Untraceable

Was watching this DVD at home, and I find it quite amazing. Even though I went online to look at what people say about the show, and many of them were negative, I would still give the movie a 7 on a scale of 10.

This movie is about this psycho who kidnaps people, torture them, put it on live streaming, and the more people who visit the website, the faster the person gets killed. So basically, if no one surfed the website, the person will never be dead. But, amazingly, millions of people visit the website everytime someone gets captured and is streamed online, and it indirectly causes the person to die even faster.

What will you do if this happens in real life? If you are the police, will you hold a press conference and ask people to stop visiting the website? If you are the public and you hear about this story, will you be thinking, "Nah, me going to visit the website won't harm. It's only adding 1 to the number anyway. Won't get that person killed that quickly."

Sadly, I believe that if this actually happened in real life, an alarming number of people will visit the website. And after that person dies, these people will not even be guilty and think that they are actually accomplices in crime.

The power of internet. In a negative way. Reflected so accurately through this movie. Go watch it.

It's Been More Than A Week

And my voice is still not back.

And I'm still coughing.

And I'm still vomitting.

Argh! When can I ever recover!?


Luckily, Partyworld allowed me to postpone my audition to the 4th of August. And, congratulations to my bro and Caleb for making it past the 2nd round audition! Certainly hope that I can make it past the 2nd round too, and meet you guys in the next round! We are enemies!


School's been quite OK. And I believe everyone has already chosen their titles for their FYP. Sadly, I'll have to compete with, of all people, Chris. Chris, 不是你死就是我亡! Hahahaha.


Recently, I don't know what's happening to me, but I can't sleep, and normal dosages of cough mixture (10ml) cannot put me to sleep. So what do I do? I drink 30ml in 1 night, and 35ml in another. Last night, I opened a new bottle of cough mixture in the dark and drank without knowing how much. I just opened it up and checked. New record. 40ml. Hope I do not get too reliant on an overdose of cough mixture to put myself to sleep, as I totally didn't sleep much during the 1 week that I'm not feeling well.

Disappointed. Frustrated.

Why, of all times, must I be sick now?!!

Fever. Flu. Cough. Sore throat.

Because of this throat, I had to miss my performance at White Tangerine Cafe on Sunday.

Because of the bloody sore throat, which only seems to get worse day by day, I had to miss my audition for the singing competition at Boat Quay yesterday.

And because of this sore throat, which I don't think will recover anytime soon, I will have to miss my 2nd round of auditions for "Be A Star" at Partyworld.

Why!!!


I want to say thank you to those who wished me a speedy recovery. Sadly, even the doctor said that it takes me at least 5 days to fully recover, and he gave me a 3 day MC. Who the hell gets a 3 day MC for sore throat? I guess it just shows how serious the throat inflammation is.

Busy

Been really busy with many things recently.

Singing. School (both teaching and studying). Performances. Competitions. Friends.

Suddenly feel very overwhelmed by all of these events, and find that I need to have a really good time management plan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

School's been fun. The module's interesting, and so is the teacher. The only sickening part is that lessons are on Friday nights, from 7pm to 10pm! That is like the worst time slot for a lesson. Even the lecturer's wondering why did the school set it like this, and salute us for going to his lesson, instead of skipping it and going out.

Well, Mr Lecturer, it's because this is only the beginning :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competitions were good. Just want to test how far I can go, instead of aiming to win and dream of being a singer. I do think that with competitions and the comments that are given to you, you can improve. By pushing yourself, you can perform better too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beware, everyone. There is some kind of a flu + cough + sore throat virus going out there. Many people I know are falling sick, and all have the same symptoms. And I just became a victim of it 3 days ago! It was mild initially, but now my voice is terrible. My throat hurts even as I speak or swallow my saliva, and I've got my 2nd round auditions for "Be A Star" on Wednesday! *Prays that I can recover by then*

Just received an email talking about sugar cane drinks. Here it is.

A friend whose father works for the government health inspection passed on his info. Their job is to inspect all hawkers, their cooked food, their store hygiene, etc. They found sugar cane juice has the highest content of bacteria among all food.
In fact, it has exceeded the set limit.

Hence, these guys had to find out why. They went round all sugar cane stores and watched the way the hawkers handled their sugar cane, wash their glasses, their entire procedure. But they couldn't find the problem.

One day, they stayed till closing time and discovered some shocking facts! Whenever, the hawkers closed their stores, they would wash the floor with detergent. As we know, the remaining sugar canes will be placed at the back of the store, vertically standing and as sugar canes are very porous, they tend to absorb whatever liquid around them. Besides the soapy water, the dirt on hawkers' boots, cats' urine, etc, will all be absorbed?? Now, whenever I eat at a hawker centre, I would warn all my friends about this and of course I stopped drinking my favourite sugar cane juice.

A friend, who loved sugar cane juice, was pregnant. She was always drinking sugar cane juice. Anyway, one day she miscarried and the foetus was already like 6 or 7 months old, I think. When the doctors did an autopsy to find out why all of a sudden the foetus had died inside her, they found traces of some chemical substance, which was found in cat urine. Large traces of it.

While it would not be able to harm adults, it was extremely toxic to babies, what more a foetus? So they tried to determine how this cat urine thing could have ended up in the foetus. This meant that it had to be digested by the mother, right? And the only logical conclusion they could come up with was that since these sugar cane juice stall holders just leave the canes lying around on the wet and dirty floor, it would not be impossible to think that stray cats could have peed on those sugar canes or near those sugar canes. So think carefully the next time you order that favourite sugar cane juice!

Please pass this on to everyone you know in S'pore & M'sia. Let's take action to make this world a better & safer place for all of us & the generations to come.

So please be careful!

Lost

Someone please tell me what song should I sing for my next round of auditions for "Be A Star"!

Went KTV with Neo, Apple and Eunice yesterday. And still, I don't know what song to choose!

Argh!!!


And recently, a few of my friends saw me and say that my eyes look swollen. Gina, Denise, Jasson, and many more. Apparently, crying every night before sleeping is taking its toll, that is if I even slept.

But, I can't help it, can I?

Poor Performance

Performed from 9pm to 10pm yesterday at White Tangerine Cafe at Kovan CC, and sadly I didn't do well for all my 3 songs. In fact, I felt that I did terribly for 遗失的美好.

But it's ok! I will make sure that I improve with every performance, and not make the same mistakes again!

And, I need to learn how to sit straight. Haha.


Argh! I got cheated today morning! It's Youth Day today! A school holiday! No lessons for me to teach, and yet the school didn't inform us at all! Make me wake up at like 6.45am just to go to an empty school, and chat with the security guard for 10 minutes before heading home, and blogging right now.

I must tell my students to SMS me whenever there is a school holiday the next day, so that I won't enter an empty CCKSS again. Lol.

My Car Is Back!

Yes!

My car has finally been repaired!

Damage: $5000+

Next year's insurance premium's gonna be a killer.

To my driver friends: Please drive carefully. If the price to pay for an accident is money, it's fine. But if it's a life, then no amount of money can pay for that.

The perfect song that currently describes my feelings and thoughts:

陈小春 - 我爱的人

我知道故事不会太曲折
我总会遇见一个什么人
陪我过没有了她的人生
成家立业之类的等等
她做了她觉得对的选择
我只好祝福她真的对了
爱不到我最想要爱的人
谁还能要我怎样呢
我爱的人 不是我的爱人
她心里每一寸都属于另一个人
她真幸福幸福得真残忍
让我又爱又恨她的爱怎么那么深
我爱的人 她已有了爱人
从他们的眼神 说明了我不可能
每当听见她或他说「我们」
就像听见爱情永恒的嘲笑声
