“More than 14 hours after emerging as the Singapore Idol, man of soul Hady Mirza tells us this morning in an exclusive half-hour interview that he still. Doesn’t. Quite. Believe. The. Good. News.” – taken from the SI website




i.freaking.cant.believe.it.too.that.hady.won.




I smsed once after they performed on sunday. I smsed on my mom’s phone once when the result show started. I smsed another one on both mine and mom’s phone when taufik+hady+jon sang I Dream. I pestered my older sister to put in 3 votes. I sent out a mass sms to all my friends to vote for hady. Zuli told me she voted 10times for him. I pestered firzan to put in more votes for hady totaling up to 6. I asked him to vote for me 3 times and I’ll pay him back when I meet him. I begged nadhir to vote 5 times for hady. And I still cant believe he won.




I was receiving all kinds of sms-es saying jon is leading by 4000votes and that sparked me to tell all my friends to vote for him. Atie was saying that Jon’s going to win and that her boyfriend found out from somewhere that they know jon won already. I was expecting Jon going to win lar!




I was shouting like crazy during the results show. I will shout out to the window going “HADY!! AAAHHHHH!!!” a few times. My sister even said, “eh later people complain then you know.” =p




When gurmit mentioned Hady’s name first, me and my sister were jumping and shouting like people ready for admission to the IMH! I think it was even worse than that. I was screaming at the top of my lungs and I even cried from all that happiness and excitement! It was freaking amazing. We were at our highest tone, me and my older sis was jumping and jumping and holding each other’s hands. Can you imagine how we looked like?? Like monkeys.




So amidst Hady and Jon was hugging on screen, I was asking, “EH ARE YOU SURE HADY WON??? OR DID GURMIT MENTION HE WAS THE RUNNER-UP? ARE YOU SURE???” It was unbelievable ahhhh!! But by the time, my throat was already hurting and my eyes were all watery. Wow, yesterday was like the best day ever in the history of these reality shows.




I’m going to buy Hady’s album when it’s out. FOR SURE.




(and now we voters are left to foot our bill for our sms-es/calls. If only we could claim from hady.)

school started 2 days ago. and so far, i think it's not that bad afterall. i had one familiar face to look forward to on my first day and thank god our group wasn't re-shuffled. i made friends with my team members, exhanged msn contacts. thats what we usually do to start our conversations.



i could remember on the first day daphne thought i was 'dao' aka 'action' when we were first teamed up together and to get ourselves talking, she asked whats my email add. hahaha. and now, we're like so familiar with each other. sometimes i wonder, will there ever be someone in this class that would be like the friends i made with in the past classes? i so miss the people who i see everyday, stepping into class with my slumber face each morning.



on my 2nd day, the groups were reshuffled and amazingly, I like my group. I think we got along quite well and even went for breakfast together. It was nice.



i went for a jog yesterday around my neighbourhood. i went on last wednesday with my sis and she kept talking and talking while we're jogging.


in my heart i was like, "eh this person. people jog how can talk. you're like gasping for air while running and she can still talk talk. talk about the house lah. so fast it's built lah. walaoeh."


Then each time I have to take off my earphones to listen to what she got to say.



So about yesterday, i was jogging alone listening to the radio, class95. i've always liked the 'kartuns' segment. By the time i reached the fitness corner behind prime, it was time for 'love songs' with yaz. eeeeee, i don like. her voice like make make one. (like the surianni from anuskrin. yucks.)


Oklah so, while i was using doing my own thing at the fitness corner, i saw this couple with the wife heavily pregnant. I thought the husband was quite gd looking and wasn't sure if he was her son or the husband. they took a stroll along the park and when they reached the route where there were no souls present, the husband grabbed the wife by the waist and gave a few smooches to the wife. isn't that sweet? i suddenly feel so... so... i cannot explain it. not jealous but, kind of aaaaawwwwwww.... feeling. get what i mean?




After that, I saw this group of boys coming from the basketball court and a familiar face made my wandering eyes focused on him. omg, its 'kobis' whom i had a hard crush on during my sec sch days. he was with some friends which i was familiar with too.


they didn't see me. i saw them. and suddenly, i felt so sad. i had this sudden feel of loneliness and sadness. i was rewinded to the days where i spent wonderful days with my secondary school days and where i kept giving him this stares at the canteen. we then had our usual eating spots and i would always grab that opportunity look at him. he's adorable and sweet. and still is.



i took my 'crushes' quite seriously those days. i let out a tear looking at him walk away. it was too short. i wanted more time to look at him. i wish i could run to him and take a good look at him one last time that would last me my lifetime. and the radio wasn't helping. they were airing those love songs which made me even more helpless.



(eh i wanna buy the waterproof camera ah. can take pictures underwater. it'd be so fun. $24. good buy or not?)

i started working last monday. at the john little mega expo sale. as a basket collector. and please, stop laughing. thank you.




basically our job is to replenish the stock of the baskets for the customer to use during their shopping. yes it sounds easy but we have to fold the crooked bags, collect back the trolleys, seal customer's plastic bags when entering, explain the procedure of making an exchange/refund, and make sure we have 246 trolleys each time we start the day and for that, we have to walk one whole carpark and mrt station to find the trolleys that has been 'stolen' from the customers. okok, actually it's such a simple job lah. hahahha. but not when there are customers that just love to go against the rules!




today i stayed over at the entrance, having the responsibility to seal the plastic bags. and there was one uncle(ahpek) and his wife coming in with a johnlittle red plastic bag. He was so rushing into the store that I had no time to stop him to seal the bag so i kinda pulled the bag and said I needed to seal it.




let's do abit of scriptwriting shall we. haha.




(as i put my cable tie around his plastic bag, he pulled the plastic bag away)


ahpek: i want to do an exchange! why you need to seal my bag??


me: you can do an exchange but I'll need to seal your bag first. with this you take the item you want to make an exchange with and go to the cashier counter.


ahpek: yah! but why you need to seal my bag?? so stupid. I need to take out the thing inside later anyway what!


me: (with my already 'tak boleh tahan' tone) but you can go in and then put other things inside what.


ahpek: no no. i don't want you to seal the bag! so stupid! call your boss here, i want to speak to him. (like hello! it's our boss that instructs us to do this! whose stupid now??)


me: don't worry, i'll just seal the your bag, when you approach the counter, they'll cut it for you.
ahpek: (making alot of noise and saying the 'stupid' word a number of times.)




(his wife was there, and she was the nice one. She actually said in chinese, aiyah nevermind lah. just let them seal. but the husband like crazy stubborn!! he still insisted on not letting us seal it. then the wife gave to us this face like 'layankan je lah' aka 'aiyah just entertain him ah..' kind of face. i could see that the wife is immune to this kind of chaos her husband makes.)




then kynn came.


kynn: but this is the company's policy.


ahpek: what kind of stupid policy is this?? right before i come into the shop, u think i'm a thief and want to steal the things??!




after that, he just walked into the expo. making alot of noise along the way. and the wife was still nice, requested for a shopping bag and gave us a smile. and in the end, we still didn't get to seal the bag. what a waste of energy. this kind of people should attend character-building classes.




and as normal singaporean teenagers. we almost expressed these out in front of him. almost. but customer's always right, right? right...



kynn --wt-f!!!


me -- cb!!


(in full term if you get what i mean.)




working as the cashier previously was so much more fun. the pay was better.







excerpt from the song in the show, magicians of love. oh im so in love with this song now. come sing-along the chorus with me. i know you sound bad but it doesn't matter.



Chorus:

kan zhe ni yao zou hai zhuang zhe xiao rong

yan shi de cui ruo yao cheng duo jiu

ru guo xian zai kai kou ru he wan liu

gan qing zhe tiao xian zhu ding zhi neng zhe me yuan



english translation:

Looking at you leave,I still faked a smile

How long do I need to keep up my disguise of weakness

If I talk about it now, how do I keep hold of it

This string of love is destined to be only this long



aaaaahhh....the lyrics so sweet. you'd cry listening to it if you've already watched the show. i did.

its just the beginning
