pelf-ism is contagious

I have totally forgotten about the five questions I’ve got from Laksa until I read about other bloggers’ five questions. In fact, I had already written it but it never had the chance to see daylight because I accidentally erased my whole WordPress database.. *smacks forehead*

Anyway, here goes..

1. What qualities in a man turns you on?

Err.. You really want to know this? I mean, you’d be better off getting a copy of CLEO - the magazines are more informative *winks* Anyway, since I requested for it..

I like men who are honest, truthful, faithful and sensitive towards me (this IS about me, right?!). I especially like men who smiles MINUS the bad breath, laughs and is good at communicating, which is basically keeping a conversation going on instead of ending sentences with “You need to study wan meh?” or “Do you know what this is or not?” or “You really think she’s knowledgeable meh?”, you get the flow..

I like men who speaks highly of their parents (and I do NOT mean boasting here) and teachers. It just shows how much respect they have for them. And I like men who smells nice. I dislike men who gossip about other people, especially girls. And no, you do NOT tell me “That girl there is a b*tch” or whatever to that effect.

I hate two-timers, I hate men who think they could get any girl into bed as long as they put enough effort into it. And I hate men who think they’re h*ll of a great person just because they are a little more famous than the ordinary man-on-the-street. I like men who introduce their girlfriends as such, instead of “This is my friend..” What do you mean by “friend”?! But that does not mean that I will tolerate anybody who goes, “Ouh, I got a new Tag Heuer watch for my sweetie pie” or “Tomorrow I’m fetching my love to the hairdresser’s” or “My honey just bought a pink fluffy dress yesterday”. Just use her name. I am sure she has one.

2. Would you ever consider having a lesbian relationship? Even just for experimentation sake..

Err.. Nope. Never thought of it. But if I were to think about it now, it will still be the same, NO.

3. If you could turn back time, what part of your life would you change?

I like this question If I could turn back time, I would quietly sit in the Chinese-medium kindergarten and learn my yi, er, san.. I would not cry and create so much problems for my Mum and an aunt who occassionally dropped by to check on me. I would quietly eat the cakes that were provided for tea-time instead of tearing my exercise book to wrap them up for my sister (you should’ve seen the teacher’s expression when I tore my book)..

4. If you had the power to change the world, what would you change?

First, I would order that all weapons of mass destruction be destroyed. Those weapons do no good to the people who own them as well as to those who do not own them.

Then, I would order all big forces to leave poor countries and let them rule their own countries. The bigger nations are NOT allowed to interfere in smaller countries’ administration and whatnots unless requested.

Then, I would sack all useless politicians who do not care a bit what the rakyat wanted. I would sack all those who talk big but could not produce tangible results. I would sack those politicians who cause more trouble then convenience to the people.

5. If you could choose what gender to be born into this world, would you want to be a guy or remain as a gal? Why?

I would want to be a guy. Because guys need not tolerate cramps. Because guys do NOT go through labour. Because guys do NOT spend a mint on makeups and whatnots.

As per rule 4 � Here are the rules:

The Official Interview Game Rules (copied to be passed on)

1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying �interview me.�
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person�s will be different.
3. You will update your journal/blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

But do me a favour by NOT asking me to interview you, OK? Because I don’t think my jammed-up brains can come up with so many sets of 5 questions *winks* I provided a link to Laksa’s, you may ask him to interview you instead *runs away*

Yeah, you read that right. So what about Akademi Fantasia?!

Note: I am NOT against anybody related to Akademi Fantasia or its viewers/supporters or whatever you call them. I am just airing my views..

I just learned the other day that the results of the Akademi Fantasia reality show depended solely on the votes casted by supporters. How absurd. I thought reality shows like the Malaysian Idol, Mentor and Akademi Fantasia are supposed to highlight the contestants’ performance instead of their popularity?!

No doubt, the Akademi Fantasia show is like a second opportunity for artists like Vince but that was because he really can perform! Every other Tom, Dick and Harry are following the herds just to claim their 5-second fame when snippets of their performance is aired.

I agree that one of the ways to increase viewership is to involve the viewers in the selection of the best performers. This could be done by casting votes, no doubt. But to allow each viewer unlimited votes is like allowing every rakyat to vote for their MPs unlimited times. Does this sound fair to you?

Whatever happened to the one-vote-per-person idea?! Isn’t this fairer to the contestants? By allowing multiple votes per person, the winner of the reality show may not be the best but the most popular. And if this carries on, our reality shows will be producing popular artists-wannabe and those who really can perform will be sidetracked. Is this the initial objective of Akademi Fantasia? To produce popular youngsters who wouldn’t mind appearing on instant noodles wrappers and tongkat ali drinks, and who do not mind being highlighted in the media for their messed-up private lives?!

And if the winner of the Akademi Fantasia episode is to be decided by the number of votes a contestant receives, why the need to have judges? It will not matter whatever the judges say because if one is a die-hard fan of a contestant, he will still vote for him regardless.

At the end of the day, the only winning party is STILL the telecommunication company that charges RM 0.60 for each SMS.

I did not mention about the release of terrapin hatchlings that will be held this June 13th, did I?!

Anyway, the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (a.k.a. PERHILITAN) of Terengganu is organizing a release ceremony at Pasir Kumpal, the in-situ terrapin research and conservation project site. The hatchlings that will be released next week were hatched from the eggs that were deposited between February and April this year.

The ceremony, which will be officiated by the Mentri Besar of Terengganu, Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh, will be held as follows:

Date: 13th June 2006 (Tuesday)
Time: 9 am - 5 pm
Venue: Pasir Pulau and Pasir Kumpal, Dungun, Terengganu

The district of Dungun is located about 60 km south of Kuala Terengganu. It is about an hours’ drive from Kuala Terengganu (from the north) as well as from Kemaman (from the south).

Anyway, if you are interested and would like to attend the ceremony, leave me a note in the comment box and I will give you a more detailed explaination on how to get to the site.

See you there!
