Kelly Clarkson webcast!! Premiere of Mr. Know It All!! Check it out!!

Ok!! I was supposed to wake up at 5 this morning to watch Kelly's webcast but I overslept and woke up at 9!!! Thank God someone capped the interview!! Anyway Kelly's webcast lasted like 30 minutes only because there was some Internet issue!! She's so cute in the webcast and she was rambling non-stop!!Can't stop watching it!! She all but confirmed that my fav. song "What Doesn't Kill You" is on the album and her duet partner is Kara Dioguardi! She should do these webcasts more often!! So cute!! 
PS: I've separated the video into 2 parts....

Mmmm.... Sushi! Perfect Lunch For A Quiet Day....

Love this sushi!! Hokano roll will now be one of favs!!

This has been like the quietest day at work ever!! I cannot believe it!! The phone hasn't rung once and I don't have a single thing to do!! None of the management is in and I enjoyed a leisurely sushi lunch with my colleagues. The sushi was absolutely scrumptious! It's seaweed and rice wrapped in prawn tempura, crab sticks, unagi, avocado and tobiko on top!! It's so good, I tried my best to finish the damned thing!! I almost succeeded in this worthy quest but alas, I only managed to finish 6 complete pieces while the remaining 2, I only ate the filling. I'm so full now, it's a good thing I don't have much to do at work cuz I'm feeling awfully sleepy now.... *Yawn* Can't wait for work to end....













Watching "Lives of Omission: Laughing Gor" now and I have to say, the show is rather mediocre. Maybe it's because besides Michael Tse's Laughing Gor, the rest of the cast is just not that outstanding. Especially Fala Chen!! She just doesn't convince me as a cop and her chemistry with Michael is at best questionable. Bosco Wong and Kate Tsui's portrayals are alright, nothing spectacular. Of course, Damian Lau is always dependable as a character actor but this series is just adequate. There's nothing groundbreaking about the plot or the acting. *Sigh* Is it so difficult to find and interesting show with good acting and a decent plot? Maybe it's too much to expect from TVB....

The Beginning of a Long Holiday...... YAY!!

I'm beyond ecstatic that I'm gonna have a 6 days holiday (including Sunday)!! It's like the longest holiday I have since I started work!! A big YAY for me since I feel so lazy lately!! I'm going to take the opportunity to relax, watch some movies/TV shows and NOT shop!! I've been telling myself that I'm not going to indulge in any retail therapy for at least another 2 months!! Lord give me the strength to get through this!!
Anyway, I just re-watched "The Devil Wears Prada" and I just love Meryl Streep!! She's so deliciously cruel in the movie and Emily Blunt is fantastically bitchty! I mean I first watched this movie a few years ago and I remembered being very impressed with Emily Blunt. I mean Meryl Streep has always been an Acting Goddess to me but this is the first time I watched Emily Blunt act and she's brilliant! As for Anne Hathaway, I was never that impressed with her.... She's always benn kinda meh to me...


















I've been listening to Kelly Clarkson's "Mr. Know It All" on repeat and I have to admit, the song is growing on me.... I like it but I don't love it.... Frankly, my first reaction when I heard the song was "What the fuck!! I waited for so fucking long for this single and this is what I get??" Then I realised I should not be so judgemental, afterall I've always supported Kelly and I've come too far not to continue supporting her. At least she sounds great in it and though this may not be my first choice for her re-introduction to the public, it's still better than most of the songs on radio today. One final gripe about this whole situation is what the hell is with the artwork for the song!! It's so blah and the greenish tint is so unbecoming!! Kelly looks rather pretty in the original picture but the added effects makes her looks washed out!! I hope the album cover is gonna be more awesome and breathtaking than this!!

OMG!! Check it out!! Kelly Clarkson's "Mr. Know It All" has leaked!!!

I woke up this morning and received the craziest news ever!! Kelly Clarkson's  "Mr. Know It All" has leaked. I scrambled to listen to the song!! As big a fan as I am, I couldn't wait to listen to the song. After listening to it, I have to say I'm not that impressed.... It's a nice song but to me nice is not a compliment.... Nice is a word I use when I don't like something but I don't really like it... Anyway, I hope this is a build up single and I will grow to love it after a few dozen listens. I'm looking forward to the music video though. Fingers crossed it will be brilliant!!

Kelly Clarkson's New Interview "Soundtrack of My Life"

I just read Kelly Clarkson's new interview "Soundtrack of my life" with EW magazine!! Kelly Clarkson revealed some interesting tidbits in the interview... Honestly, I was hoping RCA will be doing a little more promotion for Kelly's new single... Afterall, the management has changed and I'm hoping that they will support and promote Kelly the way she deserves to be promoted. I believe that this album is the beginning of a new era for her. Fingers crossed this new album will be more successful than her last!!

Kelly Clarkson "Mr. Know It All" lyrics!!


Oh My God!! I just read Kelly Clarkson's "Mr. Know It All" lyrics!! I love the lyrics and I'm sure it will be a brilliant song!! According to some industry insiders, the song has a mellower feel to it.... Kinda sounds like "Just Missed The Train" according to some DJ. I have a very good feeling about the song cuz I love "Just Missed The Train" and the lyrics sounds interesting. I love the fact that the song is not riddled with the words "Mr. Know It All". It just appears twice. But I have to say, I'm so anxious to hear the song I'm actually jittery with excitement! So here are the lyrics and some of the reviews I saw about the song!! It can be found here and here!! I honestly cannot wait to hear the song!! Why can't 30 August arrive any sooner!!

My First Time...














Yesterday night was my first time...I actually fell asleep around 9.30pm!! I cannot remember the last I fell asleep this early (that is when I'm not feeling sick)!! I actually woke only when my alarm rang!! So I slept for like a solid 8 hours instead of my usual 6!! Everyday I wake up between 5.30 pm to 6 pm (except weekends!!). For once I actually feel refreshed without my coffee!! Thank God for the 8 hours of sleep cuz I actually feel energised instead of my zombie self before coffee!! Ever since I started working, I started missing my university days where I can basically sleep when I want to sleep and I don't need to worry about being late (except for exam days). Now, every weekday I need to plan what time I sleep so I can wake up for work...*Sigh* Is this what working is all about? You wake up, trudge through horrendous traffic to get to work, work like a robot, leave work, trudge though another round of horrendous traffic to get back home/wherever, enjoy like 4 hours of bliss before I have to get to bed.... I enjoy my work but I don't think I want to stay there too long... maybe 2-3 years at most... gain the experience and find something I'm passionate about.... The thing is I still have no idea what industry I want to work in.. I'm currently adrift in the Seas of Confusion. I just hope I don't drown in it and one day I'll be able to find my way to the Shores of Clarity....
