Stalkers. Ever experienced one? Ever been one? The reasons people stalk should be because (1) Having secret admirations for the particular individual. (2) They are spies paid to see what is going on in a person's private life (3) Paparazzi needing news should one be a famous/infamous icon.

Some people have mastered "the art of stalking" in one way or another. Getting to know what is going on behind someone's back may be a good or bad thing. Good in a sense that you know what the person is like in their private lives and bad because if you get caught, you'll be in deep shite. Suspicious husbands/wives may want to engage on spies to check whether their spouse has been having secret affairs. And of course the paparazzi always have their crew in the "right places" to bring us exclusive news.

The Bravery is coming to town soon. Having known about it in January this year, it does not surprise me that they have achieved success in the 'new-wave' rock scene. What is disturbing is that one local band, Electrico, will be the opening act. Hope they don't make a mess and embarass the main playing band.

The Departure has finally released their long awaited album, "Dirty Words". Been hooked on it since August 2004 when All Mapped Out was making it's music video debut. Skeptics dismissed them as a poor mans' Interpol and Franz. Well, how wrong were they. They released two more singles Be My Enemy and Lump in My Throat. And they toured in Japan...lucky %*#$(*Y@)#. The new album contains so many superb tracks I don't even know where to start. All are unique in their own way. Personally, I hope Only Human & Changing Pilots will be the future singles. They have deep jangling basslines and drums which is jamiroquai-ish that challenges the listener to stay still and not move with the grooves. Add that to the quintessential vocals, a masterpiece group is formed. Brett Anderson himself is a big fan of this band. Can't get any better than that ya..

Apparently, Liam is a big fan of "Feel Good Inc". Everyone knows about the rivalry of the 90s between him and Damon. During one of the big marathon concerts, when Gorillaz finished playing behind their usual cartoonish projection screens, Liam was asking Damon whether he's still there. And he said "Yah".. "Gotta go now". Damn cute manz the behaviour of these two big boys.

One artiste was so irate knowing "Ok Computer" was voted the best rock album of all time that he proclaimed that Thom has a "cabbage eye" due to staring at the computer screen too much when he was a kid. LMAO...

Bipolar Disorder - The high part of the mood is called "mania" (often times a euphoria) and the low part of the mood is depression. A bipolar person may feel a little down or up about an event in their lives, just as a normal person would, but unlike a normal person who would easily be able to shift their mood, a bipolar person would not be able to shift their mood easily. Their mood may intensify until it becomes a full-blown mania or a clinical depression at that point their mood could be "stuck" until it cycles again.

That is dangerous. Before anything else, one needs to learn how to be happy and positive in any situation. Not safe when this bipolar thingy takes control and eats your soul. Even when against all odds, it is always good find a solution that enables one to prevent the syndrome from creeping in.

Sarah Connor's new single "From Zero To Hero" is a very upbeat track...kinda like the early Aguilera.

Mel C & Mel B shouldn't have bothered producing new albums. The current pop music scene is totally out of their league now. Go marry some rich dude and settle down. Save us the trouble from hearing more crap.

How long do you spend checking yourself in the toilet? Was shocked to know some guys who spend about 20-30mins making sure their hairstyle, clothings, muscle, face, pose, smile, (make-up??) are in good order. That is extreme and beyond. The most I would spend is about 5-8mins. Why take a bloody long time in a loo? Unless of course if you aspire to be a 'Depp' or 'Keanu' clone and always felt something is not physically right then maybe it's normal...

If you really need to eat at night, avoid carbohydrate at all costs. Bread, biscuits and rice are bad choices. Try to take protein at night, chicken breast, tuna, etc.
