singapore's got 40 golds! ole! we've hit the target! quite shiok sia this feeling, but would have been alot better if we had the football gold as well. still feeling sore about it. shesh.

tonight's the Star Awards (say what you want; you might think its silly, but i watch it for the funny acceptance speeches). i can't believe that "The Dragon Heroes" is a nominee for Best Drama. it had no plot, lousy actors and terrible special effects. just because its an international collaboration it receives recognition it definitely does not deserve. thats the whole problem with the entertainment industry in singapore sometimes. it never ever rewards the deserving, and gives credit to bullshit productions. so irritating. it devalues the bloody award. shesh.

anyway, enough of that. found this great gem of a show. "The Big House", which is on saturdays, in the afternoon. its done in a beijing-opera style, which is difficult to swallow for some, but its got a good plot, and it gives great depth to the characters. furthermore, it explores the shifting political and social changes of the late Qing dynasty. damn good show. pretty amusing to see how the whole show pans out.

frankly, whats happening on the south coast of england's a total farce. redknapp will be back at fratton park soon, and he's done the whole back-stabbing thing yet again. this time last year, he betrayed pompey to join old rivals southampton. now he's going in the opposite direction. i really feel for both sets of fans. both with useless, trigger-happy chairmen, and two-headed snakes for managers. really, i believe that the fans deserve better than what they are getting now. so its really good news that mandaric wants out of portsmouth within the next 3 years. by the way, Utd crushed pompey 3-0 last night. :D

i heard the crickets at 3:41 pm
