YOG has come to an end~

Awww.. All that time & effort of countless people and the $$$ poured into it. (Exceeded twice the inital budget.. OMFG! Luckily our govt's rich enough to sustain that)
YOG has drawn to a close~

Spent my free days at home watching the Games on TV.. Watched swimming, gymnastics, diving, table tennis, track & field (long distance run, 4 x 100m medley, hurdles, steeplechase), 3-3 basketball, volleyball, soccer, archery, weightlifting, taekwondo & boxing. But i dun understand how taekwondo and boxing scoring system works, so dun like watching.. Like high kick nice nice, dun count, must got some other skill & pattern de.. Aye.. fighting is not my cup of tea..

I prefer Swee dang dang type of movements & style like diving & gymnastics as well as competitive ball games..

What i didnt manage to catch??
Sailing & Windsurfing, equestrian, badminton...

I like the idea of pairing lone representatives of different countries, so they can take part in the mixed team table tennis games.. Just that 1 week isn't enough to build camaraderie between 2 players.. But China's top girl and Tunisia's boy manage to clinch mixed team bronze medal.. This is a refreshing change with athletes of different countries cooperating with a sporting spirit~^^

Just watched the closing ceremony of YOG, the moment in time when the flame extinguished~~ Pass the Olympic games flag over to China (Nanjing) for 2014 games..
These young athletes would be too old to participate in Youth Olympic Games then, they are all hoping to meet each other at London Olympic Games 2012.. Where they'll "graduate" to the adult stage of competition.

Seen so many talented young athletes performing so well in 2010.. They would certainly be better in 2012.. I remember some names which i think will continue to stay in the limelight with their sporting achievements..

They made me wished i'd dedicated my time to a sport when i was younger.
Joined netball in primary 3 or 4..
1) I could have a chance to represent my school
2) I could have a chance to be in the National Youth team
3) I could have worn a jersey with "Singapore" on it during competitions
4) I COULD HAVE been 5 cm taller..

I can only continue this list and wishes in my dreams~~~~~~~~~~~~

KBOX
Yesterday~~

The $8 promotion is still on for Kbox members! Till mid-Oct.. Pls find time to go if u're a member or know someone who's a member (Me).. Cos it's really worth it... $8 ONLY can sing for 4hrs, plus a free drink & tidbits.
I shall end the promotion here...
Since i arent paid by Kbox to help them advertise =p

As usual, i can sing some songs which i have no recollection of when i see the song title.. But can start to sing along when the music comes on and the lyrics in front =p
But i hadnt been listening to much Mandarin pop in the past year, i no longer keep up with the new songs..
BUT when it comes to Kpop scene & JE Jpop scene, i'm pretty much in the loop..

So i'm thrilled to see Miss A's Bad Girl Good Girl ---they are a real gd rookie girl group who's set to rock Kpop scene since they attracted Good attention when they debuted just recently..
Hey! Say! JUMP's jap single Hitomi no screen 瞳のスクリーン was topping Japan's Oricon chart couple of months ago~^^
FT Island's Brand New Days was just released in Japan last month? Flower Rock was released around 2 months ago?
Kenna shocked when i saw those 2 new singles appear when i selected FT Island.. But they dun have any of their older japanese singles which i'm more familiar with.. Whats up with Kbox? Hmph..

I dun have any urge to find any Mandarin songs to sing~~ Though i can sing countless Jolin Tsai, Mayday, Stefanie Sun, Angela Zhang..... JJ Lin (older songs which were a ton nicer) songs.. Got bored of singing them these days.. I can even sing oldies like Wan Fang's songs, Faye Wong's classic songs & Karen Mok's old songs (in which the old MVs made me convolt in horror), there's just too many songs to sing~~~~
I grew up listening to this "oldies", 1990s era songs~~ Cos my mum tuned in to FM 958 then..
Even 1 whole day in ktv isnt enough.. Gee, but i arent a fan of K-ing.. Cos i arent a Singer, not even a singer wannabe, vocals so weak, can't hit high notes... I rather DANCE =p

LOOKALIKES

Time for a post on this again~
Cos i saw a Taemin lookalike last Saturday at Outram mrt station NEL aka purple line station..
Gee.. His facial features and fair skin resembles SHINee's Taemin, thats how i noticed this guy.. Cos he's not tall, with a small frame/plain thin.

Gave me an idea how maknae Taemin would look 5 years down the road.. Aha.. Cos that guy looks to be in his early 20s..
I know many noona fans are waiting for lil Taemin to grow up.. They watched him grow from 15 to 17 years old Now.. Lucky me, got a prelude, saw the 20+ year old version... LOL..
Still gd-looking, cheeks less chubby, turning more handsome than cute..

~~

It's been awhile since i last saw a celebrity lookalike outside of school..
Prev time was at the busy road near Tamp mrt station leading to TM..

I stood by e roadside, waiting for the green man traffic light, casually turned to see a 高以翔lookalike standing right beside me. Did a Double Take... OMG. Since when Taiwan时尚F4's Godfrey Gao Yixiang is in Singapore?!?
If his name dun ring a bell in your head, then nvm, he's a model-actor who has starred in Taiwanese idol drama Tao2 hua1 xiao3 mei4 (togt w Cyndi Wang, Jiro Wang, Calvin Chen, Huang Jinglun.. He's the surfer dude elder bro of Cyndi's character).

Seriously resemble him, the towering height, model build, hints of facial hair lining his chin & jawline.. Plus he was wearing a cap ---so i cant compare whether he had a similar hairstyle =x
However, does it mean he's trying to hide his face aka look less prominent in the crowd?

~~

And the last time i saw a SHINee member lookalike was last year, on a long bus ride: HE sat beside me on the bus from Tampines to Marine Parade.

That was one of the most memorable bus rides i had xD
He looked like Key.. With his Amigo hairstyle, thick eyebrows, fair skin, long eyelashes~
I noticed the eyelashes when i tried to glance sideways when he shut his eyes for a SHORT rest. Really short rest, cos i saw him open his eyes a few times (while i was lookin at him.. oh what the................................. i just glanced over to the opposite direction casually)
Maybe he got a 3rd eye, can see some stalker looking at him while he's "asleep"
Maybe cos he knows he's sitting in the most dangerous seat on the bus: Centre of last row.
so he can't rest for too long lest he falls asleep and once the bus driver slams brakes, he'll roll & tumble along the walkway down the bus..

Talking abt SHINee, it's been almost half a year since i saw them in person..
I wonder when they'll come again. I think they will come, SM Ent should've earned a lot from the previous fansigns & showcases held in Spore to know that Spore fans are damn rich..

Notice: i substituted "SM Entertainment" in place of "SHINee" now that we ALL KNOW, the majority of the $$$ ends up in SM Ent's pockets..

On the other hand, i hope to be able to see my fave member Jong hyun's lookalike somewhere in Spore.. Should've one lor, he looks quite Chinese..


Shall end this LONG POST separated into 3 sections.. Tata..
Going out again tmr! Zzz-ing 'earlier'~
