Singapore Idle

Went for a class outing on Friday. this time, the turnout was somewhat more respectable. there were close to 10 of us compared to about 7(i think) the last time. i met Lizhen, who i think if memory serves, I have not met since college graduation. anyway, this was sort of a sending off meetup for Sock cos for some of us(me), it might be a long time before we're gonna see her again since she's gonna be posted to HongKong for 2 years and she's flying next week. well, i hope she has fun there. and find a boyfriend while she's at it.

why do i say that? cos everytime she sees me, she starts to grill me on why i do not have a girlfriend>_<

anyway, just watched the inaugural epsiode of this season's Singapore Idol and man, some people are so lame. I'm aware that those delusional people i see are but only a small fraction of what the idol judges had to endure, and its so sad, really. I mean, do people who can't sing really need people to tell them they can't make it? its fine if they have some semblence of talent but some people have nothing at all! No voice, no looks, no style, nada, nothing. And you're telling me they don't know it?not even one lil bit? I applaud their courage but really, it seems thats all they have, the courage to showcase themselves, the courage to flaunt what they don't have.

i guess i'm being overly critical, since they have the guts to do it and i most certainly do not. but somehow i guess i just need to get it off my chest, or its gonna be stuck there like a fishbone for a nong nong time.heh.
i'll like to add a disclaimer that i don't think all who were featured sucked, some were actually fairly good, just not star-material.though they'll definitely kick my ass anytime we go k-box.

Anyway, i'm getting really pissed with the knocking sound coming from the suspension. I had the impression that the stock suspension was built to last. its quite obvious something's wrong, since i can only hear said sounds when i do hard turns or the road's really bumpy. and its only coming from the rear left. i've been having this problem for a while now and what's holding me back is I don't really have much faith in Mazda Singapore's service. i'm gonna be real pissed if they're gonna take one whole day and can't find out whats the problem(which just might be the case).

sigh. i guess i'll just have to take my chances.=(
