Of course, this is the easiest part.
The real difficult part? Editing for 10hours straight on my iMac, with limited footage due to time.

Of why I hate Kpop....mostly
Photo of me by Conan Seow
The heavily commercialised music from Korea, it's all driving me nuts. Sure, it's catchy, especially the club musics, most I've heard have really good studio mixing done.
Personally, as an ABRSM certificated singer and a self-taught musician(heh, I can play all forms of guitars, the ukelele, drums and a little keyboard), I would say, Kpop has brought music to a new low-down. When I listen to 2NE1, Super Junior, or whatever, everyone seemed to have forgotten one thing, putting your in feelings into the music.
You don't have to be the greatest singer, if you can put in your emotions, and let people feel you, you'll get them.
I've watched a handful of performances of typical Kpop musics, and I'm sadden and disappointed,
Yes, they can sing, they can hit the pitches, but, so what? I'm not looking for some posers, actors/actresses or models, I'm looking for a singer, someone who can bring out the essence of the songs forward.
Let's watch, these are what I meant by actors/actresses, posers and models.
This is what I call a singer, the full focus on the music, vocals, emotion....
The dynamics of the piano/keyboard progression and his vocals, the zero-distractions, and the amount of RESPECT he puts into his performance, can you see/hear/feel the differences?
A good vocalist doesn't guarantee that one is a good singer, one of my favorite bands' song, Ordinary man.
And one final word, don't sing for the sake of singing, put life into it, and watch it grow.
Paint the town red with Nandos!
Continued from my food review session at Nandos! Click click
Unrelated music video, but heck, I like it.
Just to let you readers know, Nandos has a campaign going on, in which to find out Singapore's favorite Peri-peri flavour , Click here or the pictures for the facebook app link.
100 Lucky voters will get a chance to win invites to a Nando's Party based on the best voted flavour! (And can bring 2 friends hor), who says' there's no free lunch in this world?
And oh, got free coke!
Of course, I'm loving the Extra-hot sauce marination, it's possibly even spicier than our small chillies
Nothing beats having bacon.
Rape the bacon with the Extra-hot Nandos marination.
360degrees celcius, 15minutes, and this is what you'll get, bacon chips.
Pharking spicy bacon chips.
So spicy it burned through my skin.....nah, I can't remember how I cut myself in the kitchen.
No worries, I'm First-Aid trained and certified, true story, bro.

Nandos Peri-peri flame grilled chicken Review
A week ago I was invited down to Nandos Tampines Outlet for a food tasting session with a bunch of other bloggers! Kudos to Vibes comm
Nice chicken pose and some hot babes going around promoting Nandos Chicken
Lets get right onto the food shall we?
For starters, we had Wild mushroom soup and bread, and Chicken Livers and Portuguese Roll.
A closer look at the Chicken Livers with the delicious sauce.
My first time having so much livers, it was almost-happiness for me.
The Peri-fect Platter.
The Kebab meals.
Nandos really serves with weird and interesting ....kitchen wares? I don't know what to call it.
The Kebab sets come with varieties of sides, such as salad and sweet baby potatoes.
More food.
The Cataplan
Splitting my portions.
Some other grilled chicken.
Halfway, we were disturbed by the promoters, beautiful girls in fact.
It was a tough decision, whether to follow Smith's steps and head out to hold the girls by the shoulder, or eat the freshly made desserts.
You know me, you know my decisions, DESSERTS.
My favorite, Caramel Cheesecake. I was speaking with some people from Nandos, they told me not to mention about what I said about the cheesecake, I only said they were "pharking delicious".
Nandos is in fact a very scary place to eat, using this as a representation of the foods(except tomato), the foods served are all marinated in 4 simple categories(made up by me hor), PLUCKING SPICY, VERY SPICY, A BIT SPICY and no-no spicy. They are very good at burning our bodies up.
The extremely spicy marination would make just about anyone like this.
But luckily, they served us some mocktails very quickly, they call it Designer Drinks there.
Citrus Bliss and Madeira Red
As well as something that's very refreshing, Refresh Mint
Everybody had at least 3 of whatever Designer Drinks they had, while screaming about delicious spicy foods.
And oh yes, they do serve plain water, cold and warm, not sure when they implemented this since the stir online
But nonetheless, here's my verdict.
Nandos seems to be easy to order, and yet dynamic at the same time, unlike "that curry rice restaurant at 313orchard" where you have to pick like 0% to 100% of spiciness(thus making it difficult for customers to choose). Nandos lets you pick from 4 categories like I've mentioned earlier(the one you read up there was a joke lah), they have
I have no complains about the food, in fact, it was excellent, the chicken was all tender and well marinated, as you have seen in the pictures, despite the fact that it was all flame grilled, the chicken remained juicy yet crisp on the outside.
The variety of spiciness levels made simple, no 0%-100% nonsense, I had mostly the Extra-hot marinated chickens, even though I couldn't handle it, I'd say it was interesting, the burn stays with you for quite a while, my dump hours later was also spicy on my anus, man, even Nandos could make my dump more interesting.
Overall, MUST-TRY
Nandos have 4 outlets at the moment, located in the following malls

3rd Planet Launch - 10th December 2011
3rd Planet is supported by the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA).
Not sure if MDA would censor anything from it, but hey, it looks pretty cool, have a look at the video preview.
It does look alike Google Earth, but focused mainly on tourism areas.
World's most extreme and inclined airport, The Lukla airport.
Another part of Nepal.
Looks cool eh? though it isn't as high-res'd as I thought, still, it's pretty cool to be able to virtually head to the place you're going/not going and have a look.
Another side note, 1st million users get to sign up for free, I guess the rest will have to pay(argh, even Google Earth is free)

Pepsi worker contaminating drinks with HIV hoax.
If you've received SMSes, emails, tweets, or even read it off your facebook wall about someone from the Pepsi Co. contaminating the drinks with his/her HIV-infected blood, please think, research, before spreading nonsense online.
Oh yes, reminds me about Chen Wencong's appeal for blood, another silly case, read about it here.
Another silly person spreading the hoax.
At any soft drinks production line, it is pretty much impossible to infect just about anything, everything is computerised and from what I know, it is a common practice for them to check batches of drinks for quality control probably every 15minutes.
With the heat from the production lines, the average 2.6 to 3.0 PH levels of carbonated soft drinks, even if someone managed to pump in his HIV-infected blood, the cells will not be able to survive, they would be destroyed by the acidic soft drinks.
Example of a production line, the speed and quality control
But, if you're still worried, I suggest checking out if you're HIV-infected at this location in Singapore, do that note of the window-period for HIV detection in human blood, which is about 3 to 6months.
