i kinda like anugerah last nite (though i wasnt really paying attention most of the time). For Once, i thought the judges have made the right decisions; shakila daughter of sumthing-khan (this suria actor whose name i keep fergetting) & fauzi lailee (nuthin' against him but too bad) were eliminated in this round. it's a shame really becuz i think these two delivered quite effectual performances: both showed originality & individuality in their renditions which were lacking in some of the other performers. hmmm.. the shariff fella shud be kicked out too; his facial contortions are just too unbearable to watch on television close-ups~! LOL Anyway, eka mairina once again was in fine form and so is crowd fave, prettyboy, azamullah. eka however, had the second highest number of 'hate' votes.. i wonder WHAT is it about her that audiences find so loathesome??? just because she's indonesian by descent & not a local? just because she's got excellent, faultless vocals? let's face it; this is a singing contest and her talent is unrivalled in this competition. she is obviously gonna be the winner but that shouldnt be held against her, should it? it's just unfortunate that true-blood singaporeans dont have as much edge (or talent, fer that matter) to even get a hair's-breath of her standards.
wheew~ am glad that i got THat out from my system at least. actually i had a funny (not the funny-haha kind but funny-weird kind) dream last nite. i dreamt i was having a camp or sumthing wif all my old secondary school frens. the most peculiar thing was that all of those inside were my manjen frens, whom i've not seen/met/talked to for ages and ages... those i'm stil in touch wif were not in it at all. what could this mean?? i'm sure dreams mean sumthing.. i've always believed that dreams are just an extension of our memories and a manifestation of our subconscious mind. sumtimes, our fears, our desires, our prejudices & other emotions are projected into the most peculiar forms in our dreams.. but whatever my dream could signify, i guess i shant brood over it.. to do so wud be just plain silly & takder kerja. ARGH~ that's EXActly my state of being right now!! *sigh* so takder kerja...
anyway, was supposed to go thru some problem sums wif my niece last nite after blogging but she apparently fell asleep. can u imagine?? at 9pm at night??? gosh.. i cant remember EVER a time when i slept so early. she had her math exam in school today.. i hope she'll pass! yes~ i'm worried! i guess if she doesnt, it'll be on my conscience becuz i was supposed to help her improve.. however, giving tuition to an absolute stranger is waaaayyy different frm teaching a close relation. sumhow or other, i juz lack the patience when it comes down to teaching my niece. she can be so AGGravating... now she's back frm school & bugging me to watch the smallville episode i've just downloaded (which i missed when i went to watch CAMP the other day).
small kids can be so adorable yet such a pain in the arse at times. case in point; 3-goin-4yr old Azie is at this very moment pretending she's on the fone when in reality she's holding the television remote to her ear. how cute~ ;-)
i think i shoud be more productive today. do sumthing beneficial... hmmm...
