There will be fewer places for smokers to light up soon. Smokers have to stub out at coffee shops and hawker centres from July next year and it will be the same for entertainment outlets as well by July 2007. We don't have to endure second-hand smoke when the ban starts at coffee shops and hawker centres next year. Hawker associations and coffee shop owners would have to decide whether to set up a smoking corner just for them, away from the non-smoking area. Hmmm, I can imagine the Ah-Pek Taukehs being up in arms regarding this new implementation. But it is good news for those second-hand smoking victims, especially the kids and the healthy lifestyle personnel.

The object awkwardly known as 2003UB313 orbits the Sun in the Kuiper Belt, at the farthest edge of the Solar System. Its orbit is eccentric, and tilted from the mean orbital plane of the planets. It is extremely distant - three times further away from the Sun than Pluto, the 9th and outermost planet. This 2003UB313 is bigger than Pluto and is about three times farther away from the Sun than Pluto. - And I...begin to wonder. Is there life on this planet?

Liam Howlett of The Prodigy has revealed the group are working on a new album. He said the band are desperate to release the album as soon as possible to prove they are still a force after the poor reaction to last year's 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'. "Now we're back together as three people, being on the road is a good place to write music.The tracks will take a few more months to get right, but we're thinking the end of next year". It's true; A.O.N.O is a bit of a let down. The favorite ones would include Spitfire, Shoot Down and Medusa's Path. Other tracks don't have the quality that is expected from them. Hope the next album will be the real 'Firestarter'.

Primal Scream bassist Mani claims Liam Gallagher has the best shoes in rock.
The wild rocker says he is always impressed by the Oasis singer's designer footwear and claims there is no other musician who comes close to matching him for style. What the hell? Shoes??
He said: "Liam has the best shoes, I think. They say if you want to see the mark of a man, check out his shoes first, Well, Liam has great shoes. Liam knows about it". Mani needs to see a psychiatrist soon...

Christina has turned down a cameo in The Simpsons. The blonde was offered a part in the latest series but snubbed the offer. Producers had wanted the 'Dirrty' singer to play an aspiring pop star competing in a parody of US TV talent show American Idol. However, Christina, 24, rejected the part forcing producers to look elsewhere. Come on, reach out for 'the voice within', because being a guest star alongside Homer & gang is always 'what a girl wants'.

Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to strip off naked for her next film role. The sexy actress admits she is desperate to bare all on the big screen before she hits 30 so her fans can see her in her prime. Gellar, who shot to fame in the hit US TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer, hopes her naked ambition will convince directors to cast her in more racy roles so she can shake off her teen star image. When quizzed on the subject, she said: "I am approaching 30 and I need a change.
The sort of roles I would like are not being offered, so this way might just shock people into choosing me". Alright, shock all you want. Nobody's complaining. That includes the monsters and demons too.. You should ask Willow to tag along. Always good to have moral support yah?

Al Pacino is rumoured to be romancing 'Charmed' actress Rose McGowan - who is 34 years his junior. The 65-year-old Hollywood legend has reportedly wooed the 31-year-old beauty, who plays sexy witch Paige Halliwell in the hit TV series, after a date at Los Angeles restaurant Mortons.
A source revealed to America's Us Weekly magazine: "She thought he was too old for her at first, but Al won her over". Rose - who was once engaged to shock rocker Marilyn Manson - is not the first much younger woman that Pacino has dated. This Pacino dude makes Rod Stewart look like a saint. Wonder what 'magic' tricks he used on Paige?? I think his voice is enough to magnetize any lady..

The Cribs - New Fella's album : Track No.3 Martell
This the Martell song that I liked a lot.

Dannii and Fragma should work as a duo in the future as both have the same music vibes. Aussie & Danish combination. Nice.

Atomic Kitten are getting back together. Natasha Hamilton, Jenny Frost and Liz McClarnon are planning to record a new album towards the end of the year and then go on tour. It feels so good to know that their tide is still high, and I just knew that it wasn't the last goodbye like what others have predicted. Oh yes, it's ladies night...

According to The New York Daily News, Jennifer Garner's pregnancy is to be written into her TV show Alias. Stephen McPherson, the programming chief of ABC, says: "We are going to embrace the fact that she's pregnant. We also don't want to put her in situations where she's endangering herself and the baby." - Wow, wonder what kind of scripts they have prepared for her. Undercover impersonator for a normal civilian who is pregnant?

Paramount's Nickelodeon Movies is doing a CGI animated Smurfs trilogy which is currently in the works and set to debut in 2008. The Smurfs started in 1958 in Europe, but only became popular in the United States after the cartoon show in the 1980's. - So many retro shows coming back to our screens. What next - McGvyer, Get Smart and Nightrider?

Brett spilled the beans on the possible choice for their third single, confirmed the band will be hitting the road again soon and verified he’d be dealing with any Suede fans who fancy a bit of 'Animal Nitrate'. “It’ll possibly be Apollo 13", Anderson hinted, “Which is probably the finest song on the record. I think it’s important to put out good stuff, and I’m interested in people hearing quality work regardless of whether it fits into a radio format. It's just important that it’s a great song, to be honest." Alright. I like that song too. Very melodious track. Nothing about chasing the dragons again I suppose..

The Strokes Third Album-Song By Song Exclusive Sneek Peek

FHM Music TV
The Top 3 Sexiest Videos are:
1. Christina Aguilera - Dirrty
2. Eric Prydz - Call On Me
3. Benny Benassi - Satisfaction

To be honest, I preferred Xtina to be in her 'Come On Over' and 'What a Girl Wants' persona. Leave the slutty dancing to Bitchney, Lindsay, etc. But of course, she looks fantastic in that video. Stupid song though.
Eric Prydz's Call On Me is an okay song of 2004 showcasing women in the gym i think dancing in a very suggestive manner. Satisfaction is a haunting dance song that will make you repeat the chorus even when you're not listening to it. The video contains women in very tight sexy clothings holding mechanical tools and drilling on wood & metal if i remembered properly...was released in Jul 03.

Damon Albarn has lashed out at Pete Doherty - branding him a "mess" and slating his performance at Live8. The Blur singer says he’s planning a "Make Doherty History" campaign. Hahaha...You won't find Damon inviting Pete to his country house for some coffee & tv anytime soon. He really "can't stand him now".

The new Cardigans single: "I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer" will be released on October 4th.

Parking Lot Pimps is a waste of time.

Survivor Kaobehkaobu Episode Nine
Last week on..Survivor. After AliG has departed, the old Zho-Bo Lan tribe makes up five of the final nine in the Mabokai tribe. Hillary asked Belinda whether Andrea, Liam and Fran can be trusted.
Hillary : "Did you place a lot of trust on those 3?"
Belinda : "Beware of Fran. I think he can be very conniving at times. I'm now more concerned about the Robb and Andrea situation. They can change this game."
Hillary : "That is so true."
StevenT, 50, Liam and Fran discussed a possibiliy of them being the final four. 50 thinks that they got to get rid of Robb first as he is a powerhouse in physical challenges.
At the reward challenge, the survivors were treated to a cash trade game. Andrea got the best deal with a large sirloin steak and wine, Shania & Liam won the mystery item of a letter from home, and the least exciting trade fell to StevenT who got himself a glass of milk.
Andrea told everyone of how great the steak was, getting on the nerves of some of them. Shania had a heartfelt moment reading the letter from her family, as was Liam. Hillary joked with StevenT that he may have stomach problems from the expired milk.
At the individual immunity challenge, the survivors was put on a Q & A test on the history of Kaobehkaobu. Each right answer allowed one to hit the other survivors' clay mask, where 3 hits on it means the end of the challenge. 50 won the immunity with his mask being the last one standing. Robb congratulated 50 and asked him on who he wants to vote out next.
50 : "Don't know for now. Maybe will tell ya later."
Liam told Andrea that Belinda may change her alliance towards Hillary and Shania but Andrea did not believe him. StevenT told Shania about removing Robb next but she preferred to get rid of Fran.
At the tribal council, Robb was spared as StevenT stayed true to his alleged alliance with the guys and voted Shania out of the game.

Jeff : "Shania, the tribe has spoken."
Shania : "I did not expect this at all."

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

Make your own Coldplay X&Y coding here.

Levy - There's a cool new band on the block worth checking out who go by the name of Levy. They are from NYC...So if you like Interpol, this one should be explored. -- Rotten Love / On The Dance Floor

Shocking people is always fun to do. I don't mean 'boo!'-ing them from the back. More like doing things nobody expect me to do. That is so cool to execute. It's like a Dick Tracy role mixed with Stone Cold's unpredictability. When no one expects you to be doing some unusual stuff, the plan is carried out. "What the...", "You did that?", "Sure or not...Goodness, really eh?". Hahahaha....

*Horrible upper body dancing to that song*

There was one time in the train where a {;#&%(!@ foreign worker who was with his gang of friends entered and made life hell for me as a commuter. That idiot turned and shifted his body every other minute for don't know what reason. His arm kept hitting me, and though I tried to adjust myself so that the idiot won't hit me anymore but was in vain. Luckily, me next stop is only another 5-7 mins away. Endure the suffering, I did. So when it was time to alight, I slowly stomped that fooker's foot so hard till he felt some pain. Served him right. If only I was able to release the deadly silent fart then...

$400,000 invested to change and then keep the same name 'Marina Bay'. *shakes head*

The guitar intro of 'Part Of The Queue' has the same vibes like the intro of 'Love Will Come Through'.

Edgar Davids has devalued himself by joining the white jerseys club of North London. Maybe he likes to play in London and the likes of Charlton, Fulham & West Ham has not enough dough to splash out. So he half-heartly joined the Jol gang. The Reds are on a roll with six wins out of six from friendlies and euro competition. Mr Moyes can't sleep well as his mind is on the chance of getting the 'cursed' tie with his neighbouring club. That botak P.Kenyon is flirting with the Lyon's officials everyday to make Essien a blue next season. Freddie Lunch-box will stay a Gooner till '09. All female species can enjoy the sight of his soccer 'package' skills till then.
Manyoo has no activities in the transfer market at the moment until they collected enough Asian Tour $$$ profits.

Donnie Brasco movie is based on the true story of FBI agent Joe Pistone (Johnny Depp), who went undercover and infiltrated the New York City mob during the late 1970s. Joe, who went by the name of "Donnie Brasco", played his role so effectively that he rose to extraordinary heights within the organization, holding a place alongside his mentor, Lefty (Al Pacino), in the inner circle of boss Sonny Black. But, the more time he spent with members of the Mafia, the more like them he became. And, after a while, Joe could no longer tell where his true loyalties lay: to his wife, family, and government, or to the wiseguys who had adopted him into their exclusive club and lifestyle. - Chanced upon this book recently and after browsing it, thought it to be a very interesting show, based on real life drama. Must go find this particular dvd somewhere...

For those who watch The Apprentice 3, I think that Audrey looked like the stunning Eva Mendes. Hard to concentrate on the show when this Audrey starts communicating with the rest. John Gafford, the big man who argued with the useless Brian last week, reminds me of chubby version of Elvis. Erin Elmore, that long haired lady with big eyes is what Ashlee Simpson would look like in about 8-10 years time. Don't have a favourite contestant at the moment but I hope Danny boy will stay longer so that I can hear his guitar entertainment antics.

Booker T is fine with a triple threat match, but JBL's not down with it - "I don't even know what down means."

The Tears album sampler here.
The Raveonettes album sampler here.

Me favourite songs from The Tears are - CO-STAR, Lovers, The Ghost Of You & Apollo 13.
The Raveonettes 'Love In A Trashcan' is their new single.

Pretty In Black album is like shopping in a vintage store: full of great looking items that you want to pick up and handle and that you can get excited and wistful about; you want to buy something and get it home. I think they are heavily influenced by '50s rock & roll, with excellent Chuck Berry-inspired guitar tones and solos, moody surf meandering classic '50s film-worthy heartbreak moments. Lovely.

Liverpudlian band - Echo and the Bunnymen
But while the Beatles have gone their separate ways, Ian McCulloch and company are nine albums into their career and still going strong. Their latest masterpiece, a new album entitled "Siberia", is a work spanning roughly 26 years of music that has influenced the likes of Coldplay, The Verve, and Interpol. The release date for Siberia is late Sept. I like this band a lot. Didn't know they are still around.

In a music scene swamped with imitators of the trademark Gang of Four sound, the original lineup came together to record a new album for the first time in over 20 years. The result is "Return The Gift", due out Oct 11
How come these uncles want to come back again? Maybe they can't stand the new generation ripping their sounds and wants to show the world who the real daddies are.

Editors - The Back Room
Sources indicate that Interpol, Joy Division and Echo & The Bunnymen influences that can be heard in this album. The Back Room is characterised by thick, prominent basslines, insistent drums, twinkling guitar and a baritone voice. The four-piece set out as a band in 2003, looking to combine the rock 'n' roll edge of The Strokes and the delicate beauty Elbow. Barely two years later, they have created one of the finest debut records of the year. Is that so? Hmm...let me jump into the 'I heard it first' queue then.

Scouse four-piece The Stands eagerly released their debut album, All Years Leaving. It was greeted with indifference, and ultimately criticised for sounding derivative, and lacking variation in mood and setting of the music. However, The Stands made sure they wedged their foot in the door before it slammed in their face, and won over the likes of Noel G, The Zutons and fellow Liverpudlians, The Coral. So with the release of their second album, Horse Fabulous, The Stands are looking to sway the polarised views of the people, in search of the recognition they perhaps feel they deserve. Hugely underrated band. It's a shame that few heard of them.

Crazy Frog - "Presents Crazy Hits" album. For those of you who haven't been living on a desert island free from any interaction with the human race you won't know a thing about the Crazy Frog. A computer generated thing that doesn't look much like a frog at all has been invading our lives. Approximately every other hour, this little animation dances around our screens with his nether regions sometimes blacked out. Bing-bing!

Indie's favorite Bohemians, The Dandy Warhols are back in the limelight with the impending release of their fifth album Odditorium or Warlords of Mars, which will be released on September 13.

Kazayuki Toda is a good, quality footballer.

Haven't been listening to Techno(the Ah-Beng type) for some donkey weeks. Wonder what are the new good songs...

What if you mix Franz & Kidz-Bob together?...You get this.

The new season of America's Next Top Model has started. I'm glad that five of me favourite from the initial 35 people went on to be part of the final 12. Woo Hoo! Naima looks like Sam Endicott's lil sis because she has the same hairstyle; Sarah was once a tomboy; Brittany is nice to look at; Kahlen is a sweetie pie and finally the wonderful Tatiana...i like her name a lot. One of them has a "sheeaa-shuay" waistline so I don't know what the hell she is doing there in the initial grouping. Hate it when a few of them went berserk at times. That can be done once you win the competition.

Foo Fighters are getting too loud for their own good. Missed their good old 'Big Me' and 'Learn To Fly' days. And the beards don't suit the band, Dave.

"Clap Your Hands Say Yeah" is a very cool band. I like this song In This Home On Ice.

LCD Soundsystem has some addictive tracks especially this song called Movement.

I don't watch this Las Vegas gambling show but once the Buble man was advertised for this particular episode, an exception was made. Don't know what the hell he is up to performing miming and magic tricks but the highlight was when he belted out the timeless classic Come Fly With Me. That song is a scary track to open mainly because nothing else will be playing for the next couple of hours...

Joey : What am I gonna do, I feel like I'm losing my friends.
Dakota : My parents say I'm gonna make new friends.
Joey : Oh, yeah, sure, easy for you, you're young. Me, I'm set in my ways.
Dakota : That is what my mom was talking about. Whiners are wieners.
*Joey glares at her angrily*

Hmm, some people regard Pete Doherty as an icon like Cobain. Though the latter revolutionized music, most of his stuff especially the early albums are not to me liking. Seems like Kate and Pete are having an on/off rollercoaster relt at the present moment. Certain sources indicated that B.Shambles members have fallen out with the lead singer. It's just too bad if that is true coz the poetry lyrics that he wrote impressed moi a lot. Carl Barat and Graham Coxon performed at some gig as a duo recently.

I heard a rumour since May this year that Keren & Sara still feels 'young at heart' and quitting has been the last thing on their minds. Even though the Spice & Aloud gang has dominated the world, they still believe that their loyal Venus fans wants more, more, more of their love, truth and honesty. Only you can set me free, and i want you back, don't care what you girls have to do. So now, they released a new single called Move In My Direction. - "We’re like teenagers, always giggling and being mischievous. We even lay around sending stupid texts to people. It’s probably time we grew up!"

-- And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. --

Check these out :
Timo Maas - Like Siamese
The Ordinary Boys - Skull And Bones ; Don't Live Too Fast
Mando Diao - Added Family

Timo Maas new album "Pictures" features guests like Brian Molko, Neneh Cherry (seven seconds) and Kelis(whose milkshake brought all the boys to the yard??). There are many kinds of inspirations from dance, hip-hop and rock. Besides his single 'Pictures', another track to take note of is 'Like Siamese'. It got me hooked from the first few seconds. Brian provided the vocals on some issues then comparing it to a Siamese. Very addictive track.

The Ordinary Boys has been around for some time but has drifted in and out of the limelight. Their new album, Brassbound, is a mix of some ska elements and their normal sounds. You can imagine them to be the cousins of The Kaiser Chiefs who are currently gaining popularity after performing at the Live8 in the US. Two tracks that interest me are Skull & Bones and Don't Live Too Fast. Don't know how to describe it but if you mix Blur with Madness, then these two songs should be the end product.

Mando Diao is the 'serious' rock n roll version if you compare them to The Hives(hate to say i told u so..) who are both from Sweden. I can sense a very early Oasis(b4 Definitely Maybe..yes they have unheard songs too) influence in this Mando Diao. Was very impressed when "Sheepdog" was shown on MTV few years back. Hurricane Bar is their second album and it contains many fantastic catchy tracks that may get you thinking whether they gathered Noel G, Ian Brown & Ray Davies to help them write these tunes. One big highlight personally was this song 'Added Family'. It starts with someone humming then the lazy vocals came in, then the beat changes at the chorus but makes it so soothing to the ears. Btw, always wondered what their band name means. Oh yah, their dressing is very rock n roll too. Long black jackets like those worn in the 80s detective shows. You will get heat stroke if you walk around with that attire in here...

Saw the photo gallery exhibition depicting the years gone by as part of the upcoming National Day celebration. There were many incidents like rioting, hotel new world collapse, high profile murder/illegal gambling cases, Michael Fay's caning and one about Dutch parents giving away their daughter to the locals here during the World War II and wanted to take her back after it ended, which caused a big chaos amongst the people. Forgotten her name. Darn.

There was a drug-awareness campaign going on at the Youth Park. Didn't know it was scheduled, but anyways came to watch Ronin perform. Was a bit early, so we all had to be entertained by a very interesting Chinese Rock singing band. The vocalist looks like one of me mate but without the long hair. His screaming at times were quite funny, but don't think it's fair to laugh at his effort to entertain the crowd. Then Ronin came on and did their usual thing. Hard rock not really me cup of tea but it is good quality local music. Pug Jelly are you listening?

Goldfrapp's Ooh La La is very haunting and melodious. Can't stop repeating the bloody chorus and it's very tiring to have the mind set on listening to it on repeat. If this is the kind of quality her new album will possess, the cd might get heat overdose from over-spinning. I need a la-la-la-la-la-la..i need a ooh-laa-la-la-la-laa...

Figo looked likely to stay at the Real and Owen is not sleeping well with the arrival of this boy called Robinho. Served him right for looking down on Rafa last year. He can plead on his knees but Anfield don't welcome traitors. Roy Keane may have an argument with the ManYoo management over some issues concerning the Asian Trip. Haa-ha! Robert 'Diver' Pires looked to be staying, according to Arsene. Hoped Looney and him have some WWE incident next season.


Survivor Kaobehkaobu Episode Eight
Last week on..Survivor. After MissyE was voted out, Andrea had mixed feelings about her position and told Fran about it. He pointed out that the Malu-Malu members should stick together first.
At the other camp, Shania pondered to the rest on how 50 is coping.
Shania : "Is he smart enough to get more inside info for his own keeping?"
Robb : "Then he is one smart aleck."
StevenT : "Hope he shares it with us when we get to meet again."
At the reward challenge,
Jeff : "Everyone drop your buffs."
The complexion of the game changed when the two tribes merged and came out with a new tribe name,
Mabokai. Individual reward and immunity challenges are implemented from then on. The first individual reward consists of tribe members being randomly paired and competed in the underwater swimming maze game. The team of AliG and Belinda were the first to come back with all the items, winning themselves a car each. When the team came back to their preferred old Zho-Bo Lan camp, a feast awaited them.
StevenT : "A toast to the Mabokai tribe!"
Robb became close to Andrea, prompting suspicious eyes from the rest. Fran, Liam and AliG looked a tight bond, whereas Hillary, Shania, Belinda mingled like long lost cousins. 50 told StevenT that he was glad there was a merge, cause he might be the next cut if he were to remain at Malu-Malu.
At the first individual immunity, all members were made to stand on top of a wooden pole where the last standing player will earn immunity. Temptations were high when pizzas, ice cream and all sorts of items were up for grabs in return of jumping down from the pole. In the end, amazingly, Shania won the individual immunity.
The Mabokai tribe had many small cliques and there were decisions of almost four to five members names in the air to be the next cut. At the tribal challenge, 4 votes were cast against one person which proved enough..and the unlucky person is AliG.

Jeff : "AliG, the tribe has spoken."
AliG : "Has been fun. Ta ta!"

9 contestants, seven of which will be part of the jury, are left. Who will be next to go? *theme song*

Was reading an article on this Mr Brown admitting he is still young.
Mentioned that he listens to John Mayer and still purchase Star Wars collections. Hmm..that got me thinking.
I listen to Ashlee Simpson, 'preview' Visionaries and sometimes play Nintendo. Does that make me still a teen? Wonder what will be of the future(should there be any), when I'm in Mr Brown's shoes...that means with kids(adopted?). Would i be bothered with issues that interest me at this moment in time or would i fall back and be more bothered on other things. Some close peeps whom were there once are now ridiculously busy with their married life and kids, so the bond became adrift. Maybe that is just part and parcel. Destiny has given you the path to experience life with another being and be acquainted or formed a tight bond only for a certain moment. That sucks.

Rachel Stevens says her secret phobia is toilets. The former S Club star confessed her fears on TV show the Kumars At No 42. "I have a problem with locking the door. If there is no window in the toilet, then I have a bit of a problem," she said. This lovely lass might take the throne of pop princess from Kylie. Can't think of anyone else at the moment. Just by looking at her latest music video, one can tell she is learning to 'Feel The Fever'. One particular incident in that show was that the host's dad told his wife "I was driving the other day. Then i nearly got into an accident after seeing the Wonderbra poster advert"...."Three bras for 10 pounds!". *smile*

Sophie Ellis Bextor has secretly married her boyfriend, guitarist Richard Jones in Italy on June 25. The pair met backstage on Jonathan Ross's TV show, in 2003, and were said to have hit it off straight away. They live in her £400,000 home in London's Notting Hill. In May 2004, Sophie gave birth to their son. Mr and Mrs Jones are still on their honeymoon in southern Italy, but Sophie plans to start recording a new album when they return to the UK later this month. This Richard has been a good boy all his life it seems.

Liz McClarnon is set to team up with Bee Gees star Robin Gibb to record a new version of the Barbara Streisand hit ‘Woman In Love’. When their duet will be unleashed on the public is currently not known. - Good luck to "Lil" on this project. Will keep track of this development.

Liam Gallagher will marry his long-term girlfriend, ex-All Saints singer Nicole Appleton later this year.
The pair already have a four year-old son, Gene, and they plan to wed in a low-key ceremony in Scotland. -
Hah! Low-key. The whole world knows about it now. No way they are gonna 'Slide Away' at the 'Digsy's Dinner' and miss out on this "Champagne Supernova" event.

Bronzed beefcake Arnold Schwarzenegger admits to being a fan of Northern hipsters Kasabian.
The California governor is so partial to the young band's baggy beats he listens to their hit single 'Club Foot' while pumping iron. He was however, less than impressed with the indie boy's physical prowess when he eventually clapped eyes on the five-piece. The brawny star exclaimed, "They have the combined bodyweight of one man only." - Imagine Mr Terminator in the gym doing bench press singing to the tunes of "Ah ah aaaah ah aaaah..." He can recommend some techniques and products to solve the gang's "Butcher Blues" physique..

Speaking of which, wonder what happened to that gorgeous lady from T3...her name is Kristanna Loken. Remembered that she took some Israeli form of martial arts and is a self-confessed tomboy. But a stone-cold stunner tomboy nonetheless.

Why do people love beer so much? It tastes horrible to the max. And it increases the tyre size down there too. One joker pointed out to me once about "Beer! Makes u feel Single, let u see Double". zzzzzzzz...

After four years with Blue, Lee Ryan is hotly tipped as the next Robbie Williams. - They never stop trying huh? First was that...what the fk is his name...oh yah, Brian Mcfadden. The "Supreme" magic that made Robb "Strong" can never be replicated on other singers' "Road To Mandalay" in this "Eternity". Lee Ryan?? People will only associate that name with Lee Bowyer, Lee Carsley, Lee-Ann Rimes...

Sheea-shuay's blog has been hacked. Even though some(most of it?) of her posts are very offending and pathetic, that does not justify someone hacking into her blog & deleting everything she has created for the past few years. And the funny part is when her 'fans' shared their sadness upon this incident. That joker may be using an ip spoof when he/she did it. So it may take some time before the culprit is exposed. The person can be anyone...and i mean anyone. They can be a friend of a celebrity whom sheea-shuay has deliberately made fun of. What if the person is from overseas? Heard her gmail a/c is also being hacked into, along with her thousands of email contact list n private info being taken away. Who the hell called her to use the same password? Anyways, it's not me prob too. So let these kiddies solve the mystery.

Wasted me time when i heard there was a gig at the Expo. Since i was around that area..decided to check it out. Crap. Wasted me energy walking to it from the station and seeing a small crowd of about 20-30 peeps. What more, the bands are playing some crap emo/metal stuff. Walked around to see the new food chain stalls and had to endure a "megadeath" song when exiting the area. I knew it coz the singer said it was, not coz i know of any.

Former Spice girl, Melanie Chisholm has spoken out about the chances of a Spice Girl reunion. Mel says it's highly unlikely that the famous five will ever get back together. Darn it. At least a reunion concert would be nice. Can't stand this new "The Faders", Marion Raven, etc. Yo! Tell you want i want what i really really want...

The new Franz single 'Do You Want To' is out on Sept 19. ‘Your Diary’ has been dropped while songs like ‘The Fallen’, ‘Walk Away’ and ‘Turn It On’ are all included.
The cover artwork for the new album will be based around a black, red and green colour scheme; and will feature a girl shouting the band’s name. It’s been announced that the album will be released on Oct 3. Time to disco-rock soon..

There is something about your tune Another Chance that has captivated dance floors the world over. What do you think that is?
I think it's the emotional quality of it. Quite honestly it's a song that’s both happy and sad at the same time. It's got this really interesting range of emotions running through it and I think that the emotional aspect is what's really captivated people.

Yes. That is Roger Sanchez answering to an enquiry for this superb track 'Another Chance'. Think it was released in late 2001. He has recently worked with Dannii Minogue on a song for her new album. Should be a fantastic hit yeah. With his famous goatee, he can impersonate Ali G.
Which reminded me of something Christian said - "Not only can I beat Batista but if I should go to Smackdown, I will also beat the.. Ali G rip off, John Cena." Brilliant.

Wow, Batista is drafted to SD. And JBL will be the first title contender. This is a very good move, as JBL has been talking a lot of crap of The Beast since WMania. One memorable speech was - "Batista..he's built like Tarzan I'll make him look like J-ane! As good as he is...he is NOT in MY LEAGUE!". Thank you Vince for improving SD.

Usted ha caído siempre en amor a primera vista? ==> Have you ever fallen in love at first sight?

Eminem ridiculed news reports during a gig at the White River Amphitheatre in Washington. He asked the crowd: "How many of you all read some sh*t goin' around that I'm retiring?" Eminem pointed out the story ran next to an article about the moon exploding and added: "I'm retiring? Then I guess the moon just blew up."
He then mooned the crowd. Hmm...good or bad news? All i can say is "Now this looks like a job for me...so everybody just follow me...cuz we need a litle controvesy...cuz it seemed so empty without...."

A very interesting video : Supersystem - Born Into The World

Sandra Bullock is now the wife of Jesse James. Me thinks that she is still the undisputed beauty in hollywood since the "Demolition Man" days....Always wanted her to be with Keanu. Good for her that she has settled down and maybe have a booming tummy in the near future. Btw, me young niece kinda looks like her. Sure to be a head-turner when she grows up. Heh.

Still wondering what's up with Jude Law. Think he is just alright. Ewan Mcgregor and Colin Farrell are better looking than him but get less attention. Jude enquired about having a menage a trois
with his...*tsk tsk*...nanny Daisy and some other lady but was turned down. And he has a fiancee(Sienna Miller)
for goodness sake. More *tsk tsk tsk*.

The White Stripes will release a new single ’My Doorbell’ on Aug 8. If you liked Hotel Yorba, this new one will having you singing along with Jack and repeating the chorus again & again. And again.

Oasis have confirmed details of their new single ’The Importance of Being Idle' on Aug 22. The single will feature two brand new tracks - Liam’s ‘Pass Me Down The Wine’ and ‘The Quiet Ones’, written by guitarist Gem Archer. I like the the video to this track, like it is shot from the 60s black & white era in a simple London environment. The guest star in it adds humour with his lazy antics and dancing.

Starsailor's third album is set to be their most political yet. Hmmm....are they going down the route of "12 Memories"?? James Walsh mentioned that they will mix elements of the soothing Rufus Wainwright with the rock & roll attitude of Oasis. That sounds like a very tall order but then i don't think they will disappoint their 'good souls' fanbase. Hugely underrated band.

There is one movement called "Make Bono History". Although he looks like Totti, his band has gone stale lately. They should seriously step down in the music world and let the new boys take over. Wonder who is the person who started this interesting idea. Hope that will happen. They reigned for too long.

The US people have now classified Kasabian as "the new Rolling Stones". Serge wants to feed them with more "processed beats" till he feels that the band has planted a "club foot" on the country. Should be no problem for these Leicester City fanatics.

What the hell? Heard that the next G.A album will have inspirations from Cheryl's fiancee's sport. One new song title may be called 'Love Penalty'...that is so fookin cheesy. Drop that idea please.

Andy Johnson to replace Baptista at Seville. Hmmm, not too sure if it is a good move for AJ should it ever happen. He might not adapt in the La Liga and it may dent his chances of going to Germany '06. Rather he stay in Palace and keep hitting the back of the net for fun. The Gooners may face stiff competition from ...Spurs in getting the beast. Martin Jol has nothing better to do but collect strikers as a hobby it seems. Mr Kewell will be out for about 6 weeks(nothing surprising there) so the handsome Zenden will be more than happy taking up that left midfield slot. Ballack may be a devil soon... SWP is wearing the blue samsung jersey next season. Rafa needs a right winger as soon as possible. Figo may be a possibility. Jerzy & Baros are left out in the 2nd leg against TNS. Which means only one thing. Goodbye Dudey + Chipmunk!!

Saw a shampoo advert with the goddess Cecilia Chung in it. Natural instincts caused any activity to stop and have a jaw-dropping moment..until the whole thing has ended. Like what Andy Gray would scream on the microphone after Stevie's long range goal => "Oh yoooou beeeeaaauuuty!"

Survivor Kaobehkaobu Episode Seven
Last week on..Survivor. StevenT confronted Robbie on why he broke their alliance and sent Blondie packing at the tribal council. The reasoning was that both of them would be better off without her. That had StevenT thinking hard on his next move in the game. At Malu-Malu, MissyE warned 50 that Liam and Fran are cunning players who may target him next. 50 then told the two guys about it, who became more aware of what she is up to.
At the reward challenge, both teams battled it out in the fire making game. Malu-Malu got their flag raised earlier and were sent to another island where they were introduced to the locals with a big pastries buffett.
Meanwhile at Zho-Bo Lan, Shania had a talk with StevenT to create an alliance between them and Hillary. She reasoned that he will have no chance against the more physically strong players in AliG and Robbie when it comes to individual immunity. When the teams competed at the immunity challenge, Zho-Bo Lan had better luck with their game plan and defeated the Malu-Malu tribe.
Andrea spoke to Fran and Liam about her opinions in getting rid of 50 or MissyE. Fran asked Belinda if she wants to keep MissyE and she felt that 50 is a better choice to have in challenges. MissyE tried to make a pact with Andrea and Belinda to stick together, which both are in agreement.
Andrea : "What do you think?"
Belinda : "All girls alliance or avoiding future tribal?"
Andrea : "This is so tough.."
At the tribal council, MissyE and 50 defended themselves on why they should stay. There was a tie of 3-3, in which resulted in a re-vote by the 4 players.
Andrea changed her vote and with that, MissyE became the sixth survivor to leave the game.

Jeff : "MissyE, the tribe has spoken."
MissyE : *shakes head* "See ya!"

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





(Transformers, the long-planned, live-action movie based on the robot-morphing cartoon, comic and toy franchise, will roll into theaters July 4, 2007. Children of the 1980s likely will be champing at the tie-in lunchbox.)
Woo Hoo!!

Christian to Y2J -> "By the way, both you(y2j & cena) and your albums..suck!"

Reality TV fever is starting soon with The Apprentice 3 tonight. It's been some time seeing Mr Trump judging the contestants in the board room. With the same appalling hairstyle. It looks like there are more serious verbal arguments this time round. Don't understand why they have to resort to arguing. Just sit down and settle it like how the well-mannered business people do. Anyways, will be happy hearing this famous phrase again => "You're fired!".

Spice Girls reuniting? Certain reports claimed that this is happening but the ladies would be in their independent recording studios. Don't know what the hell the producers are up to. Maybe it's just speculation. With a "best of" album, current teens may "wanna really really really wanna zig-a-zag-ah".

The Cribs new album (The New Fellas) has one very nice track ..."Martell". Forgot how it sounds like but that was the only one that caught me eye. It is kind of a mixture from Zutons goodness, Caesars Palace's quirkyness and a sprinkle of Hives. Must sample it somewhere again.

I just want Wednesday to come as soon as possible so that there will not be Siti Nuglyliza promotions running around everywhere anymore. Quite tiring to 'nb-ized' and spit. The "super angelic" image is just bull crap. That's not real. So don't believe the truth.

Robb's new album is said to be of a rasta nature ala Bob Marley. Wonder if he can pull it off and would the world accept this idea. Will be released in Oct under the title of "Intensive Care". Escapology was a bit of a let down, about 4-5 are fantastic while the rest are just ordinary. Robb Marley hairstyle in the future?

Girls Aloud - Wake Me Up lyrics

Actual words:
Let's sift through the haze of the past seven days
Moet in mud, a bottle of Bud, and Monday looks divine

What I heard:
Let's sift through the haze of the past seven days
Moet in mud, a bangladesh, and Monday looks divine

Rap superstar Eminem plans to make his last solo performance in Ireland in September. Citing sources close to the 33-year-old rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, the daily also said his current album "Encore" would probably be his last as he moves to full-time work as a record producer.
The final solo appearance of Mathers, the best-selling hip-hop artist ever, would be at a concert in Dublin, Ireland, on Sept. 17, the Free Press said.-- This is a smart guy. He knows that his brand is getting overplayed; so by doing this the value of his comeback and one-off concerts will be of a much higher level. Indeed his best days were in the 00-03 era. My name is...my name is...my name is....*chi ka chi ka* slim shady..

Don't know why people need to queue overnight to be the first few "lucky" ones obtaining the new Harry Potter book. It is not as if there is limited stock. Would understand if there is a long queue for a big lottery or concert tics. But this is a bloody book. Book. What is the difference between getting it on the dot at 7am in the morning to getting it at around 10.30am? The bookstore won't get run down and the books won't grow legs and suddenly disappear into the twilight zone.

Got to watch Lunarin at the Baybeats. The last time I saw them was quite a distance in a large theatre studio. Now it is at a closer view and the cohesian between them is very impressive I must say. The Tower and Silverpiece were the highlights of their concert. Will await their first album with anticipation. Happened to see Wylduer, Fairoz, Ah Lee and his tiger beer drinkin pal amongst the crowd. His pal wore a tee with the words "My Daddy Listens To the Beatles" on the back... (-_-) Due to time constraint, didn't stayed on for the other acts. It's ok. ~????'s in the bedroom...she said time to go now~

NME crew recently visited The Strokes studio to take a first hear on their 14 tracks that may be part of the new album come January.
Here are some of the titled ones:

• You Only Live Once
• Juice Box
  
• Razor Blade
• Ask Me Anything
  
• Heart In A Cage
• Killing Lies
• Evening Sun
• Fear Of Sleep

Juice Box may be seen as a potential single by the NME people. I like this Heart In A Cage title. Very Reptilia-ish. Maybe it's a cousin version. Jules felt that Room On Fire was a rushed album so he thinks that the upcoming album is being given an appropriate length of time to construct and review. The gang acknowledged that The End Has No End is the standout track for them as it took a lot of effort and time to produce it. NME personnel also noted a few schizophreniac sounds but addressed that it is appropriate for the band. And they concluded that Jules can actually sing if he wanted to...haahaha...

Gold Taps & $600K = Peanuts. Wonder if Prince Williams and Prince Harry use gold taps?

Baybeats is on this weekend. Think will just pop in to watch the superb Lunarin perform on Sat and possibly on Sun. Hmm...must be dressed in a strokes-franz-gallagher manner since it's an indie event. There are acts from overseas too. Should be interesting to experience new sounds.

Damn. Hopefully Mr Ballack don't join the red devils and maybe be a gooner to replace Patrick V. Arsene has lost faith in V so he let him sign a wonderful 5 year deal at Juventus. Florentino Perez might also be willing to grant Figo a move to Anfield on a free after a personal meeting. Essien may and should be disappointed by the Fatty Houllier's football philosophy, and pleading on a move to Stamford Bridge..

That's life. You can't get away with the fact that people are attracted to beautiful things. For the beautiful occupation. Choose between Keanu and Mark Lee. Heard many times that men should not always focus on the lovely ones but then women too are attracted to good-looking ones. Most. It's the way the world spins. Of course what may be gold to someone may be a useless stone to another. You got a reaction didn't you?

TTT(Teringin Tapi Takut) = hahahahahaa....*take a breathe*....hahahahahahaa

It stands for “teringin tapi takut” – men who desire for more than one wife but are not polygamous for fear of not being able to act justly. Those malaysian people really know how to create hilarious phrases.

This is for the slackers out there:
The Importance of Being Idle MTV


T T Durai = Go to hell

-Dead leaves and the dirty ground, when I know you're not around-
-Bobby said it's fine he don't consider it cheating now-
-And i said it once before but it bears repeating now-

Going insane after itchy hands tempted to dl a few white stripes 'live' video clips. Now, been repeating these phrases till no end. Arrrrrrrrrggggggh. Don't know how to make it stop.

Saw the ad for the new "Heartlanders" season. That show is getting stale; was good for the first few installments. Now it seems that the storylines are not as exciting as before. With the addition of the "I'm-too-sexy-for-anyone" Desiree Ann Siahaan and the gayish Julian Hee, it adds to the misery for the viewers. The chemistry between the Aziz-y and the "funny english accent" Vincent Abs has faltered badly.

S.E.Bextor's new single will be titled "New York City Lights", while Goldfrapp's one is "Ooh La La".

Damn cool song titles for these two underrated artistes. Hope their upcoming album will continue to surprise and wow everyone who are smart enough to appreciate quality dance and soothing music.

Miss Match season is over. No more Alicia Silverstone eye candy sessions. *sigh*

(Kasabian's "ID" sounds similar to a portion of Television's "Marquee Moon")

Someone once told me about people who marry more than one partner...some up till four. Legally of course. All four wives must be treated equally. Then this joker asked whether I'll do the same. Yeah...sure no problem. First of all my name should read as "Prince Harry" and hordes of people come rushing in to be the significant other which will make me undecided. Think that shut him up on the topic...

It is no fun to be normal. A bohemian lifestyle is much more exciting. You don't expect daily routines to be the same and pointless till you even walk the same path, follow the same trend, wear the mundane attires week in week out. That ain't too much to cheer about eh? Just by lookin at the nicknames on the online list, you can sense that some are filled with sadness and tiresome lives. Then there are those with the "party this weekend", "back from trips", joyful nicks that showcase how happy they are currently. It's all based on what you want to do. Sulk or strive?

One more month till the new season. Mourinho is cool about his current squad. Arsene pondering about Vieira's future, Ferguson looking for more cheap deals due to an unusual tight budget and Rafa is having almost the right squad at his disposal. Besides these heavyweights, others like Souness and moaner Moyes are having problems in their defence and strike force departments. The hell with them anyways. Hope O'Leary, Big Sam and Steve Bruce contest for the Uefa spots. Pompey, Spur-ms, and Sunderland hopefully disappear after the end of the season.

Came across a magazine from the new Republic Poly. The main content about that month's edition is about condom dispenser being available in campus. Some students think that it is a bad idea as is may portray a wrong image of the education centre, citing that it is not a nightspot but a place to study. There are those who welcomed the idea as it promotes safe sex and is easier to obtain rather than visits to the minimarts or 7-11. Haahaha...Can imagine the types of people who intend to purchase through the dispenser. You have the thick-skinned buggers who easily step up with supreme confidence ..and you have the shy dudes who will employ the 'detective' method of looking left, right, up and down to ensure no human being is around before rushing to get a pack..sweating profusely in the process. And there will be the extreme idiots who will force the girls to get one for them...then the smart ones from that bunch of girls will inform people that Mr __ told me he is too shy to get it himself. Anyways, wonder who are the jokers who actually responded to the "Nikki" poster advert?

'Live TV' charity shows that use prize incentives are not worth contributing to in me opinion. Who knows how much from your donation they used (10% -> 100%??) to cover the costs of the incentives. Would rather donate personally to the organization they are showcasing upon, as you will safely know that your contribution is not exploited in any way. But of course those people who donate with the hope of getting the prize incentives are just plain greedy i guess...

*A-d-r-o-c-k, I use the microphone like Picasso used clay*

Wenger has stated that he is not really relieved that Stevie has not turned blue next season. Who the hell is he kidding? Not even the gooners can do anything about reclaiming the title if that happened (not in this lifetime). Future interesting questions would be -> is Baptista the new gooner; SWP moving to which part of london or staying put; Figo rots in Spain or enjoying the right wing at Anfield. Giggsy wants to bring the title back to Manchester...Sorry Ryan, that ain't gonna happen. Unless Jose, Rafa & Arsene decides to aim for 2nd spot next May..

Slipknot calls their fans "maggots". Only happened to know about this when reading the papers today. These poor souls who claimed to be hardcore fans were interviewed. Seriously, are they anger-oriented daily to enjoy nonsensical screaming music to satisfy their emotions? Well...it's their cup of tea me guess. Let them enjoy the concert with other "maggots".

An executive radio personnel commented that they look forward to bring more non-mainstream acts in the future. Hopefully the likes of Depeche, Kasabian, Interpol would kindly be nice and come here for a concert. That would be so f**kin cool..

Don't think it's worth going to The Bravery concert. Only four songs; the first two singles, Tyrant & Rites of Spring are what I wanted to hear. The rest are not up to the mark. In January this year, NME tipped them to be more superior than Killers & Strokes. Don't think so. A "less stronger" stroke song...let me see....."I Can't Win", is able to piss all over the bravery album. Killers got a bit more class in them compared to Endicott's gang that would force meself to purchase their concert tic.

(Joss Stone disapproved Mariah's "This is my new single" shenanigans at the Live8 concert.Madonna wants Mariah C kept away from her backstage at Live8. The report claims Mariah has boasted that she's sold more records than the blonde singer.) All hail Joss-y & Madonna!!! Soul + Pop embarrassed the Diva Auntie.
I think Joss-y has very beautiful eyes and quite tall too (Jamie Cullum is disappointed by that..haha), but her songs appeal more to soul-sters rather than meself.

Teen A : Wow...have you done it with her?
Teen B : Done what?
Teen A : Think you should do at least once.
Teen B : Do what shite??? Do-wap-do-wap eh?
Teen A : ..........

It's very hilarious when you're minding your own business in public, like say at a restaurant or awaiting a train then you encounter a couple whereby the gal looked at you and gave a weak/big smile and you don't reciprocate back as you can't be bothered at all. Then the guy will get too worked up and gives the "don't have any designs on her" look. Or worse, he will have them move away so that you won't get a view of his darling princess. Some people really...

Would have prefered Charlize Theron to be playing the role of The Invisible Woman rather than J.Alba. She should stick to being a Dark Angel, don't know what the hell that is about anyway. Charlize looks more appropriate as the invisible blonde...i mean, woman.

Survivor Kaobehkaobu Episode Six
Last week on..Survivor. Malu-Malu returned back to camp from tribal council with mixed emotions.
MissyE had a funny feeling that Liam cooked up a story to swing the votes away from Fran and towards Vanilla.
MissyE : "Did you or did you not tell the truth about Vanilla wanting me out?"
Liam : "As I said, there WERE whispers about him conspiring to remove you next."
MissyE : "Well, that better be the truth." *walked off*
Liam : "Of course it is." *turning to camera and winked*
At Zho-Bo Lan, StevenT and Robbie felt that 50 & AliG were separated at birth since both of them loved to rap so much in camp. Blondie sensed that Hillary & Shania seemed to bond like sisters, thus keeping an eye on their possible alliance.
At the reward challenge, a shocking twist came about. The winning tribe gets to choose a member from the losing tribe as their new tribe mate. Malu-Malu got their win and picked 50 as the new member of their tribe, along with a good supply of cold Coke bottle drinks.
Zho-Bo Lan were furious that the strongest person was joining the other camp. Blondie told StevenT that it was a good time to get rid of Robbie or AliG if they were to lose the immunity challenge, of which he agreed. 50 were greeted well by his new tribe and felt good in their company. At the immunity challenge, it was highlighted that 50 is guaranteed to be safe from the voting should Malu-Malu lose as he was just drifted in. But then, Zho-Bo Lan seemed out of sorts in the bow & arrow aiming part of the challenge.
Jeff : "Malu-Malu wins the immunity!"
Robbie discussed with Blondie & StevenT who should be the best candidate for the next cut. Shania, Hillary and AliG agreed that Blondie is too commanding at times. AliG told Robbie about their plan, but Robbie prefered that they remove Shania first.
At the tribal council, after much consideration, Robbie decided to break his tight bond with Blondie & StevenT; and swing the votes to send Blondie out of the game.

Jeff : "Blondie, the tribe has spoken."
Blondie : "This is...so wrong.."

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




Following their announcement of a huge 2006 World Tour, Depeche Mode will be releasing their new album in October this year. Wow! Didn't know they were still together in the studios. The album name will be called 'Playing The Angel'. Think their last album was in 2001, Exciter.
Would it be as dark and broody in the days of "Shake The Disease, Question of Lust, Somebody" or the more energetic ones like Just Can't Get Enough and It's No Good?? Don't wish to further explore what are the possible song titles they have come out with..prefer to know it when the album is released. This is a very good news for "80's new romantics" lovers.

High ranking Italian soccer officials were reportedly seen at Highbury. Seems like Patrick Vieira may leave the Gooners to Juventus next season, which of course is good news to Rafa and Mourinho. Juventus wants a partner for Emerson and wants to do business with Wenger, but a Trezeguet or Zebina swop is apparently dismissed by the top Serie A club. I think it's better for Patrick to go to a club that actually has a realistic chance of winning the Champions League, which is what he desperately wants in his career. Rather than being in an overrated "European Arsenal" team that under-delivers every season in the CL, he can actually be in a team that is mentally equipped to go all the way in Europe. Go Patrick, all the best in Juve. Just don't fall down from "invisible" tackles...Collina knows all about your antics...

-Always prefered to oogle at Willow rather than crowd favorite Buffy-

Found out that a decade ago around this time, TLC were dominating the charts with their "Waterfalls"....
Remembered there was this gay relief teacher who was getting to know the class better. And he singled out one quiet gal and asked someone "So that girl behind you is who...TLC ah??". Think she just gave an annoyed look and did her own things after that. Anyways, that particular song made them famous and gave the trio a platform to achieve greater success..until 2000 if i'm not wrong.

I think Offspring & Sugar Ray are way past their prime. They were good then, but now it's just not right for them to continue their legacy. Whenever me hear tunes in the airwaves from them nowadays, a sense of irritation occurs.

Saw one joker vocalist of a band performing at a concert on TV putting his arms behind his back and attempting to do a Gallagher pose while singing. What is he trying to do? His song already sounds like crap, the stage presence factor is pathetic and he dare to put on a cool pose! Well...no harm having a good laugh at it yah.

Andy Williams is out with a new album titled - "Music To Watch Girls By: Very Best Of". This crooner sings with a deftness and musicality that easily overshadows Rod Stewart and Robbie Williams(no relations!). One can be blown away and feel happy by just listening to this fantastic collection.

S.C.S.A - "I see sand people."

---Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst---

Does anyone think that the message board postings about "Things guys should do to make girls happy"; "Ways to treat your partner better"; "Solutions to avoid quarrels in a relt" are supremely cheesy?? Understand if we're all in the adolescent stage..

The Departure's next single is "Arms Around Me", later this month. Didn't grasp the brilliance of this heavenly track on the first few spins as there were just too many jaggernaut songs to be in awe with. Not until I was humming an unknown song one day and remembering a cool guitar hook that this song came into the picture. Gonna be a cracker when the public gets to hear it...

--Does evolution make bad people?--

Had a very terrible day for 24 hours when Stevie G firstly, rejected a new contract and wanted to move on. That had moi feeling lost and dejected..thinking of all permutations to find the replacement for the captain. The only name that came to mind is Michael Ballack, who is arguably Germany's version of Stevie. Can't sleep well furthermore on that night. The next day whilst coming home, suddenly had a feeling that maybe, just maybe, he can do the impossible and decide to stay in his boyhood club. Guess what? It came true!! To make matters more sweet, he stated that the new contract will contain no rubbish clauses and he wants to stay as long as the club wants him. Ain't that just lovely? Maybe there's a chance to rub shoulders with the Blue-Warriors(not everton mind you!) and the Gooners at the top of the pile competition next season. Rafa now wants Figo & Crouch. No idea why Crouchy is needed....well, you don't question a euro champion manager do you?

Discovered an interesting band "The Dead 60s". Many influences can be found in them...UB40, Franz, The Specials quickly came to mind. You can't say they are ska or indie, so just take a listen and decide on your own.
Has the same vibe that force you to dance silly when listening, like what Franz can do.

Keane's intro in Everybody's Changing sounds very similar to the intro of Erasure's Respect.

Brandon Flowers prefers Room on Fire to Is This It. Surprised that he is adored by many females, maybe it's his charisma on stage as he looks just alright.

The new Apprentice season kicks off soon this month. Book Smart vs Street Smart. A very controversial grouping to some but nonetheless an interesting concept Mark Burnett has come up with. From the previews shown at the end of last season, the street smart contestants do weird things like playing guitars to impress at the boardroom. Gonna be an eye-opener for sure.

-----Oh, it's the other way around - wait.... What's that sound?-----

Heard stories of guys doing pathetic things like physical abuse on their partners; just to let go of their anger. To make it worse, the victims accepted that it is part of their behaviour and willingly endured the pain so that he won't run away. Goodness gracious. What the hell is wrong with these morons? "They are the pigs"

Electrico & Amanda Ling = Overrated.
Pug Jelly = A disgrace.

A local band concert that I would pay to watch is Ronin. Fronted by the charismatic Levan Wee, the band brings a good rock vibe that you get similar to old school Aerosmith, AC/DC, Motley Crue, etc. "Animal", "Revolution" and personal favorite "Do What Thou Wilt" are some of their hits. They made me interested in this category of rock which people won't associate me-self with. Wish them all the best for their upcoming album.

Have an old pal who's in a band called Phorous, which he claimed is his side-project. Yet to see them live. This dude and moi clicked when he found out I'm into Suede. Then we shared some common interest in the "underground" bands. But don't understand why he says The Strokes are "ok". OK?????????
Discovering Julian & gang is like a life changing moment and he finds them only "ok". Weird boy.

-Under Blackpool Lights-

Some people nowadays are so funny. They profusely dare not admit "Angels" is a fantastic song because an ex boy-band member sang it. If Radiohead were the ones who did it, they would proclaim it as the best track ever. Give credit where it's due. I myself hate the Backside Boys but I am very impressed by their one (only one) song "As Long As Y_ L_ M_". Can't go wrong there.

It's irritating when your pals use phrases from a new album or songs on you. Because they don't listen to these kinda stuff and they know how much I adore them, all sorts of phrases are thrown at me with reference to the words from the albums. Good clean fun. But irritates like hell.

Don't understand why they pair Rui En & that Batisah up for a new horrible NDP theme song. A totally wrong combinition to come up with. They are seriously devaluing a special day for the country. Sad.

Raul is in town to promote his country's bid for the 2012 Olympics. Naturally, some women and maybe gays here are salivating at the thought of seeing him in person.

Jolie is reportedly 3mths into her pregnancy. Aniston is going mental when she heard about it. Hopefully Courtney Cox is able to calm her down since she's very close to her right now. Lindsay has slimmed down spectacularly...she wants to follow in the footsteps of idol Kate Moss. But her songs are still zzzzzzzzz...

In some countries, SMS divorces are valid. Also, some companies use SMS to inform employees that they are no longer needed in the company. Pure bollocks if you ask me. No balls/boops to admit in person and using the techonological way as a safer option... "Rosemary, heaven restores you in life." <-- Evil
The good side is of course SMS flirt, a good first step to make a move. Blood bros would definitely agree..

A typical way the "Hip-Hop/ R n B" lifestyle dude would phrase his words:
"Yo, girl. Didn't know it would turn out this way. You see, those flowers were just a simple gift. We're not together no more but still that attitude ya showed is not what I've expected. I always thought we were cool after the break. There's no need to get so pumped up over a bunch of flowers. Was just being a nice guy and it was a way of saying thank-you for our good times yah. Maybe you don't forgive me, but hey, i'm just doing my role as the good guy. The times we shared were the best, ya know. Chill out. Won't disturb ya no more. Peace."

An "Indie Rock" lifestyle way of expressing his thoughts:
"Hello. Thank you for the wonderwall years. I may be a paranoid android sometimes and that may hurt your pride. It is hard to explain, but all i wanna do is rock. What ever happened at hotel yorba was the hardest button to button. You knew she's in fashion and changes are no good, so why do you still can't stand me now? I knew that our time is running out but she's now my plug in baby. Without you i'm nothing, and now since you think that silence is easy, i'm gonna tell her tonight. At least now i'm so happy cause you're so happy with your new one. Maybe, someday we might go somewhere only we know in our next life. Cheers."

Live8 is one heck of a simultaneous marathon concert. Held in different parts of the world at the same time, scores of artistes performed with the message of ending worldwide poverty. Think it was clocked just over 10hours. Got to watch Elton John & Pete Doherty belt out some old hit, Green Day, Muse, B.E.P, A-Ha, Duran2, Dido, Snow Patrol, Travis, Robbie, etc. Hopefully, the intended group of 8 people do something to stop the suffering. How come no one is able to help out earlier??

Venus marginally won the final over Davenport who was unlucky that her opponent proved just a bit stronger when needed to. Of course, the Federer express won the men's final over Roddick. I guess only Safin is able to slow Mr Roger down and outwit him. And I still think a Serena v Maria encounter is like watching Manu V Arsenal. Nothing can top that.

Wonder if the carnival huts at Marina are still around since they were also built 5 years ago in conjunction with the NDP being held at the Padang. Might go check them out one of these days. There was this one shop selling huge cockles delicacy with a special sauce somewhere around that area too. Yummy.

Area 51. Tom Cruise believes in the extra-terrestial. Maybe he has dreams of being abducted. He might also be doing this to shift away the over-exposure stories of his romantic love life with Katie..

America's next top model. We should have our own "Bishan's next top model" series in here. They can parade
at Junction 8, Tampines Mall, East Coast Park, Yishun Golf Course and maybe also at the Speakers Corner!
The winner will have a variety of car, shampoo, watches, instant noodles, hairspray adverts to choose from. Oh yah, a modelling contract too. The judges will be Sun Ho, Najip, Kumar and the Flying Dutchman. Every week, a special guest judge should range from a chicken rice seller, tay ping hui, ice cream man, "oldchangkee" auntie, etc. Their residental stay would be at the cheap underground tuition centre turned hostel.

"Love Never Loved Me" has an 80s feeling about it. Poor thingy, being left out in the cold..

September is a good month. That is when Babyshambles, Franz and Goldfrapp will release their new albums. Look forward to see Pete with his collection of cool hats, Kapranos in his tight fitting attire and of course Allison in her 50s dress code.

Stunts I would have to say "No", if i'm on Fear Factor :
- Watch an episode of Extreme Makeover.
- Locked in a room and endure one entire album from Mariah Carey blasted at full volume.
- Watch a 'live' Good Charlotte concert for 5mins.
- Eat a durian seed.
- Interview Sir Alex Ferguson without causing hurt.
- Imitate an Usher dance move.

Sabrina The Teenage Witch aka Melissa Joan Hart is expecting a baby; likely to be in Jan next year.
That show is fantastic and quirky especially with Melissa's fast speaking jokes. Guess it's no more now.

Did a 9km "fun run" recently. It is nice when your lips are dry and the body wants to stop but the mind over-ruled everything. Also able to reduce some millimetres of the tyre down there...

***Italy striker Christian Vieri is a free agent after his contract with Inter Milan was surprisingly cancelled on Friday.***

Rafa, go grab him now!!!

Apparently, one of me mates and his other gang wanted to wear black today to protest against the fake hike. Don't think it has any use. Might as well wear black lipstick, black nails, etc. They can then perform a goth concert at Youth Park while sending their intended message.

Neil Humphreys is one bloody good journalist. Always look forward to his hilarious reports about new ideas that he has come out with. His metaphors were expertly used, always knew when to draw the line between what is acceptable to be printed and what is prohibited. Check him out on TodayOnline

Ohh...MILF. That is wrong. It is one thing to be seduced by s.w.t (with a charmless nutcase? crazy ppl..) , but if you get one from a milf....that is wrong. Maybe it might not be?

Like a breath of fresh air. Do you have any inner demons to exorcise? Demons are powerful negative forces from within that prevent you from succeeding in many aspects of your life. These inner demons inevitably lead to failure, insecurities and unhappiness. The best way to destroy them is to...
