So...The Bachelor is back and the chosen is a pilot aka the WUSS frm last season's Bachelorette who cried. He's a nice guy he really is and the preview brought many promises when he said "I'm not here for the most beautiful woman, I'm here for the most beautiful heart" or something like that lah.



But wtf?! The dude didn't pick this awesome girl! Elizabeth Kreft! This girl's not a dumb blonde maybe that's why she didn't get picked. He was threatened for sure cos the girl's a Captain in the Air Guard (i.e. she probably can fly better than him). And she didn't try too hard with the initial introduction.



Some bodoh girls had totally cheesy introductions like wearing stewardess uniform lah, intentionally tripping lah...But Jake seemed impressed with those bodoh first impressions. This idiot dude just wants some damsel in distress he can drag around and Elizabeth's self-sufficient so, he let her go. He also let another commercial pilot go so yeah.

Btw, Elizabeth's 29 and Jake is 31 but he seems to think 29 is too old cos all the women he picked are pretty much young ones -_- This self-proclaimed nice guy is totally not looking for maturity I'm guessing. What a pity, I was looking forward to watching her cos she seems like one of those rare, genuine girls in the bunch of mostly, totally fake/clingy bimbos.

I was super impressed by Elizabeth's exit video. She didn't get all disappointed and teary-eyed like the other rejected girls. She was smiley and happy and she wished him all the best. She even called his other choices shallow without sounding the least bit bitter! It looks like she didn't even care. OMG please please PLEASE make her the next Bachelorette. She's way too awesome.

Music's pretty cyclical isn't it? Boybands are out in the US. But they're making a freaking huge comeback in Korea. Well-dressed boys with flashy dance moves singing songs about love. But Koreans aren't making do with just 4 or 5 in a band. They easily have like 6-8 lor in one band! Sia lah! But hey, nothing for me to complain about. Eye candies who can dance are always awesome. Wooh.

Introducing 2PM from JYP Entertainment (the record label that spawned Wonder Girls). It was a 7-piece band but the leader quit and returned to US after comments he made about hating Korea surfaced (he was brought up in the States).

2 PM - Again and Again


2PM - 10 Out of 10


Super Junior - Supergirl (their English pronounciation is atrocious and the song isn't as catchy as their hit Sorry Sorry but their clothes are snazzier. Lovvveeee the way Korean boybands dress up)

This song, is dedicated to my stuttering colleague. While people are making fun of him, what they don't know is that...he's way cooler than anyone of them! Cos he stutters like Roger Daltrey from The Who, okay!

Come on man, just take a listen to this song from one of the coolest bands of all time. They made stuttering COOL man. And anyone who can't see that is plain dumb. Oh yeah, the videoclip is pretty funny cos the drummer arranged for an explosion to go off after the performance. But the crewhad already done so. By the end of it, the guitarist's hair almost got wiped out and it permanently damaged his hearing. HAHAHA.

The Who - My Generation


A grungier version


Here's to stutterers all across the WORLD! You can tell those mean people to f-f-F-FADE AWAY. Haha...Love that part of the song lah...playing with the words FUCK OFF and all. Of course eventhough I perpetually make fun of my stuttering colleague, I think I have the rights to do so because I used to be a stutterer myself. And I have no mean intentions at all. Stuttering is steeped in rock n roll history because of this song yo.

Sigh....another one to add on to the never-ending of awesome US dramas to catch. I love conspiracy theories and this one involves Scientology lor. What more can I ask for? The actress who plays the main Visitor, actually prepared for the role by watching the Elections 2008. She has that aura of assured-ness. I totally need that to deal with nasty NASTY Singaporeans. Where do I sign up to be a V? Hahaha.

V - ABC Network


Check out the original from the '80s. Wahahaha. Hilarious.

Sometimes it's hard to explain certain situations except using music analogies.

Once upon a time, there was The Beatles, also known as the Fab Four. There was Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and John Lennon.

And then along came Yoko Ono. George Harrison got pissed off because Yoko Ono's words and suggestions seemed to weigh more than his own in the band (although McCartney was the driving force of the team, Lennon technically started the team). Harrison increasingly got fed up as Lennon took Yoko Ono's words more and more seriously and prioritised her.

The chasm in the group therefore, started with Harrison's disgruntlement.

McCartney, tried to patch the group up but in the end, got increasingly fed up with the drama that is being created, especially when Lennon got pissed off at McCartney for not seeming to understand the new dynamism that was emerging between him and Yoko Ono.

Lennon, wanted the best of both worlds. He wanted The Beatles AND side projects with Yoko Ono. And whenever he gets the chance, he brought Yoko Ono along to every Beatles meeting. They were inseperable. But the other members of The Beatles had a tough time adapting to this. Afterall, it's The Beatles. Not The Beatles plus Yoko Ono. Meanwhile, Ringo Starr was relaxing one corner, not wanting to get involved or embroiled in all the drama. Ringo Starr, was the Switzerland of the group. Anyway, Lennon insisted on his ways and so did McCartney. If there's one thing McCartney and Lennon had in common, it's that they are both really stubborn in their own ways.

Despite knowing that they made the best music together, unparalleled to any other bands in the world or many musical eras to come, The Beatles went their separate ways.

I heard a short snippet of this song on Channel 5's advert for Hunchback of Notre Dame. Fell in love with it and scoured for it online. Found it! An emo song. But can't help singing along to it.

FM Static - Tonight


I woke up feeling like shit today. Did not look forward to getting out of bed. Then I walked to work at the break of dawn and saw the most gorgeous moon ever. But of course that didn't lift up my mood. You know what did? 'You Get What You Give' on radio. I felt a ton better. It's amazing how music can just drag ur spirits up by the collar. Then I got to work, set a target for myself and despite the low number of ppl, we got 11! Awesomeness. But what sealed the deal for me...was opening my mailbox and yeah...I was pretty much floating on air. Hah.

A friend told me, what happens on the first day of the year pretty much sets you up for the rest of the year. So if for example you have a good first day of the year...then you're most likely going to have many good days ahead of you. I totally rubbished her for being superstitious haha. But hey, since I had a pretty darn good day, I hope the superstition is indeed true.

1) Fix my fucking computer - I don't know what's wrong with it. Images show up as red X's, RAM's not big enough for my crazy music obsession. XP updates always screws up every damn thing good about the Internet with their Big Brother stupid ad-block thingeys. And my BIOS is outdated. I wish I made more effort to make computer geek friends back in Uni. I always feel so helpless when my computer konks.

2) Buy a new CD-player/stereo system for my room - I've been putting this off way too long.

3) Go to Turkey and Greece with FCC

4) Put The Verses Within together - way overdue

5) See fireflies

6) Read more awesome novels/books about music and geek culture

7) Get our $800 back from the terrible travel agency that is A.B Mohamed Travel and Tour and destroy them. Literally throw mud at their reputation. I wage a personal war against you.

8) Save. After blowing a hole in the bank with the Greece and Turkey trip.

9) Live by the motto : 'When was the last time you tried something for the first time?'

10) Not work on my Birthday.

Robin Thicke's Sex Therapy is my current earworm. The vid features his wife yet again. Like 'Lost Without You'. So it's actually alright that he gets all suggestive in the vid cos it's with his wife ain't it? Pfft. I'm fed up lah. Why this kind of song stuck in my head?! When I first heard it, I thought noooo way it's gonna get to me like I let 'Lost Without You' get to me in a MAJOR way. SEKALI...I found myself singing the chorus. My GOD LAH!

Its your body you can yell if you want to
Loud if you want to, scream if you want to
Just let me love you lay right here girl dont be scared of me
Give you sex therapy, give you sex therapy

WAHAHAHAHA. Wadafuck Aishah?

Robin Thicke - Sex Therapy


Then there is this Beach Boy-esque song I cannot stop listening to. Tsk. Lurving the drum beats in the middle of the song.

Das Pop - Tired


There's this other song...which probably has one of the best electro-ish intros ever...sadly, the vocals is whacked! Yet, I can't stop singing to 'Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair' HAHAHA. Bodoh. I need to find an instrumental version of this one.

Passion Pit - Cuddle Fuddle


In other music news, Perfect Ten's Shan and Ross played Sweet Disposition on the airwaves. At least some good music is being exposed on 98.7fm. I'm still amazed at how an Indon/Bali Boy who relocated to Aussie, can form a band, make it to the soundtrack of US movie 500 Days of Summer, relocate to UK AND THEN get played on Singapore radio. It's amusing. No one appreciates an Asian musician until they somehow make it big in ang-moh land eh?

The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition

So...like I said, every week or so, I'll put one of those lists from the music playlist journal I bought up on the blog. This, took me a long while to think about. I even had to ask FCC! Aainoo's favourite is Beyonce's Single Ladies (what is WRONG with you?!?!?)

Not in order

1) Ok Go - Here It Goes Again (fucking awesome song too!)


2) Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice


3) Blink 182 - Rock Show (The band cashed in the cheque their record company gave them to make the vid and did random stuff with it like throw money in the streets, bought doves and freed them as well as crashed a brand new car. Even if it was a ruse, it's still a very punkrock video)


4) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California (all the rock eras summed up in one vid!)


5) Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me (DON'T JUDGE ME! Hahaha...it's nice lah really)

Special Mentions:

JUSTICE - D.A.N.C.E (didn't make it to my top 5 cos I can't fucking stand the kids singing in the background; vid's cool though)


Fergie - Clumsy (the entire vid is in 3D pop-up style! Lurve it...)

This is a tribute to the 60s and 70s. I wish I could go back in time for one day, be in England and see it all...Blondie live...mods going around on scooters...The Clash (although I'll be scared shitless in the mosh). What sparked it off? Well, Cool for Cats by Jessica Adams. There was a mention of Blondie's Dreaming in there somewhere and it's an awesome song (the Smashing Pumpkins' version is fucking annoying though).

Blondie - Dreaming

Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free

Mod - A Documentary (The Secret Affair Time For Action)




The Clash - I Fought The Law

I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money because I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Also, I bought The Boat That Rocked original VCD from Batam.
