with Simon Cowell. I love Ellen. Can't express how gratified I am that Paula won't be there to tell people how shiny they are anymore. Even the guest judges look interesting. To top that off, Glee will be on Astro weekly, right after AI. Exciting :)

Just when life seems to be falling apart...

Going Out On A Limb

The past few weeks have been filled with fusses about what's to come in the New Year, resolutions, changes for a 'new beginning', etc. & the first post I produce to officiate 2010 is 'I'm A Tooth Fairy', haha. My bad. It was for a contest, I just had to send it in as soon as possible :)

Anyway, how was New Year's Eve?
I had quite a blast, coz I had both my Rocker bebehhs with me the whole day till after the countdown Spent NYE together for the first time at a Masquerade potluck party organized by Fareeza & Aliya, which turned out to be a pretty awesome event. Kudos! The food was good too, made my usual apple crumble pie ;) Good job, guys !


I noticed most new years posts have been about reflecting on the year before & new goals for the next. I was never really the kind to make resolutions for new years. Maybe just the typical 'to lose weight' goal which has never been achieved so far, & that does not count! HAHA. I guess I made a lot of not so focused mental goals. I thought of stuff but never really took them seriously. About a week ago, I was waiting for my mom to pick me up at campus I decided to take out my organizer & jot down some goals I felt NEEDED to be achieved.


I don't believe in making resolutions during new years. I mean, why not if you want to. But why wait for a year to end to be determined to make a change? This year however, needs serious change. Especially because the final semester before I (insyaAllah) graduate from my degree has paid its visit. I know it's like, almost the end of the journey for this particular destination & only NOW I'm thinking of major changes. But who doesn't, right? Similar last minute stage fright, Broadway analogy. Hahh. Time's pretty limited. Came up with a fairly LONG list that afternoon. Will I be able to achieve them? We'll just have to see.

I don't think listing them down here is necessary. But one of them was, "To take risks, take a leap of faith when needed". And God, have I taken the first step that might be the hugest risk I've ever taken in my life. It might do me good & I end up the proudest gal alive OR, I might have to battle the worst breakdown & consequences yet. Just the thought of it gives me chills down my spine. And of course, I play the major role in navigating it to turn out right, to make it the BEST decision ever. So, I'm all for it. Fingers crossed. Go me! :)

Bamboos were everywhere.

Started off my first premiere screening for the year a few days back. Paranormal Activity with Farah at Tropicana City Mall's GSC. Too lazy to do a review, coz I'm sure you've already heard a lot about it on TV & the net. It's been out in the States for a while now. I personally thought it was a good watch, though there were a few people who came out of the cinema saying it wasn't even scary, bla bla bla. Whatevs. It was my first time at Tropicana City, seems like a pretty fun hangout mall. Should go there more often, didn't get the chance to explore the place properly that night.

You've got to go out on a limb sometimes because that's where the fruit is.

I'm A Tooth Fairy

That's right, you read it crystal clear. The title says it all.
A tooth fairy I am, & this is how I roll :)

Wings of fire. Black fire. Whooo.

Usually around 10 p.m. I would stand by my Pillow-Got-Tooth device, that'll receive waves of information from the pillows of kids around the world that detect a tooth under them. By then, it would have already been pass bedtime for children worldwide. That marks my time to rock the airs on my air-board (like in Back To The Future *winks*).

Tooth planted under pillow, my time to shine.

As I traverse the air I'm free to let my wings out for stability, coz the wings are a trend among the tooth fairies, you see. Tooth fairies have got passion for fashion too. Uh-huh. It takes me up at most, 5 feet high, enough to fly off if seen by anyone. That's why I have the air board to go higher & faster, my gnarly form of transportation ;)

Tooth fairy in Converse baby! Whoots !

On my way to the first house, I reach for the Show Stopper Switch in my right pocket. *Click* And the time stops, the world freezes, stopping by means of a freeze-frame mechanism. The world is still & silent, not a sound, only my swift movement in & out of each house sheltering a child's fallen tooth. Each tooth is replaced with some money & a piece of candy, coz I'm cool like that ;)

When I'm done, the Show Stopper Switch is clicked again, and everything goes back to normal. Still the same time from when it was stopped. Nothing different from before, only a whole lot of kids who are delighted with their extra filled pillows. I return home, continue my awesome human life, looking forward to the nights to come.

I love my job. My gadgets, the Pillow-Got-Tooth detector, Air-board & Show Stopper switch never ceases to do me justice. Life's good. What can I say. I'm a Tooth Fairy :)

Amusement in White & Red


Love the videos posted on You Tube around this time of the year.
Like last year, I've picked a couple of favourites to be shared on here, so enjoy :)



Originally sung by Mariah Carey. As always, Sam nails every note.
Not that I know anything about music notes & hitting em the right way. Weehehe :)



Aww. I like how both the people I adore are in the same video. Haha. Michelle Obama looks stunning there. Obama himself looked pretty sleepy during the performance, tired I guess. He IS the President of the United States. Ha. Many were slightly surprised of the choice of having Justin Bieber, a 15 year old 'Teen Star' to perform for the President. Assumptions are, because of his daughters. I'm sure so. But then again , he is worthy of such honour.

See how Justin constantly switches his hands holding the mic. In the description for this video, he wrote : It was an incredible honor and I was really nervous. You can tell by my hands, I didnt know what to do with them. I was like Will Ferrell in Talladega Nights. haha. LOL. So cute :D As mentioned in the video, the song was originally sung by Stevie Wonder :)

Merry Christmas to all celebrating :D
