Dancing it out with a BANG!

OOOOHHHH!! Dancing with the stars has ended, with a bang and with the moon!! All great stuffs...

Unfortunately my favourite couple didn't win. Ada and Aric obviously had a stronger fan base. Chris and Trenton couldn't beat that after securing another round of perfect scores. However I am so proud of them and screamed my way through. They are fantastic. Double perfect scores!!!

Harry it forward!

With all the news of the latest instalment of the wizardly hot HP series - The Goblet of Fire, I am getting all excited and unrest.

Awwwww....Premiere of the movie in London a couple of days ago...Suddenly I wish that I was in London.

It's gonna kill me - worse than any unforgivable curse when all the reviews and block-office results come into the media in one and a half week's time. I'll regret not being anywhere else in the world but Australia.

Now when can I take the Apparition test?

The Types of Ass Wipes

The Wad Maker
This person could go through a roll of toilet paper in one visit. They grab the roll of paper and spin off a tree's worth of paper, wad it up into a tight ball and wipe one time. They then repeat. These people are known to have industrial plungers in their homes to clear the clogs they create. You will also find their house to be cluttered, but still clean.

The Folder
This anal retentive person will take the needed amount of paper and fold it into several strips which will each be used for wiping. Usually this is done in preparation of the wipe with each folded tissue laying in wait on the owners leg. This person's home is immaculate. Often you could eat off the floor it is so clean. The person is a control freak, and likes things done her/his way.

The Miser
This cheapo son of a bitch is someone to avoid al all costs. The Miser will split the two ply paper into a single ply and only use one square. The Miser will date you, but will only take you to McDonald's with a 2 for 1 coupon.

The Heart Breaker
This is actually every ex-boyfriend because really...aren't all ex's ass wipes?

The Blotter
Often teamed up with a bidet, this users blots dry or clean. They are very tender people, who understand the necessity of a light touch at times. Excellent with wound care.

The Scrubber
This person will either be a Folder or a Wad Maker. The technique they will use is to thoroughly wipe backwards and forwards insure that they truely are clean. These people have clean windows and waxed floors.

HUNG UP on MADGEsty

Madonna stole the show at the MTV Europe Music Awards today with the first live televised performance of her new single Hung Up, emerging from a giant glitter ball wearing purple leather boots and matching leotard.

Robbie Williams: "She's amazing. She's an absolute legend. I can't believe she's 89 and looks like that."

Been listening to "HUNG UP" myself - it's a great track. Full of energy. Went to Sanity yesterday to get the single but it wasn't out yet.... I'll hang you!!

I'd luv to have that tee!!!

Oh nO nO

Melbourne's transport system is slowly failing, a world expert says. The Government says the train system is near capacity and will soon be unable to cope with more passengers. Figures released last week show late running continues to worsen and public confidence is low.

MELBOURNE'S dysfunctional public transport system will grind to a halt without massive investment, becoming a liability for the city's much-vaunted liveability.

A major report, to be launched by Transport Minister Peter Batchelor on Monday, finds the city's transport system compares poorly with the other top 14 cities in the annual liveability rankings.

This year, Victoria's capital slipped to second place in the rankings, published by The Economist magazine, losing its most liveable crown to the Canadian city of Vancouver. Without drastic action, Melbourne's growing transport needs will cause the city to slip further, the study, Most Liveable and Best Connected?, says.

"Melbourne's public transport network as a whole struggles to offer a time-competitive alternative to car travel on almost any trip. Each public transport mode in Melbourne — trains, trams and buses — requires far-reaching innovations, in terms of operation and infrastructure, to offer premium standards of service such as those that help other cities perform better."

Because of You Kelly Clarkson

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hardI've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hardI've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you ohhhhhhhhh
because of youuuuuuuuu

Because of you

I am touched by the song and Kelly's interpratation. Haven't heard such a powerful ballad for quite some time already, apart from MC's "We Belong Together". Cried a little the first few times I heard this song, especially around the last few phrases...

Back at home

The weather today has tropicalised Melbourne. I just feel like I am back in Malaysia where I sweat so easily and constantly feel sticky.

SHOWer time.

Dancing with Chris and Trenton

I have to say that getting this entry posted has taken more times that I anticipated. Several comp crashes and someone sent me a powerpoint presentation which closed every IE when it was opened. Yet I am trying again now.

This is the couple I fell in love with since day 1. They were at #1 for 5 consecutive weeks. With such a high bar set, challenges are hard to get by from other couples, as well as themselves. Having said that, they keep on trying every week and stay in the top 2 or 3 positions after the first 5 stunning weeks.

Trent is the professional dancer - he has had extensive training in dance and acting, having studied at the Bodenweiser Dance Centre, Sydney Dance Company, and The Actors Centre in Sydney. He also boasts a degree in acting from Queensland University of Technology’s Academy of the Arts.

His ballroom dancing history includes being the Australian Latin American and Ballroom Dance Champion, and representing Australian at world titles in Switzerland, Germany and England. He is a freelance choreographer and teaches Latin American and Ballroom dancing in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and North America. Did I mention that he was deliciously hot and the reason I watch the show?

Chris is the anchor of the Seven Network's national 10:30am Morning News. She was part of Seven's host team for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and co-hosted the prelude to the Opening Ceremony live on stage at the Olympic stadium, while seven months pregnant with her first child. After having son Darcy in late 2000, she returned to political interviewing in 2001 as anchor of Sunday Sunrise and stayed for three years. Darcy is sooooooo cute - he is at the show every week supporting his mommy with a fan banner. When asked what score would he give mummy, he'd say ten.

And good gracious - their rumba last night led them to another level - perfect scores from the judges! About time ain't it? Trenton has always been told that he gives very good choreography that suits both of them. Chris is the super determined lady that danced even better when she had an ankle injury!

It's the final show next week and I wont miss it for the exam. If you wanna vote for them, sms "CHRIS" to 194777 or call 1902 555 014.

周萧邦

我们的周董发片了。这是一年一度中文乐坛盛事，我又怎能不知晓呢？当我在报章上看到其专辑名称时，心里的怒意不由自主地上升。

周某的音乐一向不是我喜好的一杯茶，好听与否对我没有太大的影响，只怕我室友24/7狂播周杰伦，那我不得不干掉叶惠美或侯xx。

这一次发片，令我发指的是周杰伦竟然动用萧邦之名，作为他新片专辑的名称。《十一月的萧邦》，这实在是太骄傲了。周杰伦何能何耐，竟而自封萧邦，未免对我们的音乐神童有所不敬。下一张他岂不是要自封音乐之神？

歌神如张学友，其美誉都是拜媒体朋友所赐，张歌神并没把高帽往自己头上套。周董却自己封神，看来中文乐坛实在是没有什么可以期待的人材了。
