The Senseless Results

It happened two years ago, and is happening all over again now.

Senseless Singapore Idol results.

This is what happens when you allow rich, underaged kids who go "look he's so cute!!" to vote when what the organisers are looking for is a truly talented singer.

Although I am not a big fan of the local singing competition because the so-called local talents just cannot match up to their American Idol counterparts and the good ones do not end up winning anyway, I cant turn a blind eye to the results and pretend nothing is happening. I still think the results should be fair. The best singer should win. Period.

I especially cannot tolerate participants who use act-cute tactics to gain popularity. Clowns belong in the circus and charismatic individuals belong to a different competition - the eligible bachelor one.

SINGAPORE IDOL is a SINGING competition, and therefore it has no place for charismatic individuals and good-looking dickheads who cant sing. Less need to said about clowns who act cute to win votes.

That said, we can take heart in knowing that at least the recent spate of results have begun to make sense. Let's just hope it remains this way.

Moving On

Ahh... what an eventful few weeks it has been.

Completed my internship with the museum about two weeks ago, then spent the whole of last week preparing my internship report. Completing the attachment and moving on feels great. Now I can look for a job proper.

I went to the job agency last Monday. They arranged for me to go for a job interview yesterday and within hours of the interview, informed me that I got the job! Smiles :)

So I'll be starting work next Monday.

After two weeks of rest, maybe it'll be hard to adjust. But I'll live with it.

Foiled Bomb Plot

British authorities said 24 people were arrested in raids on Thursday to break up a plot to commit mass murder on an unimaginable scale by blowing up airliners in mid-flight from Britain to the United States.

The aim of the plot was to smuggle bombs in hand luggage and then detonate them aboard the aircraft.

The destination of the targeted flights included cities that were primary tourist attractions, including New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles.

Airport security was tightened as the national alert level was raised to "critical" from "severe," where it had been since security was relaxed in the weeks after the terrorist bombings in London on July 7 last year.

...

What a good job! Now skin those bastards alive. That is nothing more than what those scumbags deserve.

These are ordinary, harmless civilians and tourists they are plotting to kill. Imagine one of our loved ones killed in such a fashion. I'd go to the US, volunteer myself in the army, get posted to Afghanistan or some other screwed Middle Eastern country and kill some of those pigs myself, I tell you.

The absolute eradication of terrorists will be good for all of humanity.

Humour Mail 2

A man escapes from a prison where he had been kept for 15 years.

As he runs away, he finds a house and breaks into it, looking for money and guns, but only finds a young couple in bed.

He orders the guy out of bed and ties him up in a chair. While tying the girl up to the bed, he gets on top of her, kisses heron the neck, then gets up, and goes to the bathroom.

While he's in there, the husband tells his wife, "Listen, this guy is an escaped prisoner, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail, and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, just do what he tells you, just give him satisfaction. This guy must be dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you."

To which the wife responds, "He was not kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked if we kept any Vaseline in the bathroom. Be strong, honey, I love you, too."

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle; I'm still a virgin."

"What?", said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"

"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.

Husband #3 was from Field Services; he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

Husband #4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an Engineer; he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

Husband #6 was from Finance and Administration; he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychiatrist; all he ever did was talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did was ... God, I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"

"Good," said the husband, "but, why?"

"Duh! You're a LAWYER. This time I KNOW I'm gonna get screwed!", replied his wife.

Two high school sweethearts who went out together for four years in high school were both virgins; they enjoyed losing their virginity with each other in 10th grade. When they graduated, they wanted to both go to the same college but the girl was accepted to a college on the east coast, and the guy went to the west coast.

They agreed to be faithful to each other and spend anytime they could together. As time went on, the guy would call the girl and she would never be home, and when he wrote, she would take weeks to return the letters. Even when he emailed her, she took days to return his messages.

Finally, she confessed to him she wanted to date around. He didn't take this very well and increased his calls, letters, and emails trying to win back her love.

Because she became annoyed, and now had a new boyfriend, she wanted to get him off her back. So, what she did is this: she took a picture of her sucking her new boyfriend's unmentionables and sent it to her old boyfriend with a note reading, "I found a new boyfriend, leave me alone."

Well, needless to say, this guy was heartbroken but, even more so, was pissed. So, what he did next was awesome.

He wrote on the back of the photo the following, "Dear Mom and Dad, having a great time at college, please send more money!" and mailed the picture to HER parents.

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.

One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.

When the hospital director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered that Edna be discharged from the hospital because she now is considered to be mentally stable.

The director went to Edna and said, "I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you're being discharged because you responded so rationally to a crisis by jumping in the pool to save the life of another patient. Your action displays soundness of the mind.

The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry. When can I go home?"

Toward the end of the service, the Minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?" 80% held up their hands.

The Minister then repeated his question.

All responded this time, except one small elderly lady.

"Mrs. Jones? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any," she replied, smiling sweetly.

"Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?"

"Ninety-eight," she replied.

"Oh, Mrs. Jones, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: "I outlived the bitches."
