All Hail The Queen

It was a double dose of Queen Latifah as she was a guest on both The Ellen Show (Ellen Degeneres' Emmy-award winning talkshow) as well as The Tyra Banks Show (which is nominated for 2 Emmys this year) which was just aired on Channel 5.

See, this is one of the advantages of being an insomniac; you get to watch late-night TV (which, to be honest, is much better than most of the shows they air on primetime)

Anyway, Queen Latifah and her ever down-to-earth attitude really perked up the shows with her spontaneous responses. Here're 2 examples (1 from each show) where her response cracked me up almost immediately.


On The Ellen Show:

Ellen: You know, the Paparazzis have been really mean as of late with their accusations of Tyra being fat and all (referring to that infamous shot of her in that one-piece yellow swimsuit) because she was a model. With you however, I only hear words of you being sexy and beautiful. Now how do you respond to those accusations?

Queen Latifah: Yeah yeah, I've heard of those accusations... And I'm guilty as charged!!


On The Tyra Banks Show:

Tyra: You have always been known as someone who's voluptuous and curvacious. What do you say to yourself when you see other young women like Jennifer Hudson and America Ferrera who're just as curvacious and are comfortable with the way they look?

Queen Latifah: It's curva-tion nation, baby!!


Queen Latifah (who is one of my idols) is the embodiment of beauty; flaws and all. She embraces her flaws and weaknesses and turns it around into an object of beauty. She is, in Tyra's own words, the pioneer of curvacious women being comfortable with who they are and how they look. Time and time again, she has proven that with proper dressing, you can look hotter than any beauty queen.

That is why she's one of my idols. Not because I wanna look hotter than a beauty queen (though I do think that I'm hotter than the current Miss Singapore Universe), but because she is a motivator of self confidence and self acceptance.

We all have flaws, you and I. I for one have learned to embrace my biggest flaw (which is the fact that I'm blacker darker than most people of my race) and accept myself for who I am. And hey, who dares deny the fact that Maman is one hell of a sexy bitch!

Well... If you're still in doubt over my last statement, go ask the entire line of gorgeous men who're waiting (just waiting) for me right now! They will gladly testify on my beauty, both inner and on the surface; flaws and all.

Wahahahhahahahahaha!!!!!


P/S: Sorry guys... =P

Worth The Click: Part I

I don't know if any of you have actually bothered to check out the cool links I've posted on the sidebar, but I highly recommend that you check out Boy On A Stick And Slither. Those who have read my previous blog would probably recall the few BOASAS strips I posted.

I was introduced to this hilariously wonderful webbie from a friend (though I can't seem to recall who) somewhere around 2 1/2 years ago and since then, it has never once failed to tickle my funnybone.

Okay okay... Here's from their latest untitled strip...

Boy On A Stick: Stuntmen. Daredevils. What's the Difference?
Slither: Stuntmen are sellouts.
Boy On A Stick: And Daredevils aren't motivated by money?
Slither: No! They're motivated by dares... and the Devil.

And here's another example from one of their newer strips, "Other Than"...

Slither: Other than drinking blood, what's so bad about vampires?
Boy On A Stick: Uh... They work for the Devil!
Slither: How can you fault a man for working for a living?

Now do you see why I love the webbie so much? The creator of BOASAS, Steve L. Cloud is a friggin' genius I tell you. Now that he's posted almost 800 strips online (I'm sure there're lots more which have yet to be posted), he should seriously consider introducing a few more characters and turning it into an animated sitcom. I'm sure it'd be an instant hit alongside Famiy Guy, South Park and The Simpsons.

Speaking of Family Guy (which btw, I totally love), Boy On A Stick reminds me a lot of Stewie and Slither reminds me of Brian. Only difference is, Boy On A Stick isn't as aggressive as Stewie, and also, he's not bent on World Domination.

Come to think of it... Stewie reminds me a lot of (Pinky and the) Brain.

Don't be a cheebye lah!!

Err... Eew... Thank god I'm gay!!

Gundu Goes Green

It has come to my attention that most vegetarians have almost-flawless complexion. Yes yes, thank you for all the compliments I've received so far on my relatively smooth skin, but as the cliche (but most definitely true) statement goes, nobody's perfect, and I for one know that there's room for improvement in making my skin more radiant and healthy.

Oh just so you know, I don't have to go to the extend of smothering my face with all sorts of products to maintain my fairly (pun intended) smooth complexion. I only apply my Nivea oil control daily facial wash (twice a day - once after my morning shower and the other when I get back home from work), and once every fortnightly, I'd use a pore strip (to get rid of those darn blackheads), exfoliating gel (to remove the dead (r.i.p) skin cells on my face) and then I'd finish off with a relaxing facial mask.

It's an undaunting task really, if you were to compare it with the beauty regime most people practice. Hey, I might be gay, but I'm straighter than you think okay! Haha!

Anyway, going back to my point, I've been sleeping on the thought of going on a temporary vegetarian diet for the past couple of days. To those who know me damn well and are laughing their asses off at this very moment, shut the hell up okay! I know I'm a friggin' carnivore (really, how can one not have meat/seafood in their plate of food?!) but I'm sure you'd recall the days where I'd only consume fruits (and drink juices), and I'm sure you know that I'd spend at least half an hour on the salad bar (if we've gone for buffets together, that is)!

So, with that said.... Impossible meh?? Okay okay, it is impossible for me to turn into a full-time vegetarian (heavens forbid!) lah, but if it's only for a week or two (or at the very most a month?)... Can right?

Eh come on lah... Give me some friggin' support can?! And to Sharon and Ivan whom I know are still laughing their asses off right now, shut the bloody hell up you baboons! (side note: I miss you 2 bitches lah! Sob sob)

The Opportunist

I found yet another hilarious Thai ad on YouTube. I almost died laughing while watching this lah! Hahahahahahaha!!!!

On a side note, I've also noticed that Thais have the accentric flair of grabbing the masses' attention through slapstick, even though they're much more successful in the genre of horror.

Hmmm... Ambivalent much?

Indifferent

It's HIS birthday today.

"Who who who? Ex-boyfriend? Old flame? Someone I used to date?"

NO!

The negligent bastard who cheated on my mom, and then married that bitch he now calls wife, only to take such good care of her son, and in the process, neglected me throughout my entire life man who calls himself my father (though I can't say the same for myself) turns 51 today.

Well... Happy Birthday.

That's all. I've already acknowledged the significance of today (after much force persuasion from Kenneth), so don't expect me to do anything else. No home-made cards, no presents, no nothing!

...it's not like he ever did anything for me anyway.

Take It Off, Baby.

It's impossible
It's impossible to love you
If you don't let me know what you're feeling

It's impossible for me to give you what you need
If you're always hidin' it from me

I don't know what hurt you
I just wanna make it right
Cos boy I'm sick and tired
Of tryin' to read your mind


Cos it's impossible
Oh baby it's impossible
For me to love you this way
It's impossible
Oh baby it's impossible
If you're makin' it this way

Impossible to make it easy
If you always tryin' to make it so damn hard

How can I?
How can I give you all my love, baby
If you're always,
Always puttin' up your guard?

This is not a circus
Don't you play me for a clown
How long can emotions
Keep on goin' up and down?

It's impossible
Oh baby it's impossible
For me to love you this way
It's impossible
Oh baby it's impossible
If you keep treatin' me this way
Over, over, over and over

Impossible baby
If you're makin' it this way, this way

Oh baby, it's impossible
If you're makin' it this way

Aon! Aon! Aon!

Found this hilarious Thai Tv commercial on YouTube. Moral of the story, stop whining whenever your mom asks you to do the household chores! Haha!

Enthu much?

I guess it's no surprise that I'm really looking forward to my birthday this year. It's only been 24 hours since I started with this new blog and already, I've embedded the countdown counter and my birthday wishlist on the sidebar.

Okay okay, I'm sure most of you would know that I'm usually very excited when it comes to gettin older my birthday, but this year, the excitement's more than usual.

"Ape jer... 20 only what!! Not like it's your 21st or anything."

See, that's where you're wrong. It's not just about turning 20. Yes, I know 21 is a more significant age as compared to 20, but don't let that underestimate the importance of being 20. This is the age where, as how Britney Spears perfectly puts it, everyone should be singing "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" out loud!

Well... You get my drift! Haha!

See, 20 is the age where you go through the transition of pre-adulthood and adulthood. This is where you reflect on the past 2 decades (well, most of it), correct your mistakes (or at least make an effort to), and prepare yourself before life grabs you by the balls and throws you into the full-blown world of adulthood.

Hur hur hur... I like the way that sounds...

A New Beginning

Just as the title suggests, I have decided to move away from my previous blog of 2 years.

"You changing blog arh? Then your old one how? Eh, you all along use that blog, why you suddenly wanna change sia?"

Well, the previous blog holds a sentimental value which I've learned not to appreciate any longer, for it reminds me of the eminent pain of the last 2 years.

The pain is not solely caused by the emotional trauma left from my first relationship, neither was the disappointment of unexplored possibilities from the second the main contributor. They both had a part, yes, but neither is the main cause for my move.

Aargh, I can't seem to put a finger on what is it that made me want to move away from that blog! My mind is a blank and my thoughts have abruptly come to a halt! It's probably due to the brief flashback I had just a few seconds ago. The flashback of how I led and lived my life back then.

That's it! I just figured it out without even realizing for the past 5 minutes! Haha! I guess that's the thorn in the flesh which I've decided to remove; the way my life was led. Even more so was the direction that it was heading.

I was young. I was weak. I was naive.

Take this move as a step, my friends. A step towards being a better person. A step towards being a more responsible person, and most importantly, a step towards being someone who knows the smart way of playing this game we're all in; this tricky little game we call life.
