Let's see if I'm good at this:

Middlesbrough vs Wigan: Overwhelming victory for the Mids here
Tottenham vs Aston Villa: sorry Baros, that's a Tottenham win.
Arsenal vs Everton: Are you kidding me? Arsenal haven't looked good, but Everton haven't looked, period.

We'll see how we go starting tonight!!!

Final elimination performance!

Mig finally gets into the bottom three, which as I said before, is pretty much meaningless as they are all quality singers anyways. And Suzie finally ran out of her 9 lives, faltering just before the finish line…

So, there you have it. Marty, Mig and JD. Next week’s the season finale for the show, and I can’t wait to see what they have in store.

IMO, it’s a toss up between Marty and MiG. JD, despite being an excellent performer, doesn’t really fit INXS and is better of going solo.

Cya next week!

Liverpool picking up...

FIRSTLY,
I just want to go on record that I'm pretty happy with the way they performed this morning. Heck I ended up oversleeping and didn't watch it LIVE, but I watched the replay and they've definitely got a lot more drive...

BUT!
They need to play like this in the premiership too! I have to admit their last match against Tottenham WAS commendable, but I hope Rafa's not underprioritising the premiership again.

HAVING SAID THAT:
Peter Crouch and that Cinema guy are such a contrasting strikeforce! When Crouch patted his head, it actually looked paternal! Of course, from Cinema's point of view, Crouch is a bloody giant!

INCIDENTALLY::
Are players like Cinema, Jeremi and Traore ever going to play in the premiership? So far, those three have been like Champions League specialists. Of course, selection wise, I'm sure Rafa knows what he's doing. And I'm glad he benched Gerrard so that he'd be fully rested for the weekend.

AND ON THAT NOTE:
C'mon, Man U! We're waiting for ya...

Of MiG, Marty, JD and Suzie...

There were two highlights to this show:

1) Marty
I gotta admit, after watching this week's episode of RockStar: INXS, Triona may be onto something. From the last few shows, Marty clearly showed he was by far the best candidate. What exactly does he have going for him?

1. Creativity - Clearly, he's got it, as evident from his song Trees, which he was asked to perform again. Although JD also got to sing Pretty Vegas again, it wasn't all his song in the first place.
2. Style - Of all the rockers, he's the most unique. His mad conductor show is Still the talk of the show!
3. Vision - Unlike JD, he comes across as really honest, not afraid to say what he thinks. His interview with INXS was different from the others because he was actually planning out his future with them, and not just answering their questions.
4. Comfortable - From photoshoots to interviews, he appears at ease, and confident with himself. Suzie definitely had problems today talking to INXS.
5. Looks - Okay, I'll defer to Triona on this... She's the expert here :p.

2) Brooke Burke

'Nuff said!!

So, who'll end up on top! As much as I want MiG to be, I'm afraid this week's show belonged to Marty.

To kick out: Jd or Suzie!

A weekend reunion!

Faithful readers will remember about a month ago that I was harping about not being able to meet Yee Leng, a dear friend from Melbourne working in Singapore. Luckily enough, last week, she was back again in Malaysia, and, through some political wrangling, I was able to ensure that I would be free Saturday morning to meet up with her!

Sg Buloh is extremely far from Bangi though!!!

Her housing area was called Valencia (yes, you football freakos, Valencia!) and security in the area was tight! I passed through THREE security checkpoints before making it to her house, a delightful corner lot.

Being the supercool guy that I am, I managed to maintain my composure upon meeting her. Internally I was ecstatic though! Her dad was around (i had met him twice before, once in Melbourne, and once in their old place in Banting with my folks) and we ended up chatting quite a lot! Her family ranks in the Top 5 on my list of " friendly and hospitable family of friends", which, incidentally, is topped by Fina's family. :p

We could've gone on and on, but I came here to catch up with Yee Leng too! So, I took her out. First she gave me a short tour of the clubhouse where she hangs out and does her internet surfing, then we proceeded to 1 Utama for more walking and talking :) Talked bout all sorts of stuff, everything from Australia, to Sg Buloh, from friends to family, and worklife and relationships!

Popped by at Fish and Co to say hi to Sierra, then proceeded to get lost looking for the food court. In the end, we decided to double back and have lunch at Fish and Co instead! Lunch was great, I had the cajun style fish while Yee Leng took the coriander. Sierra popped by every now and then to chat. To top it all off, Yee Leng 'belanja'd me as well! Yeap, Azmin knows no shame...

Unfortunately, I couldn't stretch it much further coz I had a wedding to attend (Yes, Michelle, another one!) I sent her back and was just in time to catch YL's mum returning from work. Had a brief chat before I left, and said sayonara! In all I had a lovely time!

Footnote 1: YL's dog, Ginger, is about one of the most friendliest dogs I've ever encountered. Eeps, Hasan, don't get angry now alright!
Footnote 2: The wedding included Satay in it so I was practically stuffed by the end of the day!!! Yummy.....

Break!
