Cheat Work Thursday

I have to post another SYTYCD7 link. Here's Robert and Lauren's performance at the finale , which many called 'the pillow routine', choreographed by Dee Caspary. If I get it correctly, the story is about going home after a tiring journey. This is one of my favourite performances too. Have a good week.

I've never been successful at making a French twist before. However, I was playing with and twisting my hair while holding my tears watching The Blind Side this morning, and suddenly *bling!* there was a French twist on my head! In one attempt and with only one pin too! How come? You have no idea how many times, how many techniques I've tried before, only to knot my hair into a pile of confused mess. I haven't taken this one out since morning.

Haha, maybe writing about it only creates more of this. My modem and network card were fried last Monday. This has probably happened twice before, and I've already learned the lesson. So when the storm started, I switched off and unplugged the modem... but not the PC. ......... Then when it happened, I could only sit on the floor, raise my eyebrows and stare at the machine in amazement. _____ Stopped to have an Oreo cheesecake on the way home from the PC shop. _____ On another note, six and a half seasons late, but I now love So You Think You Can Dance . Why has nobody ever told me of how awesome this show is before? Below are some of my favourite performances, which might mean I've only seen ten performances and I'm about to announce my love for nine of them: Billy (and Kathryn) - Jar of Hearts . Choreographed by Stacey Tookey. Billy (and Ade) - Mad World . This is brilliant. It's a story of two old friends who meet again when they are now livin...

A number of small things have been bothering me today. The two sides of my brain have been busy arguing, debating, sulking and coaxing each other over them all day. Then I remember I have a blog. 1) The shower head in my bathroom is old and rusty, and the water goes to 300 different directions. Once, a plumber quoted RM180 to fix two sets of my toilet seat covers. I thought about alternatives for the first time, so I fixed them myself -- bought two pairs of screws for less than RM10. (I used to call a plumber to unclog the sink when I should just buy an RM12 declogger-in-a-bottle -- to name one of my many survival skills.) (To be continued...) 2) My car is reliable, loyal and has taken me, my family and friends everywhere. He's always there when I need him. I'd cry, curse, sing and laugh, and he'd just listen, understanding. Not once has he judged me. For this post, it's just polite that you, too, call him Henry. Last Thursday, my usual service centre (H...

(Hi! How have you been?) Early this month, I babysat my nieces for two days while their parents went back to my hometown. My first task for the weekend was to attend my niece's taekwondo tournament. I arrived at 9.45 in the middle of the opening speech (my niece arrived earlier for registration), and the first match started at around 10 with the youngest ones, 7-9 year olds, went first. OMG these kids were awesome. With their vests taking up one-third of their bodies, they were basically miniature ninjas. (During the half-time breaks, these miniatures were fed water and attended to by their coach like they'd just saved the world from Godzillas.) Some were crying in pain but got back up and finished the match. I almost teared up watching this, and these were other people’s kids! The point is, I wanted to have a seven-year-old in a taekwondo match too. He/she will wear the cutest taekwondo outfit and be the most awesome kid in the room. And I will be beaming with pride th...
