Britain's Got Talent - Aiden Davis

Aiden Davis is one hell of a dancer!! He is so talented and absolutely charming!! His dance act on episode 6 of Britain's Got Talent 09 was electrifying and was definitely WAY better than last year's winner, George Sampson. A real talent at such a young age!

Susan Boyles -> overhyped! She's really good I agree but we've had enough singing talents, I say vote for Aiden!!!! ♥♥




Don't you think the way he smiles, and the way he looked at his mom for reassurance is SO adorable? *gushes* Now, if only he was much older! ♥ love the eyes and the smile! =P

The L word - Final Season

Final Season (Season 6) of the L word returning on January 18, 2009!! YAY!! ♥

Heroes Season 3 Premiere Screening Party @ GV VivoCity

31.11.2008 (Friday)

I was fortunate to be picked by Ripplevox to attend the Heroes Season 3 Premiere Screening Party at GV VivoCity held by Starworld last Friday. Being able to watch the first 2 episodes on the big screen was something I was really looking forward to! After all, it beats watching them on my small pathetic monitor screen anytime (which I have been doing so for the past 2 seasons).

Anyhows, not knowing what to expect, I headed down to VivoCity and was thrilled to see HUGE posters of SYLAR ♥ and the other characters plastered onto the walls at GV! =D Since my friend was running late, I decided to get our passes and goodie bag first, JUST IN CASE they ran out of it! (inborn kaisu-ism lar, singaporean mah!)

The Pass/Invitation Card! Nice hor.

Suddenly out of nowhere, these cheerleaders with goth-like make up came in. I didn't get the whole look really. It was just weird! More over, they didn't even do anything else other than just pose for cameras. Weren't they, as cheerleaders, supposed to cheer or dance or do some cheerleading related stuff at least? Well, I like the uniform though.

The Cheerleaders

Envy and myself with the scary looking cheerleaders!

While the invited guests proceded to the buffet table, I went around taking pictures with the standees and other posters! (I wish they had more of sylar!)

Sylar looking bad ass! ♥

A mini quiz game thing went on during the party where participants would receive the latest Heroes graphic novel if they answered the questions correctly. Such an easy task, so why not?

I was asked which character I liked best,why and what super ability would I choose if I were given a choice. Sylar was my choice (duh) because he is hot and bad ass! haha! There is so much about him that you want to find out about, to see how his brain works, what he is thinking about and many more. Heroes would definitely be boring without him.XD I chose the power of the mind for my super ability because with the ability to manipulate and control the minds of others, nothing is impossible! I do hope Matt Parkman's ability would improve and exceed his dad's.

Answering the question.

with Envy!

Stuff from the goodie bag!
(Clockwise) The Heroes Graphic Novel that I won, a paper tote bag, some cardboard folder, notebook and Heroes T-shirt!

Review

(Contains Spoilers!)


HEROES Season 3: VILLIANS

The show starts off 4 years in the future. We see future scar-faced Peter being chased and ends up being held at gun point by Claire. As Claire shoots, Peter stops Claire and time travels to present day. So who's the bad or good guy now?

We see hotter, tougher, less whiney Claire here with future Peter whose mouth to me looks even more crooked than usual. =X

We also find out who was it who shot Nathan and it was none other than future Peter! *SHOCKS* So anyways, Nathan dies but miraculously revives from the dead! What is happening? Nathan decides to not tell the truth about them anymore and believed it was the work of God that saved him. We then get a suprising visit by none other than Linderman! Just when I thought the old man was gone. So was it Linderman that saved Nathan?

Peter kissing his dead brother.

Linderman still alive??!

While all these were happening, Sylar manages to find Claire and slices her head open! Yay! Well done sylar!


So apparently, Sylar doesn't eat the brains of his victims to get their powers. He studies them by prodding and digging the brain. ♥ Here we see Sylar studying Claire's brain.

Claire: Aren't you going to eat my brain?
Sylar: Eat your brain? Claire, that's disgusting.

As I thought Claire was FINALLY going to die, Sylar tells her she can't die. pfft. oh well I should have known but at least now Sylar is immortal too!! haha!




In Japan at Yamagoto Industries, we see a bored Hiro talking to Ando when he receives a video tape from his late father, telling him not to open the safe. Hiro does the opposite and finds another tape telling him that he wasn't supposed to open the safe. Nonetheless, Hiro finds half of a secret formula and before he could decipher it, it gets stolen in a flash! Hiro stops time and we are introduced to a new character Daphne, a speedster! Later in the episode, Hiro travels to the future to see how the world is destroyed and sees himself getting killed by Ando!!

Ando has powers too??

In the Butterfly effect, Mama Petrelli enters the company's basement only to find Hiro, Matt, Peter and Mr Bennet dead, while Claire's head was being pulled off by one of the villians. Mama Petrelli then sees Adam (omg I thought he's dead?), someone who looks like niki, papa parkman and the black guy who's name I forgot. It seemed to be her turn next. Then to my surprise, Sylar appears from behind and places his shoulder on mama petrelli's shoulder!! Did Sylar join the good side?? Mama Petrelli then wakes up and realises its a dream.


Meanwhile, prata man Mohinder has been experimenting on himself with a new formula that he came up with. The injection that he gave himself in the previous episode allowed him to have superhuman strength and climb walls! Like Spiderman perhaps? XD

Prata man showing off his abilites to Maya.

We also see romance between Maya and Mohinder. Seriously, that was super gross. I don't even know why Maya is still in the show. She doesn't add to the development of the story and she is still sooo annoying! Mohinder, despite my dislike for him, is still unfortunately a rather important character in the series. Personally I think the producers just wanted to add a sex scene to spice up the episode. It was just the wrong couple unfortunately. Mohinder and Maya. *shudders*



Some side effects however to his new found abilities. Is he moulting? Shedding skin? Doesn't this remind you of The Fly with the climbing of walls and now this? Hmm losing originality much?

Prata Man sheding flesh? skin?

The episode ends with a shocking revalation! Mama Petrelli enters the cell with Sylar (he was captured somewhere during the episode) and tells him she's his mom. OMFG.


Overall, the new season of Heroes looks promising! So be sure to catch the episodes on Starworld (Channel 18) every Thursday at 10pm!!



Lastly, I would really like to thank Lin, Ripplevox and Starworld for giving me the opportunity to attend this wonderful event. I enjoyed myself alot and watching Heroes on the big screen was really awesome! ^__^ THANK YOU!

I'm still alive!

oh wow it has been eons since I've updated this blog! I guess I didn't have the opportunity to do so ever since I returned from Europe. Anyway, pics will be right up shortly, but first! Here's the movie that I talked about in my previous post, The Fall by Tarsem Singh!

Tarsem Singh's Movie - The Fall

For fans of Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies, you will be happy to find him as Roy Walker as the lead star in The Fall, a 2006 film by Tarsem Singh.


Taken from Wiki,

"The movie's story centers around Roy Walker, a bedridden man in a hospital, who befriends a fellow patient, a young girl called Alexandria, and starts telling her a vivid, fantastical story of exotic lands. The trailer names a group of five steampunk staple heroes, an Indian, an ex-slave, an explosive expert, a masked bandit, and in a bit of revisionist history, famed evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin. They unite to fight a common enemy, Gov. Odious, the "bad man."The Fall premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. For its wide theatrical release in 2008, the film is presented by David Fincher & Spike Jonze."

With stunning visuals and wonderful music, this is one show definitely worth watching! The only problem is wondering if it will be shown in theaters here in Singapore! I really hope they do because this is something you really have to watch on the big screen to really enjoy it.

Check out some of the movie stills and the trailer at the end. Awesome movie I say!

Lee Pace as Roy Walker and Catinca Untaru as Alexandria

Beautiful work ya!

Madonna's 'Hard Candy' Album Launch Party @ Zouk

Many thanks to Ripplevox, I was able to snag an invite for 2 to Madonna's 'Hard Candy' album launch party held at Zouk yesterday! Having thought the event was at 7pm, my sis and I rushed all the way down in a cab, only to find out it was going to start at 8pm after we reached!

Following the theme of the event, the organisers had set up a cotton candy floss booth outside the entrance of Zouk and we were delighted to find out that it was free for all!! ♥

After queuing up for quite a while in the heat (yes it was still so hot even though it was night), we finally got inside! Hallelujah for air-conditioning! Upon entering, we were welcomed by 4 hot and saucy candy girls who offered us snacks and candies of all sorts! Now how could we refuse candy? Let alone candy given away by beautiful women? XD Other freebies included a Live Earth DVD+CD compilation and cocktail coupons!

Wondering what was going to happen for the evening, we were surprised to find a huge boxing ring right in the middle of the dance floor! There was going to be a Muay Thai, all girls only, kick-boxing match! I know most people must be wondering what has Muay Thai got to do with Madonna? Well, Madonna was trained in Muay Thai before and so I guess the organisers felt that this tiny link between Muay Thai and Madonna was sufficient to make it the main highlight of the evening. Beats me either. I thought a dance off competition or a look-alike competition would be more appropriate.

Nonetheless, we quickly got our drinks and stationed ourselves right next to the ring where we would be able to view the match up close. The lights dimmed, the music softened and we spotted MTV VJ Taya entering the ring! As our emcee for the night, she introduced the fighters for the night and the fight began! As we know, its always more exciting to see 2 chicks fighting, especially chicks who look great and have fantastic bods,therefore it wasn't surprising to find the audience (mainly the male audience) cheering and clapping for their favourite girl. Now what is an event without eye candy for the ladies as well? It was the ladies turn to cheer and clap when bare chested male models graced the stage holding "ROUND 1", "ROUND 2" and "ROUND 3" signboards during the intervals! Haha now everyone could be happy. =)

There were 2 matches altogether and both matches ended up in a draw, thus the audience ended up helping decide who was going to walk away with a Samsung mp3 player as the prize. In between the matches, there were also mini quiz and games where contestants had to compete against each other to win prizes. They were quizzed, of course, on Madonna related stuff.

The night ended with the lucky draw which both my sis and I were not that lucky to win anything. =( A great event after all and thanks once again to Ripplevox for inviting us!

The Invite!

Lord of the Flies

LORD OF THE FLIES

Lord of the Flies by William Golding has got to be one of my favourite novel of all time. I remembered being introduced to this amazing novel when I had to perform a scene (as Simon! XD) from this book for my LAMDA group recital exam piece back in 2000 and later as my O level literature text in 2002. Basing much of his plot and some characters on the book, The Coral Island by Robert M. Ballantyne, William Golding writes this allegoric novel (a literary work in which characters, events, objects, and ideas have secondary or symbolic meanings) about a group of British school boys stuck on a deserted island after surviving a plane crash during a world war. The boys later try to govern themselves with disastrous end results. A fantastic story with its theme reflecting the dark side of human beings that can cause the breakdown of society if it overpowers reason and right thinking.

As William Golding explained,

"The theme is an attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature. The moral is that the shape of a society must depend on the ethical nature of the individual and not on any political system however apparently logical or respectable. The whole book is symbolic in nature except the rescue in the end where adult life appears, dignified and capable, but in reality enmeshed in the same evil as the symbolic life of the children on the island. The officer, having interrupted a man-hunt, prepares to take the children off the island in a cruiser which will presently be hunting its enemy in the same implacable way. And who will rescue the adult and his cruiser? (E.L. Epstein. "Notes on Lord of the Flies." The Lord of the Flies, by William Golding. New York: Berkley Publishing Group, 1954, Page 204)."

Not only is this novel exciting, it has many hidden meanings and it tells us about us, about our culture and the world we live in. A highly recommended read for all and for those who have read it, play the Lord of the Flies Game over at Nobelprize.org.

And here is the film adaption of Lord of the Flies. Do watch it!!

Cyril Takayama in Room 401

If you have not heard of Cyril Takayama, you must be one of the very few who have not. This amazing street magician whose famous tricks were the Cheeseburger, Lacoste and head falling off his shoulders trick, is extremely popular in Japan! He is said to be as good as or even better than David Blaine! Not only is he rather good looking (to me XD), he is very talented and funny!

Ok so anyways, I recently started watching this TV series called Room 401 recommended by Clarice. Room 401 is horror prank show hosted by Jared Padalecki from Supernatural and produced by Ashton Kutcher so I guess you can think of it as a scary version of Punk'd. In each episode, there are four scary situations where illusionists around the world come together to scare the living lights of unsuspecting victims! XD

In the following video, we have Cyril Takayama as our guest illusionist! Performing his signature "head dropping" trick, he scares other bus riders on the bus with this trick!

I think guys who know how to do magic tricks can score really well with the ladies. Its really the best pick up method! First of all, its something different and secondly, she'll be entertained and she'll definitely remember you! Watching magic tricks done on videos is really different from seeing it live and I'm fortunate enough to have experienced "magic" in real life thanks to Daryl who I feel is one of the best. Daryl is amazing and he has never failed to entertain us with his card tricks whenever we meet up. No matter how many times we've seen him do his magic, we are never tired of it! Check out some of his videos that he has uploaded on youtube!

Cute Commercials done by Kids

Because I've always loved the commercials shown by my lecturer for my marketing class in school last year, I just thought I would like to share some memorable ones that I found online.

This one was for a 'protected sex' campaign.
Hilarious and totally brilliant!

WE WILL ROCK YOU - Queen Musical!

We will rock you, a musical by Queen and Ben Elton blew my mind away today! The costumes, set and most importantly, the Queen songs were awesome!! Queen fans or not would enjoy and love the show to the max! Having seated 11 rows from the front, it was by far the best seat I've sat in for any musicals at the esplanade! To top it off, Vane and I only got our tickets for $50 at student price! We were actually willing to pay $140 for the best seats since we both loved Queen so much therefore it was a steal when we got them at such a cheap price!! I LOVE being a student!

The show was spectacular with fantastic music played by the live band. I particularly loved the costumes, dance and the use of the LCD screen that cost $2 million or so I heard. Most of the female dancers were really hot with great bods too! XD

The story takes place in the future where rock is dead and all music instruments are destroyed. Galileo Figaro played by Miguel Ayesa, plays a young rebel who refuses/fails to conform with the majority who wear the same fashion and think the same thoughts. In a world where music is generated and downloaded through computers, Galileo, together with some other 'Bohemians' work together to fight against Globalsoft, a company who runs the world.

Miguel Ayesa, who starred as Galileo was a little disappointing though. He wasn't bad, just not spectacular. I thought he wasn't powerful enough and that I didn't feel the "oomph" in his performance. He was actually a little bit annoying. I figured it could be because he was supposed to be some kid. Oh well I think it was probably because I had a higher expectation before watching. I think the only cast worth mentioning was Pop, the old bohemian guy. He was natural, engaging and funny! Vane is in love with him. haha!

Anyway, the familiar Queen songs got both Vane and I moving and singing along with them in our seats. We were itching to stand up to actually dance along therefore when the cast on stage invited the audience to stand for 'We will rock you', both of us jumped up and started clapping, singing and dancing! It was great seeing the whole theatre singing and dancing along with the cast! The energy level was amazing and we were still high even after the show ended!

I also loved how they made references to Singapore such as Bugis street and Dick Lee! haha! A fun and entertaining production that I recommend to all. Do grab the student tickets if you are one because its really value for money!! It was also so good that Vane and I are going to watch it again in London this summer since the London cast would be even better!





From The Straits Times online,

"Rockin' it with Queen, well almost... Having rocked over six million people since its West End debut in 2002, the multi-million dollar jukebox musical 'We Will Rock You' hits the shores for a one month run at the Esplanade.

Thunderous tunes from rock n' roll legends Queen infused with a tickling script from comedian Ben Elton, the three hour musical tells of the age-old quest for freedom, raked with interspersed romance and the enduring vigour of rock music.

Dong Tianzhao discovers a kind of magic called Queen.

Duration: 3 min 5 secs"

Here's a VIDEO REPORT done by Dong Tianzhao.


Haven't grabbed your tickets? Hurry do so now at SISTIC before the show ends on the 27th of April 2008!

The world's most expensive food!

Have you ever wondered what are the world's most expensive food/drinks/desserts? Well you are going to find out today!

The World's Most Expensive...



DESSERT

Located at Serendipity III, a popular restaurant in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, this dessert called "Frrozen Haute Chocolate" is a a US$25,000 chocolate sundae.

It is made from a blend of 28 cocoas from all around the world and is infused with five grams of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. It is topped with whipped cream, more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle (see world's most expensive chocolate) from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound. It even comes with souvenirs, an 18K gold bracelet with a carat's worth of diamonds that rests at the base of the goblet and a gold spoon set with white and chocolate-colored diamonds. [source: luxist]

Looks super good right! Would you spend this much though? Perhaps if I was rich, I could very well afford this everyday! Oh well, at least it won't be a complete waste of money because you canat least keep the gold bracelet!XD



CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE

Chocopologie by Knipschildt is apparently not only the most expensive chocolate in the world, but also the tastiest! Knipschildt's La Madeline au Truffe was recognized by Forbes Magazine as the most expensive chocolate in the world.

"La Madeline au Truffe starts with a decadent 70% Valrhona dark chocolate, heavy cream, sugar, truffle oil and vanilla as the base for the rich decadent ganache. A rare French Perigord truffle (a rare mushroom) is then surrounded by this rich decadent ganache; it is enrobed in Valrhona dark chocolate and then rolled in fine cocoa powder. The result is pure extravagance! Lying on a bed of sugar pearls in a silver box tied with a ribbon."

Price: US$2,600 a pound!!

I loveeee chocolate truffles and I would definitely want to try this at least once in my lifetime. A nibble will also do! XD I've been trying to make some homemade truffles lately and maybe someday (in my dreams), I may be the next one to come up with the world's most expensive truffle!! haha!



WATER

Kona Nigari is a seawater mineral concentrate mixed with regular water and it is said to be high in minerals and believed free of modern contaminents. It comes from 2,000 feet down off the coast of Hawaii, and it's bottled by Hawaii Deep Marine.

Price: US$33.50 For 2 Ounces


Seriously, no way am I going to pay this much for water! Apparently, the Japanese are going crazy over this and have been importing it to Japan. As much as I love Japan and its people, they are really too extreme most of the times. Well then, let's have a look at the world's most expensive water!


CAVIAR

Caviar, as we all know has been an expensive delicacy for the rich and famous, but did you know that the black caviar isn't the most expensive? The most expensive caviar is the Almas (Russian for diamond) Iranian Caviar.

This beluga caviar is white in appearance and comes from a fish which is over 100 years old. The beluga is believed to have remained unchanged for the last 120 million years. It is one of the oldest and most amazing survivors of the Dinosaur Era. It is the largest and only predator in the sturgeon family. It is so rare a fish that the annual catch does not exceed 100 units.

Price: $23,308 per 32oz

I bet this tastes heavenly! ~~ oh and btw I forgot to mention that the tin is made out of gold as well.




SANDWICH

The "von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich" can be found at the Cliveden House hotel in Taplow, Berkshire.

The most expensive club sandwich is proudly made of Iberico ham, poulet de Bresse, white truffles, quail eggs, semi-dried Italian tomatoes and 24-hour fermented sour dough bread, and weighs 530 grams.


Price: £100

Haven't seen enough? well then head on over to wackyarchives to see more of the world's most expensive food items, including the world's most expensive pizza, omelette, tea and more!

Japanese Gadgets - Bubble Wrap & Soybean Simulator

I have always loved popping the bubbles on the bubble wrap and so I was super excited when I heard Bandai had released a new simulator toy that could imitate it. When I went to Japan last year, I searched the shops immediately upon arrival, hoping to get it quick, but guess what! There was none anywhere!! I was very disappointed but by a stroke of luck, I found it at at a UFO catcher at Umeda in Osaka. So after the 3rd try I managed to get it!

So here it is, Bandai's very own bubble wrap simulator toy, Puchi Puchi!
(I got the white version)

That's not all! Good news for those who love popping the beans out of Edamame (those green soybeans)! Bandai is releasing another new simulator toy called Mugen Edamame. Watch the video below to see how it works!

JP-PRBE-post
by pocarisweater

Trust the Japanese to come up with gadgets and toys such as these! Interesting and innovative bunch of people I must say! I don't think I would ever get tired of anything Japanese!

So anyway, because I am super terrible at UFO catchers, I've decided to try out methods used in the following video on the secret of UFO catcher machines. And I'm going to be so kind to share with everyone out there who is equally as bad as me when it comes to playing with the UFO catchers.



Source: http://www.japanprobe.com

Sugoiiiiiii!!!!! Really amazing isn't it! Now I know why some people can actually earn a living just by playing with these. Yes, believe it or not, there ARE people in Japan whose full time job is to get the dolls/toys from these machines!

So just a summary of the techniques involved:

1. Soft toys that are at the side of the drop hole, use the "Sweep" method to sweep the toy in with one claw.
2. Soft toys that are at the top of the drop hole, use the "Slide" method to flip the toy in.
3. For bigger toys, aim the claws at the neck (see elmo example)
4. For boxes, aim for the indents of the box so that the claw can grab hold of it. [ I still think this step is the most amazing of all!!]

I hope that helps! If it really does work, please let me know!!

The world's first eyeball tattoo!

Tattoos are becoming an up and rising trend nowadays for many people, especially with reality TV shows such as Miami Ink and L.A. Ink. For some, tattooing is a form of expression while some just love art and want to show how much they appreciate it. So how far would you go to express yourself in terms of tattooing?

I was recently shown an article about the world's first eyeball tattoo. What came to my mind immediately was 'How is that even possible?!' well well, looks like it IS possible and the images I would say would haunt me for the rest of my life! I cannot imagine why would anyone want to take the risk of losing your eye just to express oneself. Madness!!

so anyways... here's presenting to you some of the images.

WARNING: Not for the faint-hearted / Squeamish readers! >_<

Taken from The Sun

Rock Band, Guitar Hero & Karaoke Revolution!

I've been a faithful RPG (specifically Final Fantasy) gamer all these while, most of the time not bothering to spend more than one game sitting on any types of game genre such as Grand Theft Auto or Metal Gear Solid. I mean I do make an effort trying them out but they usually get thrown one side pretty quickly. This pretty much changed when I got.....

THIS!

Yep, I received a wireless guitar from the KC babes for my 21st birthday last year. I had the game for quite awhile for my PS2 but it wasn't really fun without the actual guitar controller. I was elated when I received it and before I knew it, I was HOOKED onto Guitar Hero II by Redoctane. Oh and have I mentioned about the fantastic rock songs featured in this game?

The game play
Press the coloured buttons on your fret boards according to what you see

I was then introduced to another music genre game for PS2 by Val. She had apparently bought this karaoke like game online with the microphones and she invited us over to her place to try it out, and I quote " you have to try it! It's damn fun!!" Not doubting her of course and looking forward to this whole new form of entertainment rather than our usual hanging out sessions such as watching movie or going for dinner, we eagerly went to her place. AND thank goodness we went because we had a BLAST singing at the top of our voices and not caring if the whole neighbourhood heard us. So I found out that these exciting karaoke games were Konami's Karaoke Revolution and American Idol! I swear I've never had this much fun at karaoke than with these 2 games.

Watch the video below to see how the game is played.

So because the group of us enjoy playing both Guitar Hero and singing Karaoke Revolution so much, we usually don't know which to play because we only have 1 controller for 1 game on 1 console. Therefore, could you imagine our excitement when news of the new game called Rock Band was released last november on the PS3 and Xbox?? You must be wondering what is this Rock Band that I'm talking about, well its basically Guitar Hero and Karaoke Revolution combined with an addition of the drums!! Its totally awesome because you can have all 4 players involving themselves in the game at the same time! Each player taking up the roles of the vocalist (microphone), guitarist (guitar), bassist (guitar) and drummer (drums)!

The controllers: Drums, Microphone, Guitar

Check it out yourself!

And since we are on the topic of Guitar Hero and games, here's something that I can't wait for my DS!

Guitar Hero: On Tour on Nintendo DS!!!



Can't imagine? Now you can play Guitar Hero wherever you go!!
