Catherine Tate

It's been ages since I last watched a Catherine Tate video. I used to blog about her here


(Taken from http://www.catherinetate.co.uk/)

Catherine Tate is an English actress and comedienne whose BBC Two solo series beginning in 2004, The Catherine Tate Show has received wide acclaim.

Catherine Tate

Born Catherine Ford in Bloomsbury, London in 1968, she was brought up in the distinctive and iconic Brunswick Centre. Catherine attended a local Catholic primary school and a south London convent secondary school before going on to train at the Central School of Speech and Drama.

She began her television career with roles in serial dramas such as Casualty and The Bill and appeared in comedy series such as The Harry Hill Show, Big Train, Wild West and That Peter Kay Thing before being given her own show which she co-wrote with Derren Litten.

The Catherine Tate Show is an award-winning television sketch comedy show which airs on BBC Two. Comedienne Catherine Tate writes and appears in all of the show's sketches, which feature a wide range of characters.

The first series of the show, which consisted of six episodes, aired from February to March 2004. A DVD of this series was released in August 2005.

A second series aired from July to August 2005, and a 40-minute Christmas special was aired on December 20, 2005

Tate had roles in three films in 2006. These films included; Starter for Ten, Sixty Six and Scenes of a Sexual Nature. She appears in the forthcoming films: Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution, in which she plays the title character, and Love and Other Disasters.

It was announced on 4th July that Catherine would play the part of Doctors Whos trusty sidekick for the forthcoming new series.

After last year’s successful Christmas episode which pulled in 9.4 million viewers, Catherine Tate was asked at a press screening if she would like to become the Dr’s new companion, in which she replied "I would love to, but no one has asked."

Anyway, I'd like to repost it again, because I simply can't get enough of her!! I love her alot!

And my all time favourite, Translator!




More can be found in Youtube. Do inform me of videos that you find interesting too!


Am I bovvered? Anyway, I screwed up Mother Oral today. The teachers totally refused to help translate it in English for me, and so, I had to 'anyhow hantam' my way through. The passage was something about an Elephant, while the conversation was about government banning mama shops from placing things outside on the walkway. I was so ignorant to bother asking, that I though mama shop was 'street hawker' in chinese. And so, I totally went out of point. Hopefully, the examiners pity me, I hope!

Singapore Blog Awards - Youth category

A while back, I signed up for a "competition" in this Site
. As time went by, I totally forgot about it and was quite shocked when I received a call from one of their staff, informing me that I was one of the top 10 finalists for the Youth category. I wasn't that sure, as the "competition" had slipped passed my mind. But as soon as I hung up the phone, I immediately went to check out their site.

Boy, was I happy. I have never won any "competition" from blogging, well it isn't really winning, but achieving the top 10 is already a great accomplishment to me!


All I need right now, is for you readers to vote for me!

All you have to do, is go to this Site
and hover over a picture of a girl in an orangey background. If it reads http://www.sitandwhine.blogspot.com, Click on it and vote for me! (Just one more great excuse to tell your parents that you need to use the computer! Lol)


Of course, no one leaves empty handed. Because I found out that voters can actually stand to win prizes by actually voting! There is a daily quota of one vote per category per day, which means that you can vote daily, to increase your chances!

now, you might be wondering, what do I win if I vote? Well, you actually stand a chance to win travel packages to Bangkok, Vietnam and a luxurious resort accommodation package in Phuket. Isn't that good? Who doesn't need a break from all this stress in Life isn't it? What's more you don't have to spend much effort, but to just vote for your favourite blogger per category everyday!

I'm not holding a knife and forcing you to vote for me. No, you actually can vote for others, because I feel that one should gain votes only if your readers like your blog, and think that you stand a chance to win.


So I guess, all i can say is, Vote for me, if you think I deserve it! (voting till 31st July)


By the way, I need ideas because I have to submit photos of my hand, doing anything i think, is symbolic to blogging. The dateline is 4th July. I'm running out of ideas, and I need help! Please? Leave a comment if you do have any idea. Your ideas will be much appreciated!!

Update on my weekend

This weekend has been spent with a rather "slacking" attitude. I have been up till 4 plus in the morning, chatting with Shera on Msn.

Some of you might go "cheh, 4 plus only, i play maple/habbo/dota or whatever games longer lah, this one small fry."

Well, I can't say much to that, but anyway, this online chat actually is rather ridiculous. Because it is nothing but making up stories of people and reading people's friendster profiles.

And regarding the story-making, we can sound so far-fetched, like creating a story that "someone" got hit by his best friend because he have him the rock (lift eyebrow) look.




Hahah.


I'm kind of worried for my O'levels Mother tongue oral tomorrow. I'm not like some who goes on and on about how bad he/she is, that he/she will fail and all, but in the end, he/she gets an A1 and still thinks it's not good enough.

No. I'm not like that. I'm really bad at it, that I even considered dropping it once. See, my family speaks mainly English, if not, it'll be a mixed up language of Malay, Hokkien, Peranakan and English. So, the Chinese language gets neglected and thus, i have difficulty succeeding in it.

I failed on my recent mother tongue oral because I had no idea what the teacher was talking about. I asked her to translate the question in English and unfortunately, she wasn't good in doing it. So the oral ended in me giggling at myself for the humiliating act of 'anyhow out Chinese words together' and her giggling at me, because my Chinese sentences made no sense to her at all. Oh yah, and I read the word, 幽默 which is supposed to be 'you mo', as "chou mo", in the passage. Stupid or what. So how to pass?

Hahah.


Lastly, To end off,I'd like to wish ALL WHO ARE TAKING THE O' AND N' LEVEL ORAL(BOTH ENGLISH AND CHINESE), GOOD LUCK!

Must wish me too okay, because I'll need loads of it to pass!! hahah.

The next terrorizing blogger?

If you've been sticking to Nuffnang's innit posts lately, you would have noticed something going on in there. Apparently a fellowblogger
posted "Top 10 dub things ppl do to their blog", which has undoubtedly sparked comments flying all over.

Many have felt that she was unfair in her judgment. There was even a post that was replied to her, from another blogger
who disagreed to the previous blogger's opinions.


However, the first blogger realized that things were not going well and so, she created a video, clarifying her opinions on the post. (note: turn volume to maximum as it is really soft)




I do have some agreements with both sides of the party, but what ruined it, was that the first blogger actually did the video, which entirely contradicts what she has in her post. Besdies, why so garang? Some people prefer to do things their way for their own "style", and so i guessed they can be blame isn't it? If everyone were to have the same opinions, then the world, or rather blogosphere, would have clones instead of originality.


I don't know. But what do you think?

School's in, Life's out

It's actually a long time since I last blogged about my daily life. I'm sure many wouldn't want to bother about it, and so, here's a quick one.

School started, and term 3 is going to be a task to prove to ourselves and others that we are capable of overcoming the challenge, which is of course, the big O's.

Everyone around me seems more engaged in their work, and I am too, driven to compete with them. Hopefully, my class can work together in supporting each other to strive hard.

English class has been the greatest class to attend, as always. My teacher actually told us that brushing our teeth with salt and rough coffee powder, could actually clean and whiten your teeth. I'm curious if it'll work, and I'll definitely try it out during the weekends. But the funny thing was, she said that after telling us this, she want us to NOT try it at home, and not tell our parents that it's taught by her. hahah.


Anyway, I've been having Dreams and deja vu lately, and some seems pretty unpleasant. But one of the dream left me drooling on bed. It's none other than GUITAR HERO 3!!! Watch the video below.




Nice right? It looks so fun! I want one!!

Anyway, I youtube-ed further and found some incredible songs to play on Guitar Hero 3. It's really unbelievable that there's actually a song like that to play!

Watch:







The last one was total madness!

Speaking of guitars, I found a video of a guy playing superbly well. I'm not sure what song it was, and if you do, tag me!





And lastly before I leave, I'd like to show you guys a video. Hopefully I can try it out too!

enjoy!

Someone whom I look up to

A question from my English Oral practice paper actually made me stop to think,real deep.
The question was: Describe someone whom you look up to.


And this post today, will be my answer to that question.


A little background info(true story) of this person that I looked up to, Vernon:

Vernon's mom was 7 months and two weeks pregnant. She was living in a horrible place and often attempted to kill herself because of family issues. But what stopped her from taking her life, was her very first baby, Vernon. She looked lived on instead because she felt that God gave her a great gift, and that was this child.

Two weeks later, Vernon's mom was in labour, and Vernon was born. His mom thought that she was blessed for having such a beautiful child, and that all her problems were gone. However, Vernon was two weeks premature and had to stay in the ICU for a month. After being stabilized, he was discharged.

From then on, Vernon's mom looked forward to life even more, because she had her precious with her.

However, things changed for the worst. Vernon's mom got into more quarrels with dad, and his & her family. She didn't have money to feed the poor kid. But, somehow, they struggled and managed to live on.

At age 10, he was transferred from Monfort primary school to WDP, which seemed alien to him. There he started from scratch and developed a passion for badminton. He represented the school and won in so many competitions that secondary schools were already knocking on his door, wanting him to join them when he graduated. But he kindly declined, and instead went to a secondary school that was a half an hour ride from home. He chose the school because it did not offer Badminton. He wanted a break from it.

But, in AES, he found his true passion, which was track and field. He was so in love with it, that he trained day and night, just to improve on his timing. Everyday, he would carry his metal starting block to the stadium, training hard under the blistering hot sun. He wanted to be the best. At first his mom thought that he was crazy, because he even skipped exams to represent the school. Soon his mom realized her son's burning passion for it and though she had no money, she hunted high and low for appropriate running shoes for him, and that meant that she had to borrow $$ to pay for the costly shoes.

Vernon wanted to be the best. And he did. Vernon made his dreams come through and even appeared in the tabloids. He was not only recognized in his school zone, but he was recognized nationwide. He even represented Singapore to run in Australia.





However, working hard for his running meant that his studies were neglected. He failed in his finals. not giving, he repeated school but unfortunately, did not make it by a mere point. Vernon and his mom approached SCDF and the MP,looking for an opportunity/chance to get into Poly. But they were in vain.

Vernon was at a lost. He didn't know what to do. He had planned to go to Poly and continue running. He did not have plan B and was disappointed that he did not make it to Poly. To add to his misery, Vernon broke his shin from over training, and adding the fact that he was bold legged, Vernon could not run anymore. Devastation slowly seeped in as he realized that his career plans were gone, just like that.

Not giving up, Vernon went for his NS. There, he trained hard for his BMT and was supposed to be the best soldier. However, during one of the training, Vernon broke his wrist and because of that, he couldn't complete his chin-ups. Such a disappointment to him.


After he attended army, he decided to join Laselle, an art school. See, Vernon was not only good at running, he was fantastic at art as well. But nothing could replace his passion for running. He worked hard, burning the midnight oil, just to complete the demanding amount of work that completely drained him.

But his family still had financial difficulties, and after completing his Diploma (only), he quit school. His father could not support the family, and his mother wasn't paid well enough. And so, he decided to work, to help support the family which was now a family of 5, including him, his mom, dad, sister and brother.

Vernon started out as an apprentice at a tattoo shop. He worked hard to master the art of tattooing. And he was good at it.












































I especially love his portraits which were really unique because they didn't require tonnes of shadings, but instead, it was just the black "shadows", making the portraits look as though they were stamped onto your skin.


But coming from the tattoo world is really tough. Because everyone is competing for the best tattoo designs. And joining the tattoo business for only a year, Vernon had no chance in rising to fame fast. So how was he going to help bring food home for the family?

The reason why I look up to him is because of his undying effort to not give up, and to find alternatives to make things better. Even though he didn't have a career, he actually took responsibility into helping his family.

The next Dawn Yang , XiaXue and Xiao Yun?

I was blog-hopping through the net and I found this rather interesting site


I don't know if she had been through plastic surgery but she sure looks pretty to me! I never thought that Thais were fair. Anyway, just like Dawn Yang, she has received many criticisms. She was even labeled as a Dawn Yang wannabe. Well, is she?


Well, I got rather intrigued by it, and so I decided to google "Xiaxue wannabe". Can't hep it right, once you're famous, people will start checking things out about you. Anyway, here's the results. (I'm sorry if this has offended anyone. And if you are, then by all means tag me, and I'll try to make changes.)


Anyway, i found a site. Her name's May Zhee

Well, in her very long post, she actually clarifies that she and XiaXue are from two different worlds (more like two different countries) and throws in different occasions of being labeled as a wannabe, as well as her point of view.

In her post, she also pointed out a XiaXue wannabe who copied XiaXue by buying a Juicy Couture Bag for her dog. Yes her dog. Anyway her name is Cheesie


I've read through her post a couple of times, but I couldn't find any self-proclaimed "I'm just like Xia Xue" trademarks. And as far as I could recall, I don't think Xiaxue bought any juicy couture bag for her dog. I don't think she even has a dog.


Anyway, speaking of XiaXue.. Remember when XiaXue posted about the top 7 most disgusting bloggers
. This post has definitely set bloggers and netizens crazy about it.

Well, I know that many have tried to replicate her post, when the topic was hot. But only recently, while looking through princess taqinah's blog awards, i came-across this site
that labels 2 fellow bloggers as disgusting.

If you've clicked on the site, and haven't noticed, it's in Chinese. But fortunately, having learnt Chinese for the past 12 years, i'm able to read it! Unfortunately, my Chinese quite bad, so pardon and correct if i misinterpreted certain words. And let's begin.


"Among all bloggers, i feel that he's(Fauzi Rassull) is the most disgusting blogger.

His looks and even clothes are very girly.

Look at how he dresses.

Whether it's shirt or pants, it's still worn very tight.

But overall, I really admire his blogging style. His content is very good, and his posts are not bad.

This blogger is none other than Fauzi Rassull!"

Hahah, okay, I've left out the Steven Lim part, because I think even without translation, we all understand why he's disgusting.

Anyway, back to Fauzi Rassull. I have read Fauzi Rassulls's blog and I don't think that his dressing is that girly. It's not that bad what. I believe that he is not a trend follower, but a trend setter.

To me, I think that a disgusting blogger, should be someone who's disgusting in his/her blog. Someone who constantly blogs about how macho he is and how much girls ogle at him, when in fact, he's some fat, ugly guy who takes photos of himself while dressed in baggy three-quarters and a singlet, showing off his man-boobs. Now, That's disgusting.

I don't actually think that bloggers should be judged by their looks though, but should be judged by their content in their blog? No?


Anyway, it seems like my blog has been attracting traffic especially for Dawn Wayang
and Xiao Yun
post.

Maybe I should be a wannabe too. the next Xiao Yun? (no appropriate photo, so anyhow hantam one old photo in.)











hahah!

Best love song ever

People have often thought of their love as the best one ever. Teens especially tend to have this mindset that "oh, i love you so much, and I can't live my Life without you". It's kind of funny to me, because you've been living your Life well enough, before you knew "your love".

I may be wrong to question your Love. And you may think hat you've done and said to your Love all the sweetest things ever.

Well, just watch this video, and judge for yourself. Have you said that to your love?


I'm only a 16 year old, and I may not know much. But this video has sure made my mum cry her heart out.



Enjoy!





Maybe you didn't catch it well enough. Fret not, I've got the lyrics for you to follow word for word!

Lyrics | Collin Raye lyrics

It just makes your heart melt isn't it?

Xiao Yun, You're not alone!

After posting about Sichuan's new celebrity, Xiao Yun, I've come to realize that there has been an uproar about her armpit hair. It bothers me now, to wonder whether fellow netizens are bothered about her using Sichuan Earthquake Funds to gain popularity, to actually help S.E.F or HER ARMPIT HAIR.












True enough, no one likes seeing the fairer sex; women (whom I supposed, is seen "artistically" as a perfect figure, with lines that define the body's curve so perfectly that it makes you either jealous(females) or ogle at them) with any hair, be it facial, arms or armpits. It spoils the whole "perfect" image. No?


I did some "research" on Google.com and have found some female celebrities with this unique sense of style to not shave armpit hair,and pose for pictures for the paparazzi.













Take Julia Roberts for instance. Well, to me, she sure doesn't seem a tad bit embarrassed to show off her armpit hair.













And Drew Barrymore is sure not afraid to flaunt her "hair"with this dress.












What's a great way to show off your arm out hair without making it to obvious? Pretend to tie your hair when you're wearing a sleeveless top! Good one, Danielle.













I don't know her name but I'm sure the voters would want to withdraw their votes after seeing her arm to her head. It looks long and dense. Lol!


Hmm, the world is definitely changing. Women are having armpit hair, and maybe a few years down the road, women will start growing facial hair like this:








And compete in a competition with men with facial hair!















Or develop chest hair:



















And then when they're all paranoid with all the long tangles, they'll shave it all off, like Britney!

Gain Fame?

I've made changes to my post on Dawn Wayang
because I felt that it was a bias judgment to have said that it was ridiculous of poser(s) to criticize her like that.


Sometimes, we assume that people do things to achieve something they want and we're so blinded by their magnificent success, that we tend to ignore the hidden truth about things.


I don't know, but to me, I think there's some similarity between Xiao Yun's case and Dawn's case.
It always strikes back to "being popular/famous". True?


By the way, Here's my new favourite video!!

Girl willing to expose more skin for people to donate to Sichuan EarthQuake Funds

I was reading the New Paper this morning and I noticed a small article on the Cover page.




Being rather KPO, I flipped to the page and to my horror, I saw a full page article on a teenage girl!

No, it wasn't a murder or rape case, neither was it a singing/acting prodigy.

It was an article about a Beijing teen who posts sexy picture online asking for Sichuan earth quake Donations!



Right now, there are more than 100 photographs of her being circulated online! Picture include herself posing in what appears to be her bedroom.



She said(quoted): "I am from Sichuan. My hometown has been badly hit by the recent earthquake. It's encouraging to see people donating to help - I will release more photographs of myslef to encourage more people to donate".


Xiaoyun actually asked viewers to look at her body "artistically", stating that "women's bodies are meant to be admired that way".

Her post has definitely created a huge uproar online, but with mixed reactions to it. Some bloggers have protested against her actions stating that this stunt was done to "help catapult her to online fame" and " she probably just wants to use the viral nature of Internet to raise her profile online".

One however, lauded her, saying that he admired her "willingness to express herself".
Another even commented on her unshaved armpit. He sure must be one Chee-ko-pek! (hahha)

To me, this stunt carried out by Xiao Yun is really creative, in a way that she uses artistic measures to urge people to donate to Sichuan Earthquake funds. I for one, admire her patriotism to the country, having to willing expose more photos just so that people can donate.

However, I feel that not everyone will/can look at her body artistically and would probably feel she is trying to boost her profile online. Easy way to get hired as a model/porn star right?


But I'm curious though. Why must she resort to such extreme actions just for donations? Can't she post videos of the Earthquake victims suffering or even sing a song to get people to sympathize with her, to urge them to donate?

I'm sure most of the people who donate on seeing her photos are definitely Chee-Ko-Peks!!

What do you think of this stunt pulled out by her?



More photos can be found at(In Chinese only!) : http://bbs.ganji.com/hot/%D0%A1%D4%C6/

Progesterex - A drug to help rape women?

Taken from an Email:

Please Inform all your Female Friends !!!!!

A woman at a bar on a Saturday night was taken by 5 men, who, according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her. Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes, along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood and Progesterex, essentially a small sterilization pill.

The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape AND sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets to sterilize large animals. Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rape drug.

As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before. Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't get pregnant; she won't conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later.


The drug's effects ARE NOT TEMPORARY - They are P*E*R*M*A*N* E*N*T!!! Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses.. Any female who takes it will NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE... The weasels can get this drug from anyone who is in the vet school or any university.

It's that easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big on campuses everywhere. Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I was curious enough to do a research on the drug, progesterex and I was dumbfounded to have find wikipedia having an article on it, labeling the drug as a hoax.

Site: Click Here


Who are we to believe? I mean wikipedia can be edited, so can the email.

Shaolin Girl Premier

Yesterday I brought my mum to watch a movie at Vivocity. It's actually all thanks to Nuffnang, because I actually "won" tickets to go watch a movie called "Shaolin Girl".

I did a little research before I went to watch it, and here's it's synopsis.

Produced by Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer, CJ7), Shaolin Girl tells the story of a girl by the name of Rin, who is compelled to take over her late grandfather’s kung-fu dojo. She endures 3,000 days of brutal training at the Shaolin Martial Arts School in China before returning to her native Japan. But what awaits her is a dojo that lies in tatters and students who have abandoned the true discipline of Shaolin kung-fu.

While struggling to restore her grandfather’s school to its former glory and spread a genuine Shaolin philosophy, Rin attends university where she becomes the star member of the lacrosse team. While Rin’s exceptional physical abilities being a string of victories to the team, her teammates in turn come to her aid by helping her reestablish the dojo. Just as fortune seems to smile upon her, a dark incident from a past Rin knew nothing about rears its ugly head and throws her into a fantastic showdown with tremendous evil. Is the Shaolin Girl up to the challenge?

And here's the trailer:


I thought it was going to be a movie where it is a mere reflection of Shaolin Soccer, just that it was lacrosse instead of soccer.

But I was wrong.


In short, this movie actually shows that in order to succeed in something(let's say kung fu), one not only has to be good in it, but understand the spirit of it. In this movie it shows that people can be influenced rather easily, letting them be prey to the Dark Side.

I thought the ending was going to be expected, that she was going to kill him, but instead, she hugged him. And as I believe, the greatest gift from God is a hug. And this actually proves it, hugs do change people's live and change them into a better person.

The movie, even though is rather meaningful, is also really funny. Come on, Steven Chow can never live without amusing his audience and so, this movie was expected to be funny.


It's a short post, and all I want to say is, quoted from Adam Khoo "Everyone needs 7 hugs a day, to be happy".

So what are you waiting for? Go on' hugging!

Happy Bak Chang Day

It's the time of the year to eat Bak Chang again!



I've been eating Bak Chang for 16 years but I never once questioned the origin of it, until now.

Where Bak Chang/ Zong zi originated from:

Zongzi is traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival (Mandarin: Duanwu; Cantonese: Tuen Ng) which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese Calendar (approximately early- to mid-June), commemorating the death of Qu Yuan, a famous Chinese Poet from the kingdom of Chu who lived during the Warring States period. Known for his patriotism, Qu Yuan tried unsuccessfully to warn his king and countrymen against the expansionism of their Qin neighbors. When the Qin Dynasty general Bai Qi took Yingdu, the Chu capital, in 278 BC, Qu Yuan's grief was so intense that he drowned himself in the Miluo River after penning the Lament for Ying. According to legend, packets of rice were thrown into the river to prevent fish from eating the poet's body. Another version states that zongzi were given to placate a dragon that lived in the river.

Interesting isn't it? But anyway, to all who love to eat Bak Chang, like my family, HAPPY BAK CHANG DAY!!!


Anyway, while eating Bak Chang, I YouTube-ed and found a few wonderful videos.

And all of them come from: Britain's Got Talent.

If you haven't watched it before, I suggest you go and search for it, either on TV or YouTube.
Britain's Got Talent is something like American, only that it's from Britain and it's auditions are not only for singers, but dancers, actors and all sorts of entertainment you can think of.

I once did a post about another singer from Britain's Got Talent and she's none other than Connie Talbot. http://sitandwhine.blogspot.com/2008/02/connie-talbot.html


Anyway, this time, there tow performances. One's by this cute 13 year old chubby boy, Andrew Johnston. What's sad about him is that he used to be bullied because of his love for opera type of music. He didn't have much friends because they didn't that kind of music. But boy, he sure can sing!!! I like him alot, and I do hope he can beat those bullies back.







Breath-taking isn't it??


The other one, isn't a singer. They're actually dancers! But they don't work as dancers at all, one's a lawyer, while the other, is a sales executive. And the lawyer, wowee, is one good Michael Jackson impersonator!!!



The best one of all:



Who doesn't love Bangra music now?!?!


To end this post off, I'd like to show a video and a picture that's my all time favourite. Enjoy!!

Real Dawn Yang, please stand up

Everyone knows that Dawn Yang's site is http://www.xanga.com/clapbangkiss.

I like reading Dawn's blog, because it's interesting to know or rather, have an update of all the hottest spots she goes to. Just looking at her face mesmerizes me(hahha, I've gotta' admit, she's hot and would make any girl envy her).

Anyway, I was blog-hopping and found to my amusement, that there's this poser(s) who pretends to be Dawn Yang and discriminates her in every way possible.

Check this link out: http://www.xanga.com/dawn_wayang"



It's really hilarious.


I actually thought that it was extremely disgusting for a low-life person to do something to Dawn. I don't know but a mystical fairy like image always forms in my head whenever I think/hear/see (of) Dawn's name/face. hahha.

But after a few chats here and there, I've come to realized that my words had to corrected. I guess I don't know her well enough to say that she's all "innocent", having heard that she's been claiming she's mix blood(thai/dutch/jap) when she's pure Chinese Singaporean, I think.

Well, all I can say is, everyone wants to be accepted, and I guess she lied(maybe?) so that she could be accepted. You know, coming from Singapore, foreigners are always more accepted than Singaporeans themselves.

As for the Plastic Surgery, maybe she just wanted to be like Micheal Jackson?

hahah.

Here's a link that's interesting to read:http://mooiness.com/2006/08/22/dawn-yang-confronts-those-rumours/">Dawn Yang confronts rumours


I guess the Dawn_Wayang site wants to inform impressionable teens to (not) regard her as a role model and do extensive plastic surgery just like her. Thus thinking that it's perfectly acceptable to spend your parents hard earned money just to go for plastic surgery to look like dawn. It's just with a weird twist of humor.

Blogging = Good or Bad?

The post today, is about blogging: Is blogging good or bad for you?

We live in a world where people tend to focus more on the bad side of things than the good. The internet, for example, has been a hot debate to whether it causes harm or benefits you.

When children don't do well in their studies, parents tend to blame the internet, and computer games for the bad results. Parents always ground or "ban" their kids from using the computer till they achieve better grades. But who or what is to be blame? Shouldn't the kids be blamed for not working hard enough, and neglecting schoolwork for games? Or should the schools, or even parents be blamed for continuously stressing out the kids, causing them to "freak out" or be rebellious?

Blogging is another big issue.

People gain fame (in a good way or bad) from blogging. Some, even benefit from their blogs because it not only brings them fame, but fortune as well.

I for one, don't necessarily blog for fame nor fortune, but for the mere fun of it. Blogging has been a useful tool for me, because not only does it expand my creativity, it also enables me to search for things/issues to blog about. I also blog-hop frequently. Thus, by doing so, I can update myself on all the latest buzz, be it in the entertainment industry or worldwide catastrophes. I'd say it's a rather interesting way to update ourselves.


On the other hand, a lot of people, including my dad are not huge fans of blogging. My dad thinks that it causes corruption of minds just from merely clicking from blog to blog.

Some blogs,true enough (it's either they want to gain fame from this sort of stuff or they think it's cool posting them) post about sex scandals and nude photos. People had posts about Paris Hilton's sex tape, High School Musical's Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens) nude phots.There were even posts about Singapore's very own sex diva: Tammy aka NYP scandal. I bet there's going to be more.

Posts like these not only bring unwanted attention to the victims(but I think Paris doesn't mind) but also to the fellow blogger who posted it. But it does increase you traffic flow though.Come on, who wouldn't click on a post with a title: "Crazy hot sex tapes and nude photos!!!"? Majority of us would, and to worsen things, amateurs who try hard to be accepted by fellow friends who have watched it, would click on it too, just so that they can be "cool" too, and discuss it together.


It's posts like these that are being circulated around and innocent minds and eyes are stained with "bad stuff".

So, is blogging good, or bad for you?
