America's Next Top Model,the OTHER reality shows and a really suave guy :D

Just caught an episode of this other reality show. Sometimes I'm afraid that I might give up drama for real unscripted ones; but as long as shows like C.S.I are on air, I'm all for them. Back to what I was saying.In the past, audiences always complain about television drama not being realistic enough and how the actors needed acting classes etc etc...now we have real people in real (no bona fide. Man, that doubt 'slightly' altered for ratings) situations. Well, it kinda of takes the fun out of ACTING. Soon,there will be no more actors and the term "celebrity" will be re-categorised into: minor, premium,means the Oscars...will there be award shows like the Oscars any more?

It's a dilemma for me. I really enjoy Amazing Race, and for me, that is still THE best (and intelligent)reality show around. ANTM is entertaining but you know...it's in the deep dark side of all of us less-endowed ones to watch pretty babes get catty. Ladies included.

voy·eur·is·tic
Pronunciation: "vwä-(")y&r-'is-tik, "voi-&r-
Function: adjective
A person who derives sexual gratification from observing the naked bodies or sexual acts of others, especially from a secret vantage point.
An obsessive observer of sordid or sensational subjects.

I always thought it was voyeuristic to watch real (when the term 'real' is used, it means the rest of human beings who do not have the chance/opportunity to appear on screen, be it small or silver) people in real-scripted situations; you know, it just does not feel right. However, I've gone and checked out the meaning of 'voyeuristic', and have reached a conclusion that it is not the case at all. Sometimes, you just wish you can be like these 'real' people who get to be on Extreme Makeover and be made-over and pretty and be happy... isn't that cool?

This suave guy... he's just suave. My gawd. I cannot continue. He's in the line of Jim Caveizel and Hugh Jackman. I mean, in terms of acting and performance, he's still below par, but my fixation on him is like with the two actors above.

Holiday celebrate
Holiday celebrate --- 'Holiday' by Madonna

yes...sort of. No more frigging reports. No more nerds breathing down my neck, and driving the rest of us humans with lives to our graves! No more getting questions instead of answers when asking questions. No more~!!!

Just saw some pictures that my friend had taken when she was in Japan for six months.... man, I just want to be somewhere; don't have to be that far and Sentosa don't bloody count, ok! and Japan seems like a cool country to visit; the amazingly interesting 'freaks' with heavy KISS-like make-up and Halloween-like costumes gathered at a park meant for their kind of people... Every country has its attractions, more so for my friend (who speaks Japanese too) because cos her idol happens to be a Japanese :D

Next week, I'll be going to Malaysia to see my relatives, and also get away from here for a while before preparing for my exams. I don't know how to explain this, but now that my mum is not around, it's easier to plan for activities. Maybe I have been so attached to my mum, that even when I'm not in Singapore, I still think about her. What I feel and how I act, however, comes out totally wrong. Why am I saying these anyway? Interesting how one thing can lead to another.

Time to plan for my future. For starters, I've been given the task for save up a certain amount of money in six months. After which, I have to increase the amount. It's a good way to force me to save finally. I won't be getting any more allowances, and I simply cannot live from hand to mouth; spend all of my salary, then wait for the next paycheck. I don't know how others do it, but I'm going to try. Tough, but I'll try.

Adieu....~
