  • Fairy tales and hairy males.

    Wow, it’s been a long time since I last blogged. Been busy with exams and stuff. And now when I thought I was free, I get bombarded with work and stuff to do. They put me in charge of running youth this week and to top it off, my school( okay la..not school) Institute Sinaran’s EB(election board. where they set up the election for our student council for our freshmen to participate) put me and another person in charge for next year’s Leadership camp. And boy does it involve lots of work and meetings and pens and paper and discussions and food. Haha. So besides that, I’m pretty much free! For now.

     

    So what’s been happening lately? Well actually. A lot. Exams.Meetings.Youth.Movies.Futsal.Birthdays.Farewells.Heroes. And lotsa lotsa random stuff in between.

     

    Actually, I don’t really know what to blog. Guess its just blogger’s block hitting again. Hee hee.

     

    So what do I want to talk about?? Hmm?? Heroes?? Well, to be honest, Heroes is kind of a let down although now they’re getting back on track. Last time when I watched Season 1 and 2 and when each episode ended with ‘To be continued’ I get pissed and want to watch the next episode desperately, but in this season, after each episode, I don’t feel the urge to like go crazy and impatient about it. Probably I’ve gotten used to the drug(heroes) haha..but then again it doesn’t make any sense because withdrawal from drugs makes you go crazy. Haha. Anyways. At least Heroes is going back on track although I wished they killed Mohinder (whiny,horny lil Indian guy-not racist..)

     

    On another hand, I’ve just been randomly thinking about fairy tales which contains lots of flaws and questions to ponder. I’ll list them down so you can go-Gee, I’ve never looked thought of it like that before! SO here goes…

     

    Cinderella.

     

    Now, most of you know bout Cinderella and her missing glass slipper.. Now, I don’t know about you but wearing something made of glass and walking in it lest dancing in a pair does give me the impression that it might just crack and break. Not only that, it must be dreadfully heavy to lift a pair if glass slippers..Either Cinderella has muscular legs or she was just dragging along with the slippers..(heck, she did the moonwalk way earlier than Micheal Jackson)

    And you know the part when she left her one of her slippers for the prince to find out and tries to find her throughout the country by making every girl trying it? Well, I don’t know but I have a feeling that Cinderella must have gigantic feet or super the small tiny miniscule ultra microscopic feet. Because since she’s the only girl that can fit into that slipper, I guess that explains her shoe size. Either she goes for like size 20 or size 1. No way on earth that no one can actually NOT fit in the glass slipper. I mean, the prince toured around the country and there is not a single girl who can fit?? Either than that or the Prince’s country just consists of 2 families with their property. The palace and Cinderella’s home. Haha.

     

    Snow white.

     

    Now, when they describe Snow White, they said that her hair was as black as coal, lips red as don’t know what but when they described her skin and appearance the narrator said she was as white as snow. I don’t know about you guys but when I see someone whose skin is as white as snow, I think I’ll probably run away thinking I’ve seen a ghost. And what the..she was beautiful?? Well, they didn’t have glasses back then so I guess they were too blind to see she was a walking ghost. Another part is the fact when she stayed with the dwarfs. Now dwarfs are short. And Snow White is taller than them. And I guess when the dwarves built the house they made it to suit their height. Everything should be short and made just for them. Hah. So, how can Snow White fit in the house for a few months and stuff?? I think she had a bad back ache by then. Then she isn’t the fairest of them all!!! (In my opinion, the fairest of them all should be the judge. Because he has to be the fairest guy in making decisions..) LOL

     

    Rapunzel

     

    “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair” pfft.. So far with the latest technology with Pantene Pro V or Sunsilk or whatever proclaiming that their product gives you strong hair that lasts quite some time(it doesn’t really work..marketing ploy) I wonder how Rapunzel keeps her hair so strong or how does she keep her head so strong?? Her head can support a Prince’s weight?? That’s incredible. Seriously. And another thing. Since she’s stuck up there for like..ever. How does she dispose of her er..crap? Two possibilities..the witch takes them or she just throws them outside her window. That explains the thorns growing nicely below which made the Prince blind and all. By the way, I think her hair will like stink and smell after not having a proper rinse since she lives in an old tower. Oh, Rapunzel must’ve been a blonde. If I had such long hair and I can pull a guy up, why cant I support myself and climb my way down? I could tie my hair to some thingy in the tower and just use my hair as a rope to climb down and then cut it off. Idiot. Haha.

     

    Sleeping Beauty

     

    This is one weird story. Yet a nice story for lazy bums like me. You are made to sleep for a thousand years (or is a hundred) and when its over u get woken up by a kiss by a prince..or in a guy’s case, a princess. Haha. All that for a long sleep. Who wouldn’t want that?? Anyway, I don’t know whether the prince has broken his nose or lost his sense of smell but kissing someone after a long time without showering or eating or brushing your teeth does give out a rather nasty smell. Oh yea, after sleeping for so long I bet the princess must be really really hairy. So is all her minions in the castle. They might pass of as bums in the streets! Anyway, I think the prince is weird. The only beautiful thing about sleeping is that the sleeping beauty didn’t burp. If not that prince will be knocked out and be under the power of the holy breath. Haha.

     

    Rumpelstiltskin

     

    This is another strange story, I mean who would name their child Rumpelstiltskin and made that lil guy pissed till he wants a baby from the princess?? Talk about low self esteem. Sheesh. Parents and their choice of names. The funny thing is, there is a theme song for Rumpelstiltskin which he can sing when he meets the princess. The song ‘That’s not my name’ by the Ting Tings fits the bill. Just imagine him singing it to the princess. Haha. Here’s themusic video if you guys haven’t heard of the song yet. Well there’s nothing bad about this tale but the song is too good to not write it down so hee hee, just put lah.



     



    Goldilocks and the three bears

     

    Needs no introduction. Why on earth will bears eat porridge?? What’s more, sleep in a bed and lives like a human being. And these animals talk!! Now, there are 3 things I would do if I were Goldilocks.

    1)      Run Away because some animal talked to me

    2)      Slap myself and rub my eyes and return the conversation talking to the animal in slow motion..like ME GOLDILOCKS..U BEAR…

    3)      Capture the animal, hold a show and tell everyone (through Facebook or my blog) that there is a talking animal..and go on Oprah in the process..(think of the cash I can make)

     

    Hansel and Gretel.

     

    I guess they’re no ants in this land as a house built with sweets and sugar and candy are bound to attract sweet sugar loving insects a.k.a ants. But I guess the witch might have figured that out and maybe put a spell on the house to ward off the ants. Oh yeah, if the witch had an oven in her house, and turned it up so high that it’s so hot, the candy should have melted and the kids would have escaped. And the house will be one sticky paste which can be turned in to butterscotch.. mmm..butterscotch.

     

    Well, there are a lot of other fairy tales that is kinda messed up so I’m kinda lazy to list them all down, Haha. If u have others, do feel free to comment and we can petition against these authors..(though they’re dead) to tell the truth and nothing but the truth! (I know I’m talking crap but since I talked crap at the beginning might as well continue right?) Oh yea. I’m kinda thinking of moving over to blogspot you know. Xanga is just too lagging and takes so long to load. And it hardly gives you full control on your blog. So tell me what you think about it and I MIGHT stick around in Xanga. Muahahahaha.

     

     

    This is such a random post.

    SUMMERGIRLS-LFO

    Yeah...I like it when the girls stop by.. In the summer
    Do you remember, Do you remember?
    ...when we met..That summer??

    [Chorus:]
    New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
    Chinese food makes me sick.
    And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
    I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
    I'd take her if I had one wish,
    But she's been gone since that summer..
    Since that summer

    [Verse 1:]
    Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
    Met you one summer and it all began
    You're the best girl that I ever did see,
    The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
    When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
    Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
    Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
    Something in your eyes went and drove me crazy
    Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad,
    Left one day and never came back
    Stayed all summer then went back home,
    Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
    Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speaking
    Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
    When I met you I said my name was Rich
    You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

    [Chorus:]
    New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
    Chinese food makes me sick.
    And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
    I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
    I'd take her if I had one wish,
    But she's been gone since that summer..
    Since that summer

    [Verse 2:]
    Cherry Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie
    Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,
    Always been hip to the B-boY Style
    Known to act wild and make girls smile,
    Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
    Remind me of you because you rock my world
    You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
    They drink lemonade and speak real slow
    You love hip hop and rock n roll
    Dad took off when you were 4 years old
    There was a good man named Paul Revere
    I feel much better baby when you're near
    You love fun dip and cherry Coke,
    I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
    When I met you I said my name was Rich
    You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

    [Repeat Chorus]

    [Bridge:]
    In the summertime girls got it going on,
    Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
    Summertime girls are the kind I like,
    I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

    [Verse 3]
    Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
    My mind takes me back there oh so quick
    Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Limpet
    Think about that summer and I bug,cause I miss it
    Like the color purple,macaroni and cheese,
    Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
    Call you up but whats the use
    I like Kevin Bacon,but I hate Footloose
    Came in the door I said it before,I think I'm over you
    but I'm really not sure
    When I met you I said my name was Rich
    You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

    [Repeat Chorus]

    [Bridge:]
    In the summer girls come and summer girls go
    Some are worth while and some are so so,
    Summer girls come and summer girls go
    Some are worth while and some are so so,
    Summertime girls got it going on
    Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
    Summertime girls are the kind I like
    I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

    [Repeat Chorus]

  • Olympic Madness!!!

      Well, the Olympics was one of the highlights this year, but despite all the coolness of Usain Blot and Micheal Phelps and perhaps Lee Chong Wei for our own country's sole medal, the best moment for me in the olympics was not even the Opening ceremony!! The best moment or the highlight of the games was in fact due to 2 controversies which happened in the Games. No,no..I'm not talking about the lip-synching girl thingy or the supposedly pre recorded fireworks, No..I''m talking about 2 men who decided to take things into their own hands to stand up for what they believe in. Call them unsportsmanlike or whatever but whoever has the guts to these kind of things on a respected and a prestigious competition deserves to be called the true Olympian.

    Case 1-Cuban taekwondo dude kicks referee to protest his decision to give the match to his opponent.


    Now, from what I read, this dude..(Angel Matos) was disqualified in the bronze medal match because he took to long to nurse his injuries..(the time limit is 1 minute)..he was leading 3-2 with around a minute to go and then just lost the match just because of some stupid rule..haha...I mean, you trained for 4 long years, made it to the bronze medal playoff,leading the game, and then get disqualified over some time issue. Well, I'll be pissed and since I aint getting no medal, I might as well end my career by being famous(by kicking the referee)..with this...I respect this dude..Muahaha.. (oh..and this guy got a lifetime ban due to this incident)..



    Case 2-Swedish wrestler throws away his bronze medal to protest judges decision on the match he had earlier on..

    Now..this dude is even better..it's the semi final match against Ara Abrahamian of Sweden against Italian Andrea Minguzzi . Due to some bad referee calls, the Swedish guy lost the match and this guy went ballistic!! he began to barge near the judges because he deserved a penalty(he really deserved it)..the Italian went on to win the Gold..so when the bronze medal match was on, he just got the match over with it by pinning down his opponent. Now,here comes the fun part. During the medal ceremony, when he was awarded the bronze medal, he took it, shook hands with the official,other medallists and then...he walked down the mat,threw his medal,waved to the crowd, and left the arena.. Haha.. obviously he wasnt happy and when he was interviewed he said "This isn't the medal I came for"...talk about kicking ass with words..haha...and look!! This news article shows that he was right to throw away his medal!!


    Court: Wrestler who dropped medal was right

    BEIJING (AP)—It turns out that the Greco-Roman wrestler who was stripped of his bronze medal for dropping it in disgust on the mat had reason for being angry, according to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

    Ara Abrahamian of Sweden complained to CAS that a penalty in the second round of his 84-kilogram bout on Aug. 14 against Italian Andrea Minguzzi wasn’t assessed until after the round ended. Once factored in, Abrahamian automatically lost the match. Minguzzi went on to win the gold medal.

    Abrahamian’s coach was then denied a request for a video review, then the wrestling federation—the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles, or FILA—refused to consider a protest.

    The 28-year-old Abrahamian had to be restrained from going after matside officials following his loss to Minguzzi. He stormed away from the area where interviews are conducted and slammed a door to the dressing rooms.

    After he was given his bronze during the medals ceremony, Abrahamian walked off the podium, went over to mat and dropped it in disgust and walked away. On Aug. 15, the International Olympic Committee disqualified Abrahamian and stripped his medal for violating the spirit of fair play during the medal ceremony.

    The Armenian-born Abrahamian—who also lost a 2004 Olympic semifinal match on a disputed call—initially wanted judges in the bout tossed out and his medal restored. But in the end, he only wanted CAS to verify that the lack of an immediate appeals process is a loophole that needs to be fixed. It also was referred to as a violation of “the Olympic Charter and FILA’s own rules about fair play.”

    Judges said Abrahamian was right.

    “We limit ourselves to ruling that FILA must, consistently with the (Olympic) Charter and general principles of fairness, establish for the future a jury of appeal to determine the validity or otherwise of complaints of the kind ventilated by (Abrahamian),” the judges wrote.

    Elsewhere in the 20-page ruling, judges noted several times that FILA did not appear at a hearing.





    Well, this is what I call true Olympic Spirit...haha!
