let us compare

this and this.

(well yeah, there're other blogs and websites out there, but i happen to like hers a lot mah)


edit:
am of course more than happy to post up a few more links regarding the rally. as i've been mentioning to friends over msn, i'm damn proud of what took place - it showed that people are aware and are willing to take on a more active role in making a change. regret that i couldn't go, but i won't be making any excuses for myself.

on a side note, the point of me posting up the links is not so much of asking anyone to take on a certain side. i just personally feel that we should gather as much information as we can from every side (yes, every side). then it's only fair to judge.

girlfriend!

okay, now i've finally put my finger on it!

neh, you know, that irritatingly catchy song of avril lavigne's - girlfriend. i always had that nagging feeling that it reminded me of a song, but never was able to put my finger on it. then i'll forget all about it cos i'd be too caught up with "in a second you'd be wrapped around my finger, cos i can cos i can do it bet-ter!".

anyway, girlfriend sounds uncannily like the cheerleader song. ok fine, mickey by toni basil. "oh mickey you're so fine". meaning the beat and rhythm.

don't ask me why sudden (random and rather pointless) revelation la, my whole playlist was on shuffle (something that's pretty rare) and mickey suddenly popped up.

anyway, i did a little procrastinating wiki-ing, and waddaya know, they did mention the similiarities. anyway, apparently girlfriend is lagi alike with i wanna be your boyfriend by the rubinoos (who in turn are said to have ripped off the rolling stones get off my cloud). i wanna be your boyfriend sounds pretty catchy itself. it's power pop mah, who can resist power pop now put up your hands la. *cough*

the rubinoos punya song with hoardes of avril lavigne pics as the video.
wahaha, i think it's pretty damn hilarious and ironic la.
also, avril's pretty hot eh, even though she's all silly pink punk princess



mm, the rubinoos sueing avril lavigne some more. tsk tsk. yeah there's a video comparing the rubinoos and batu-batu berguling but it's damn annoying. seriously. there're so many similiar sounding songs out there la, nevermind rip-offs and sucky covers *coughwestlifecough*

argh ok i should get started on studying. *hits head*

...... hey hey you you!

please

if you don't know anything, then don't say anything.

i've always been relatively nicer to you, but if i get that kind of shit again, i'm not too sure if i'll be able to hold my tongue back any longer.

and when that happens, you're no match for me, honey. hmm? why yes, you've always been the one slapping me with sarcastic comments, of which i take in good naturedly.

but really, what i'll be saying to you won't be anywhere as tame as those comments of yours.

so do us both a favour and shut the fuck up, mm-kay?

spice girls!

spice girls have been such an important part of my childhood *wipes tear away*. ok, pre-teen-hood, to be exact. around nearly 10 years ago i think. spice girls were so much fun! what, i'm a 90's kid la. they were the very first group i liked okayyy.

... my top two favourites when i was in standard 6 were the spice girls and 911. -_-" oh and ah niu. wahaha.

*reminisces*

so anyway, here's the spice girls' comeback song and video.

headlines (friendship never ends)


sigh. back then spice girls were so cute... remember how last time the girls had their own little nicknames and dressing styles and whatnots... baby sporty ginger posh scary. well obviously they had to change la in the course of 10 years. but... a bit lacklustre, the spice girls now. not to say i didn't anticipate a more boring serious version of them la (which were already apparent when they released "holler" and "let love lead the way").

headlines is just mediocre and forgettable, well, pleasant at most. and the video. what's it with all the skin bearing and awkward posings very nice clothes (with the exception of good ol' mel c and emma bunton)? i mean, hot abs and big boobs aside, i see some rather uncomfortable squirming, when the song is about friendship leh.



their very first single, wannabe. zigazig ah!


look at them. so freaking fun and cute last time. kinda miss those girls the way they used to be. gurrrrrrl powerrrrr!



THE spice girls. last time.




stop. because it's my favourite spice girls song.


stop right now, thank you very much~

*cough*


convo between me and sis :-

me: hey so have you watched the latest spice girls' video?

sis: yep, heard the song before watching the video.

me: so what do you think?

sis: sucks. and they call that their comeback song.


and that, my friends, just about sums it all up.

this is a hoax, bitches

i've always appreciated those cutesy "friendship day" or "i'm sending this cos i miss you" kind of forwarded mails, but i've never exactly been a fan of chain emails.

especially those email hoaxes, i'm particularly ANAL over those. i'm so anal, i've taken to replying these forwarded mails to the sender by chucking them a link that debunks the particular hoax.

now honestly, i'm sure many of you have received countless of email hoaxes:

"please save this girl from dying of *insert terminal disease of your choice* by forwarding this mail and each mail forwarded will donate 2 cents to the poor girl" complete with very kesian pic of some sickly child.
DON'T BE STUPID. i do admire those compassionate people who forwarded this kind of mail but NO, THERE IS NO TRACKING SYSTEM AND NO, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY 2 CENTS PER EMAIL DONATIONS TO WHATEVER SICK OR DYING KID. hello, in most cases the kid doesnt even fucking exist.

"bill gates is sharing his fortune!"
ZOMGWTFBBQ!!!1ONE. FOR REAL???
"For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00."
oh WOW. some more it's a joint effort by microsoft and aol WHO ARE RIVALS HELLO. sudden re-surge of popularity, this chain email, with subject title "UK REQUIREMENT".
yes bill gates damn freaking rich but he's got better things to do with his money. for fuck's sake, money so easy to come ah? hah?

some email hoaxes are forwarded, meaning well. for example, the two-way mirror thingy that was quite popular some time back (place your fingernail to check if there's a gap). and another one claiming that you can unlock your car using a handphone. and there's another on this rape drug progesterex that can make women mandul, mainly spread in friendster, this one.

hoaxes. it's very thoughtful that you wanna warn people and all, and it's important that we be careful and all that. but please check to see if what you're forwarding is a hoax or not.

speaking of friendster, isn't it a damn well-known fact by now that the stupid mr allen smith message is bloody false? and YET i still see it popping up every now and then. BOH SIEN AH.

also, still on friendster, they have dumb bulletin posts that you open only to see "now that you've opened this, you have to post this up again with the title "I AM GAY". do it or you really will turn GAY at exactly 1am today!".

ok digressing. enough of friendster. lalaland sial.

anyway, the sudden need for me to rant over the idiocy of all this is because the stupid msn email hoax is now in the rage AGAIN. neh, the one saying msn and hotmail is gonna start charging summer 2007 onwards (some idiot actually bothered to "update" this thing to 2007), and the email even includes a link to this bbc news article, which yes is authentic BUT IT IS DATED LIKE DONKEY YEARS AGO HELLO. PEOPLE. PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE. WTF, YEAR 2001.

go and knock yourself out before forwarding the email.

you know, a lot of email hoaxes are actually pretty damn obvious. and if you're not sure anyway, very simple - just GOOGLE it. if it's a hoax, there'll be a whole host of links debunking it. you'll be spoilt for choice.

hmm? what's that i hear? very ma fan to check the authenticity?

OH, SO FORWARDING TO ALL YOUR CONTACTS NOT MA FAN LA.

WE ALL SPEND TIME WASTE ENERGY OPENING/READING/CLEARING THE MAIL NOT MA FAN LA.

OTHER IDIOTS WHO SIMILIARLY FORWARD THE MAIL, NOT MA FAN LA.

next time, please just check, thank you very much.

and here is HOW TO SPOT AN EMAIL HOAX. random link. many out there.

anyway, shall end this post with a mention of one hoax that i actually like. the ever infamous BONSAI KITTENS! was extremely amused when i received this hoax mail not too long ago from a coursemate. up until now the hoax is still going strong!

bonsai kittens. WAHAHA SO CUTE.



disclaimer: this blog post is obviously not written with particularly anyone in mind. if you've sent me any of those emails before, many others have sent them to me as well, much to my annoyance/amusement (depends on mood). i obviously don't remember who sent me what. but then again, if you did forward it/them to me before, well... you know what you should do next time another suspicious email comes along your way. do not insult your own intelligence.
