And our first Asian Idol is…

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

…surprisingly, unexpectedly, and it literally made my jaw dropped almost to the floor.

I don’t usually care about American Idol - so much drama, not much talent - especially during the pre-screening. But Asian Idol is(was) sorta fun to watch - because all six of them are extremely amazing!

And what happened tonight really tickled me to say something.

I didn’t get to watch the Saturday show, so I didn’t really know how they did when they were singing solo.

Mike’s voice always gives me goosebumps. But when he sang with Guy Sebastian, he did sound nervous and was outperformed a little. Really wasn’t his fault of course. Unlike Mike, Guy had no pressure at all. Of course he was singing out loud - all out! If I were a Mike at that time, I probably would have been lucky if I could even breath at all!

Jac, I thought she was super! She’s a very strong singer. But you know what - damn she’s got attitude, smile some more girl - she looks hmmm how can I say this nicely…(no, I can’t) - she looks arrogant when she’s not smiling.

The other four are great singers - and that’s all I can say!

I was not sure of Mike - especially when he was singing that last song solo. It just wasn’t him. But when he was singing "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" with the others..oh gosh he totally melted my heart. Hell yea, I was rooting for him!

My heart beat was so fast when I looked at Daniel and Ata when they were about to announce the winner. I thought - either they’re great actors or Mike’s not winning - because their faces were way too serious.

I was disappointed.

But Hadi is a great singer too. So..I guess..congratulations Asia. You have your winner!

P.S. Really? Taylor Hicks? ;)

Time is surreal

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I start working at 5 am everyday. The next time - that feels like a few minutes later - I look at the clock it’s already 7 am or sometimes even 8 am. Have I been working for that long? Really, I have no sense of time anymore.

Sometimes it feels like time just goes way too slow. But when you need it to be slow, it goes faster than ..than..Reggie Bush who runs for touchdown! (see NFL and College Football) *grin*

I really admire those who create the concept of time. I mean, how was it that they could grasp the idea of time - and the cycle of time? Time is as real as the happiness that you feel when something good happens to you and as real as the painful pang that you get when you experience something terrible. Yet, it’s hard for our 5 senses and mind to even sense the time because of its relativity, its invisibility and its untouchability!

Aren’t we all grateful that we don’t need to actually worry about discovering time and its confusing cycle? Just look to the bottom right of your computer - voila it’s 8:42 AM (or whenever it is when you read this post :D)

Dali_clock_mola_spaceI do like to think that time is surreal. And guess what - here’s a perfect clock - inspired by Dali - for you who have the same thoughts. Question is: can you take more surreality? I do get dizzy if I look at it for too long @_@ :D
