Ahhh.. the pitfalls of updating a few times a day.

See, right now i am enjoying my last week of my holidays before i go back to school. Now, for the past few months, i have first been at FYPJ, my final year project, where i played CM4 6 hours a day, surfed the net for 2 hours and programmed for half an hour. During that time, i had plenty of time to blog, as i was extremely bored.

After a few months of my FYPJ, I then went on for my Industrial Attachment. It was there that i surfed the net 7 hours a day and programmed 1 hour, with a few exceptions a week where i actually programmed more than 6 hours. During that time, i was also ultra bored, thus the ability to surf the net for long hours at a time, and finding plenty of interesting stories, pictures and videos to share with the lot of you. And of course, news on Singapore to comment.

Now, after i quit my job last week, i had the computer to myself at home. I could watch TV, read novels, play Gunbound, CM4, Fifa2004. During this time, i read less and less of the news, usually skimming the surface of the Straits Times. In the past, i would read in detail TODAY and STREATS newspapers on the way to work, thus finding various bits of news to comment on. After lunch, i had The New Paper to comment on.

With only the Straits Times to read, and not even in detail, i didn't find much interesting stories for me to comment on. As often. Therefore, i am unable to blog as often as before. But, i believe, that as i go back to school, i will start reading the newspapers again, and soon start to blog more often. Next week, that is.


Anyway, there is an interesting bit of news that's been going around Singapore. Its the latest talk of the town. What is it? Non-constituency MP Steve Chia, being reported by his wife to the police. What did he do? He took photos of him and his maid in their underwear(his wife reported it to be nude, but apparently not). And he has stepped down from his position in the Government.

Ok. What can we learn from all this? This : If you want to frolic naked, or half naked with your young and beautiful maid, please DO NOT take pictures of it. And, if you do take pictures, please destroy them or delete them from your computer before your wife gets to it. Or you will FEEL IT!

Those that know me know that i'm a BIG fan of American Idol. I have both the debut albums of Clay Aiken(may he live forever) and Kelly Clarkson(she doesn't need to live forever. Clay is better). Its taken them 3 years, but finally, after so long, (according to 8 days magazine, a TABLOID, you decide how reliable it is) Singapore Idol is comming! Auditions are starting, and soon, we will get to vote for who we want to be Singapore Idol!

Now, there are many skeptics out there, who are going to say that this show is going to flop, that Singaporeans have no talent, that it will be ultra sad. But hey, to me, its about time they did it. There are plenty of talented people here, and now that its Singapore Idol, we won't have judges we don't know or care about choosing the winner. There were a lot of unhappy people when Cherry Chocolate Candy won Talent Time(they are now CCCrush, who actually can SING and got Da Groove. Quite impressive). I, like most of Singapore, thought that Triple Noize shoudl have won.

But now... WE CAN DECIDE!!! We, The People, can decide who will win Singapore Idol.

Ahh... i am so looking forward to it....
