where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

What an idol-istic week.
As usual i didn't and couldn't watch Singapore Idol last night, had my alpha class. Last night was the last of my alpha sessions, and Christine was asking me what I was going to do on thursdays now that alpha has come to an end. I told her, "I'll prolly watch Singapore Idol."
Aside: those who studied with me in NJ, no, its not that christine.
She stepped back, half in amazement and replied, "I'm sure there's more to life than that!?!" She is clearly sick of the idol hype.

And this morning, i smsed into the Perfect 10 for a SI contest and won tickets to tonight's result show. I couldnt believe my luck. Just 2 weeks ago, I won tickets to Hossan's stand up comedy exactly the same way.

the stage as seen from the circle

So junhan and i made our way to tv land aka mediacorp.
Thanks winston, I feel really bad bout what happened.
It was an experience lah. But i gotta say that the theatre was smaller than i thought it to be. It looked so much bigger and nicer on tv when those charity shows were aired. Camera trick, i remember that was what my mom used to tell me when i was a little boy. Guess thats why people look so much better on tv.
So the above picture was the view of the stage from the circle.

the idols during the commercial break

And from the circle, we were ushered to the stall/foyer cos they had more seats to fill down there. It was only then when i realised photography was not allowed in the theatre. Hence, the pics you see here are exclusive and are fugitives on the run. Respect yall!

Both of us sat beside three small crescent girls. We clearly underestimated their worth cos boy, they could really screeeaaam! Just like how Cowell couldnt believe all of that voice coming out of Clay Aiken, these girls were screaming mad for sylvester. Sylvester waves! They scream. Sylvester winks an eye! They holler. Sylvester breathes! They shrill.

And some behind the scenes info. Betcha didnt know that in order to encourage the crowd to cheer and scream loud, there were actually crew members who would give out gifts like The OC notepads, t-shirts to whoever they feel is enthusiastic.
And hence i had a crazy girl behind me screaming "I waaaan teeee shi-eeerrrrrt!" X10000. So the next time you think the crowd's really enthusiatic, they may be screaming "i waaan notepad!" under that sea of vociferous crowd.

the 'safe' ones on the couch

And i saw Lum May Yee. She's white. Oil of Olay should get her to endorse their whitening products. Anyway, she looks good in that shoulder length crop.
Taking these pics in the theatre was hard cos there were mediacorp people at every corner. It was thrilling yet a lil scary. It brought back the days in NJ when i was trying to sleep during econs lecture, while trying to make sure gilbert lee or brain lagman wasn't somewhere near my seat.

I cant go on anymore. Im reaching the point where my thoughts are blurred and do not come out as clearly as I like them to be. I am tired. Late nights don't work for me.
