Britains Got Talent 2009 lots of sympathy votes
Just because you are 10 years old, you are given a chance to sing one more time because you screw up for the first time during the semi-finals yesterday in UK.
1st failed attempt - Hollie Steel cried halfway when she became too nervous on stage and forgot her lyrics. She asked for a second chance but the producers said there wasn't any time for her to sing again, but because she was crying helplessly, Simon overruled the producers and said: "Hollie, I don't care how we find it, but we will find the time somewhere."
2nd attempt that wowed judges
A 10 year old girl cried halfway during her act and she was given a second chance.
If a 70 year old man also cried halfway during his act, he may be given a second chance.
But if a 25- 30 years old man cried halfway during his act, he will not be given a second chance.
This show is about finding the best talent and voting for the best performer. Why should there be sympathy votes?
But usually people who voted the performer out of sympathy, they knew that the performer will not win the show but just voted as they "pity" that contestent who cried over spilled milk. Then if you know she is not going to win? Why still waste your money on sympathy votes?
I think Britains Got Talent should have an age limit or have another show such as Britains Kids Got Talent.
Britains Kids Got Talent will have audience witnessing many cry babies in the show. haha.
It is a competition, when is there such thing as a second chance? Just because you cried and screwed up your lyrics, initially many people feel for you but later they realise they are doing it out of sympathy and not because of how you fair.
So many great performers are voted off during the show because they are not kids or they are not old. The judges especially Amanda gave great comments to performers who are either very young or very old.
This 73 year old man did breakdancing, it is not breakdancing at all, I find him very brave and do respect him but since we are looking for a real talent and not entertainment, he should not get through the audition.
Let me predict who will win Britains Got Talent 2009 today.
1. Aidan Davis, I loved him! I hope he wins =))
2. I think Stavros Flatly may win, there is no real talent in their performance but true entertainment.

3. Susan Boyle. She has enough media exposure to win this show. She has shattered prejudices about the connection between age, appearance and talent. She also proved that you don't have to be young and glamorous to be talented, and recognised as such

I hope Hollie Steel will not cry again tonight. It is the finals, no more sympathy votes please...

Singapore's First H1N1 case
http://www.todayonline.com/articles/322370.asp
Singapore has confirmed its first case of Influenza A (H1N1).
.
The patient is currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and is in stable condition.
.
The patient is a 22-year-old Singaporean woman who was in New York from May 14-24. She arrived back in Singapore from New York on SQ25 on 26 May at 6.30am. She was seated at Row 55. .
She began to develop a cough while onboard. She passed the thermal scanner uneventfully as she did not have fever then.
.
Later in the morning, she consulted a GP who decided to send her to TTSH via a 993 ambulance, given her travel history.
.
She was immediately admitted for testing. Laboratory confirmation of her infection was made by midnight of 26 May.
.
The patient has been vigilant in monitoring her own condition and had sought immediate medical attention once she realized that she was unwell.
.
Her attending GP, through his quick response in activating the 993 ambulance for the patient, had also helped to minimize the spread of infection from this case.
.
The Health Ministry says it has initiated contact tracing of her close contacts. They will be quarantined and provided with antiviral prophylaxis.
.
Passengers who had travelled in the same flight and were seated in rows 52 to 58 are urged to call the hotline at 1800-333 9999 to enable the MOH to check on their health condition.
.
The MOH adds that all medical practitioners and healthcare institutions should continue to be vigilant to suspect cases.
.
Singapore will continue with temperature screening for passengers entering Singapore at all checkpoints (land, sea and air).
.
All passengers passing through or entering Singapore are given Health Alert Notices on board their flights, advising them to monitor their own health if they have been to affected areas and to seek medical attention immediately if they are not well.
.
Singaporeans are reminded to maintain high standards of personal hygiene. This means covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough, and washing your hand frequently with soap and water, especially after contact with respiratory secretions, for example, after sneezing and coughing.
.
Everyone also needs to be socially responsible. This means staying home and avoiding crowded places (including trains, buses, offices), putting on a surgical mask and seeing a doctor if you have flu symptoms.
.
MOH advises those who travelled to affected areas to closely monitor their health and seek treatment as soon as possible should they develop symptoms.
.
Members of the public are also advised to exercise caution over travel to affected areas.
.
In the event that travel is unavoidable, the public is advised to take precautionary measures such as avoiding crowded areas and maintaining high standards of personal hygiene at all times.
.
However, if you are unwell with fever and cough but have no travel history to affected areas, you are also advised to see a doctor and stay at home.
.
MOH is monitoring the situation closely and will update the public should there be any new developments.
.
For more information on Influenza A (H1N1-2009), you can access MOH’s website at www.moh.gov.sg, call MOH’s hotline at 1800-333 9999, or visit www.flu.gov.sg. - CNA
While reading this article, I went to mass research comments about this issue, how the people respond to this article and watch the forums.
1. SINGAPOREANS CHEERED FOR THEIR 1st H1N1 CASE!
Are there people who realy look forward to this day? Are you out of your mind?
What if you are the next one, are you happy to look forward to your "suffering" or "doom"'s day?
2. Too bad no 4D number to buy because it is SQ25
Some people were searching for 4 numbers, whether is it the hospital bed number, room number and now they are buying 2705, hoping it will hit the 1st prize.
What is so great about playing with 4D, you are wasting money away. My parents do gamble and play with 4D, I don't like it because it is really addictive. It is based on pure luck, so when they won, they assumed that they are lucky, then they bet bigger.
When things get addictive, it forms a cycle, when you see numbers you buy 4D but what is the probability of winning? You can play 4D, but just play for fun, play small. But I rather not play at all.
I have seen cases when you heard your relatives winning money from 4D, the whole family will start playing with 4D and compete who will win the top prize. zzzzz -.-
3. Why woman kana virus again?
Singapore SARS 1st case was a woman.
Singapore H1N1 1st case is also a woman.
Hence you assume that women are disease or virus prone is it? Yes, I do agree to an extent that men have a stronger immune system than a women.
But from what I have collected from the news, more men died of H1N1 worldwide. =))
Nobody is concerned about the situation, nobody is concerned about the victim, or rather only a few people pray that she will get well.
Honestly, I am excited but not happy about the first confirmed H1N1 case in Singapore, however I am still concerned about the victim as well as my family members, loved ones and friends. Hence, I mass messaged my family and my friends to tell them to be alert and also showed concern to them. They replied "Thank you, Jas!" I felt really good about it.
Life is unpredictable, if I don't show my concern now, do I show it after they are dead?

Boring love life? I am the problem
I admit that there was a period of time when I was bored of Isaac. It might be because I see him once a week or maybe the people around me each has an "exciting"boyfriend.
Please call me a bitch because I said Isaac is boring.
Please call me a liar because I did not practise what I preach. If you have read my blog often, I said that we should keep renewing our love to keep the relationship alive.
It is really not easy to renew your love for someone everyday. I am no longer having my honeymoon period with Isaac, we are 25 months together, so there is a tendency that we don't do things that are romantic anymore.
Do you remember I used to blog that Isaac often came to my house downstairs to look at me before he went home?
He surprised me frequently and I loved looking out of my window, waving and smiling at him who is 11 storeys below me.
He no longer does that or rather decided to stop doing this.
I am not saying that he is not putting in effort in this relationship to renew our love for each other, because I realised I am the major problem in this relationship.
I need to change because I am too easily influenced by the media featuring the perfect love life and maybe I envy my friends' boyfriends.
1. I expect too much from Isaac
I do have friends who receive gifts and flowers frequently, I told Isaac that it was a waste of money, but when I got emo at night, I tend to envy friends who are showered with gifts.
Isaac knew that I wanted to be pampered but at the same time I did not want him to touch any of his savings. So sometimes I am in a dilemma, gifts are temporary hence Isaac should save for our marriage(if we still can last that long).
But I do not why I am that impatient.
Currently, you want to enjoy life, but you have to tell yourself that if you enjoy now, you may not have enough money to enjoy in the future which supposedly is the right time to spend.
Isaac requested to buy gfits for me, I was so happy. However a few hours later, I realised gifts are temporal, they cannot last and it just to make me happy for the moment. With this thought, I told Isaac not to buy anything for me but just save the money or rather find a substitute.
About substitutes, these few days I have been thinking about substitues.
Fish and Chips at Swensons? about $13++ (not sure, I am a hawker food person, so I have not been to swensons for about 1 year+)
or famous fish and chips at Ang Mo Kio Vincent Western Hawker Food? $5.50
Think about this 2 scenarios.
Swensons has great ambience and is an air-conditioned restaurant, you will be tempted to be served by the staff and you also assumed that they will serve you good food. If I am eating in that restaurant, initially I will feel really happy but after the dinner, I have this sense of guilt and regret.
In my mind, "Eh, jas, actually Ang Mo Kio $5.50 fish and chips is cheaper, taste better and has a huge serving, why did you waste your money on Swensons? Please think of substitutes before you splurge can?"
This sense of guilt and regret is fcking irritating. I have 5 sense organs and it is enough, adding this 6th sense is driving me crazy.
I think if I tell you about the next example, you might think that I am a real cheapskate.
In a hawker centre, I choose and buy food that I myself cannot cook or I think that the food is not easy to cook, because it is more worth it. When I feel it is worth it, I feel happy.
Why waste money on porridge when I myself know how to cook. Now I know how to cook curry chicken, so why waste that money to buy curry chicken from hawker centre since I think that my curry chicken is the best.
I know this is too extreme, but I can't help it, I have this 6th sense inside of me that is super active.
This 6th sense is the major problem why I MAKE my love life boring. Because of me, I expect alot from Isaac, I want something from him BUT at the same time my 6th sense tells me that I won't be happy if Isaac spends on me.
SO WTF JASMINE?
If anybody is willing to smash my I-think-too-much brain, please do so, because I really hate that 6th sense.
How I really wish that I am an innocent, dumb, naive, ignorant child, so that I have nothing to worry about.
I need not worry about temptations
I need not worry about substitutes
I need not worry about my future
Why?
why do I have this fcking problem.
I declare myself the MOST CHEAPSKATE PERSON IN THE WORLD.
2. Because of money, I only want to see Isaac at least once a week.
I substituted love for money. why?
Going out with Isaac means spend money on food or movies. Even though we still eat hawker food or watch $6 movies, it is still money wasted. Hence I rather stay at home, cook or eat mixed rice which my parents often buy back for dinner.
Going out means spending on transportation fees. You may think that public transport fees are cheap, but if you calculate, you are actually spending about $100 a month.
So I spend lesser time with Isaac, but every friday he still comes to my house to stay over. Staying over at my house is cheap, because we watched all the latest movies online.
I love watching movies online with Isaac, LATEST MOVIES or movies that have yet to be screened in Singapore. The quality is superb and we can eat our own favourite snacks, discuss loudly or laugh loudly about the movie, pause the movie or rewind.
My mother often cooks lunch for us hence with him staying at my house every week, we need not spend any money! hoho, so happy.
But maybe because every week we are doing the same things, hence it tends to get a little routinary.
Again, I am the problem, because of money I caused my love life to be boring, I restricted Isaac from showering his love for me.
I need to fix this, but because I kept reflecting and thinking about my daily actions, people and my life, that I try to be "perfect" at the expense of love.
Please call me a bitch because I said Isaac is boring.
Please call me a liar because I did not practise what I preach. If you have read my blog often, I said that we should keep renewing our love to keep the relationship alive.

Ten Dollar Karaoke
After exams, my study group and I went to sing at Ten Dollar Club. It is 100 times better and more worth it than kbox or ktv. I might be going there again tomorrow with my sisters, I will never go kbox again, haha Ten Dollar Club, here I come!
Why worth it?
Free flow of drinks and crackers
Free hot shark fin soup
More updated songs than kbox
large screen
great ambience
great service
Great company is the most important thing too! And I have it =))
Zhao Lin, Chun Peng, Nicholas.
Zhao Lin may be short but God is fair, his brain is more developed than anyone else, he is a super fast learner and he helps you wholeheartedly, that is why so many people ask him questions. He still smiles and he will check on you whether you still know how to solve the problem.
When he sees that you are still stuck at the question for a long time or when you started showing signs that you are going to die from that problem, he will approach you and ask if you needed help. Yan Jie and I owe Zhao Lin our lives, if one day I become more successful than my friends, I will help my friends no matter what.
Yan Jie is single and looking for a lady who is feminine, understanding and polite. Yan Jie is somewhat polite, sincere and is also a gentleman, he may not be doing well in his studies, but he treasures friendship, family more than anything else. You can tell he is not the materialistic kind of person and he will work hard to reveal his full potential. All of us feel the pressure of studying harder when we see the way Yan Jie studies. Because you can see how he keeps practising and scribbling on rough paper and he can focus on his work for a long time.
This "psychologist", Chun Peng, loves to analyse people's personality and also I call him the "zao xia" person. Because when he speaks, he kind of speak off "tune", it is really hilarious.
I told him to say "YEEE HAH!"
He said: "Yee Harrrrrrrrrrr..."(zao xia..gua gua)
Rubik cube expert, he can solve it within 2 minutes or less! Isaac learnt alot of Rubik Cube tricks and tips from Chun Peng when Isaac came to NUS to give me moral support when all of us were studying. Isaac also bought chicken wing rice from clementi for the 7 of us at NUS library on one of the Sundays, thank you darbee =))
Nicholas on the left is a pleasant guy who knows how to organise and handle his commitments and studies very well. When he can't solve a problem, he will get piss off with himself. When you tell him a joke, he can laugh until his cheeks turn red.
Chun Peng can't sing at all. But it was true entertainment when he sung Jay Chou songs, haha. I hate Jay Chou and his songs because I think he is like a monk chanting his lyrics, does Jay Chou ever open his mouth wider to pronouce the words clearly?
Free flow of drinks, hence I drank alot. I know you want to say that I am cheapskate. But I am! haha.
Jian Cong! Does he ever gets angry with people? He is the mediator among us and sometimes when Jude and I scream and quarrel, he will come in between us to calm both of us down. We call him the Chicken Little because of his eyes and hairstyle. He teaches needy children tuition for free and is also a guitarist in New Creation Church engineering caregroup. I can't thank him enough for teaching me so many times and telling me some gospels to encourage me. When you ask him a question, he will tell you a summary of it before he redoes the whole question for you, what a meticulous and helpful man!
Clarissa, can you tell she is an ex st nich student? She speaks eloquently in English and Chinese. She is straightforward and frank but that makes her an independent woman, she has gained alot of respect from all of us.
Jian Cong's mouth is damn big!
Yan Jis is always the one jumping up, screaming and cheering during the whole karaoke session, he wants everybody to have fun and be happy.
Jude thinks that he may not do well last semester because he had more commitments to attend to but still he managed to pull through all his exams, I can't thank him enough for accepting me and respecting me since the day we know each other. He is officially my buddy! The morning smses to push me to go to school to study, I can't thank him enough! You promised me that you will buy me an alarm clock that runs away from me, please find it. Because I can snooze my handphone 15 times in 1-2 hours and I am still not awake, lazy me...
$10 is so worth it right? Actually not really $10, it is $11.60 inclusive of GST.
Jude said that my singing is flat and I sing through my nose, haiz what to do, Mariah Carey doesn't want me as a disciple.
But Jude's singing is horrendous, if you invite Simon Cowell there, he will say, " Please don't ever sing again, go back to Africa." haha Why africa?... look at Jude's skin colour. haha
I had lots of fun singing together with my friends! I can't wait to sing with my sisters tomorrow =))
Just by looking at this picture you can see how much effort Yan Jie puts in and can you see how much he focus on singing? I think fencing has trained him to focus on his target so much that he even applies it in his everyday lives, thats good. haha.
I think fencing and too much studying makes someone crazy too.
You can call to book now! There is more information at this website =))

Why worth it?
Free flow of drinks and crackers
Free hot shark fin soup
More updated songs than kbox
large screen
great ambience
great service
Great company is the most important thing too! And I have it =))
Zhao Lin, Chun Peng, Nicholas.
Zhao Lin may be short but God is fair, his brain is more developed than anyone else, he is a super fast learner and he helps you wholeheartedly, that is why so many people ask him questions. He still smiles and he will check on you whether you still know how to solve the problem.
When he sees that you are still stuck at the question for a long time or when you started showing signs that you are going to die from that problem, he will approach you and ask if you needed help. Yan Jie and I owe Zhao Lin our lives, if one day I become more successful than my friends, I will help my friends no matter what.
Yan Jie is single and looking for a lady who is feminine, understanding and polite. Yan Jie is somewhat polite, sincere and is also a gentleman, he may not be doing well in his studies, but he treasures friendship, family more than anything else. You can tell he is not the materialistic kind of person and he will work hard to reveal his full potential. All of us feel the pressure of studying harder when we see the way Yan Jie studies. Because you can see how he keeps practising and scribbling on rough paper and he can focus on his work for a long time.
This "psychologist", Chun Peng, loves to analyse people's personality and also I call him the "zao xia" person. Because when he speaks, he kind of speak off "tune", it is really hilarious.
I told him to say "YEEE HAH!"
He said: "Yee Harrrrrrrrrrr..."(zao xia..gua gua)
Rubik cube expert, he can solve it within 2 minutes or less!

Reflections and things to remember by hard
These are some reflections about life that we all should remember to be sensitive to other people's feelings.
I have collected these few "things" to remember by hard when I was on the bus to school or back home. It is so fun to reflect about life or about people, and the best time is to reflect when you have nothing to do.
1. When somebody is angry, leave them alone.
Reason: They are too frustrated to listen to anybody.
Solution: Their mind is already filled with angry thoughts, wait for their brain to be spongy again to absorb more advices when they are feeling calm.
Repercussion: If you aggravate the siuation by acting like you know how to solve the situation at the time when the person is angry, you will be flamed.
2. When somebody is sad, console them. (Actually everybody responds differently when they are sad, I have yet to figure out why. Being sad is the most complicated feeling, unlike angry, angry means angry, sad=mixed feelings)
Reason: They feel alone, they feel like they are the only one with these problems, they feel helpless.
Solution: Do not over sympathise the person, do not sweet talk so much false hopes for the person, but just listen to her and agree to her. Tell her that you are there to support her and help her, let her know that she is not alone.
Repercussion: If no one consoles the victim, she will feel like she doesn't have friends who care about her. When somebody is sad, they feel the loneliest, give her warmth.
3. If your close friend is not acting normally, whatever facial expression she shows to you is actually the opposite of what she is actually feeling. She smiles at you but she is actually feeling sad.
The most difficult thing is to detect a sad person. Easy to detect an angry person but not a sad person. Angry people are quite expressive but people who are sad tend to hide their feelings.
Reason: They don't want their friends to worry for them. They think that they can settle it by themselves.
Solution: If you can detect people who are having this split personality, leave them alone, they want you to know they are actually happy so pretend that you don't know she is sad. Talk to her normally and cheer her up =))
Repercussion: She will deny that she is feeling sad and said you are misunderstanding her.
4. Even if you are not close to your school mate or friend still wave, smile or say hello.
Reason: Widen your social circle, who knows they might help you in future even if they are not close to you.
Solution: Acknowledge them by waving, bowing your head a little, smile or say hello.
Repercussion: Once you forgot or didn't say hello to your friend, both of you will not acknowledge each other from then onwards.
5. Break away from having frenemies. Everyone will have enemies who are disguised as friends.
I chose Betty and Veronica because I think they are one great example of frenemies. Don't you agree? I love Archie Comics when I was young!
Reason: You will become more pretentious, and the way you talk to them will make you feel very fake. That feeling sucks.
Solution: Both of you know that you are in the frenemy relationship, stop backstabbing each other and stop gossiping untruth rumours about each other. Respect your friend and be sincere to her, she will gradually accept you and you have just made a new friend.
Repercussion: The hatred will always be there, you keep gossiping about her to your friends, you may not know that one day your friends may backstab you and side with her. That will hurt.
From point 1 to point 5, add in optimism for every situation, positive thinking = happy living.
There are alot more in my mind, but I am afraid it will be too boring and lengthy, hence will blog about it next time.
By the way, my exams are over, hence I can resume blogging everyday and start to find a part-time job, any lobang??
Happy holidays for me!
