Good day all. It is now the 21st of January. Approximately 6 weeks since our en-masse dissapearance. Yes, you would have caught glimpses of us out at town, at the clubs or even at your pasar (malam) depending on your geographical location. The answer is purely simple if you were still pondering as to this sudden but drastic act of fade to black. I just couldn't be bothered.
Our frenzied coverage of the Miss Vasantham saga; the word "saga" is used as opposed to "show" as that's exactly what it looked like; earned us many a click. Some age old vengeance of an aging production team on how best to inflict emotional and visual trauma on its loyal, "too broke to order Vijay TV" patrons.
And during this riotous period, there were many shout outs for us to go "fuck ourselves" [still haven't done that yet], "get a life" [apparently the MDA doesn't allow corpses to blog either, they're in the same category as communists] and to "go get a job if you have too much time" [finally an achievable goal]. So, we got off our nice cushy OSIM armchairs, although with that pelvic massage function, multiple orgasms are once again no more a myth, and got a paying job. That we got paid "peanuts" is not the issue here. We don't expect getting a job to be anything more than chope-ing prime seats at the Long Bar at the Raffles, sipping on our Singapore Slings and drumming Surangani when we are in the mood to. Getting paid for that is quite rewarding, peanuts or not.Thanks for the suggestion.
On a tangent, have you got Vijay TV yet? When you do, be prepared to be refreshed by solid programming, non-boring mega serials and a slew of other varied and interesting programs like Hutch's Kalakka Povathu Champions 2. This is a prime example of how comedy should be attempted in Tamil. Notwithstanding the tried and tested mimicry of MGR / Sivaji Ganesan / Rajini / Vijaykanth, the comedians featured come up with KLKomedic concepts to blow your mind week in week out.
I tend to get distracted when heaving praise on something. Forgive me. I tend to be a more focussed raving lunatic under the influence of a crate of Changs [though Singha seems a tad more economical].
So, I'm back. I don't know about the rest. From what I know one is an aspiring Naatiya Mayuri 2007, another has shifted houses soo many times he got his PR status revoked, one's in the midst of a hair lice discussion and yet another flew off to combat the forest fires in Antarctica. Tundras are forests too. In a way.
Perhaps the greatest factor that made me swing back into actually opening my browser had to be the utter lack of pertinent information in the Singaporean blogosphere. I found it a tad perturbing that while many had millions of opinions to voice regarding Sun TV mega serials and the just ended Jodi Number 1 season, no one really gave much thought about enlightening non viewers on the happenings on local channels.
Granted most of us watch Adimai and remark "So ... you mean to tell me ... that girl chased up some heroin ... cos ... that's the only way she could get to see her dead father? ". You'd also tune in religiously to the Saturday night movie on the off chance no one decides to ask you out since the last time they did so, they ended up with three quarters of your dinner flooding their Doc Martens after just your 3rd tequila shot. And there's the new reality, come show me what you got, mega prized competition called Dhool.
There's been soo much talk about this and even we had a slight itch to post up inside-sourced info from time to time since the inception of said TV event. But, if you were a zero-time viewer, just by trawling the internet you would have close to no idea what the 1 1/2 hour programme was actually about. You might walk away thinking it was some kinda fashion show or worse still just a platform for the audience to see how long they can milk the various cameramans' attention. Some of the fine examples I managed to dredge up :
Bored yet? The first Dhool draft that was supposed to get published is still sleeping in the drafts, it was penned on 27th November 2006. Since then 5 quarterfinals have come and gone. I believe we'll be watching the last one later tonight to set the stage for the semis.
Without further ado, I'll give you my take on the past 3 quarters that I actually watched. It may be ancient history but compared to anything quoted further up this post, I think my picture is clearer. HD capable.
KLKillahs have also embarked on a "No Gloom - Buy Blooms" intiative. Click on below graphic to send you on your way to your first date since you turned 26. We can't help you get laid on Valentine's but what we CAN do is help you tell her you've been wanting to since the day you switched to "Anonymous" and bookmarked her Friendster profile. But seriously, FREE delivery, DIRT CHEAP pricing and KLKuality chop-seal-guaranteed.

Guess the Dhool 2006/7 is coming on well, i think finally we hve some good judges who are suitable for da show... which is a dance show... N their judgement has been sensible ..Critical to some... but den again champions arent those who respond to sheer praises but those who respond n react to their harshest critics... Its something i personally hve learnt during da course of time ... One thing dat really irritates the shit outta me .. is when some punk shouts at the top of his/her voice n gives everyone a heartattack... I noe its all in da name of supporting ur fav group wadsoever.. For stupid small reason ..u hear an irritating loud shrill ..Even when one of the group members raise his/her leg ... someone shouts... n if theres someone in da group whos hot as a group of pple would refer to.. u can imagine ... So pls shut the fuck up n support ur fav groups in a more civilised manner ... One thing i would like to say is dat whether those performing hve been good or bad.. u got to respect them for the effort they hve put in n hving the guts to perfom in front of so many pple .. Cheers..
It was a rather packed day for me. Went to the temple early in the morning with the whole family, then went over to Aunt Saroja's house and then off to Dhool 2006 last 2 Qtrs. It was fantabulous!!! Stepz was superbly WOW and so was NUS. They were rather unique. It is NUS! Waddaya expect right?
Diversity was good too! They were so sexy. They are the true epitome of girl power! woo hoo! For the 2nd half of the quarters we were actually supporting Xtrinesha, Kamini's brother Shawn. They did pretty well and the song was damn nice. It was not fair for groups who have dance on television before as they already have fame, and also, it would not be fair to the other. The judges might tend to be biased towards the teams who have already appeared on tv. cos if they dont get chosen, it might be an embarrassing thing for them right?? Oh well, when has life ever been fair. But i really dont think anarchy 99 deserved it. Not because im being biased towards xtrinesha. I felt like moving along with them when i watched their dance whereas for anarchy 99, it was kinda boring for me.
Also went for Dhool... kind of hid my face when the camera took my direction!!! haha... we were all pink... supporting SPX... THE BEST IS ALWAYS THE BEST; AND SPX IS THE BEST... they ARE the best and Definetly WILL be the WINNER... They are second to none... well then comes the rest...
Watched Dhool 2! YEAH! MOA got in the semi-finals round! Sadly, Agni-Reloaded was not in... The guys in the dance group, are cute and quite good-looking! sigh! TP generix got in! Congrats to Sara... Saw you dancing!
