An obnoxious, self-centered view on what-a-bitch life can be.....

2.20.2004

Yippee... it Friday, which happens to be my favourite day of the week, in fact my "real" week starts on Friday and ends on Sunday.. Mondays to Thursdays are just "fillers".

Mabel has kindly offered to cook me dinner tonight, but i have to help her carry the groceries from Barkley square .. its times like this that i wish i had my car back. I think Shepherd's pie is on the menu.. *yum*

I felt alot better last night after telling Gremz abt the "skid mark" incident... been bugging me like an Aussie fly in summer.... could never get that picture outta my head! Wanted to post the pic but Gwen said it would be "MEAN". Oh well..too bad for Lidz.

Survivor All-stars was on again last night.. AWESOME!!!! It was kind sad at the end, Jenna (hubba hubba) left the game because she felt that her mum needed her. Her mum was in a Cancer rehab centre and was not recovering well. She was already dealing with this issue in Survivor amazon so i dun know why she would come back . She said she made a mistake coming on the show again and felt that family was more important. Now, when you see this episode you'd think that she was using this as an excuse to pull out, cos it was really getting tough out there, i mean she was talking as if she was getting fed some kinda information from the "outside". Jenna's defense was that it was her MUM and she was the only child, she shared a very special bond with her mum, and that she could feel something was wrong.

Well, she left the island immediately, and as it turned out, 8 days later her MUM lost the fight against cancer, and died in a hospital bed with Jenna by her side. I have to admit i got a wee- bit emo at that point, I was glad she followed her heart and made a decision to leave when she did. Family IS the most important thing in our lives, the sad thing is, most of us only realise it in the later part of our life. If i spent more time listening to my parent in my youth instead of trying to prove my independence... i may have become a better person.

Is there such a thing as a special bond between mother and child, brother and sister? One that defies all logic, has a reach farther than any modern piece of equipment, and more importantly, stand the test of time? I think there have been times in our lives where we don't "feel" right about a certain situation... some say its sixth sense, some say the Holy Spirit that lives in us... what ever the case, we should all start listening to the little voice that screams out every-so-often, could be something important....don;t ya think?

Once again I'm super sleepy, could be the tennis (we kicked arse!), or the late night (blame Howard and his Bloody midnight flight), or the scrumptious meal i had last night; Bak Kut Teh with salted veges... mmmm.. its been so long since i had a home cooked meal like that before (my own cooking doesnt count).

I'm pretty disappointed with last night's Survivor.. Rudy got voted off.. BASTARDS!! i must say, i hope i can be as active as he is at his age. Last night was pretty quiet, double episodes of CSI... and the SImple Life, which i couldn't watch cos i was at Mabel's place. Mabels's a nice gal... i like Mabel... and NO.. not in that way.

I've been looking on the web for ideas... need a new phone and i can get a new plan as of the 15 March.. werhoo!! I really like the Nokia 7200.. not released yet... dunno when that will be. My sarawakian friend keeps bugging me to get the Samsung, i think, but i've owned 4 different Samsung phones and I wasn't impressed, the batt life is short and the functioins arent that user friendly... and they dun have the ultra cool "snake" game, synonymous with Nokia handsets :)

Decisions decisions... I got kicked off E-bay, would you believe it, they actually locked me out, for reasons i don;t quite comprehend. Apparently they need more details for security purposes, and until then they have banned me.. FOREVER, though they did refund my posting fee... but STILL.. who the hell gets barred from e-bay... i mean my name's not Mohammed Islam Jihad or anything, and i'm just trying to sell a couple of watches....I'm still contemplating whether or not I should comply... or just screw the whole E-bay thing...

My body aches, i need to sleep.. i miss my bed... but i sense a long day ahead. *yikes*

2.17.2004

*yawn* I am feeling super sleepy now, cramming 6 hrs of high intensity programming is NOT a good idea.. last night i experienced a sensory overload, from 7 pm to 12:45 am, I was so exhausted, I just collapsed on my bed and watched some light hearted TV :) .... God Bless Guthy Renker!

7:00pm Frasier
7:30pm Friends
8:00pm Newlyweds
8:30pm Queer Eye for the straight guy
9:30pm Sex and the City
11:00pm Punk'd (TAPED)
11:20pm Las Vegas (TAPED)
12:00pm 24 (TAPED)
1:30am Guthy Renker crap (sellavision)

Now, where should i start... Joey and Rach broke up cos they couldn't have sex, Jessica Simpson is a spoilt, dumb-ass blonde, Carson ROCKS, Usher got PUNK'D, Las Vegas is way too COOL (my new fav show) and 24 is OKAY so far, first episode so I'm not expecting much.

Oh Oh oH, i have to say this ... BITCH, usually my conversations with my folks don;t last more than 15 minutes, and they are always on Monday nights @ 11pm standard Eastern daylight savings time (i think thats right) But last night they conveniently called just before SATC started, and took turns to nag and tell me how much they love me for a whole 30 mins..... GGGrrrrrrrrr. I got the general gist of things, but couldn't appreciate the witty lines and rude humour.....due to obvious reasons.

I didn't realise how much i missed it til last night.

Carrie met a new guy, Jack, pretty cute, i think... but what do i know, I'm only a barrister's toyboy. They seem to "click" in every department, they are sooo good in restaurants (in her own words), they can talk abt anything and even the kissing is good. But ... you guessed it.. the sex was horrible. Even the second time round was horrible, and Carrie was about to give up hope til she went to Samantha for advice. BAD IDEA. When asked by Carrie whether she should "talk" abt it with Jack, in Sam's words "Don;t say it, SPRAY it" and my personal fav, "the only words you should say in bed are DIRTY ones".

Samantha's still pretty much doing what she does best, screwing anything and everything. Currently screwing this waiter guy called Jerry .. i think.

Miranda's got feelings for Steve again but this time he's moved on and is going out with someone else. She's heartbroken and has developed a relationship with TIVO... some kind of high tech VCR/TV system... I need one of those.... her life has revolved around erotic soapies, and her baby of course. All hell breaks loose when TIVO breaks down and the repair man can only come in a week from Thursday.

Charlotte (my fav), madly in love with Harry (the bald Jew), the lucky SOB, and she decided to convert to Judaism, so they can get married. She's still looking as cute as ever. Did i mention i LOVE Charlotte.. *sighz* ANyway, shes getting the cold shoulder treatment from the Rabbi and shes feeling dejected.

ANd did i mention Carrie bumped into Aidan *gasp*... (i know!) and he was carrying a baby, his baby, he married this other lady and have a cute little baby boy... I'm not sure what impact he will have on the show but it will be interisting to see. In the end, Carrie has great sex (3rd time lucky), Sam keeps having great sex, Steve fixes TIVO and the Rabbi warms up to Charlotte. All's well that ends well.

Well peeps, thats it, but stay tuned, next week will be a RIPPER, Mr. BIG is coming back .... WERHOO!

Hi peeps,

Well... I feel kinda weird, my virgin post... but it looks like this is a necessity, this seems like the best medium to share my thoughts and ... blah blah, ya know :)

Besides my daily bitching... i will be posting a weekly column/update on the going-ons of Sex n the City (final season), as some of us don;t have the privilege of watching... and even if they did, it would be shown without any kissing, swearing or adult themes in general.. which basically defies the point of watching altogether.

And if that all goes well, i may expand my review/summaries to some other much moved programs such as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Survivor All Stars, Friends (also last season), American idol, Average Joe, Las Vegas, 24, Newlyweds, My big fat obnoxious fiance.. and the list goes on... My name is LEMUEL, and YES, I'm a reality tv addict!

And, I'm real sorry lid, its really not practical for me to tape EVERYTHING for the next 4 months... you'll just have to trust my interpretation... though some have said i don;t pay attention to detail... i beg to differ :)

I have just spent the last 2 hrs searching for cheap domestic flights, there are none, and i can;t find that website anymore... its looks like its gonna be one of those urban legend thingies.. like the lookout in St Kilda, like lid coming back to Melbourne.. etc etc For the time being i give up.. its all too tiring.. sitting here, getting paid to surf the web. Ppl have no idea how tough it is to work in australia... we have to constantly invent new ways to look busy!

Time to pack up, get ready for my TV marathon tonite, I'm all booked out from 7:30 to 11:30, and i still have to tape 1.5 hrs worth of shows... meaning I'll only get to bed at 1am... see what I have to go thru. *whine*
