What A Riot! Commotion: Live On National Television!
Thursday, January 26, 2006
hehehe
i had a good laugh.
a seriously good laugh tonight.
at approximately 2232 hrs.
most thursday evenings, due to lack of anything else to watch on tv, i’ll usually tune into the tv programme “Malaysia's Most Beautiful”.

a seriously good laugh tonight.
at approximately 2232 hrs.
most thursday evenings, due to lack of anything else to watch on tv, i’ll usually tune into the tv programme “Malaysia's Most Beautiful”.
and i’ll usually be either:
a. flabbergasted at the antics of the participants / contestants
b. shocked at the contestant's vanity
c. amazed at the back-stabbing reality shown on tv *ha!* and cat-fights too!
d. having a good time hearing the judges comments & seeing their disgruntled faces (perhaps they can’t believe the values portrayed by the participants themselves)
with the a, b, c & d stated above, i’d like to reiterate that it’s not a show that i must absolutely watch. it’s definitely not a show that i enjoy, but just to multi-task between reading or cross-stitch and having the company and sound of the tv filling in the void (and not having to pay any real attention to anything that’s said)… anyways, sometimes it’s good for a laugh, and lack of any documentaries, movies, and what-ever else that the tv can provide, well, that’s okay by me (read: multi-tasking).
so that’s the intro.
now: the juicy bit.
tonight was the finale of the said programme. i missed the first 15 minutes (totally forgot about it). anyways, la di da… la di da… the usual feelings whilst watching resurfacing. and actually rooting for one of the girls, cause i think she’s real as compared to the other contestant – who’s so fake that admittedly, i sometimes cringe at what she actually says and how she says it on tv (am only rooting for the girl at home, no votes via sms sent. not an avid supporter of the programme to wanna vote. truly). then came the results: the girl i rooted for actually won!
that’s not the funny part.
it’s the commotion that followed was what prompted me to blog away…
see, after she was named as the winner, the other contestants rushed up on stage to hug her, congratulate her. normal, right? YES. the no. 2 girl (whom actually bragged via clip shown that she’ll definitely win as she’s the most beautiful, both inner and outer…), well, she was just left standing beside the host, clapping half-heartedly one moment, and looking stunned the next.
nope, that didn’t make me laugh.

so what did?
during the commotion, the family members of the girl who won… they clamoured as well to get on the stage to hug the winner. total commotion on stage. host got slightly agitated, and asked them to leave the stage, as it’s live television and there’s no time and room (something of the sort, broadcasted). so prompted first laughter.
the best part came from the judges.
the camera zoomed in to the judges’ reactions after the family members rushed on stage…. they were shocked that they were rendered speechless! no words uttered among themselves, guess they couldn't believe their eyes.
their reaction…. priceless!
hehe to quote Mastercard’s advertisement again:
what money can’t buy: priceless!
thus, thanks to the programme, here i am wide awake due to the judges’ reactions where during the past 2 hours i was sleepy and slightly groggy….
:D
ps. the concept and idea of the programme should be applauded. idealistic. but having to find people to fill in the shoes… well that’s a big task and may season 2 be better…. (if any!)

Of Being Single
Monday, January 02, 2006
the most frequent ‘advice’ given to someone single is “Go find yourself someone”. the ‘someone’ being men / women, boyfriend / girlfriend – depends solely on what gender you are.
most often than not, this ‘advice’ comes from someone who is in a relationship.
whether or not that someone truly cares about you, the advice just flies.
hurls.
in every direction.
at YOU.
ehmmm doesn’t that someone realise how hard it is to even find a significant other? regardless whether it is short-term or long-term, the effort taken is massive.
but let’s not talk about the commitment yet, ya?
the only point that i’m trying to make is, to even get to the LIKE stage is one big step to climb.
but that’s beyond the point.
what matters is to like someone enough, and for that someone to like you back.
to wanna give it a shot. a try. to see where it leads to.
the first step is trying to find THAT someone.
it’s not like that person can be found behind the door, underneath a rock, in a room.
until that someone is found, what else can one do but wait?
time will tell.
will it?
