Does That....?

I dislike people criticising the people and things that I like when I myself criticise the things and people that other people likes...
Does that make me a sensitive person?

I dislike people I consider average beating me in something...
Does that make me a kiasu?

I dislike lending my helping hand to some people ...
Does that make me a selfish person?

I dislike people who thinks highly and boasts about themselves when I myself always do that...
Does that make me a conceited person?

I dislike people who are rude when I myself is sometimes rude too..
Does that make me a ruder person?

I always judge a book by it's cover and have prejudice against some people that cannot be changed...
Does that make me a sensitive person?

I always get annoyed with people for no reason...
Does that make me a bad person?

Now that I have found all my weaknesses...
Does that mean it's time for me to change or risk losing all those who care for me?

No More Anthony On American Idol!!

OH NO!!!My worst fear has finally come...Anthony Federov has been voted off American Idol just a not long ago...WAHHHH!! I had actually predicted his exit but when you really know that it is true..it kinda hurts more..haih...now there is no more motivation for me to watch American Idol anymore...hopefully Anthony releases an album soon coz other than that,there is no way I can hear him singing ballads again..To Anthony..Even though your idol time has ended,you are already my American Idol!You have my support no matter what!!I hope to hear more of your singing soon!! Kudos to you!!!

Mother's Day

Well..The end of my exams on Thursday..After exams,dropped Ching May,Kit Mun,Lydia to Midvalley.Yee Li was suppose to go with them but she lost her handphone and I think she took another transportation.Anywayz, went too KL with my parents to pick up my airline tickets.Spent a whole afternoon there so no time to sleep but it was worth it.Yesterday was Mother's Day,gave my mother a pendant,quite expensive..my bro's girlfriend choosed it..now..believe it or not..the pendant is only rm 45..the chain cost rm 65..haih..nvm lah...Mother's Day..then went to get another present for my godmother,some package from The Body Shop. After coming back from Midvalley yesterday, my bro transferred the PS 2 into my room..so i am currently addicted into Kingdom Hearts.Quite fun..but some levels quite hard to pass..i am still stuck in the Hero's Coloesseum..hopefully can win the whole game before school restarts.Then went for dinner last night with my uncles,aunties,godmother ,my family,bro's gf. A great meal for wine. I had 4 glasses and still remain standing..Then went back home,watched The Apprentice 3..played Kingdom Hearts for a while and then went to bed..End of Day..So..that's it..*poof*

House of Fury

It's time to go back to my normal blogging again than to put up lyrics.I have just completed my Law assignment..whopee!But the catch is there are too many words..300 more..haih..have to slowly cut again..Anywayz, I finally passed up my Marketing assignment last week..oh..the joy i felt when i passed it up.The feeling was better than what i felt at the end of mid terms. After that was suppose to watch House of Fury at 3.15..I even booked the tickets already...but thanks to someone..i missed the booking and had to settle for the 4.45 show which ended around 6.45 p.m. I missed dinner with my parents and had to eat fried rice which was not nice at all because there were so many green peas inside.haih...ok...i shall stop complaining now so that the guilty one who reads this will not feel so bad. About the movie,house of fury, quite nice..i love the kung fu parts which were nicely cheographed. Also, Anthony Wong was kinda funny in there, Daniel Wu was cute but i find that giving a pig to the person u like is not very appropriate..Stephen Fung was cool..as for the Twins,well..oklah..give them some credit here..their acting was not bad..oh yeah..i love the ring tone that Stephen Fung's sister uses when her dad calls her( i dunno whether it was Charlene or Gillian, can't differenciate). so cute..and then there was Michael Wong inside as a paralyzed baddie...coz he has a not-so-good cantonese, he spoke English almost throughout the movie..the only cantonese that did not have an accent was when he said Tai Chi Lung.Oh yeah..must also compliment the kid who acted has his son, very good kung fu skills.I am gonna ve busy now on Saturday 6.00- 10.30 because they are showing Yesterday Glitter on XingHe channel..got Damian Lau inside...first part he was quite cute when he went after Liza Wang..then it became quite sad..It's a must watch drama!Okiez...gotta go yum cha with my parents now..Nancy-out.

Heaven

This is another one of my favourite from Michael's album..


天堂 composed and sang by 光良

牽著你在天空飛翔 這樣看世界不一樣
有了你在身旁笑的臉龐 世界或許就這麼寬廣

* 忽然就忘記了慌張
人海之中你最明亮
無意間的影響 漸漸擴張
你豐富我 生活感想

Chorus

何必尋找所謂的天堂
原來我因為你 不想再去流浪
情願平凡 不擁有一切也無妨
有了你在心上 依然是天堂

Repeat #

何必尋找所謂的天堂
原來我因為你 不想再去流浪
情願平凡 不擁有一切也無妨
有了你在心上 已經是天堂

Translation:

Heaven composed and sang by Michael Wong

Holding you when soaring in the sky,
Like this, the world can be seen differently,
Having you by my side with the smile that u cast,the world is perhaps that broad

*Suddenly forgot the panic feeling,
In the crowd,you are the brightest,
Unintentional influence gradually expands,
You enrich me with feelings of my life

Chorus

Don't need to search for the so-called heaven,
Actually it's because of you, I don't feel like wandering around anymore,
I rather be ordinary, not owning anything does not matter,
With you in my heart, it's still heaven.

Repeat *

Don't need to search for the so-called heaven,
Actually it's because of you, I don't feel like wandering around anymore,
I rather be ordinary, not owing anything does not matter,
With you in my heart, it's already heaven.

Fairytale

Translation of lyrics..just for fun..hehe

童話( composed and written by 光良)

忘了有多久, 再沒聽到你對我說你最愛的故事
我想了很久, 我開始慌了 是不是我又做錯了什麼
*你哭著對我說 童話裡都是騙人的
我不可能是你的王子
也許你不會懂 從你說愛我以後 我的天空 星星都亮了

Chorus:

我願變成童話裡 你愛的那個天使
張開雙手變成翅膀守護你
你要相信 相信我們會像童話故事裡
幸福和快樂是結局

* Repeat

我要變成童話裡 你愛的那個天使
張開雙手變成翅膀守護
你你要相信 相信我們會像童話故事裡
幸福和快樂是結局

我會變成童話裡 你愛的那個天使
張開雙手變成翅膀守護你你要相信
相信我們會像童話故事裡 幸福和快樂是結局

一起寫我們的結局

Title: Fairytale(written and composed by Michael Wong)

I have forgotten how long it was, never heard you mentioning to me , your favourite story,
I thought for a long time, I start to panic, did I do something wrong?
* You cried and told me, fairy tales are lies,
There is no way that I can be your prince,
If you still don't know, after you told me that you love me, the stars in my skies all brightened up

Chorus:

I am willing to change into the angel that you love in the fairytale,
Spread my arms and change them into wings to guard you,
You must believe, believe that we will be like in the fairytale story,
Happiness and joyfulness is the ending.

*Repeat

I want to change into the angel that you love in the fairytale,
Spread my arms and change them into wings to guard you,
You must believe, believe that we will be like in the fairytale story,
Happiness and joyfulness is the ending.

I will change into the angel that you love in the fairytale,
Spread my arms and change them into wings to guard you,
You must believe, believe that we will be like in the fairytale story,
Hapiness and joyfulness is the ending.

Together, we will write our ending.

It's Been A Long Time...

My mood for blogging has finally arrived..maybe it's because i am so sick of studying already..but anyways..i feel happy. I feel that my life has been inspired by that special someone.He, without knowing he did, has motivated me to take my studies seriously.No more half playing and half studying. I must give my 100% concentration in my studies. Like he said, you must depend on yourself to get what you want. Once you have a dream, you must by all means try to get it. I have been also trying to change myself..there will be less sarcasm and critics from me coz i know i hurt ppl pretty badly..sometimes..Anyway, my principle in life now is when i study..it will be a 100% study. No more playing pool or watching drama when i study. To that special someone...thanks..you don't know who you are but i know who you are. Nancy-out

Happy New Year!!!!

Wow...time sure flies..year 2004 is finally over. This year has been full of happiness and sadness..more of sadness really especially the tsunami tragedy that took more than 100,000 lives. This new year had sure been a silent one without the fireworks and countdowns.But, it had been indeed a memorable one for me coz this is my 1st time i have been out for the 'celebration' to welcome the new year. Lydia came over to my house and we took off to Kit mun's house to wait there for Ching may and Moses to pick us up. Then we went to the Sunrise Building and met up with some Dj Ians( sorry..forgot their names..ehhe). Decided to eat at a Java restaurant there which is a CON place. Lydia and i ordered a chicken with rice to share. I asked the waitress how big was the portion and she said half the chicken's breast and there were fries. When the food came, it was the shock of our lives. The chicken was like so small for 2 people, thr rice was probably like just enough to feed one kitten, and there were no fries. Instead, there were vegetables that i never touch which are carrots, some red and greenish stuff. Due to desperate cirsumstances, i finished up the vegetables..Amazing..my mom would be so proud of me.
After that, me, Lydia, Ching May, Kit Mun and Moses went to Hartamas. Initally we wanted to go Breakers to play foosball but they were charging and entrance cum drink fee of rm 2o per person. So, we were standing on the streets feeling lost and thinking of where to hang out until 12 midnight. We finally went to a Mediterrenean cafe and ordered drinks. Then, me and Kit Mun went to buy the spray can to spray the strings for new year.4 for rm 10..oklah the price. Everyone's countdown was different so we headed out to the streets and counted down ourselves..5..4..3..2..1.. and sprayed each other with the spray can.Kit Mun got the worst spray and was decked in blue,white and pink strings. Ching May got a called from Shaun to go to Soul Out so we headed there.On the way we were sprayed with foam from super enthusiatic people but it was fun. Got to Soul Out but it was packed.No.1 song for the year 2004 is' Where is the love'..woot! But the fun thing was when me and Kit Mun was taking a pic..posing already..the got someone sprayed foam at us from the back making it as though Malaysia was snowing or something. After that, went back to Kit Mun's house to get my car and I sent Lydia home. Came back around 2 a.m and my mom was sorta pissed..ehhe...but luckily she didn't really scold me that much.Went online for a while, took a shower and went to bed. End of year 2004..BYE-BYE!

Kit Mun's Birthday!

Wow..Such a long time since I have blogged.After all the mid terms and assignments, I have time to blog again. Today, me, Kit Mun, Joo Yee and Yee Li went to Times Square to pre-celebrate Kit Mun's birthday. Joo Yee took quite long to come and fetch me from my house due to two misleading navigators in his car. We were suppose to reach Times Square at 2 but in the end reached there bout 3 something. We decided to go straight to the 6th floor where the theme park and Neway was there.There were 2 pretty high escalators to the 6th floor..Kit Mun should have taken the two spoilt escalators for it would be a good excercise for her but as usual..her laziness stopped her from doing so.Then we saw the roller coaster in the theme park,but we didn't go into the theme park for two reasons: 1) I am scared of roller coasters that has an upside down turn. 2)It's just not worth it(according to Yee Li). But I pretty much agreed with her.RM 30 is just too expensive for a few rides..even Sunway Lagoon is much cheaper. We decided to go to Neway in the end but didn't work out either coz me and Yee Li didn't bring our student ID, so no discount. So,we just decided to walk around.Came to this shop called Ed&Ed, the clothes there are damn funky.All the shirts there have pretty perverted slogans and pictures but it's quite worth the price. Continued walking around when we saw there was actually a bowling alley but we couldn't find it..Instead, I (or we) found the Malaysian Idol audition place.Felt so excited that decided to take a picture there. I wanted to go in but the entrance was locked..so dissapointing. Walk around and thought of going to Sungai Wang.Then..we saw the arcade centre so decided to go and entertain ourselves there.Played a game that I haven't touched in many years: The Basketball Game...the one where you throw the ball into the basket which can move.After that, Yee Li and Joo Yee played the hockey game..Yee Li won..tsk..tsk..surprise..surprise...Daytona was of course not to be left out..played two games of it. Yee Li soon left coz she has to be a good girl to reach home in time. Me ,Joo Yee and Kit Mun played the music game..dunno what izzit called..where u slap the buttons accoring to the arrow..Joo Yee lost!!ahha..Pai Seh!

Time to go home after that, but before going home went to Julius DQ to get some drinks..Joo Yee has so many coupons..we called the Original Juice..mango and orange..Joo Yee paid!YAY!Then wanted to go back to the car park using the same route..remember the two high escalators? It was down so we had to walk down.Joo Yee looked like an old uncle trying to walk down coz he had two cramp legs. Kit Mun was so scared that her fear attracted a guy who said
" This must be your most frightening experience." So Funny!!Then we went to the wrong basement..thanks to Kit Mun. In the car, Kit Mun ran through the pics that we took and noticed that her pic with Yee Li was like a couple pic!!HAHA!But I quite agree with her..go check out the pic..Reached home and then had to go out again for dinner..tired..tired..

If you all have probably noticed by now..I always blog every two days.haih..no choice..have so much work waiting for me to attend to.Anyway..I was late yesterday for my FLAW class..well..can't really considered to be late since the lecturer entered later than me.I was woken up by my mom at around 7.40 and my class started at 8.My alarm clock failed to perform it's duties that morning..dunno y..I was rushing and didn't even take my breakfast.Almost fell down when i was rushing to grab my keys.When I reached KPD it was already 8.15..don't ask me how I got there so fast.Obviously I did something that broke the law.Class was quite fun with the lecturer cursing Waffle World and Dockers in 1 Utama.Only me,Yee Li and Terry were in class..others went to get their scholarships.After class, headed for Ali Maju for brunch since I missed my breakfast.Waited quite long for the others..saw Joo Yee with his friends..only Kit Mun turned up..others ditched us for boyfriend and parents(You know who I am referring to)..Kit Mun ate her so called lunch which was just 'Cheesy Wedges'.Then me,Yee Li and Kit Mun went to DSA to see the election results..shocked to see Bush in the lead.To overcome my sadness,we played a game of foosball where kit mun single handedly took me and Yee Li on..We Lost..damn embarassing..Then Terry came and join us for another round of foosball..I lost again!When we were walking in the main block,Kit Mun started singing and when we reached the bus,it started to rain..haih..told her not to sing already but noo..Met Lydia at KPD when we started taking her Sony Cybershot and started taking pictures.FLAW tutorial was ok..nothing much..but during econs lecture..I learned an important lesson..Never bring Mamee to class.Why?Other people will start taking the free stickers and start sticking it at your back.Also, I found out that Joo Yee can't stand the fact that I use my student ID or lead box as my ruler.When I bought my ruler during the break,he was more happy than me.After class..walked back to the car park with Joo Yee..my walking partner!Was feeling quite sad that day coz it was 'Find the Light' last night and my fav.character died..*sob*

This morning got Econs tutorial..surprisingly, the lecturer discussed the assignment questions this time.It was a bit of help..I was feeling quite grumpy when I entered accounts class and pressure just shot up more with joo yee bugging me.Luckily there was lydia's handphone to keep me company..A word of advice..Only play the volleyball game..others are all con games since I only can win the volleyball game :P.Then went for lunch at KFC..Yee Li went for her bread as usual...didn't really loiter around this time..had to come home and collect the clothes hanging at the window..you see.. I live in a condo so we have no backyard..my mom does it the hong kong style which is hanging it at the window.After that I took a nap and now doing econs assigment...

Heavy Rain..

It has been raining heavily already for these few days.Yesterday really sucked cause there is the econs assignment too be worried about and it was raining like cats and dogs.After class went to lunch at the cafe shop where i had to wait for my order for 15 minutes.Even Yee Li's 'lo mai kai' was faster than mine and she ordered it 10 minutes later than me.I was really quite moody and hungry at that time.Then after lunch,everyone wanna go home.That even sucked more coz I really don't like driving in the rain.Then got some people *ahem* think that I wanna stay in HMC for some other reason that I am getting quite sick of to listen to.Joo Yee's theory about my England jersey being waterproof was way wrong and my RM 200 jersey was wet when I got to my car.Hmmpph...ask him to drive me to his car also he don't want to :P.On the way back I bumped into a really bad traffic jam which even got me more moody and I was really having a nasty mood at that time already..So much for a Monday..Now I know why Garfield hates Monday so much..

Today was a much better day.Yee Li went to claim back her lost tupperware and pencil box.She also claimed a spot in the cleaner's black list.After all the classes,me,Lydia and Yee Li went back to the main block by bus.We took our seat when suddenly Joo Yee came running out shouting "THERE IS AN ECONS REPLACEMENT CLASS.GET DOWN FROM THE BUS".Argghh...I didn't even know about it and I couldn't get out off the bus so just went back to main block to eat lunch at Mcdonald's with yee li and lydia.Got the new RM 5 note from the cashier!WOOHOO!after my shoprt lunch,rushed to get on the bus to attend the econ's replacement when kit mun suddenly called saying "There has been a mix up.Got no replacement class"..Ok..by then I was quite pissed already.Had to get off the bus when it was moving with yee li behind me..damn embarassing.After that,met up with joo yee and kit mun and the four of us went to play foosball.The good thing was the handles didn't smell so bad like last time.Lost the game *sob*.On the way to the carpark,me and joo yee were arguing about acting like our gender.

Me:You as a guy dunno how to play foosball or do any guys stuff.
Joo Yee: You as a girl also dunno wat..do you know how to cross stitch..no rite?
Me: I know..It's just that I dun put it into practice
Yee Li: Maybe you and Joo Yee should just change gender..

Ouch..Joo Yee was quite gentleman today and ran through the pouring rain to drive his car to pick me and kit mun up.Took me to my car and then I drove back in the heavy rain.YUCK!

3 Things That Is A Must In Your Car


Air Freshener Posted by Hello

Behold the air freshener in the picture above..Do not understimate it's size for it is indeed useful whenever your car is suddenly filled with an awful odour especially after futsal games.Bad breath especially from eating garlic,spring onions and onion also can be prevented from filling your car by just spraying this magical stuff right after you or your passenger has opened their mouths.

Isetan's Mineral Water Posted by Hello

Thirsty from all your sing-along-sessions with the radio?Whenever your throat feels uncomfortable or whenever you start coughing, just reach out to your bottle which should be conviniently placed at a place where is reachable before you spread your coughing virus all over the car,causing discomfort to other passenger or may even cause you to lose concentration in your driving.This bottle of sky juice can be obtained in any store near you.

Caltex's Free Tissue Box Posted by Hello

Get this free Caltex Tissue Box at your nearest Caltex petrol station after collecting the required amount of coupons.Tissue is everyone's neccesity ,especially girls.For example,during red lights,girls can remove their old make up with tissues and apply new ones before it hits green light.Also,bird poo can be remove from windows using tissues and also pouring some mineral water(as the picture above) on it.As everybody knows,some people might get emotional while listening to the radio dramas and start shedding tears.This will obstruct your vision but fear not,just pull out some tissues from the tissue box and start wiping your tears again for full vision again!

Two Days..

Yesterday was the worst day of my week.Indeed..Wednesday..But..IT'S OVER!Anyways..yesterday wasn't so bad..FLAW is finally getting interesting..at least my yawning has decreased.Later went lunch with Lydia,Yee Li,Kit Mun,Ching May,Joo Yee and Terry at Ali Maju.The place was damn quiet until we came.Once we started talking and laughing..it was worse than a night market..not suprising with kit mun's high pitched laughter and yee li's comments.Then went to the library to do Econ's assignment.That assignment is an absolute headache..Can't wait to get it over with.Went back to KPD in Moses's Camry..Thanks for the ride!Flaw tutor was sore that Man U won but even sorer when our lecturer provoked him.For the 1st time since this semester started..we were quiet in Econs lecture..Of course we have a reason for it;we needed to consult Dr.Lim about the assignment..After we got our answer..we started tuning up a little with me and yee li talking bout life of an old man and ghost stories.End of Wed.

Ok..For today..we hit off the day with Econ's tutorial with the blurrest lecturer.Decided to ask him bout assignment but instead of giving us useful advice..he gave us useless advice by just reading the question and saying "just draw the graph and you know what to do lah"..MY GOD!What a waste of time..I also know this lah even though you don't tell me.During accounts,me,Joo Yee and Kit Mun started talking bout kissing with poor lydia sitting in the middle and listening to our perverted conversation.Walked back to the main block with yee li and joo yee.Embarassing indeed when joo yee suddenly pointed at a guy wearing an Austin 3:16 shirt and saying "Austin".The guy was staring at joo yee as though he was picking a fight with him.Today went lunch with yee li at a nice shop..quite reasonable..After that..joo yee joined us again after getting ditched by his friends to do econ's assignment.joo yee can be really stubborn sometimes when he wants to do it his own way but another way is required.Went for help for econ's assignment from Mr.Alex..Gave us a few helpful pointers and we complained to him bout our econ's tutor.Walked to car park with joo yee and headed our on separate ways..knowing that we will meet again next monday for a whole new week.

Stupid Accounts!

Stupid bloody accounts.Forgive me for my foul words.Just trying to let out some feelings here.Accounts is definitely not one of my best subjects and here I am trying to balance the debit and credit side..but I always fail.Stupid numbers can be so uncooperative at times.Anyways..back to my daily life.Today spent my whole day doing accounts.Luckily Lydia and Yee Li was there to calm me down or not I would have thrown my book across and probably hit the lecturer on his head.Tutorial was okay..I didn't really listen that much coz I was doing my work at the back.Then lessons were over for the day!WOO HOO!Got on the bus to head back to the main block with Yee Li for lunch..HEHE...The best part was here.After Yee Li took her seat..a girl came onto the bus wearing exactly the same outfit.The shirt,jeans were the same!Looks as though they had planned to wear the same outfit together even though they didn't know each other or they are destined to be together :P.Went for lunch at KFC and ordered a burger,cheesy wedges and soft drink.Wasn't that full so went over to order coleslaw .Yee Li..there is nothing wrong to watch my weight by ordering a coleslaw.People like me can't afford to be fat or I will have to change my wardrobe.Ok..time to wash car..

Getting The Goss On Moss

SOURCE:NEW STRAIT TIMES

IF YOU WANT TO GET MR MALAYSIAN idol, Paul Raymond Moss, 41, to flash his warm Kiwi smile at you, engage him in conversations about rugby, vintage cars, Liverpool FC, vintage racing simulations (on the computer), his wife, and Siti Nurhaliza. In that order! Yes, bad news for his legions of female fans out there – the man IS "well and truly" married. And as for Siti, well, she's got a fan in him. Remember the star-struck look he sported when he found himself seated next to her during one of the spectaculars? "I didn't know she was going to be on the show," Moss attempts swift deflection. "We thought we weren't going to have anybody turning up and 30 seconds later, there she was " next to me!" Sheepishly, he asks: "Did it really show? I had never met her before so it was nice. She's really smart. We talked, joked and then I found out she's a Liverpool fan too. So she's REALLY smart!" It's nice when Moss loosens up. Gone are the wary eyes and initial reticence. This incredibly driven Network Brand director of 8TV is actually very animated when he gets going. Mr Nasty? No way. A down-to-earth, happy-go-lucky chap, Auckland-born Moss likes nothing more than just having a good laugh and catching up with the rugby. "A big thing for me every year has got to be the rugby season," he says enthusiastically. "The National Provincial Championships, the Tri-Nations, the Super 12s " just name it. I guess I'm just a Kiwi guy at heart." But if there's one thing that he's picked up from his 10-year plus stay here in Malaysia that's DEFINITELY un-Kiwi, it's his penchant for shopping malls. As he sheepishly admits: "It's not a very 'manly' thing to do nor do Kiwis subscribe to this, but I really do enjoy hanging out at shopping malls! I like wandering around and checking out new shops; basically I enjoy window-shopping. And I love bookshops." If he's not hitting the books, he's racing. Simulation racing, that is. Eyes dancing with excitement, Moss attempts to make converts of us. "It's really cool. I play vintage racing simulations on the computer. There's a whole network of people from all around the world playing and we've modelled these games so you can actually play them back in '65, '67, '55 versions of these cars." Animated, he continues: "I've got friends in Argentina, the US, UK, Germany and we work on these projects and get them up for the wider community and we race. There's a lot of expertise going on, We have guys from NASA, and even ex-British Leyland computer simulation guys working on it." Moss is also a car buff. "I love old cars," he confides. "I hope to retire one day in New Zealand and have a collection of old sports cars." And what is he driving now? "A Toyota Camry," he chuckles. "I don't exactly want to break down in the middle of the highway. And we've only got limited car space at our apartment so I guess it's not practical to have extra cars!" Before Moss could go off tangent and talk about cars for the rest of the afternoon, I swiftly turn the conversation to Malaysian Idol. It's a good move as he smiles and confides: "I'm glad the show did really well. I was actually a bit reluctant to come on board at the beginning but Izham (Ahmad Izham Omar, 8TV's Chief Operating Officer) managed to persuade me by saying that it would make the show better." Moss was worried that he would no longer be able to walk around freely without people looking at him one way or another. "Thankfully, a lot of my fears were unfounded. It's been OK. Some of the kids I SLAMMED on the show actually sought me out later and told me that they appreciated my comments. Even the kid I told off for sounding like "cat vomit'!" What's all this Simon Cowell-esque act then? "We had to be honest," he explains. "When you are in that position and you've just got a very small amount of time to actually say something that is relevant to things which had been said before so that you're not repeating yourself week after week, it's necessary. On top of your own opinion, you have to take into account what the other judges have said too." Did he understand what Roslan and Gee were saying, particularly the Malay parts? "I did, generally, and sometimes even the details," he nods, before breaking into a grin. "People would say it's obvious that I didn't understand because I'd be saying something different. And I'd tell them, even if they were speaking English, I'd say something else. I just stuck to what I thought!" Any major disagreements? "Oh, definitely," Moss chuckles. "And they were usually quite long too! I remember in KL, Roslan and I had this fist-slamming-on-the-table sort of argument for a while which, on hindsight, was completely unrelated to the actual talent on display. It was simply about how long he was taking to explain a point or something. "I was like, ëIt's just pointless talking so long, it's not going to get on TV', and he's like, ëI don't care, I just want to say it!' In retrospect, what the hell was I going on about? It was actually a production issue and none of my business really. He wants to talk " talk!" Was it tough doing Malaysian Idol? Moss shakes his head. "But I do recall having to sit through this particularly bad audition in JB. I must have been in a bad mood or something and the whole thing pissed me off. It was just one bad performance after another. There were all so horrible and I just didn't want to be there! "But then again, I've sat through some bad auditions and actually enjoyed myself! I guess that afternoon was REALLY bad " the auditions, the heat. Do you know that it's stiflingly hot in that small room that we sit in? Maybe you don't pick up on it on TV but you wonder why we look a bit worse for wear sometimes. Every five minutes and we'd be asking, ëIs the aircon on?" Thankfully, everything has worked out well, right down to the chosen Idol. Was Jac your personal favourite? An apologetic look and: "WellÖ it was actually Nikki," admits Moss. "I admired her raw talent. But at certain points I realised she wasn't going to be Malaysia's favourite. The connection wasn't quite there. "As for Jac, I always thought she was going to be classy and do a good job but I wasn't sure whether people were going to relate to her too." With Malaysia baying for Fantasia's (Barrino " American Idol winner) blood, who's your money on? "Oh, honestly? he poses incredulously, "Fantasia I'm afraid. It's not like you're comparing apples and apples. She's just special. The uniqueness of her voice, her styling. She only does one thing but she does it amazingly well. She doesn't just have the X-factor, she is a really focused artist. I believe this will be the challenge for BMG and Jac herself " to present a more focused Jac."
