American Idol

A few years ago, the reality tv show about singing kicked off. It was a huge success in america. This scene took place all over the world by storm. Everyone was watching American idol. What this show proves is that an ordinary office lady into a celion dion or aretha franklin!

Over the years, American Idol have been through many things together with the american people. Things like the war on iraq. So it has come to my attention that things wont be the same if america were to capture iraq...

In my opinion, they'll rename the country into something unfathomable...like iRaq..you know, the iPod thing...anyway if this were to happen, don't we all think that the people of iraq stands a chance to try their luck on american idol? i mean why not? its the same nation.

Think of it?? we could have

Drive!

Good evening! Welcome everyone! As you already know about me…I have lots of opinions on my everyday life. Because of the nature of speech in my surroundings, I could only tell some of my very thoughtful opinions here online…Don’t despair however, this is a good one!

Now I want to talk about driving. As I’m sure, most of my very respectful readers have driven a car round Kuala Lumpur. And yes it is not a very good experience…I know this because I do not drive like a KL driver and also the fact that I stay away from KL unless Natalie Portman says she’s having dinner with me in KL…

Right back to the point, how do I sum up KL driving style…well, I’ve only driven in KL about a few times and this is what I think of it:

IT IS A RACING CIRCUIT!

There is the back markers who drive utterly slow…which they might have gone faster going backwards.

Then there is the qualifying racers!...ohh they’ll zoom pass you 5 inches away doing three hundred miles an hour…and its always the same sort of car…if they have a Honda, they’ll think they’re jenson button.

Next there’s the is the type of racing driver who attacks you through the corner and straights. This sort of driver does something called tail gating or also known to many of their community as checking what sort of underwear the front driver is wearing…

Oh yeah, not to forget there are also the safety cars…ahhaaahhh you might be thinking what’s wrong is that? Well I’ll let you know. This class of drivers likes putting additional lights on their proton cars..usually super bright HID lamps or those strobe lights which is just even more disgusting. HID lamps doesn’t make your night driving vision safer actually You see, if your car doesn’t comes with standard HID lamps, just forget about putting it, everyone else on the road is cursing you while you’re behind them…its true this. Importantly, it doesn’t impress anyone, not even ladies. Chaps, how many woman ever go “ what I really like about my new boyfriend is that his headlights are white” NEVER! Don’t be fooled by some ad saying that “if you have one of these HID’s women would want some of your STD’s….

More than that, I don’t like KL drivers. I’m sure there are some good ones out there but most of all are road bullies. I was out having dinner once, as I watch this Mercedes signals to get a parking spot, the bloke at the back honks the merc like an ambulance chasing an injured person. I can’t take it if the driver honks…and I’m even more crossed if the second honks comes…As I’m a civilized person, I wouldn’t cause a scene here, but what I really like is…putting that driver’s head between my door and slammed it shut..YEAH! now you’re dead!

Whenever I drive, I always obey the speed limit…that is why I have a clean driving license. In my opinion, people who drive fast on public roads have got one big problem. All they are doing is telling everyone that their car is very uncomfortable and wants to get home to their sofa because the seat in which they are sitting on, is like sitting on nails.

Here’s my tip if you ever encounter a bad driver next time. Smile at them, wave to them, and then see them crash and burst into flames with a huge mushroom cloud.

I hope driving could be much more a civilized thing to do here, and driving licenses would be more legitimate…and on that bombshell goodnight!

What we're missing out

Hello and welcome to the daily telegraph! thank you for spending your time here in this blog. As you would know...if there are more people logging in to this site...the more popular it will become and therefore I could sell some ad spaces here without a question or shadow of doubt.

As a kick off, the modern day life is very different than what it used to be...I still remember in the days of yesteryears, we don’t have DVD players, iPod's and many other electronics marvels. Inventions like this makes everyday life situation easier. If you remember when we have the VHS tapes, it would took about THREE WEEKS to rewind the tape..or even to your favourite tune on the cassette tape.

In everyway, electrical engineering has brought us many great things. Nowadays, thanks to the interweb, recording artist no longer earn as much of those in the 70's or 80's. And this is disturbing truth can be seen everywhere. In the era of great music, rock stars such as The Who could afford to drive a Rolls Royce into the swimming pool or even throw a television set to the swimming pool. Today, if you ask a rockstar what would they do with all the money, they'll simply spend it on music video which is as long as the sun remains there.

The fact of the matter is, modern day musician are not making that much money, due to the mp3 downloads which doesn't earn them any money. Of course, they would be some artist out there saying that " my music are for the fans and not because of the money" i'm sure thats true.
Who is gonna pay for their cost of producing the albums and the extra services they request.


"I get the impression that the song is a product of a mass production music factory"


But because of this problem, musician these day just wouldn't work hard enough in doing music. Whenever I listen to the radio these days, I get the impression that the song is a product of a mass production music factory. Don't get me wrong, music created in a short time can be great. Deep Purple showed the world that they only need a bus ride to wrote one of the greatest rock songs of the world, its called the Highway Star. I absolutely love this song. It's got something I look in a song. It's got soul!

Obviously, we don't get any of those sort of music these days. Instead, we get punk rock and hip hop....and what is that? I'd like to think of great music comes with passion...and not about their lyrics about how much money they have in the bank and all that nonsense. If we look at music from The Queen, The Who, Aerosmith and things from the 70's and 80's it was much better to listen and more importantly its not some funny sounding noise which they put in hip hop tunes.

I'm sure that music these days are already winning awards everywhere in the world, but i'm afraid it absolutely doesn't win my heart.
