I was watching tv the other day and i have to say, it just made me roll on the floor laughing. it was a reality show to find the lead actor for a musical. the title was joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat. the show itself was quite entertaining but didn't make me burst with mirth.
noooooooo, it was the ending! the ending where one unlucky contestant comes to the end of his quest for fame. it started out normal enough, the poor soul's name gets announced and then they take a look back at his journey thus far. hehe after that, all the remaining contestants grouped around and performed a farewell song for him. the opening lines were.......'oh joseph, what will you do now.'
hahahahahahaha now, if that isn't rubbing salt into the wound, i don't know what is. it was hilarious!!! i didn't know if it was a real song or if it was especially penned for the finale after a contestant is booted out. was my first time watching. and if that was not enough, sometime later in the song, the other guys proceeded to strip him of his beautiful, shiny, coat........effectively stating the obvious fact that he's out of the competition.
sigh, i've never enjoyed an elimination so much. i really take my hats off to the ppl that thought of this. it has truly made my day.

To talk or not to talk.........
It's amazing how some people always say that honesty is the best policy and that we should 'get it off our chest' by voicing our frustrations. But sometimes, don't you come across certain people and think ' just shut the **** up!'.
to talk or not to talk..........the million dollar question. I'm sure that around the world, millions of men are wishing that their other halves would just take pity and TELL them what the problem is, instead of making them figure it out themselves, while they stew and bubble away, preparing for total meltdown.
and then, there's the people who know other people that just will not shut up and babble away, expressing every thought and feeling!! i mean, get a grip!!! and not to forget those who have no tact whatsoever in their entire body and just blurt out what's in their minds. sigh, brain before mouth dearie. think about it first, then let it out. it's not rocket science.
I suppose the only solution is to accept the fact that certain situations call for different solutions. we need to know when to talk and when to listen. we need to accept the fact that our actions will have consequences and affect the people around us.
so for all those people out there, take a good look around u and see if ur unwillingness to voice ur frustrations is hurting those around you. and for those who share too much, learn when to just listen to others. u'll be surprised at what you hear.

T.G.F.M.W
Hihi it's me again and I write this in great excitement and amusement. I have just been to the Mr World website and let me say without embarressment that it's really perked me up a lot!
haha i was beginning to consider sticking my head in the oven after studying formulations and pharmaceutics when I saw the news announcing the winner on the BBC website. Decided to google Mr World on the internet and got the homepage of the contest. Sigh, I think I'm in heaven. hahahahahaha
ok so most people by now will think I'm this ultra hormonal girl and well, you wouldn't be far off. But I prefer to think of myself as an art lover who loves looking at beautiful pictures. To me, a good looking person, male or female, is like a work of art. Torn apart, they may have not so beautiful features but put together, they're a joy to look at. Yea, yea I'm in denial. You don't disturb me in my la-la-land and I won't disturb you in yours. ;)
Which brings me to my amusement while flipping through the pictures. I was a little sceptical that they were all so good looking and in the peak of health (judging from the look of their six-pack!). I mean, how can these people look so good!!! And then it hit me that this probably comes at a price. Imagine all the hours working out at the gym and eating healthily! I'd probably last for oh,about an hour and then I'll just give in and reach for the nearest muffin.
Mr World is to the men what Miss World is to women. ok duh! anyone could see that. But did anyone watch the contest!?!!? The winner was actually crying when he won! Hehe I didn't know men actually cried that easily. Well, maybe this is the era of the metrosexual man who is in touch with his feelings. My mind is still stuck in the dark ages where men didn't cry or do anything emotional. Was amused to see them kissing each other and the amount of hugging going around!!!!
Sigh, a whole stage full of super good looking men, with all the atributes a most eligible bachelor would have. Man, what I wouldn't give to be a piece of confetti on that stage.

Solitude
I've always wondered what the joy was in eating alone. I try to never eat alone if I can help it. Even in uni, when lunch time comes I always drag a victim to eat with, willing or unwilling. There's an episode in 'Friends' where Rachel eats alone and discovers the joy of spending time with herself but then this cute guy she's interested in thinks she's a loser for eating alone.
Is it just eating alone or does it apply to everything we do? I never liked doing anything alone until the time came when I didn't have a choice. Over time, my friends and I went on different paths and now I find myself without a partner in crime. I've taken to shopping alone and sometimes eating alone. In fact, I do everything by myself! I didn't like it at first and I still don't enjoy it per se but there IS a feeling of......well, it's a pleasant feeling.
I don't know if it's because I surrounded by people everyday so I relish the time I have by myself. But lately, I find myself enjoying the solitude more and more. When shopping, I like the fact that I can just dart in and out of shops at will without having to yell at someone to stop and change course. There's no pressure to make small talk when you're feeling tired. I also like the silence when there's no one talking nonsense to you when you just want to relax and daydream.
However, on the down side, it's is boring not having someone by your side while you poke fun at the latest fashion or while you cringe at the multi-colored hair of the punk teen skating by. During lunch, there's no one to make silly jokes with or just chat nonsense with.
Although I sometimes dread it, I have learned to embrace the solitude and hope my newfound enjoyment of it does not mean I'm on my way to being a hermit.
