EidulAdha Greetings to All

I spent my whole day at home and most of the time in the same state that I am in right now, staring into my lap top. The family didnt go out and the only time i left the house was to go for friday prayers in the afternoon. Please dont get me wrong. I wasnt busy at work either. I did attempt to do a bit of revision and finish up my tutorial assignments, and technically speaking, i really did spend the entire time doing that, only that there were the "occasional" interruptions of msn and phone conversations, checking of emails and "stuff I had to do". I remembered once when I was interviewed by a particular tabloid magazine and i was asked to describe myself in one word. Some how, then, i though that word was Discipline. I think this would be an appropriate time for someone to say "Why you lying!!?"

I am sure that everyone must have watched American Idol Season 4. I personally think that Simon Fuller(the creator) and the people who formulated such a phenomenon is really brilliant. Judging from the amount of people who came for the auditions and the response from each state, I seriously dont think that its popularity will ever wear off. I was however quite disturbed by some of the decisions made by the judges. Examples of these would be, not putting through to the next wround one of the triplets, the obnoxious Joe and the "affected" student of a singing teacher. I know i might not be the best person to be questioning the judges' decisions based on my limited musical knowledge, but i think even William Hung himself could tell that all these three contestants had really good voices with decent looks. Isnt this enough to put these people through to the next round and make the improvements required? Curvatious Triplet could lose weight, obnoxious Joe could be less irritating and stop talking so much and what in the world does affected mean? If it means he or she was putting up an act while performing, then my reply would be Fantasia was affected but yet she went all the way to be the American Idol. It would be worrying if the judges were not being objective in the judging criteria and decisions which might render injustice to all the contestants. I know its the Amercan Idol, and it surely dosnt have anything to do with me, but maybe it was time that the judges chose The American Idol, not Randy, Paula or Simon's Idol.

Its is Hari Raya Haji and i would like to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya and to my non muslim friends, Happy Long Weekend!!! I wold like to take this opportunity to seek forgiveness from all my friends, fellow bloggers and readers in the event that i might have offended anyone with my constant ramblings on this blog or on my tag box...
