Try and Win Chance to LA to Watch American Idol!

Written by Nicholas Chan on March 9, 2010 – 11:43 pm -

Do you watch the Season 9 of American Idol? Frankly, I was not really into American Idol until now, I was too bored, no more Heroes, no more Prison Break, no more Fringe, no more American Got Talent, it’s a little bit bored now and I turned to American Idol. Interesting!

Last time, I watch only the final and hear it from people, so I knew about Adam Lambert, David Cook, David Archuleta, Kelly Clarkson, William Hung and so on. Now I am watching it from audition, still catching it up till the latest episode on some Chinese Internet TV. Very nice, I like.

Powerful singing and I like it when the judge “shoot” them. Hehe.

By the way, I accidentally found out about this American Idol’s contest while surfing some forum, it’s a contest which actually will gives me chance to LA to see American Idol! OMG.

The contest very simple, but I very lame because I don’t really know about the entertainment news. I only know Kathryn Bigelow won the Oscars lately. Haha, or Simon Cowell leaving American Idol after this season 9. I only know the basic basic one. ^^

So, I always ting tong tiang, do guessing on the answer for the question. Password to the question is pretty simple, it’s only to see how fast you can give the answer for the question, then stand chance to go LA. Nevermind, I will try everyweek until I really failed. Now still OK yet. Won’t give up because I want to go LA!

Lilly Scott is powerful! Don’t you think so?

What I Think About 82nd Oscars

Written by Nicholas Chan on March 9, 2010 – 12:40 am -

I woke up pretty early today, not very early, at 9am exactly, washed up, then lay my lazy ass on the comfy couch and turned the satellite TV to the channel broadcasting 82nd Annual Academy Awards, a.k.a. Oscars. This is my first time watching a LIVE telecast of Oscars and I am a fan of movie and film. I didn’t watch all the 10 nominated Best Motion Pictures, but have watched Avatar, District 9, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Up and Up In The Air.

The event was so grand and I imagine myself, one day being at the event, as an invited guest or perhaps a behind-the-scene filmmaker? I’m dreaming definitely. Haha.

Well, the result is out. The Hurt Locker by top director, James Cameron’s ex wife Kathryn Bigelow had it big, won the Best Motion Pictures. IMO, I don’t like it, perhaps Oscars winning pictures are always like that? The film does has its special and arts, the blast and booms were nice, the story is special, the acting, but just it’s not an enjoyable one. Maybe because it’s about the US Army, it’s talking about patriotism? I don’t know.

Everyone was talking about Avatar, I don’t find it very interesting though, but I find it very AMAZING, it amazed me with the 3D, the music, the way of making and the animation. It does feel hollywood to me.

I like Inglourious Basterds, nice film, nice acting, hilarious and historical with lame fictional fact. This is also the film that made me know that who is Quentin Tarantino.

Up in the Air was boring to me, maybe I don’t know the way of enjoying it, but it’s nice being nominated.

District 9 was un-hollywood too. A documentary style film, could be a new style of making film and I find no reason disliking it.

Up, the animation was an art. I do feel the art, and the story was inspiring. I understand why it did not get the best film. =D

I didn’t watch the rest like An Education, A Serious Man, Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire, and The Blind Side. Gonna check it out soon when HD releases.

Another thing I would like to say, the most enjoyable film but was not nominated in 2009 is Star Trek.^^

Do you like The Hurt Locker?

Ang Bao (Red Packet) Makes People Happy

Written by Nicholas Chan on March 3, 2010 – 12:50 am -

Chinese New Year is always so fun, I am so proud of being a Chinese because Ang Bao (Red Packet or aka Red Envelope) makes me happy. Actually it’s the same, in the west, Christmas gift makes people happy too, it’s just that we Chinese don’t buy gift, and cash is what we get. Simple and easy, no headache what to pick as gift for people.

Received quite a lot of ang bao in the past 15 days of Chinese New Year, now it ended and I got no chance to receive ang bao already. How much money inside the ang bao is not really important, the heart of giving and the happiness of receiving are more important. Some have good design too, mom purposely bought a lot of special designed ang bao from Guangzhou for Chinese New Year.

There’s also other not so pretty and simple design. I like to see good looking designed ang bao, but in the end I will still throw it all away. No point keeping it.

The best part is not the design it’s the-inside! =D

Some Photos of One World Hotel and Many Photos of Yikhung at 1Utama Shopping Mall

Written by Nicholas Chan on December 27, 2009 – 6:40 pm -

Yikhung is my brother and I don’t know why I took so many photos of him at 1Utama shopping mall. This was on my very short Kuala Lumpur trip. It’s a long time I didn’t go to 1Utama already, the time before this time was like when I was Form 2, 3 years ago. That’s quite a long time. Still remember I last time went there to look for Nintendo DS but did not buy it home.

Something random first. 1116 was my hotel room at One World Hotel. The hotel is nice but one sad thing is there’s no free internet service provided for my room and 3G connection at the place sucks during my visit.

My brother in the hotel room. Pretty big with 2 queen-sized bed.

View from the hotel is not pretty.

At the hotel.

EMO.

No smoking!

As stated from the stall, Korean Big Chicken Satay. The sauce was nice, the chicken meat so-so only.

Free cups of coffee from Starbucks on their anniversary day.

The Sky is Getting Bluer Now

Written by Nicholas Chan on November 17, 2009 – 3:50 pm -

The time is here, in less than 24 hours, I will be sitting in a classroom with 29 students, writing off the sheets of paper from morning until mid afternoon. It’s the Form 5 SPM examination which is GCE O Level equivalent. I am feeling stress, tension because of all those high expectation and I’ve set a high target for myself that’s why I am worrying, feeling frustrating, tired, sleepy, headache. Have been trying to get things going in but it’s slow. The exam maybe fast, short, finish in just a blink of eyes, or more, but the preparations, the studies of it are killing me.

Just wish me luck and I will be back soon.

On the other hand, have you realized that the sky is getting bluer at this time of the year? Although we got no four season and it’s all year hot and wet summer, sky become bluer during this “winter”.  Guess it’s time to take my camera out for a walk, but it will be after 16th December when everything is over.

Favourite spot in town.

Working on the go.

Some random photos to keep you guys updated. Happy Fall-Winter! =D
