Just finished watching Project Superstar on Channel U. Will share my thoughts on that later. Some friends actually called me up to ask what's with the SAF charge. Well, I had arrived in camp on that day by a cab as I was afraid that I will be late. I was giving my utmost respect to SAF by trying not to be late and waste their time. But to my annoyance, I was made to wait for 4 hours before being allowed to meet up with the Officer in charge. See, those bunch of incompetent fools at my camp had arranged for all 40 NSMen to go back at the same bloody time. I was no 30 when I arrived there. We were made to seat in a room while they took their own sweet time talking to us one by one. A smarter way wil be to ask us back at a staggered timing. But then, they are not call SAF for nothing. Such a major organisation and yet we were still made to wait for 4 hours. To make things worse, we had to pay a fine of $50 in cash. No notice was served to us about this and we were made to walk for around 15 mins before the nearest ATM. In such modern times, our "modern" army can't accept Nets nor cheque. I think all this will let you decide just how efficient our army is.
No offence to fans of Wei Lian. Even though I had predicted that he will win, I think that the best man or should I say lady didn't win the competition. I think even fans of him got to agree that sympathy votes is a definite factor in him winning. I had made 6 votes to him as requested by my mum. Knowing my mum who is very careful with her money, this came as a surprise. Her thinking was that he got a decent voice, great courage and a need for us to help him fulfil his dreams as he is lacking in other areas. Well, I got to admit that I was touched by the courage he had shown throughout the contest but is courage all we need to be a superstar? I thought that he was lucky to be in the final. To win it is simply amazing. Even my mum had called me at 9.30 to stop my voting for him. She had given up on him as she felt that he wasn't really on top of his form and Kelly really is getting better and better. Anyway, this is just a contest and all the best to them. See where Sly is at after a year S'pore Idol ended. Shooting Stars?? I didn't even bother watching a single episode.
I will be going for an interview tomorrow. If all goes well, I should be leaving my existing job before the end of next week. The final straw that made me decide to move is getting a job for the company which is potentially a big deal only for the MD to tell me that the company don't have the ability to do it. The ironic part is tat he was the one who is barking me about my lack of sales. To put it simply, I had enough.
Last thing to say here. I can't believe that Tottenham Hotspurs had gotten Jermaine Jenas. He is one of my favourite midfielders and I rate him very highly. How is he going to get into the first 11 baffles me. We had two great central midfielders in Davids and Carrick and a bunch of talent on the bench. I am really hopeful that we will at least finish in the top 5 this year. This is the best Spurs squad that I had ever seen in my 15 years of supporting the club. Come on you Spurs!!!
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
