Little Britain - Fat Fighters With Margorie

Little Britain is the best PLU comedy TV series ever. I've decided to post some of its episodes periodically. Here's one the sketches called Fat Fighters, hillarious:

Give It To Me - Maddie's Next Single

Give It To Me is Maddie's next single from Hard Candy after 4 Minutes.

Here's just Matthew Allen Clasby & Michael Troy reviewing Hard Candy in 12 Inches (The Gays On Film). Tot it was quite fun seeing two fairies talking bout the album thee hee...

The Idea of Celibacy

Partly due to the ambitious schedule I plan for myself, drought has definitely set in for me. Let me see, it has been what, more than 3 months already I'm celibate? Hmm...friends who know me will be laughing. Did I purposely arrange my life in such a way that I do not have anymore time to think about it? Not really, I'll tell you why...

It's not that I don't enjoy it anymore, I still do. It is just coming to a point in life you decide you would like to stop thinking about relationships for the meantime, and many ideas just flow into your mind. There's just so many things you suddenly want to do. Spending time with parents is one thing. Having a baby niece recently has made my parents' visits here more often and I'm thankful for that. I get to see them more. Travel, for sure. Internet activities, which include blogging, it's just therapeutic, to be able to express and share online. Increased outings and plans with friends, my usual movies, DVDs etc, there's just not enough time.

Did I have the opportunity to curb away from this celibacy cycle? My life basically evolves around people and activities that do not really give me much opportunities. I dislike going out to clubs nowadays, not really motivated to do outings for mingling and knowing new friends, I do not go to 'places' where most would go for 'recreation'. So really, I would say I consciously planned my life in a way that drought is definitely gonna set in sooner or later LOL

But the thing is, opportunities still remain there, although not many. This married guy, let's call him FEZ, still contacts me like at least once a week. Last month was rather frequent, as he wanted to really meet up, saying that he would not have much opportunities to meet up anymore once he started working at the same place with his wife. Blame it on timing, or just plain laziness on my side, or perhaps I'm not sure really, my NO's just came off so much easier nowadays. True enough once he started working at this new place with his wife, FEZ could hardly even make phone calls to me nowadays. FEZ is one of those cases it took me like ages to finally give in, and I quite enjoyed it to be honest for that very few times it happened. But somehow I am just not motivated at all when opportunity arises. Somehow, I would rather go to a good movie with a good friend, or dining at a nice restaurant chit-chatting with friends.

So, am I going towards this direction of accepting celibacy? LOL I don't think so. I just feel it's this phase of my life where other things in life matter more, that's all. After all, I've spent like what, 70% of my life attached to someone since school days, until uni days, until working life. Maybe I needed a break. Having someone to love is really great, but there are also so many things which we can do for ourselves, which we cannot do at greath lengths if we were attached with someone, and they can be very therapeutic and emotionally rewarding.
But I suppose human need human after all, in whichever ways, be it family, friends or lovers. Lately these 2 weeks I've been starting to miss one particular person a lot. Someone I am not at all suppose to miss, and I hated myself for it. After some deliberation I concluded it was because I was lonely, despite all the hectic schedule. Erm, not that I'm gonna make any radical changes at this point, but definitely worth pondering further how OK I am if I were to go fully celibate LOL But I get a feeling I will be so when I'm like 50? Very possible...

Much Ado About American Idol

Well it is finally over, I've been following this season's American Idol fastidiously despite going through a dramatic halt over Michael John's elimination. Anyway, after the battle between the two Davids, battle between the macho rocker and the angelic babyface, between the straight and the gay (oops, not sure bout that yet, sorry!), David Cook finally took the title. Thank gawd!! I was sort of reluctantly going towards that direction during the finals, of accepting that Archuleta will win.

I'm quite pleased with the finale actually, both of them did very well. When Simon went all out about Archuleta beating Cook with a 'knockout', I was thinking "Oh no, Simon rarely gets it wrong". After all, Simon does get the right to sign one of the Top 2 under him as an artist. But surprise, surprise, Americans got it right this time. During the results finale, it was a bliss to see Michael Johns on stage again. Sigh, he sounded so good. But his duet with Carly, gawd that woman literally destroyed the song with the screaming! The duet shud have been with me! (Opps, over!)

I was hoping they would also invite Fantasia on stage besides Jordin and Carrie. Many actually didn't like Fantasia's performance during the Top 3 show, she was in her usual gospel mode, jumping and celebrating. But I like me Fantasia, missed watching her on stage. Here's one of her great live performances singing I'm Here (from Color Purple) at the Tony's...

I also read today that AOL Television Poll revealed that Carrie Underwood was voted the most favourite idol of all time, taking 54% of the cake, leaving Kelly Clarkson only 26%.

Mourning Period Over

The mourning is over, and I'm back! Well, it's just an excuse actually, been busy and have neglected this blog. Busy with what you might ask, well both work and personal. Work wise it has been like this since 2008. New team, new processes, new reports and everything just sort of started from scratch. I've really worked hard and played hard for the past 2 months I would say. We've also just completed our annual reunion gathering at PD, called Malam Gala PD 2008. A gathering among all PLU frens, with drag parties, singing/miming competition and games. Will blog about that in detail when I get all the pics from my frens. Loads of fun! Despite having such heavy 'play hard' schedule, my love life remains in the drought LOL So basically I've been playing hard with sisters and frens. This year has also been a year I've started getting quite close to a few colleagues, which I have been sort of avoiding from the start. Was just trying to keep a low profile being the closeted one (at least I think I am!!) at work. But one thing led to another, I've gotten quite comfy with a few of my colleagues, been going out for dinners etc.

OK, let's get started, more postings to come!
