MY LIFE......as of 27Jan..CNYeve..
 
    Harlows.. Its CNY eve/early morning here now.. and its been the emptiest one in years.. but its no big deal i guess. Lemme tell you how i spent it: i went to school. sigh. After school i went back and stuffed some sweets into those OUB hongbao packets languishing in the stationery closet..planning to pass em around tomorrow..in a festive way.. (!!!).. i also dumped glitter into those packets...BWAhahahahaah... im sure u all know the staying power of glitter...its sortof like the rabbits in aussie...introduce them and they're around for days..mths(years?) even..when u thought u'd seen the last of them, someone goes, hey! isnt that a piece of glitter on ur nose? ..lemme help u get it off...here...see?..its just a small little speck from that thing suyin was doing a mth ago....no.. wait..there's two specks..no..four!...its multiplying!! aRGHHh *little strangulated noises emit*..*gurgle*....*ominous silence*... all that glitters can be quite bold. And hungry.

    Okay. back to reality..ohno..where is it? ive lost it!! *ponder*. oh well. no difference. Anyway, while the bunch of u festive louts back home were having nice festive family dinners..getting smashed...playing mahjong...sony playstation..etc etc.., I, was watching the 25th Annual American Music Awards on TV. Now let me first explain why i was watching it at all.. its coz BECK was supposed to be in it! ..oh but he was... he was...The thing started at 9.30pm..and it was hosted by drew carey(i cant stand the guy he should get a makeover and stay home to be a good housewife)..followed by like twenty odd categories (of which 15 were about country music)..and performances by(get this)..Michael Bolton..who sang(get This) a Pseudo-Opera thing and he was SO CRAP!..there were the spice girls too.. but im not going to diss them. i think they're okay... at least they know they're making fools of themselves and can laugh about that..However, they did win three awards at that thing, and i think thats ridiculous. In any case, i bet the whole thing was totally backdated..like in 1996 or something so no one actually cares anymore..stupid channel ten..But i digress..
    Like i was saying..it started at like 2100hrs right? so i sat thru michael bolthead, the spice rack and lots of really bad script, and Finally. at 0000hrs, after 2.5hrs of crap, BECK appears as a nominee for Best somthing-or-other..pop/rock male artiste i think..and he's against Puff Daddy(who brought his bored little kid) and BabyFace...and what do i see of him? a Lousy FIve seconds Clip! ARGH. (but he looked wonderful in it of course). Against the puffy face and daddy with baby, obviously he didnt win. Contemporary against alternative..they werent brave enough to choose the underdog.
    Stupid waste of time.
    Anyway, since im on the topic of music..more or less.. Lemme tell you about Marilyn Manson. Now a mth or so ago, i was telling pple to go chk out the CD and have a listen to the songs (since u'd never hear em on singapore radio)..and most pple didnt actually bother(their loss) but at least they were honest about it. And then there was this one Brilliant guy, who told me.."I Did check it out lah! I just dont like her voice..."
Me> HER voice?
Him> yeah...i dunno...doesnt sound so great...i like your voice much
          better..(trying to change the topic)..
Me> Right.

Okay. that sounds perfectly normal right? seemingly ignominous remark about a singer on his part... Except, Marilyn Manson just so happens to be a ROCK Group composed of a couple of Wild, heavily-tattooed Guys wearing scary makeup. Haha. BUsted.
    Anyway, why marilyn manson? to be honest i dont know all that much about them.. but i do know one song they did, "The Beautiful People".  It Seriously ROCks man!!!!! and i still encourage you guys to go look for it and have a listen.. but i think chua joo huat's out of stock..except for the uncensored version(which is the real stuff anyway) which they wun let u listen to.. heh.. in any case, the album is called Anti-christ Superstar.. yes.. satanic. which is why i didnt buy the album. but i still think that paticular song is bloody good.. and as far as i can tell the lyrics are non-subversive..so relax..
    It is now 3.00am in the morning on CNY..the day itself..which means that its just turned CNY in s'pore..which means i'll be getting a flood of icq msgs just...about...Now.
    *uhoh!* .. *uhoh!*..*uhoh!*... BLeeping things. (those of you with icq and speakers on ur pc will know wht im uhohing about..) those of you without icq, go get it lah! It can muck up the first time u install it..but try a few more times and bribe it a little..etc..it shld decide to behave sooner or later...just don't threaten it... the software might seem to acquiesce and behave..but they never forget. I'm serious. *cue in eerie muzik*...Note how the ram is a satanic symbol..and then there's RemoteAccessMemory..and EDO RAM..and now even *Dynamic* RAM..... woooooo...
    And on those upbeat notes, i have to get my daily 5hrs of sleep so Ciaos fer now!
Be seeing ya!~
