Hey peeps! Haha was rather bored of studying, so randomly looked for stuff and found this page where Paris Hilton is searching for her new BFF. So this the thing, anyone can participate and send in their videos (although this contest has already reached round 7 now) and people can vote for them and the top 20 finalists can make it onto the MTV show where Paris will pick her new BFF! That's Hot!
The page is http://parisbff.com/
Lots of dumb videos in it and kinda time-waster, but hey, ain't that what Paris is known for?
For those clueless about BFF, it stands for best friends forever!

One of the most talked about videos in SG right now
A Cab Driver and Civilian scolding *fck* off to each other.
I must agree with the many other comments left on youtube that the person who's filming this video is super-annoying. He should film himself and put it online instead, think it would be funnier
singapore censorship! is funny u must see!!1
Some mindless video about singapore censorship. Alright la, not really funny. But I can see my ex-classmate, zihan, at 39sec, haha!

Lost
It was another day spent doing almost nothing. Well, actually only did two things today as far as I can remember.
1) wrote and sent my CV to Barclays. Tis a big one, and hope I can get this job.
2) Was supposed to begin exam preparations, but found out that Season 4 of Lost is out. So I spent the whole day unraveling what has happened so far, all the mysteries from Season 3, and began an 8episode mini-marathon of Lost Season 4.
Well I would say that Lost is getting more and more complicated, but the more you watch, the more the picture becomes clearer. And many twists in the stories that keep you wanting to find out more. Season 4 is getting exciting ( I don't want to be a spoiler so I shan't reveal anything) but the survivors finally seem to be able to get off the island. It seems likely that season 4 might be the last, but you never know, with a story like Lost. Also, the flashbacks of the characters in the series have begun to switch to flashforwards as we see what happen to them after they leave the island, and this is where surprises will grip you.
I have met many who didn't like the confusing storyline of Lost, but for people like me who began watching from episode 1 of Season 1, this is becoming more gripping and interesting. Looking forward to the coming episodes!

Skool's Out!
Oh boy! I still can't believe it's the last day of school already! Last day of the semester for me, last day of my undergraduate days, and I'm not sure if it'll be the last day of studying in an institution for me. But wow, time really flies! Next week on, it'll be the reading week and then on to exams and graduation. I'm not sure if I should be looking towards graduation or not. But well, this last semester of school has been really boring I must say.
After spending 2 years away, you come back to an institution where old friends have mostly graduated, or are busily mugging away at home/in library (while I carefreely stroll around campus), or have moved on and have found their new groups of friends, or have totally forgotten who you are. And for those whom I have really been that close to begin with, I've found it hard to reacquaint with them since they might put me in a potentially embarrassing situation by saying "No I don't know you". So then, the lack of many friends to hang out with this semester, plus the droppppppppp in quality of the arts canteen food have led to the dearth of a fun-loving and joyous Don. I think I've transformed a lot since returning from Australia, becoming as much part of the worker-ants lifestyle of the NUS students as well as retaining part of the relaxed and take-it-easy attitude person who is unable to fit back into the fast paced mad rush of the others.
In a nutshell, I say that this last semester sucks and I want to graduate and get out of here. Now to find that company which would hire me....

Californication
Spent the entire day watching Californication and it was a totally engaging series, but I wouldn't recommend it for the conservatives or the faint-hearted.
The story line was pretty good, and David Duchovny's acting as a writer trying to get back onto his feet was a pleasure to watch. Some pretty humorous moment include two grown men fighting over a packet of tampon, and scenes of Duchovny vomiting in his ex's boyfriend's painting. There were definitely many great scenes to catch but I'll leave it as that.
Was touched by the romantic moments in the show between Duchovny trying to woo back his ex, and the scenes of their daughter moving to stay with her father as "the man has nothing". Madeline Zima caught my notice too as this cute and bubbly lady, definitely with a good figure, who was attracted to Duchovny's character.
Well then, about time I got some eye-shutter. Good night, and You stay cool, readers!

End of the book of blood, sweat and no tears
Yeeha! Finally submitted the much horrid and stressful item known as the Honours Thesis yesterday. It's been a long time coming, and put much effort into doing it for the last 2-3 mths. Had been waking up and sleeping to my HT everyday for the recent month or so. So felt an immense relaxation and joy when I finally handed it in to the department. All that's left is the hardbound copy to be submitted next wed. YesssshhHhh~!
Right now, catching up on stuff that I haven't had time to do before, like watching Hustle and other stuff. Been also watching episodes of Little Britain (yes again) on the BBC entertainment channel on cable, and Lost which is airing on Ch5. And more time to surf the net and do time-wasting stuff, but not for long, before the exam arrives.
Oh and I saw Daniel Bennett at the train station the other day, Singapore's National football team player. He's a good player and performed pretty decently for the team, which led to Spore qualifying into third stage (I think) of the world cup qualifiers. That's pretty awesome.
But one thing for Singaporeans to ponder about is the focus and direction of the country's sports scene. It must be said that the way conduct sports is similar to Singaporeans conducting business. How so? I may explain
The impatience to win, has led them to disregard nationality issues, and conduct big-scale, sorry, massive-scale imports of players from other countries who have shown quality. This is done thru enticing with the carrot. For the local players, they have mostly been overlooked, and I would have thought that a country should and would train local players to be successful, but unfortunately, country says no.... The quick fix method is to buy/import, not train and cultivate, where the former would be cheaper in the short-run but expensive in the long-run, while the latter is vice versa.
Regarding local players participating in overseas competitions, the onus is also on the player to raise their own cash/funding so that they can take part. So you're practically on your own. No money, no trophy so no reward. They said they are tired of sponsoring players who can promise medals and in the end they don't bring back the gold/silverwares. Do they think sports is like business when you can buy a piece of land by just offering the highest bid? Even the best player may stumble one day. So then, what? Impatience is not the way to go.
If we have to win the worldcup or whatever cup by having an entire squad of imported players, I'll rather not win anything. This is not the English Premier League.
