So I've got news.

Lacey Schwimmer is joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars of fall 2008.

like hell yeah!

I hate Dancing with the Stars but they just used one very smart way of luring me into watching the show. I would never ever not watch something with Lacey Schwimmer in it :)

And sadly -

Lacey (LOVE! the hair!) is partnered with Lance Bass! :(

I can't stand seeing his monkey face. Not even for a minute :(

WHY LANCE BASS?! :( :( :(

Lance is gay (like as in he likes guys, seriously) and he has that stupid monkey face. URGH. And he asked for a guy partner on DWTS. How weird would that be? Two dudes dancing ballroom. You get the picture.

I really hope they win. Well for Lacey's benefit anyways. oh and btw Lacey is the pro (DUH!) and Lance dances like he has two left feet.

and so yes guys the date is September 22nd! stupid DWTS and its dirty tricks of luring people into watching it!

So here's something.

Nastia Liukin.

Even though I don't really like her (she IS really, really good but I find her a little cocky) but look at those legs. Ohmygod it makes her look so tall. and she's only 5'3 btw. Those legs make her look a thousand times taller.

and go watch the Adidas commercial she did with Nadia Comeneci. It is beautiful beyond words.

Trials - 1 more day to go!

So I think I bombed my Science paper.

and my History paper.

and my... the other two I haven't bombed yet. Geography and KH. Thats tomorrow! So off I go to study :)

p/s; September 1st please come quick all the tv shows I've been waiting for ;)

Tuning in; Should've Said No - Taylor Swift

I'm so sick of studying.

Please tell me why the f- am I born with such a small attention span.

SHIIIIIIIT. So frustrating. Every time I open a book, my mind starts to drift even if I don't allow it. and I read the same line about 10 times -.- Damn la.

History test tomorrow, and I am so dead.

just to take my mind of exams:


HI-LA-RIOUS.

Entertainment at its best.

Just because Shawn Johnson, Paul and Morgan Hamm can't act for nuts :) I love this:) And Paul Hamm had me laughing with tears streaming down my face at "BRO!" Hehehe hilarious:)


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

THIS IS SOOOO CHEESY! The vegetables are so retarded! I can't stop laughing please save meee. and look at Shawn's expression! Its like she's trying so hard not to laugh. and that just makes me laugh harder :)


I. LOVE. THIS :)

My favourite commercial ever. Just one of those commercials where I can watch over and over again and wish it would never end :)


If you haven't seen her on beam, here she is :)

SO AMAZINGGGG :)

Enjoy, and off I go to study stinky Sejarah.

I am going to fail my papers if I don't start studying for trials seeing how its starting this coming Tuesday.

No updates till I'm free and have a life again.

Just before I go -

Lately I've been having a weird obsession with...







































































DISNEY STARS.

(yes, you can laugh now)

Whether its loving them or hating them, I cannot deny that its an obsession.

Call me weird but hey at least I admit.

I think she looks really gorgeous :)

I think she makes a very good person for young kids to look up to. and she has an awesome voice trust me her music isn't half as bad as Miley's.

and hey I might just buy her album (in stores Sept 23rd) you never know ;)

The thing thats pissing me off is that I can't find Jonas Brother's new album anywhere. URGH.

Till I update this shit again :)

Tuning in; Disturbia - Rihanna

Yup, that is what you think it is.

SHAWN JOHNSON WON FREAKIN' GOLD ON BEAMS! followed by Nastia and Cheng Fei respectively

It was raining in Kuantan on Tuesday so we had no access to Astro :( But Krystal was updating me on scores! I literally screamed out loud when I got the news from Krystal and I earned stares from a few random people...

But its alright. Because I am so, so proud. Everyone expected Shawn to win, win and win at the Olympics this year and all she got was silver after silver after silver. FINALLY A GOLD MEDAL. and if that isn't enough, she beat Nastia! ;)

Finally the gold she deserves. Because no one trains for silver.

I am pretty sad that all the gymnastics events for the 2008 Olympics are over. But I AM looking for London Olympics 2012! :)

No Kuantan post just yet! I just got home and I am exhausted.

Tuning in; Get Back - Demi Lovato

So my weekend was rather productive.

I went for a sejarah seminar at Segi and I learned alot from it :) Fine, the dude who gave the talk on Saturday, Mr Vela, talked shit half the time and I wasn't paying attention to him half the time. and he didn't even manage to finish the syllabus.

Mr Thiaga, the dude who taught us today, was good and I benefitted alot from it. I feel smarter already.

Heres one thing: Segi chairs are freakin' uncomfortable!

How was your weekend? :)

---

I came home to watch gymnastics floor finals (women) and it was pretty intense!

Shawn was first and she did good. The 6 gymnasts after her, including Nastia, scored lower than her and I was so happy! I really thought she was gonna win. But it was the last gymnast to perform, Sandra Izbasa from Romania that bagged gold.

Watching it, I was screaming and cursing all the way at Sandra when the results were out! I really, really wanted Shawn to win!

Another dissapointment for Shawn Johnson and you can see it in her eyes.

What I'm happy about is that yeah, she managed to beat Nastia and I think thats enough for me.

But floor was what she stood a chance at winning. and it really kills to know that she didn't get that gold for USA. Nastia on the other hand, bagged bronze.

Three silvers for USA already, why can't she just get that gold?!

URGHHHH. SO DISSAPOINTING OKAY.

---

Michael Phelps on the other hand -

8 freaking gold medals for team USA!!!

That is the most gold medals anyone has ever won in an Olympic. and he broke a handful of world records, too!

Crazy or not, you tell me?

---

Sadly Lee Chong Wei lost to Lin Dan in the badminton finals!

He would really do Malaysia proud if he won that gold medal.

and plus I hate that stupid lansi Lin Dan.

Anyone wanna text/call Lee Chong Wei? IM/call/text me I have his number :)

---

I find this picture pretty hilarious but it is a picture of two of my favourite Olympians! :)

I'm leaving for Kuantan on Tuesday and will only be back by Friday so don't count on any updates till then :)

text/call me because you know I will be bored!

I'm going to study at the beach and lets hope thats true because trials are in a weeks time!

Tuning in; Crush - David Archuleta

So yesterday was the gymnastics final for all-around women.

And Nastia Liukin won.

Trust me, you don't know how pissed off I was.

I mean, even though I like Nastia, but I wanted Shawn to win so, so bad. I wanted her to remain the world champion. But no, she had to lose. and to Nastia - her biggest competitor - of all people.

At the very least, Shawn got second.

Even though you can clearly see she was dissapointed (I mean who wouldn't be? She was losing her world title!) she still accepted that second place with grace.

and Nastia was grinning from ear to ear.

Still, congrats to another gold and another silver for team USA.

Merdeka carnival today and business was rather good. You don't know how excited we were to have our first customer! :)

and we did manage to earn much more than we thought! We were pretty good for first-timers:)

Besides making drinks with Liyana I also screamed and shouted to promote our stuff! I expected to lose my voice but I didn't.

In the end there was so much ice cream left I had to shout at people to come and get free ice-cream. but no one came! I mean who doesn't love free ice-cream?!

Cleaning up was the worst part omg.

I wanted to stay back for Funtasia, but I had tickets to go for High School Musical: The Ice Tour! It was better than I expected, but the twists and turns were nothing special :) and one of the skaters fell down! I was laughing like crazy okay ;p

Yeah, I know okay I'm so lame for going to HSM Ice Tour.

---

Happy 19th Birthday Joe Jonas! :) :)

I'm really tired now so off to bed! :)

Tuning in; The Man Who Can't Be Moved - The Script

Short one because I have to go off soon.

So China won todays gymnastic (women) team finals.

I was rooting for USA! I wanted them to win so, so bad. Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin did very well :) Alicia Sacramone on the other hand, fell on beams, and on floor she landed on her butt. So yeah, I blame her.

Still incredibly proud of them both :)

Congrats to the USA team for winning silver though!

I hope Shawn wins All Around!

---

Also,

Happy 15th Birthday Nicole! :)

Thanks for everything you've done for me. Thanks for listening when I needed to rant, and thanks for talking when I needed to listen. You know I love you :) Hope you had a great 15th!

We tried to surprise her. I tried, I really tried. I had the help of Luter and Lucas. But Nicole being Nicole always had to be so curious!! So she ruined it for herself in the end.

But we all had a good laugh, didn't we? :)

Tuning in; This is Me - Demi Lovato

We had a trial run today which obviously I will never attend so I skipped school.

Instead I spent my day at Liyana's watching Olympics with the girls, oogling over hot gymnasts and swimmers (Michael Phelps is awesome thankyouverymuch! Go USA!) and laughing at weightlifters :)

Of course I didn't waste my whole day doing that! We were there for a little experimental waffle-making and ice-blending. Okay that sounded lame. But we were there for a reason and I'm so lazy to explain.

Chilled a lil' at Liyana's pool :) Theres nothing like the pool on a hot day, right? Just felt like jumping right in but I couldn't because I had no extra clothes.

Besides making waffles and smoothies we spent like half the day watching tv. From the Olympics to Ellen DeGeneres, Ellen to E! News, E! to the Wade Robson Project, Wade Robson to House. Phew.

I was so freaking excited to see Joshua and Katee on E! News that I let out a huge scream which scared everyone :) No one understood what I was shouthing about! What?! It was JOSHUA AND KATEE :) :) but the Jonas Brothers on SYTYCD definitely had everyone's attention :)

Anyway, the drinks and waffles turned out alright so we were done for the day :D

Pictures!

Hahaha. Our super lame marshmallow-throwing game :p

Hehehe I caught one!

I love my girls :)

One more picture for you to laugh at -

supposedly a picture of the drinks. and as usual, I was being retarded! :)

Tuning in; In the Ayer - Flo Rida ft Will.I.Am

The Olympics have begun!

I know practically everyone is like on this Olympic craze right now. But not me! Heheh no, I did not catch the opening.

I love swimming, diving and gymnastics though!

Gymnastics - always the best part :)

The guys competed last night. But I can't wait for the girls category!

I am pulling for Shawn Johnson (USA) ! An awesome gymnast, very graceful, and super gorgeous. And she's only 16!

and Shawn Johnson was a world champion gymnast at the age of 15, mind you.

I'm sorry I'm not supporting China gymnasts but wait till you see Shawn Johnson! :D


Go ahead and tell me you don't like her :)

---

Yes, I finished Breaking Dawn.

I enjoyed every single bit of it. I'm so, so sad that this is the end of the Twilight saga. No more new books to look forward to (besides Midnight Sun)

Even though the media is criticizing it like crazy I don't see what was so bad about it.

I think she made me like Bella even more in this book and Jacob! Not that I'm his biggest fan or anything but she actually wrote him as a more likable character in this book. The only thing is I just can't make myself picture Taylor Lautner as Jacob :x

Breaking Dawn was everything I hoped for and more :)

Holidays in a week!

and I have one very hectic week to look forward to starting tomorrow.

Ah shit.

Tuning in; The Garden - Mirah

*I changed the group dance video. It is now clearer and has interviews with the dancers.

So after 60 million votes this season...

America's favourite dancer is


Joshua Allen! Joshua Allen! Joshua Allen!!!

As much as I love Katee, Joshua truly deserved it. Honestly. He has been through so much this season and I don't think anyone can understand how hard he has worked to be where he is today. Congratulations, Josh!

The huge dissapointment is that Twitch came in second. TWITCH! Yup, I did expect Katee to come in second, but she came in third instead. and earned herself $50,000 for being America's favourite female dancer! and Courtney very obviously came in fourth.

I think after everything they've been through this season, there are no losers, they're all winners. Except maybe for Jessica for getting herself injured. It was such a waste.

Highlights of the finale:

Joshua and Katee, Lyrical

Choreographed by Wade Robson the freakin' genius. I think this was the best contemporary all season. Goosebumps goosebumps goosebumps! and of course Katee danced it beautifully. It was flawless:)


Twitch and Joshua, Trepak

You remember Danny and Neil doing something similar last year, except that it was contemporary instead of Trepak? Well I thought Twitch and Joshua brought it to a whole new level. It was so entertaining, and it was the first ever Trepak on the show! (In case you didn't know, Trepak is a Russian street dance)


Twitch's solo

The most amazing solo he has ever done. Blew me away. Twitch is so much joy to watch :)


The past and current seasons dancers performing a group routine

OMG OMG OMG!!! I was so excited to watch this and literally screamed when I saw it. I love all the past season dancers ok:) IVAN KOUMAEV! so adorable! *melts*


Jonas Brothers as musical guests

I was even more excited when I saw this! The other day I was just asking Yee Xin why couldn't someone on SYTYCD dance to Jonas Brothers music! and here you have them as musical guests! I was so so happy:)

Overall,

This was the BEST. FINALE. EVER.

I mean fine, maybe they weren't Lacey or Danny or Travis or Melody. But this season I was so connected to all the dancers I didn't even care. I enjoyed every single bit of it.

I think this season the choreographers really stepped their game up to choreograph beautiful dances. SO many great routines this season. The list goes on and on.

but the most memorable routines this season! (Clickable!)

Josh and Katee, Samba
Chelsie and Mark, Hip Hop (!)
Twitch and Katee, Contemporary (!!!)
Mark and Courtney, Viennese Waltz
Katee and Joshua, Bollywood
Chelsie and Twitch, Mambo
Mark and Courtney, Jazz
Kherington and Twitch, Viennese Waltz
Katee and Will, Pas De Deux (!!!!!)
Joshua and Katee, Hip Hop
Twitch and Kherington, Krump
Katee and Joshua, West Coast Swing
Mark and Chelsie, Contemporary
Joshua and Katee, Contemporary
Courtney and Gev, Cha Cha
Katee, top 10 solo
Courtney, top 6 solo

I think for me, this was the best season and on the same level as season 3 if not the best. Never in my life have I felt so connected to dancers. Never.

Thanks for a great season 4:) Am looking forward to season 5!

Tuning in; Forever - Chris Brown

Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book in the Twilight Saga

So the most anticipated book of year '08 was finally released on Saturday, August 2nd. And Malaysia being Malaysia was 2 days behind the release date.

Still, it was pretty fast. For Malaysia :)

Daddy went all the way to ou yesterday to get it for me. Thank you daddy you know I love you so so much :)

YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW EXCITED I WAS EVEN BY JUST HOLDING THE BOOK IN MY HANDS:) It made me stay up late in the night. What? I couldn't help myself:)

Definitely a page turner. Stephenie Meyer is beyond ingenious:)

I think the only thing I hate is that she included one whole segment of the book in Jacob's point of view. Which is where I'm at now. 80 more pages of Jacob to go Chloe, be patient

I vow myself not to come online until I'm done. (Soon, I hope)

"When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you have to give, how could you not give it?"

You’ll have to excuse me as I’m trying to type while fighting back the tears in my eyes. In a season where I felt more connected to the dancers compared to past years I think this was by far the toughest elimination of all for me. Six dancers remained and six deserved to be there. I think no matter who was sent home last Thursday night, it would have upset me on some level.

But at some point, if your favourite got voted off, you'd still feel more upset. and mine being Chelsie, I was heartbroken. Could've cried right on the spot.

and Chelsie, as usual took the news with the same grace she has brought to the competition all summer long.

I think Chelsie added a little spice to the show. You tell me, who doesn't like a sexy salsa dancer who can dance hip hop, contemporary and any form of ballroom? Trust me, Chelsie can dance anything. I think I would've loved to see a ballroom dancer in the finals. Just like in the past two years where we had Benji, Heidi, and then Lacey :)

and Mark. Sigh. I would've chose Mark over Twitch, judging by performances. Twitch has brought so much to the competition, no arguement there, but Mark is.... Mark. He is unique, so quirky and so odd. He puts a smile on people's faces whenever he dances. I was in the verge of crying knowing that both my favouritest (if there is such word) dancers right from the beginning were eliminated.

Up till this point, all of them are as good, but its up to America who their favourite is.

I will miss the two of them so, so much.

Based on the overall performances all season I would've liked Courtney and Twitch to go. But who am I to judge?

Your final four:

Katee Shean

Now that Chelsie is gone, I'll be rooting for Katee all the way. Never once all this season she has dissapointed me in her performances. Yes, this year I would love to see a technical dancer win for a change. and God her solos never fail to amaze me. She is SO good in what she does. She moves me. She made me cry. She made me smile. She gave me goosebumps. What more can she do?

Courtney Galiano

I loved her since the auditions :) I think she is okay with partner work but when she does her solo DAMN DAMN DAMN! You cannot not fall in love with her. I think she did pretty bad her first few weeks with Gev. After she got the hang of it, she outshined all her partners, Joshua being an exception. Like Lauren, I think she shined a little too late. Didn't think she would make it this far. Amazing dancer, all in all.

Joshua Allen

Amazing popper. He can dance anything. Very versatile, very creative. I can't remember not liking any of his solos. He deserves the title as much as Katee, and honestly I love him to death, but I don't feel the emotions I feel when I watch Katee dance with Josh. I would be happy if he won, but like I said, I would like to see a technical dancer win. So far, only Nick has been a technical dancer (Sabra being her own style).

Last but not least,

Stephen "Twitch" Boss

Not much to say. He deserves to be where he is now. He improved so much since last year. Started off being an awesome dancer but from week to week I see him losing focus in the competition, and sometimes not doing his best. Kudos to him for being the only untrained dancer left on the show.

All in all, this was an amazing season, wasn't it? I have done my bit and I hope America chooses their winner wisely :)

Chelsie Kay Hightower, always an inspiration ;)
