Singapore Idol - "The Year I was Born" Show

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Ok I just came back from my class chalet!
Honestly, even though I slept through the whole afternoon, I'm still too tired to blog. hehehe!
But what the heck, I still watched today's Idol show man!
Besides, they are showing the contestant's baby photos! CUTE!! LOL!
I'll update about the chalet after this post kays?? ;D

So (as usual) the contestants and their song choice:

1. Nurul Huda - Walk like an Egyption "The Bangles"
Good performance! But wow, are the judges hard on my her seh..!
(Buat aku darah up nie! LOL!)
I think she is really comfortable on stage.
Not a good song choice maybe but she can definitely sing.
And she is still so darn cute! HEHE!

2. Justin Jap - Together forever "Rick Astley"
Sounds karaoke-ish and awkward in some parts of the performance. But find him funny sometimes. Goody goody, plus the geekiness in his singing and dances. Pretty much like me! But I can't sing please. My dances can literally kill you. WAHAHA!

3. Tabitha Nauser - Bohemian Rhapsody "Queen"
I don't really like this song in the first place, but I think she carried it well. Hey she got the star looks! And I feel that there's a potential powerful voice of hers waiting to be unleashed!
PLEASE LET IT OUT!
ahahaha!

4. Charle "Stitch" Wong - If Give Love A Bad Name "Bon Jovi"
Okay frankly the singing (to this song) suck. He should not go for rock like what Dick said.
He doesn't have the rock voice so I feel he should go for RnB or anything near that genre.
But I dunno le.. Still figuring what suits him.

5. Sylvia Ratonel - Sweet Child O' Mine "Guns N Roses"
I don't think she suit this kind of genre, however it was a good performance!
But it was a risk that made me worried sick man!
Ok not that sick lah (LOL!) just worried if she's going to impress anyone.
She's one of those few with powerful yet soothing vocals and I like her.

6. Faizal Isa - To the End Of The Road "Boys 2 Men"
Hahaha! one the fashionable ones. The performance was good but not impressive.
Like what Florence said, he manages to choose songs within his abilities
and gliding through every show.
I think he's shy most of the time too lah. Can see it in his eyes. ahahaha!
Still got chance to prove your worthy dude.

7. Fathin Amira - I Love Your Smile "Shanice"
I personally feel she has the best stage presence. And funny too the fact that she bravely approached Ken and made him smile for once..AHAHA! salute you for that Fathin!
But hey you can sing babe + make people smile! ahahaha! keep it up!

8. Mae Sta Maria - Lately "Stevie Wonder"
Best vocals for the ladies I feel. But the performance of the song choice wasn't too impressive.
Maybe its an 80's song that I know nuts about? ahahaha!
Happy anniversary girl!
Your husband came to support, how sweet! =D

9. Malaque Mahdaly - Right Here Waiting "Richard Marx"
The most common song year back for you mat-mat jiwang out there. ahahaha!
Her singing was good but haiyah.. the song like can sooo put you to sleep.
I was Right Here Waiting For The Song To End. LOL!
But hey girl you're still good! Better song choices next round.

10. Duane Ho - I Have Nothing "Whitney Houston"
Ok this guy often makes me confused each time I see him perform.
His performance was only so-so and forgettable
- like now, I forgot how he went about his performance. hahaha!

11. Farhan Shah - Love Will Lead You Back "Kyla"
Hmmm.. I can't seem to tell if he's giving his best shot if every show.
Or is it just his personality? Good singing but.. needs more effort.
One of those contestants that I felt are getting more and more complacent.
C'mon man you can do better!

12. Sezairi Sezali - Faith "George Michael"
The best singing and performance on this show! My fav for today.
Aiyah I got nothing must to say to this guy cos he's already good,
he has the personality and his own unique voice. ahaha!

Alright!
So those who made it through this round are -
Fathin, Duane, Farhan, Nurul, Sylvia, Faizal, Charles, Mae, Sezairi, Tabitha and Malaque!

Yeah I have to say again that their baby pictures are cute!!
ahahaha! sorry I'm a softie when it comes to babies. hehe!
Ken's baby pic was the ultimate one that everyone wants to see..
and boy I had a good laugh! muahahaha!

And I find the 7-11 adverts super lame can? HAHAHA!

I've something to say about Singapore's music (mainstream) industry lah..
If our music wants to be on an international level, or AT LEAST, on asian level,
our music must AT LEAST stop sounding like a National Day song. C'mon man.
The lyrics are good, but the music man - The Music, has no kick at all.
You should get what I mean if you listen to lets say - any song tuned by Timbaland?
There's no standard to match the West.
Even just across our borders,
their music (I'm not talking about the singing) sounds way much better.

So thats it for now.. hehehe!
Still gotta update on my class chalet.
As usual, it involves a lot of "enhancements" on the pictures,
so it'll take some time till the post is ready. hehehe!

Take care! (^^,)

Nothing interesting during the holidays lah.. Haven't been going out and stuff.
Holidays.. not many things happening.
What an irony.
Wanna go out.. but I'm lazy. ahahaha!

So by now I'm sure you noticed my random (or rather artistic..hehe!) sketches here.
Thats what I do most of the time when I'm bored. Draw.
But instead of pencil and paper, I have TECHNOLOGY! muahahaha!

BUT that boredom shall be temporarily lifted for 3 days cos its..

Singapore Idol 2009
The Spectaculars Show!

Muahahaha! Okay I'm updating this while watching the show.
So macam "LIVE" update lah gitu kan. LOL!!
I keep my thoughts short and hopefully sweet yeah? =P

1. Mae Sta Maria - Lady Marmalade "Christina Aguilera"
Errr, I don't like the song..hehe! Dick said its a good song choice? I don't think so..
Quite disappointing but a good opening performance.

2. Charles Stitch Wong - Low "Flo' rida"
A good rendition of the song, however I felt it could be better.
The beat boxing is not necessary I guess. hehe!

3. Syltra Lee - Breakaway "Kelly Clarkson"
Shakey start. But hey she sang this song in school before!
Ermm. She can do better le.. I know she can!

4. Sylvia Ratonel - Fallin' "Alicia Keys"
WOW. Can I just say WOW? ahahaha! Great song, great performance!

5. Sezairi Sezali - You Give Me Something "James Morrison"
Good performance! Good vocals!
He should make THE PRESENCE on that stage, like what Ken said.
Nonetheless, he still has a good voice and he'll go farrrr!

6. Tabitha Nauser - Big Girls Don't Cry "Fergie"
Good song choice.
Whatever Ken said was pretty true (if you can remember what he said..lol).
You can make it girl! Goooo!

7. Fathin Amira - Hurt "Christina Aguilera"
Good singing. I want more OOMPH!! ahahaha! Bring it out Fathin! C'mon!

8. Justin Jap - Heartless "Kenya West"
Last 2 weeks "So Sick" this week "Heartless". A doctor's choice maybe??
wahahahahaha! Nope, still no kick lah from this guy..

9. Nurul Huda - Opps! I Did It Again "Britney Spears"
Alamak! Power ah!! Jazzy version of the song.
I loike! muahahaha! eh this is not bias okay! She is good what! Right? :D

10. Farhan Shah - Bad Day "Daniel Powter"
Err.. not good enough. Bad bad bad. Quite a disappointment.

11. Malaque Mahdaly - Hush Hush "Pussycatdolls"
Aiseyman.. another "no oomph!" performance. Whyyy oh whyy..?
Not a good song to sing for Spectaculars man.

12. Duane Ho - Pokerface "Lady Gaga"
Good performance! He plays the piano??! ahahaha!
Some pitching problems, but good enough!

13. Faizal Isa - Stop and Stare "One Republic"
Good singing. But needs more oomph! Give it all out man!

So my favourites for today's Spectacular Show!

(Images from mediacorptv.sg)
Tabitha, Sezairi, Nurul, Sylvia!

Aiyah but tonight's show not as nice lah, few bulu-roma raising, goosebump moments lah..

Like I said, NO OOMPH! ahahahaha! =P

(dah aku nak pegi minum teh-o.. LOL!)

Alright done! Takcare! (^^,)
I got guests at my house lah.. hehehe! Bye~!

I notice something odd about the MRT announcement..
You heard the part:
"If you see any suspicious looking persons, please inform our staff..blah blah"?
Should it be "If you see any persons behaving suspiciously.."?
If suspicious-looking right,
those with the crook face - is suspicious looking.
Maybe someone having a bad day, with a moody black face - is suspicious looking.
Even that uncle selling prata near my house is suspicious looking. ahahaha!
Aiyah in short suspicious looking has got something to do with the face/looks lah right? ahahaha!
So yeah. How random can I be. HAHAHA!

Random! (Bite about Raya)

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 1:21 AM
Something is not right somewhere.
But what is it?

Not myself these days. I'm sorry.

Sorry for not updating (about 1st/2nd day of raya).
Its either me or my tummy (yeah not feeling too good).
My stomach still in fasting mode lah maybe. Then I overworked it by eating too much. hehe!
I love eating mah. :D

I notice that my family is not enthusiastic about taking pictures during raya man.
Is it because I'm too lazy to take?
Too engrossed in listening to my dad/mum telling their past "younger days" stories with relatives, vice versa?
Or is it THE TV..?
Ahahaha! yeah most of the time at my relatives place,
I sit back, keep quiet, eat whatever kuihs there, watch tv.
But if they ask questions I talk lah of course! LOL!
Blame the FREE PREVIEW Sensasi channel on cable tv!!! ahahahha!
Eh got good shows okay! That caused delays in visiting the next house. =P

Oh I heard my mum telling stories to my aunty..hehe!
about me and my siblings being the easiest to take care of when we were young.
Because she notice kids nowadays so demanding, cry here cry there, stubborn etc.
Me and siblings were quiet most of the time, never cried unnecessarily,
no waking up of parents in the middle of the night.
Must be my Dad lah back then. He was fierce. ahahaha!
Now he relax already. But I'm still a quiet boy =D

Ok back to about taking pictures. ahahaha! (sidetracked)

I think maybe cos all my relatives are not into taking pictures.
I DON'T KNOW WHY. Don't ask me! I'm puzzled myself! ahahahaha!

I think the only time that is fun,
AND possibly the best time to take silly or stupid pictures,
is of course - WITH FRIENDS. kan kan kan??

Family raya outings can be soooo boring. ahahahaha!

Anyways hope you guys reached your individual "collection targets" for day 1 and day 2.
ahahahaha! if your target is not met, its the economy situation now lah maybe.
AND because malay families tend to be MUCH LARGER.

Let me expreennn to you!

Grandparents = 8 children (output)
The old generation are baby factories. ahaha!

Then each child will "produce" an average of 5 children.

So that is 8 x 5 = approx. 40 young-beings/cousins

Add in the father's cousin's children, the mother's uncle's children etc etc.
Whom each have lots of children!

Get the picture?
Now thats only one of my parents side.
So add both mum and dad's side!
Voila!

The ultimate money eliminator!!
Feel the pinch? HAHA. more like a punch man.
For those giving that is. hehe!

So my explaination above might be one of the reasons you're getting less raya money. ahahaha!
So be thankful regardless of the amount yeah? More important is strengthening family ties. =D

I feel theres a mystery behind my BIG family tree.
I still believe that theres a bigger "network".
Something that is unknown to me.
I wanna know, my roots, my ancestors. EVERYTHING lah!
I feel the need to know, as if it was a calling or some sort. ahahaha!
How to trace back in time ah??

Ok lah. I'll update again soon.
Take care!! (^^,)
Seriously, getting ready for raya outings (with family) is a drag. ahahaha!

Happy Eid! (^^,) Yay besok raye!

muahahahaha!
Yeah everything cheap! (ok shuddup dane. LOL)

You guys ordered drinks in "gajah" size before? Confirm have one lah! LOL!
("gajah" means elephant in malay kays)
So it means the drink size is extra big lah kan..
Well from what I see in Singapore, gajah size is BIG, but still not enough. right guys?
I ordered the gajah sized rootbeer float in Malaysia -
ah kau!! I thought they gave me a jug sia! wahahahaha!
They should name the size "ikan paus" (whale).
Without my sis, I don't think I can finish it on my own man. LOL!!

Then the car wash there. FUH~ RM10 only sia.
And boy do they give the car a good wash! scrubbed all the tyres, plus vacuuming somemore! ahahaha!
So that translates to like around S$3.50 here.
Where to get that price here you tell me! ahahaha! Here costs between S$8 to S$12++ lah seh.

Basically mum bought tons (ok not really tons lah) of kerepeks and keropoks, cakes and cokes..
ahahaha! it rhymes right? No lah no cokes... bought those few days ago already. Hee.

Alright that's all for today.
Take care! (^^,)

Remember to spend within your means this festive season yeah? hehe!

The most common and complicated problem in relationships...
Do girls need their guys to be there for them? Like really.
To always feel that they are being cared for, being thought of, and stuffs like that.

No?

She would think the boyfriend wouldn't care about her.

So its, Yes lah?

She would think the boyfriend is being too possessive, or I would say - annoying.
-__- "

So what now? Balance both answers ah? ahahahaha!
Or is it the infamous - YES MEANS NO, NO MEANS YES? ahahaha!

I certainly won't want to be viewed as being uncaring and annoying at the same time.
Tough huh? Yesss..!

Time is the only thing that can make perfect people go imperfect, then perfect again.

Get what I mean? hahahaha!

So how have you guys been doing?
This week is the last week of fasting, with many of you busy cleaning up the house, baking cookies and last minute shopping right?
As for me, still got quite a load in house cleaning man, but the baking part is all done bebeh! and the painting of the house almost done.

So today, I cleaned my room and abit of my sister's and mum's room, plus mopping.
Err I kinda forgot about cleaning the windows of all the rooms :P ahahaha!
Yeah mum just pointed that out minutes ago.. opps!

Maybe I'm just too tired.

All I wanted to do just now was just lay on the newly-mopped-lemon-scented-floor - and sleep.
wahahaha! Yeah sleepy sleepy. The weather was pretty cooling (it rained) towards the evening.
The more I wanted to snooze man..LOL!

Yesterday, I went to granny's place to help with the house cleaning.
Changed 4 curtains,
Clean the windows (the unit is on the 11th floor by the way. haha!),
Vacuuming and mopping.

ahahahha!
Yeah thats why I'm damn tired today. Hehe!

I wonder how the Micheal Jackson movie will be like..? =D

Oh about Singapore Idol, I can still be Nurul Huda's fan! YES AH! muahahaha!

You guys take care aite?! ;D

Saturday, September 12, 2009 at 1:47 AM
I just came back from Geylang lah siol. muahahaha!
Yup since Ramadan began, Sept 11th was the first time I stepped to Geylang bazaar,
probably my last, if mum has no last minute shopping. hehe!

I like going to places with alot of activities happening,
but I don't like huge crowds in cramp places. How ah? ahahaha!
Plus finding a place to park the car is as frustrating as figuring out why most women open their mouths when putting on mascara. LOL!

I saw Roslyana first!
Then I saw Farah!!
Then I saw Razila!

muahahahaha! One after another.
My mum and sis was like - Wah! .. LOL!! :P
Well at least I get to go out of the house instead of staying home doing nothing. Hee!

ALRIGHT.

I'm sure some of you are wondering what my exam results are..

RIGHT RIGHT?!

DON'T BLUFF LAH! MUAHAHAHA!

Liza! You must be one of them. WAHAHA!


Well I got good news and bad news..


Okay here goes....


The bad news is.. I ate too much and I have tummyache right now.


The good news is... I passed all my exams.


The super good news is.. I got the top 10% in my diploma cohort.


The super-duper good news is..

I'm eligible for TP's Diploma Plus Certificate. wahahahaha!
(Its an additional diploma certificate from Cross-disciplinary subject (CDS) clusters like Business, Design, IT, Engineering, Applied Science & Humanities.)

So its the Design cluster lah I'm choosing! (Like what else right?) wahahaha!
Hope I get through the application with my CDS cluster choice. Which is soon. O_O

So my grades?

Computer Mathematics 1 - A

Computer Systems - A

Web Design - D

Visualisation & Digital Techniques - D

Yup.

Oh "D" means Distinction by the way. MUAHAHAHA!

This is indeed Ramadan's blessing and I thank Almighty for it. (:
Got to work bloody much harder this time round and make my parents proud man! LOL!


After that workshop at S.A.M the other day
(with speakers from different media companies inspiring/psycho-ing me),
I think my career path will be in the Digital Media Industry.
I hope to reach that goal and beyond, God willing. :D
Work in Apple Asia Pacific maybe? the ultimate geek dream. HAHAHA! so far fetched huh?
Macam paham eh dane. :P

Oh! I hope you guys checked out Apple's latest product - iPod Nano with Video Cam! HAHA!
Cool gadget man..

Alright you guys take care and have a great weekend! (^^,)
My body clock is even more screwed up this time. =.=

Update on Thursday Sept 10th:

Going to Singapore Art Museum simply makes me happy. (I went there for a workshop)
I don't know why lah. ahahaha!

Guess I simply love looking at artworks!
I can spend half an hour in one gallery if I wanted to.
But the security guards there ah.. wahlauweh.
I cannot really "spend time" with awesome art pieces man...
I see the art, they stand one corner look at me, =.=
I can sense the incoming telepathic signals from that guard :
"Eh faster go away le, I wanna slack when you're gone, since no one else but you is here." or
"You better don't touch the art pieces man" or
"You look suspicious, I shall never take my eyes off you"

Eeeeeyer! Don't they have enough security cameras already? wahahahaha!

Looking at artworks was also a good way to divert myself from thinking about that buffet spread during lunch and teabreaks. ahahaha!


After more than 2 years since I last visit, this jigsaw puzzle thingy was still there. ahaha!

Well I'm going there again if I have the time!

An awesome and peaceful place to be in a world of my own. :D

Ok thats all! (:

Gonna continue on my next update. :P

Ok I watched Singapore Idol minutes ago.
Yes I got nothing else better to do. muahahahaha!

So below were the contestants in Group 2 and their songs:

1. Sezairi Sezali - Sunday Morning "Maroon 5"
2. Gabrielle Ferdinands - Thinking of You "Katy Perry"
3. Duane Ho - A Little Too Not Over You "David Archuleta"
4. Jonathan Cheok - (I was at the loo, I didn't catch the song name. LOL!)
5. Fathin Amira - Karmastition "Alicia Keys"
6. Sylvia Ratonel - Mercy "Duffy"
7. Faizal Isa - This Love "Maroon 5"
8. Charlene Torres-Tan - Can't Take My Eyes Off You "Frankie Villi"
9. Benjamin Chow - At Last "Etta James"
10. Samantha Lee - Don't Speak "No Doubt"
11. Justin Jap - So Sick "Ne-Yo"
12. Mae Sta Maria - Better In Time "Leona Lewis"

My Favourites!!
Sezairi
His singing is consistent, has a good and unique voice, yes, like what Dick said - he is cool.
Keep up the good performance!
He is my Male Pick!

Fathin
This girl knows how to work the stage man! Fuh~ Good performance for me. Great stage presence! Although I feel she should go with a lighter soulful kind of song. You go girl~!

Sylvia
Vocals wise, this girl is my Female Pick! She has the overall package. I can't really say much. She's good good good. She sings Mercy better than Duffy I think. hehe.

Faizal
Good stage performer, good vocals, however sometimes I do feel he sings "through the nose" lah. =P He can do better. He should have a big fan base by now. Hidhub!! WAHAHA!

Mae
Maria! She is another awesome singer! (Can I have a 2nd Female Pick? hehe!)
Good stage presence! She carried the song well! I LIKE.

My final thoughts..

Benjamin
Honestly, he is not my favourite at first, maybe because of his character which appear to be fake at times. His performance just now, shows me that he improved himself alot. He performed well. He didn't talk back to the judges! (wow). His voice indeed suit jazz songs. You didn't make it through, but you might go far doing singing performances in clubs/bars dude.

Charlene
I was hoping for her to get through can! She is a good singer, good voice! and my only guess she didn't made it is because of song choice AND phone voting. Don't give up Charlene! (:

Justin
A "surprising" winner by phone voting. ahaha! Theres nothing special about his performance honestly. I guess some doctors association or something voted for him hardcore man. Could be all the hospitals and clinics that vote for him. LOL!! Well he better sing like he wants to win in the next round man. Or else medical LEAVE for him! ahahaha!

Duane
Another surprising winner. This one I was really surprised! haha! But don't get me wrong, he is a pretty good singer. Some parts of the song that he sang, was carried well. Work harder dude.

Jonathan and Gabrielle
Both performances was not captivating enough. Like missing something lah.
Wrong song choice maybe?

Samantha
I can see that she was having major stage fright issues. Just wasn't at ease on stage. An ordinary performance lah, but well done for getting that far in the competition.

And ANOTHER surprise?
They decided to pick the 13th contestant to go to next round! I knew it. HAHA!
So instantly I eye-ed on Mae, Nurul and Charlene - poor victims of phone voting. LOL!
But of course among those 3, Mae was the strongest lah.. So yup, she made it through (:

Alright I already sound like a geeky reviewer. I know. muahaha!
Aiyah just my personal review only mahh.. You might have different opinion. hee!
But what the heck. I need something to blog about. WAHAHA!

Gawd tomorrow I'm having a web design workshop at Singapore Art Museum,
get this - from 8.30AM to 4.30PM!

With 2 teabreaks (possibly 3) and a 1.5 hours lunch break..
Can I survive this? O_O
LOL!!

Dunno if I should break fast at home or outside..hmmm.

Take care you guys! (^^,)

Was supposed to do more tarts today but mum was lazy. Infact she said "thats it, I'm tired.. I need rest.." ahahahaha! Yup last week she did raya cookies in hardcore mode. Spending more than 8 hours a day in the kitchen. Yeah she like to settle things fast, so more time to do something else later like - SPRING CLEANING O_O

Because of that, I woke up at 3pm. Nice.

Lately I have nothing much to update, cos literally, my life now (during the hols) has not been interesting. muahahah! Day after day of boredom.

So I do random stuffs, random drawings, random "whatever-is-in-my-mind"..

The exams results by SMS should be out tomorrow. Oh I signed up late for the service AND I didn't managed to apply it. So I have to rely checking the results online =.= LOL!

Yeah I delayed, and I forgot. Nevermind.

I hope you guys are doing fine no matter where you are. Oh yeah I see quite a number of you 5am+ come visit here aye.. ahahaha! after sahur can go online huh? You know Dane always update late one is it..?

Cute lah you people! LOL!! If me, I couldn't be bothered to on the com. Hee..

Alright you guys take care!

Subsequent updates might be short and simple, unless something inspires me to reeeeeally blog. hehe! bye! (^^,)

Today was a normal day. Bumming was the routine. ahahaha!
I read the online news about 3 wolves being charged the death penalty for killing sheeps more than they should. Like huh?

I thought we're supposed to conserve/protect animals?
I thought wolves have a place in the food chain and play a vital role in the ecosystem?

I don't know whats going on in this world man.
More improtantly, I don't know whats going to happen to that 3 wolves.
They don't know nothing about whats right and whats wrong anyway.
The only ones that can are US.

We the humans.

Wolves or other life forms in this world for that matter,
exist on Earth for a reason.

The most sensible thing to do now is have that little bloody thing called - tolerance.

Haiyah. I guess by now the animal rights activists are already there to protest. ahahaha!

Humans are becoming bizarre.
Even if we get past 2012 (like most would predict the-end-of-the-world is)
Earth would roughly survive till 2050, time when most scientist predict,
the global depletion of fossil fuels.
Add global warming on top of that.
How bizarre will humans be at that year eh?

I watched a documentary about Geo-Engineering,
Where few humans that care about the world tries
to invent machines or structures to counter global warming, saving the earth.
Theres this radical plan where they propose to make a Sun Shield in orbit,
to block a percentage of the Sun's rays.
But the plan would cost trillions of dollars in material and logistic expenses.
A humongous cost that will even bankrupt the world economy.

Come to think of it, do we really need the money?
Why does the world have to revolve around the paper note with that "$" sign?
A paper note that has a value, a value we only perceived its there?
Only our mind says it has value. The only thing people will kill for.

So.. Does Earth have to pay money to the Universe to save itself?

If money is taken off each and every soul, off the the face of earth,
will humans survive?
will the earth survive?

Humans do not want equality if you think about it. A sad fact.
Thats why theres the rich and the poor on this freaking world.

Anyways
I tried the "experimental" cereal choco coated cookies I suggested to mum,
and its still crispy bebeh!

The recipe for the cookie dough:

160gm butter

80gm fine sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

200gm of plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon bi-carbonate soda

Cereal amount according to you.

Just make the dough into small balls and throw them inside a bowl of cereal.
Squeeze together to get more cereal in.
Put them into paper cups.
This amount of dough makes about 2 baking trays.
Baking time is 20minutes at 160degrees.
Lastly pour any type of chocolate desired into the cups.

PS: This recipe might not be successful depending on your technique or ways,
important thing, is through trial and error.
Because mummy made alot of effort in coming up with this recipe (years I tell you),
I've ask for mum's permission and came up with the terms. and I have to respect those terms.
I've to say its a "family copyright" muahahaha!
Mum is choosy on who she wants to pass the recipe to lah..LOL!!

Oh its the recipe for my mum's power-to-the-max chocolate cookies. ;D

Have fun trying yeah?!

And thats all for today. Take care!! (:

Hello guys!
First and foremost I apologise for not being able to update as much these days.
It appears that my holidays got filled with tasks I need to attend and settle.
I haven't been going online as ritually as before infact. haha!
So expect interval updates yeah? (:


Earlier today I went for the first web design project meeting.
And it was awkward man. But it went pretty well.
The team from Design school did a good job in coming out with the mock-up designs
and I can see that the sites are fresh and professional.
Being more to aesthetics, I find that the design (for my team) suits my taste.
Although I'm still not quite sure what is needed for submission. hee!

Well they just sent me all the files mock-ups, flash, etc.
So I'm going to see what they've done and try to be in their focus.
Honestly, they've done a great job, and i'll try to be in their support in terms of IT.


Okay updates on raya cookies baking!
Up till now mum has made 5 kinds yaw.. ahaha! ok I try to name them in English kays?

1. Choco Tarts
Butter biscuit cup with chocolate filling. Simple.

2. Chocolate Cookies
Mum's famous hehe! Chocolicious babeh! LOL

3. Kuih Suji
Ok its a type of cookie/biscuit made of "Suji" flour, I think the transliteration for that is "Semolina" flour. ahaha! Aiyah its not plain flour thats for sure. Has a buttery texture & taste.

4. Rice Cereal Biscuit/cookie with Choco coating.
This is actually an experimentation I suggested to mum. ahahaha!
We actually did a test batch first to see how it goes, cos we're worried the rice cereal won't be crispy in one day after coating with chocolate. In the end, mum decided to make more cos it turns out okay. ahaha! But then again its just a one day lapse, dunno about 1 week though :-/ LOL!!

5. Peanut Cookies
This is a recipe by my grandma, and its GOOD! Mum's the handcore fan. ahahaha!
For peanut lovers man!
I made my own variation, (err just 2 pieces. ahaha!) with chocolate coating! muahaha!
NICE also!

INFACT! I suggested mum that the chocolate cookies be dipped into melted chocolate!!
I tried and its damn heavenly I tell you. ahahahah!


But mum said "Don't want lah! .. Everything chocolate lah like that!"
"Dip chocolate definately all nice lah..!" she laughed. ahahahha!

Omg.. I crave chocolate now like never before man. LOL!!

So it's 2 more types to go!
Pineapple Tarts, and a cookie name I can't recall. ahahaha!
It turns out mum made 7 types this year. =.=
Ok just 1 more than originally said, so still okay. haha!


Alright.
The Singapore Idol.

I just watched the show 1.5 hours ago.
Yeah I dunno why what drives me to watch, but I did.
Maybe cos the whole family was watching. muahaha!
Anyways, the performance tonight was rather moderate.
Some of the contestants gave me the chills (the GOOD one), some not.
Some gave me the "WTF? look".. ahaha!

In my opinion, the good ones for that show were,
MJ, Jannah, Farhan, Malaque, Nurul, Tabitha and Syltra.

Below are the sequence of singers and their songs (some songs..haha):

1. Charles "Stitch" Wong - Howie Day "Collide"
2. Frances Maria - Pink "So What"
3. MJ Kuok (didn't catch the song name)
4. Jannah Shaharuddin - Alicia Keys "No One"
5. Farhan Shah - Jonas Brothers "When You Look Me In The Eyes"
6. Ryan Lee - (didn't catch the song name)
7. Malaque Mahdaly - (didn't catch the song name)
8. Nurul Huda - Rihanna "Rehab"
9. Theodore Teow - (didn't catch the song name)
10. Douglas Wong - Fray "How To Save A Life"
11. Tabitha Nauser - "One Night Only" (dunno by who)
12. Syltra Lee - Kt Tunstall "Black Horse And Cherry Tree"

The worse and disappointing performance was by Frances Maria.
SHE CHOSE THE WRONG FREAKIN' SONG!
Pink?! So What?!! What the #$@!?
Its a piano base performance and she chose that song? It sounds awful for sakes!
She can do better, she has a strong voice, instead she chose that fast-paced-no-technique kind of song. Wahlauweh. And that song ANNOYS me alot for some reason. ahaha!
Maria didn't make it through for that bad song choice.. "So What" right? =.=

Although Jannah did not make it (sadly) I thought she chose the right song, cos that song IS piano based. So at least she does not sound bad.

The ones playing guitar will have added advantage, guitars go well with pianos for me personally. If they can sing, then definately they have a higher chance of getting through.

I'm guessing Farhan Shah has fans now, Hidhub confirm chop one of them! WAHAHAHA!
Yeah he's good looking. OMG I sound gay. He sings rather well too, BUT has more potential. Hope he does better next round. Dick says he has no X-factor?

Nurul Huda....
HAIZ. Sad sia she didn't make it through! Not that I find her damn adorable lah (hehehe!) but she can sing what?! Rehab was a hard song to bring, but she managed it well mah.
See lah! Everytime I spot someone to be a fan of, he/she got kicked out. Nabey.
"I used to work at 7-11 you know" (i think thats what she said) ahahaha! she's cute lah can?! Apparently I used to work 7-11 too! muahahaha! Ok shuddup Dane. :P

MJ Kuok. This guy is cool. Has a good voice, good musician, and the potential to bring out more. He looks like one Singapore actor though. ahaha!

Syltra Lee... This girl rocks!
However she looks familiar. Hmmm. Again, hope she does better in the next round.

Ryan Lee.. AHAHAHA! ok I do not wanna be bad, but I guess its alright that he's out.
This guy has an attitude I dislike, which I see during the auditions week. That cost you dude.

Ok dah lah. I do not want to sound like a reviewer here.. ahahahaha!!

SO those who got through.. Charles, MJ, Farhan, Malaque, Tabitha and Syltra.

By now you guys should see the pattern.
Phone Voting - The Guys will win, the Girls lose.
Judges Vote - The Girls might win, the Guys.. may not lose.

My Analysis: Girls tend to support Boys more than Boys support Girls.
SORRY TO SAY, ITS A FACT.

Girls can momentarily go crazy for the boy, crazily pick up the phone and crazily vote.

Boys on the other hand,
can momentarily go crazy for the girl, open eyes and mouth big-big, and they just damn lazy/"bo chap" to vote. LOL!!
So girls - HUGE disadvantage!

Eh I voted on Nurul okay! err.. 1 vote. wahahahaha! But still I voted!! Yeah I voted cos I know girls have to potential to be kicked out by phone voting. But still - she kena kick out! D'oh!
I no need to vote for guys one lah.. got thousands of ogling girls out there voting already. ahahaha!

Okay I write too much today.. muahahahaha! Sorrie.

So tomorrow mum wants me to follow go Geylang Market buy groceries and baking stuff. LOL!
Wahlau... in the morning man! Endurance at its limit! Hope I don't get cranky lah can.
Patience patience! Maybe do the mental preparation before going for that "wet and wild adventure". ahahahaha!

Oklah. Don't know if I'll be updating tomorrow, If I don't you should know why lah kay.
House/Kitchenwork & Web Project...

You guys takecare yeah?! (^^,)

Didn't go online. Dumped my phone somewhere.
Just wanna be alone, and be left alone. hehe!

Oh dear.. I feel so tired easily. I need to look forward to something.

Let me have the time,
Let me acquire inspirations.
