ah.. ahhhh..

choo.

have been feeling a little under the weather actually. didn't help that the office these days have been like a freezer. i feel quite pathetic.

yesterday was a bad day. i see red in the morning, i was late for work (altho the boss was later), suddenly hit by a flu bug, feeling queasy and uncomfortable at my tummy, splashed soap at myself, changed out of my bloody red jacket and pricked and cut myself with a stupid safety pin. how in the world do you cut yourself with a safety pin? or splash yourself with the viscous soap?..

well, today i still felt under the weather, and had a good mind to take a half day leave. but er, some people from the other department were a step before me. and the boss weren't happy that people are taking leave like that, and he even rejected an application for a leave for next month cos she took leave next week. well, ok, understandable, she's the head of that department, and that department has the tendency to take leave every week. to have everyone working on a day is like some families gathering for a Chinese New Year reunion dinner. that's how bad is the attendance i heard about the other department. so, in any case, i didn't take it.. cos well, i managed.

hectic day.

colleagues and i were talking about the superstar show today. i don't deny that my mouth was agape when the male champ was announced. well, of course i feel happy for him, and felt that he deserved to win. but; i thought, in sing-song wise, he's the champ, no doubt, but a superstar?

well, ya, there is stevie wonder and, who? bocelli? but i hardly think they're superstars or idols that young teenagers go gaga over. they have angelic voices (stevie wonder? er..), and that is prolly to make up for what they're lacking of..

i think the other thought he would almost definitely win. he's my colleague's good friend. so we were all digging up rumours and stuffs about him from her.

i think.. prolly the champ wouldn't have won if the judges have been so bent on putting him down. the audience and viewers can hear and see for themselves! this guy has given his best, and has known it, but, they still obviously try to bring him down. it pained me seeing him trying to smile feebly and vaguely at the judges' comments, when he thought he deserved much better than the rundowns they were giving him.

boy, i love his cover of 'Heaven Knows' by rick price. it was most touching when i saw the thought bubbles with numbers popping up above his head as he was singing his last song and desperately counting his steps, and not knowing where the cameras were or where to face.

but anyway, i think both will still land a singing contract.

same for the girls. obviously, the girl champ didn't do as well as the one who got kicked out. but she's pretty and all tho.. someone that teenagers can go gaga over. so, she's the champ.

o well.. an all rounder - someone who can prance, look pretty and work the crowds, or, a person who's really a singer..
