Van Tango

Ahh...Venus Vs Maria. That should be a cracker semi-final. Davenport Vs Mauresmo is the other semi.

I like "Co-Star". One of the most melodious tunes from The Tears. Don't really paid much attention to the rest at this moment. It should be in the class of "Raga" which means = repeat * 1,000,000...

From the white stripes album, standout tracks include The Nurse, Instinct Blues and Take Take Take. Very innovative of them to use marimbas, maracas and piano this time round. One has to be very free and open in order to accept their new installment. First time hearing The Nurse, I was like "?????". But then, slowly it made some sense and became hooked on it. Instinct Blues is so garage-y especially when Meg smacks the drums in sync with the guitar hooks. Take Take Take is just different and cool...no drums too.

Pleasantly surprised that Noel has gone latin with the opening of Importance of Being Idle. A crowd favorite potential. Other standout tracks include Mucky Fingers, Let There Be Love, Guess God Thinks I'm Abel & Part of The Queue. At least the gang is now more interested in proper rock & roll. That is not to say S.o.t.s.o.g and
H.Chemistry are flops. Whoever said S.o.t.s.o.g was a failure are afraid to accept another dimension of the group. You don't go wrong with Gas Panic, Who Feels Love, F..kin in the Bushes, etc. H.C brought out Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Born on a Different Cloud and Hindu Times. It's just that the rest of the album showed a laziness to put more effort in songwriting. Don't Believe The Truth has five standout tracks for now. It ain't no Morning Glory or D.Maybe, but it showed that they want to conquer again. No more sitting back..

---What is the best John Grisham book?---

"The simple fact is that it takes women on average 12 mins and men two-and-a-half mins. Adjusting to that imbalance is a test."
Hmm, 2.5 sounds embarassing yah...

Akon's Lonely is a brilliant track. It reminded me of how Shaggy would sound like if he sings in proper english without the accent. The chipmunk chorus is very cute too.

Without sounding smug, moi needs to find the lost mojo. Why that has to happen, not too sure..a new rush maybe. The triathlon event this weekend sounds nice. Think can just pop in for the last 10km run since registration is over. Liberation party is on Sat though. Just have to see who coax me better to join which activity; a slacker mode in tune now.


Survivor Kaobehkaobu Episode Five
Last week on..Survivor. After Celine has been eliminated, Malu-Malu members made fun of her antics. It seemed that the move paid dividends as the tribe grew closer. Andrea was glad that she did not get voted off.
Andrea : "Would my time come soon?"
MissyE : "You do what you need to do, dear"
At Zho-Bo Lan, Shania & Blondie conspired a plan to get rid of the strong and powerful members, namely Robbie and 50. StevenT agreed that those two are good enough to win consecutive individual immunity in the future.
The reward challenge required both tribes to engage in a flying fox race. The determination of Malu-Malu was no match for the sheer power of Zho-Bo Lan. A large barrel containing clean water was sent to them.
Fran & Liam felt that Vanilla might not a loyal player, having seen him switch sides now and then. MissyE wants Belinda and Vanilla to keep an eye on Fran & Liam, who she suspect may try to get Andrea to join them in a 3 on 3 situation.
At the immunity challenge, the teams played out a blindfold and puzzle solving game. Due to a minor mistake by MissyE, Zho-Bo Lan emerged victorious.
Belinda asked Andrea who she wants out next, but got no clear response. Vanilla told MissyE & Belinda that it is best to take Fran out. Liam told MissyE that the tribe would be better off without Vanilla as he has been telling Fran that he wants her to go next.
At the tribal council, many stories came out regarding who said what. In the end, MissyE decided to believe Liam and voted Vanilla out of the game.

Jeff : "Vanilla, the tribe has spoken."
Vanilla : *Shakes head*

12 contestants left. Who will be next to go? *theme song*
