WHO IS A FOOL?

I have never been called to the principal office for anything with my two older girls.Today as much I would like it to be an April's fool joke, I find myself doing exactly that.
Walking towards the office, a lot of possibilites of 'why' I'm being called flashes on my head. None of them points to the positive side of anything thou .
Lydia is just one 'extra ordinary' child I reassured myself not wanting to use the word 'jahat' as I have always done whenever the negative side of her shows up.
So different is she that makes me wondered.... 'why'.
Are my capbilities being challanged for taking so much pride in raising my older girls so right?.
Why is it then with her be so 'difficult'?

Ok...now I know . I was told that she lack concentration during lessons. So much so that a simple answer given five minutes earlier can't be register in her mind.
What can this teacher tell me that I don't already know?
I have learned of this problem a long while ago when spelling was the issue.
I know for one too that she has the habbit of 'shutting' down her mind to whatever 'thing' that she doesn't want to there and then.
Hhhmm,....with her exams is so near... I'm going to need to work on something here.

Finally I went to the bank today.
Yeah.. to bank in my cheque and also to withdraw some much needed petty cash.
It's a new month and everything needs paying or services will be terminated..heheh
(I'm referring to my girls' school transportation plus tuitions.)
After doing my banking, I did one of the rare thing that I do, which was to sit and have breakfast by myself.
Too 'alone'?... not really for I know the lady behind the apron for years. We were school mates before and I have always patronised her stall whenever I'm there.
I had actually just wanted to 'tapau' but since I still needed to wait for the 'parking' lady to finish her 'business' inorder to pay my ticket. ( yes.. it's the one that I got the time we went to the town market)
The ticket in question
Came home and did what needed to be done. It's been two days in a row that the maid did not turned up.
Wonder what happened to her... she should have called.
Well.. she never did for all the time she didn't come so why was now any different.
Hopefully she didn't 'kena tangkap'...but I know for sure she has 'papers'.
Hopefully tomorrow she will come.

Andrew is back...from Keningau that is why he is hours earlier than usual.
He was already home around four.
Another tuition night for the girls.

DRINKS ON...AT JO'S

We were the only two person in the house who had the option to stay in and do whatever we feel like doing all day all night.
Ah...the joy of 'makan anggur'.
Althought I still have to wake up at my normal school day time, I still have the preveliage to steal a nap or two throughout the day.
Tisha has it even better . She was never up before twelve unless it was church day.
She has offically turned into a 'hantu malam' ever since school was out.
Looking at the time she last logged on her FB one would know.

My initial plan for today was to go to the bank. Do some shopping and pay some bills.
Somehow the laziness in me rather than the heat of the day got the better side of me.
I actually could be doing so much more than sit for hours infront of the pc... but that was the only 'heart' thing that I felt like doing.....with naps in between of course.

I baked another cake for Jo's kids when Tisha said she wanted to go over to her place to discuss 'something' with Diane.
I knew of her 'plans'. They were putting final details on the Genting trip they have been planning since last year.
Tisha wanted to tag me and Jo along...as their banker!
Banyak cantik....We will decide on that matter at a later day.

With Yona and Lydia staying at home ( we anticipate a late night ), we went over around seven thirty.
On hand was our lap tops... we were told to bring them so that we won't be 'fighting' to get access to the net later on.
As with every trip to Jo's place, we always chat over either a can of beer or a pack of 'lihing'.
Tonight it was 'lihing'. Two packs down my throat and wow the 'kick' was working its way to my head giving me nothing but awsome feelings.
A good 'bad' kind of feeling which puts you in the right mood for anything I would say :)

On our individual LT , we went into Yahoo chat rooms trying to hook up conversation with some of those oh so desperate people that patronises these rooms.
As with previous nights, we were there just to have few laughs over the nick these people uses.
Got a few buzzes when I made myself seen but I was totally unattracted to anyone really.
I ended up chatting with old friends that were already on my list instead.
It was already almost one o'clock when we left Jo's place..... when the 'kick' has worned off a little.
It would have been so good...IF...
Instead....
I slept my 'good feeling' off the moment we reached home.

While waiting for us to bottoms up....this was what the girls did.
Trying to get a good photograph with Teddy. Not her (yes..Teddy is a she) best night probably as she wouldn't sit still for that purpose....even with a 'gun' pointed at her



Finally... still not a perfect picture with Teddy

TAK ADA......

Yeah it's monday.....my day of rest.
After what seems to be very 'full' weekend this monday I made sure that I get to enjoy my day of rest.
But as early in the morning the girls have already started 'complaining' . They had no clean shoes for school.
Ha.... served them right I told them right front ( althought it was a little guilt that filled my heart). I have told them hundred and one time to wash their 'stinking' shoes once friday come but to no avail.
All these while I have been the one making sure that they have clean shoes come every monday.
With the activities on saturday and sunday, I did not make time to do this little task. Partly because I know there are two pair of Tisha's that she didn't use anymore and another two pair of Lydia's 'free' shoes laying around somewhere.
Having said that, the 'problem' was solved instantly but not without hearing my never ending lecture on the issue of relaying too much on mom.

TAK ADA.... that was what went up to my head once I checked on my phone.
Hhmm... nothing.
As the two school going girls would only be home around four, me and Tisha had the whole time to ourselves.....doing TAK ADA apa apa.
Well...if you consider surfing and playing FB games 'something' than today was not totally wasted.


We never fail to include our signature pose

Tonight we were at the bowling centre ready for training when we were told ..TAK ADA .
Talk about reading the schedule. ( I had a tiny twinkling 'move' to check on it prior to leaving thou in the end forgotten altogether)
Strange that the whole of this week would be TAK ADA training. The next session would only be on next monday.
And yet the coach said ..
".. training days can't be too far apart"... when I tried to change the girls days of training.
Not dittered with the TAK ADA word, the girls carried on doing their usual monday's night bowling.
They were actually not the only ones that came tonight thinking there would be training ( non readers too haha!) . In all there were ten of them.
Tonight they had to pay for their own indvidual lane.




Staying for only an hour ( since we were paying!) , we continue the fellowship at 'habib chicken rice' .
Jo's children have not taken their dinner .Mine did but could still 'stuff' a piece of roti canai down somewhere.
Hhmmmm.. finally news on my phone.

I had my normal teh tarik plus another ice milo to go.
Satisfied and happy it was back on the net all the way till one in the morning.

LYDIA TURNED EIGHT

I have upload these pictures months ago.
Photographs are my way of remembering the day my Lydia turned eight.
It was a sabbath day and so she got to celebrate her cake with her sabbath school mates. The monthly birthdays pot luck lunch was also held therefore she got another cake to cut there.
The dinner was held at Ocean King II steam boat restaurant with close family members which include Jo and her kids.

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY

The title has nothing to do with what I'm blogging. Just that I noticed the date my blogs were publish does not tally with the real day I wrote them.
I will have to do some minor adjustment....if I can locate where the 'problem' area is.
Well... it is friday today. A note to remind me that I let down another offer to met up with the old friend for breakfast before he leaves for home later today. He did apologized for not turning up on our bowling 'date' sighting no transportation as his excuse. I have nothing to comment on that...case closed.

I have gotten myself engrossed on the net again to download a few more of 'my kind of songs'. I've been sitting here for over an hour without even logging into fb.
Seems I'm winning over my fight to stay away from fb...well not totally staying away. I had only wanted to limit my time on fb games.

I baked two type of cakes this afternoon, a banana cake and a moist chocolate cake.
I'm baking two because tomorrow there will be pot luck after church and since mom would be bringing the main dishes it's only right that I bring dessert.
MY BANANA CAKE FRESH FROM THE OVEN...this picture didn't do it justice thou..lookwise nor tastewise

Tonight Yona and Lydia had tuition class so bowling training was forgo.
I did all my chores prior to sitting down on the net again. The maid won't come tomorrow and I know I won't have much time to do them before going off to church.
Chatting till the wee hours of sabbath with no other but Jo.
Seems we have lost touch with this chatting 'thing' with strangers.
The slight unpleasant nick ( abangbole,suamisunyi,badtoungue,lickingood...blah blah blah..) which normally would amuse me, annoyes me instead.
I don't know how Jo was doing but my state of mind and mood just couldn't reason with what I was reading at these chat rooms.
They all seems so desperate for affections. So lonely and alone....and SOOOO willing to please!
Did I sounded like that all those time I went in there?...
hhmm ( think think think ) hhmm..... desperate housewife? ..hahahah

AMERICAN IDOL RECAP

I'm watching a rerun of American Idol since I missed last night's show.
Tisha have read a few comments made by some of her friends who have seen the show and said none of the contestants performed well.
This week theme was 'No.1' Hits.
I've just watched Lee perform. I'ts a three to one vote. Everyone liked him except Simon.My view?.. as much as I like him , I believe he made a wrong choice with that song as well.Probably because it's unfamiliar to my ears.

Now... Aaron was so.. so much better. Every judge was pleased. I'm thrilled because Simon said he has got 0% chance of going home this week.


My favourite lady Crystal was next...She is really the one to beat in this competition. So very calm and 'cool' . She's so good that Simon even said she's the only one who is in a different league. Her 'coolness' somehow made her look emotionless to her surrounding. Nevertheless everyone seems to love her...including yours truly.


The next lady to beat would be Siobha. She is one unic lady who is not afraid to show everyone her style. Too bad Simon didn't think much of her voice. He said she screams too much.

The rest of the pack were 'so so'.. none too good none really bad except for Paige...who was eventually sent packing today.
At least America got that right. She sang way below parr compared to the rest.
In my opinion she should have never made it to the top 12 in the first place.

Final 10...so far so good. My 'horses' are still holding on.

WEDNESDAY SORE THROAT WITHOUT

I had been online on and off since yesterday afternoon trying to update my blogs. Few 'moments' went through my days that I practically wanted to add to the 'memory box' on my bolgs.
It seems I am more into my feelings this past week seeing that I have written and published more blogs on my Space than here.

I really have not been doing much other than the normal stuff this morning.
Probably the 'mood' was not here again...or the fact that I was a bit under the weather or just plain 'lazy' :)
Yup...my throat is sore and I felt 'sick'.
Did I mentioned my heart felt 'sick' too?.
I'm sure it's not really sick..probably just missing a 'piece' of 'something' that it's used to.
I'm not a doctor but I tried 'drowning' myself with lots and lots of water for my sore throat ( silly actually).
My heart?.... only time I'm sure will 'heal' it.

MOMENTS AT THE ALLEY
Evening was spent at the bowling alley again.
I had actually made a 'date' with an old friend for a game or two when he called for tea this afternoon.
I was feeling so reluctant to go and had only said 'we'll see' to his tea invitation and offered the game instead.
With the game I figured we would not be talking too much thus saves me from ....talking much :)
I did not bother to recomfirm with the bowling offer when he didn't call.
Me and Jo did not really play a good round as we were more into gossiping than into the game itself. Our centre of focus was missing.
Thou the 'phase' have lapsed we were still enjoying those 'moments' .
Those were our 'moments' therefore talking about them rekindled nothing but wonderful feelings we both felt and shared before.
As we did planned to have dinner at the bowling cafe with our 'none exist' guest after the game, the 'gang' were not left dissapointed.
Two dinners in a row at the same place with the same menu?.
This adds up another plus to the memory bank. ... to yesterday's 'moments'

SWEET SORROW

WHO WOULD KHOW WHAT'S HIDING BEHIND THOSE SMILES

I had wanted to sent them to the airport myself but Andrew came back last night and I didn't know what his plans were for today so I did not totally commit myself.
It turned out that he would be leaving for Lahad Datu right after taking his medications from the hospital. With that note, I went off to join my friends for their last breakfast in Sandakan.
Jo joined us at the airport.

THE CHOSEN ONES

LAST MINUTE SOUVENIR


Meeting up was exciting, happy and something to look forward to wherelse saying goodbyes is the exact opposite...... it all seems to associate with pain and sadness.

The day turned dark and gloomy...it rained after they have left.
In my heart it did too. I have gotten accustomed to their presence.

WHAT SEEMS TO BE A LONG WEEKEND

I put that title on because that was exactly what I felt.
I have known since thursday that Andrew would not be coming home this weekend.
He would only be home on monday....reason unknown ( not that I did ask but most likely it could be his medical review or a official meeting)
That is one spoilt plan for Tisha who had wanted to hitch a ride with him on Sunday.
She had made plans with friends to go for a short trip to KK.
I have asked her to change it to another day since.

I was not really feeling well friday night and had gone to bed early. I was not even up to a simple cleaning up task.
I was probably in bed by 10pm.... considered very early for someone who normally sleep at 1-2am.
Sabbath day I was up as usual as I know the maid won't be in to do her routine.
Picking up the priorites , I was already done by the time mom came.
I refused her ride as I would need my own transportation to send Yona for her tuition later on.
Because of that too , I didn't stayed for the sermon session.
Pity that I missed a wonderful one. This week it was delivered by members from a few different churches.

Yone ends her tuition at the same time as service ends. Jo called and asked me to meet up for lunch somewhere.
We opt for MR BEAN located somewhere near Yona's tuition centre.

I sent the girls went off for youth activities at 3pm .
They came back after sundown worship... by bus! Yona as always was displaying sour grapes and was showing her 'long' face.
I was online till midnight eventhou the line was so slow.

Sunday morning was spent with Jo . She had said to pick me up for an early morning appointment to the bank. Early morning turned out to be 9.30am.... I could have slept longer if that was what early meant.
She had said earlier as her hubby was home and that is the only time she would be free before she have to 'entertain' his presence.
Our 'appointment' was to bank in the deposit for our on coming holiday trip.

With breakfast at Kim Fung's market and 'ta pau' lunches for the girls the appointment was done.
The rest of the afternoon was spent napping while on the net ( multi tasking :) ) right up to the time where I had to go to the airport. A friend was flying in from KK.
We chatted over a cup of tea tarik before sending him to the compex's hostel where he was staying.
Before midnight I was back to my 'farms' activities again.
Chatted with Jo till way past one.

'NEW' FRIENDS

I received a surprise but pleasent phone call from my very long 'lost' friend Francis yesterday morning.
I do not make a habbit of picking up calls with no name displayed on my handphone but ever since the house phone gone 'haywired' I was not given any option but to pick up all incoming calls.
As it turned out he has already been in town for a couple of days prior to the call.
Hhmm.... this is what happened when friends become strangers. They tend to feel a little akward getting in touch again.
However once the 'ice' was broken, we seem to be at ease talking to each other about old times and anything else under the weather.
He was here as an official for the Melaka under 16 boys hockey team who would be competing in the tournament which was to be held in the span of ten days.

This time around, the national under 16 boys hockey tournament would be played right here in Sandakan.Initially it should have been held in KK but up grading work on their hockey field was still under way therefore not ready .

Much to the dissapointments of some of the team members I supposed.
Sandakan is such a small town. Ten days here? What were they to do?
What has Sandakan to offer compared to KK ...other than the hockey field? :)
.... monkies at the famed Sipilok centre perhaps?.. ha ha ha
Well..it is listed on the 'must visit' place should you land yourself in Sandakan. That is where I supposed everyone would ended up visiting by the end of their stay.


THEY DID! but sadly forgotten to observe the feeding time table therefore managed only to see the orangs on video clips.
They did not miss ( could not escape would be a better word ) the chance to do some hiking at the Rainforest Discovery Centre as well.





We came along for motivational purpose ;)

IT'S JUST ANOTHER MONDAY

What had been 'appearing on my mind for when they 'appeared' was that there is something not right with the house phone.
As they 'appeared' at odd times, checking on the problem took days before I finally was in the 'right' time .
I have been using it to call out many times before but it seems to be silent when incoming calls were concerned.
I doubt nobody ever called at all. Well...the least mom would!.
Today I found out that despite the 'displayed light' lighting up whenever there was incoming call (I tried calling in), there was not a single ringing tone heard.

Oh wow...no wonder there has not been any single call since..... How long has this been going on?
Hhmm...another 'problem' that needs taking care of.
I tried changing the phone unit to the old one which the techinican changed weeks ago but the 'old' problem came along with that.
Yup... there was ringing but no sound could be heard on line.
eeee...

What I did in the morning was...
I baked a cake
did the laundry.
hhmmm... hhmm....hhmm..
I was online updating my (usless) farms :)
doesn't seem much :(

This week the girls and me would be competing for the 'biggest loser' amongs us. They ( not me) were complaining to have gained weight and need to 'trim' down a little . We started the weighing in last night.
I am still maintaning mine at 52kg, Tisha was already at 52Kg while Yona at 48Kg.

I was not allow to serve 'real' meals this whole week at their request.
It was more than fine with me. Saves me the trouble to cook all together.

ALL MINE!
Afternoon was spent waiting for the girls while they did their training.
It's the first day of the first term school holidays. All their training were schedule in the afternoon during this time.
Today was Tisha's first day to came back for training from a very long lay off season. She had stopped to concentrate on her SPM exams which later continued to her National service stint. She had actually intended not to start so soon but her coach kept on insisting that she came. As not to dissapoint him, she obliged.

After three hours of training .... plus no 'real' food since last night, it was a loosing battle not to stop at pasar sim sim.
Location wise ,it was a place where we MUST go through to get home... ;} he he
To cut the story short... that is where we ended up at 5pm . Early dinner to compensate for not having breakfast nor lunch....meals in between don't count ;)
yum... yum... yum...yummy
three rounds of rice!



They tried to washed out the guilt by dancing twenty minutes to Paula Abdul's workout video once we got home.
calories wise?... I don't know if they balanced out.

ANOTHER WEEKEND

The weekend was totally spend at my leasure.
As usual the maid won't be in on Saturday therefore I would still need to wake up early and do the 'what needs doing for the day'.
I managed to fry mee hoon for breakfast plus doing the laundry as 'extras' other than the normal 'priorities'.(all related to my cats , dogs and rabbits!)
We were ready by the time dad came to pick us up for church service.
The day's topic was mainly on how the fifth formers members SPM results were.

Andrew picked us up even after I said we would just follow dad home. A good gesture on his part as dad's car was already full with some trainee nurses by the time we went down to the parking space.
I later found out that they were his regular passangers going home from service.

What can I say, Andrew have always been our means of getting home therefore everyone took it for granted that we have transportation going home.
The girls went on for youth activities at church at 3pm which continued to a bbq at a member's house. They came back only after 10pm.

My afternoon was spent online after a 'window' shopping spree( it's called that because I control my 'wants') at Wong Yung Kee. Not totally winning actually as I did buy two pieces of small size cup cakes baking tins to add up to my collections.
Also did some groceries shopping for dinner which I did make later on.

Internet line was below average again but being persistence, I stayed on till around midnight.
ZZZzzzzz... lost to this world.

Andrew went back to KK only around midday on Sunday. He got delayed because my lap top was giving problem with it's wireless connection and I NEEDED him to 'fix' that before he leaves.
What can I say.....I NEED to be online!
'LIFE' saver
Problem temporarly solved when he lend me his Dlink wireless for the time being.
Phew!... but the line was still 'bad' as yesterday. (probably due to the strong wind that we were experiencing these few days)
Frustrated with the slowness...I went on to watch the re runs of American Idol 2010.
I had seen the results via youtube earlier on when I missed the live telecast show on thursday.
Wasn't happy with the results then and still am having the same opinion now.
WHY WHY WHY.... two of my favourite didn't make it to the top 12. So early in the 'game' to be out?
My favourite for the men... Alex Lambert got 'kicked' out
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh....whattttt?..... nooooooooooo
Lily Scott whom I felt had what it takes to be in the top contenders was aslo 'kicked'out.
Really *&#$%^&?#.....it's only the top 12 and already Americans got it so wrong!

RESULTS OUT....HAIR OUT

Being the first day of 'freedom'.... after PLKN... Tisha had said she wanted to sleep in late.
It was already almost nine when I finally wake her up.
It was today at 10am that the SPM results would be let out nationwide.
She had made dates with her exclassmates to be at their former school at that time too.
I had hoped for a 'good' result from her but was prepared for anything less just incase that wasn't meant to be.
I had seen the way she studied. It was more of being on the net than engrossed in her books.
BUT.........that was her way I supposed. She had targeted her subjects and they were her priorities.
Prorities noted and she got her As and Bs.
Overall I'm still glad with her final results although I'm sure she could have done much better if she had 'pushed' herself further.
Happy and somewhat satisfied ,she went out with her friends not just to celebrate their results but also for some fellowship with them.

I went out with Andrew for breakfast and later for a much needed hair cut. I didn't ask him to wait therefore I had to take the bus home later on.

BEFORE..See how long my hair has grown

AFTER...aah the more comfortable length I'm used to

REMEMBER THIS DAY

Oh yes... I specially want to remember that today Tisha will finlly be back after serving her National service stint in Mantin Negeri Sembilan for the last three month or so.
The day went by as usual up till the time for me to go and fetch her from the airport.
Her flight was at 3.20pm so with a two hour forty minutes flight from KL to Skn , she should be here around 6pm.
We were 'early' as the ETA displayed was set at 6.35pm.
With last minute documentation she was only 'released' around 7.10pm.
After sending the two younger girls for their training, we went out to have dinner before finally going home.
Tisha did not want to meet up with the 'old' gang yet . She did not want them to see the tanned tone she had aquired during her stint there.
OMG.... it was that 'bad'!

The only picture I took as she walked out of the arrival hall.... and it's blurr!

YET ANOTHER END TO A WEEK....PLUS MONDAY

yup..it's another monday.How fast the week goes.
Weekend was spent totally on my interest....as was today.
the girls didn't have their training since friday night.
For the first time in a long while we were able to finish the whole service during church. In conjuction with women's week, the whole service was handled by the women ministry.

Yona 'testing' her camera in church

With no practice with the choir and as the song chosen was a malay number, I opt not to sing along. Jo wanted to but bailed out at the last minute due to her sore throat.
Since we stayed on till the end, it was already past midday when Andrew came to get us. We had lunch at pasar Sim Sim again. Seems Andrew like the food as much since he was willing to 'battle' even with the afternoon 'heat' .( you should see him sweat...while enjoying his food!)
I purposely wanted Andrew to sent me to the market for some dog/cat's food. My stock of raw fish came to the last bundle the night before.
Aahhh... not many choices to choose from. Nevertheless I HAD to buy some(15kg/RM2.5).
Bought some veggie as well....which made out to be our weekend dinners.

Sunday was spent mostly at home. The weather is so hot that makes going out was not an option to those who are so used to aircondition.
As always, its the food that makes me want to wander off from my 'nest'.
With me cooking dinner the night before.. ( :) Andrew knows I don't eat my own cooking)I was already experiencing some gastric pain when we finally went out for some noodles ( I was hoping for rice!)
Feeling full...we went back home for some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Easier said than done. The heat was really intense...inside the house so I went outside and did some 'productive' task. ( oh yeah... painting my wall....again)
It felt good though. Seeing something productive at the end of the day.
While out there,
I did my laundry.... clean my rabbit cage...pick the dog's 'mess'....plus cook dinner. Not forgetting cleaning the kitchen afterwards.
See?... I can do all that....if I want to :)
my say..... my..phase.
Did I mentioned the internet line was bad?
Well...it was . Therefore the reason I have time to do something else :)

Monday have always been my sort of 'day of rest'.
The girls were having extra classes and would only be back around four in the afternoon. I just love the thought of having a long afternoon nap ( catching up sleep for sunday's late night) I said that all the time eventhough a long afternoon nap is not something I do when I'm at home.
Andrew was around ...he comes home for lunch...at 12.30pm.
Thoughts eraseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.
On a more 'productive' note....I baked a chocolate cake and a dozen of strawberries cup cakes during those wake hours.

Was online for the rest of the afternoon. Surprisingly an 'old' 'old' friend appeared on my wanna be list of friend. It was way back in 1979 when I last heard from her. I have since added her as my friend but I will send her a proper message later on. Looking through her profile and pictures I can't help but reminisce memories of my past....high school years.... my teenage years.
I went through my cupboard looking for my old photo albums.
Aahhhhhhhhhh....yuk..did I really looked like that.
Eweoh..I was soooooo dark!(pinch myself....) I was an athlete..one of the best during 'my time' I could brag... blah..
Probably too many hours spent on the field contributed to my tanned tone.
Guess looking fair and pretty was not really in the 'book' back then...or that probably was the 'in' look then. No doubt I recall having endless'admirers' ..he he..
I wondered what they saw in me then.

Evening was spent at the bowling alley as the girls had their schedule training that night. Jo however did not turned up so I ended having an hour of bowling by myself.
An hour of bowling by myself...Oh how my back hurts !

This photo was our first studio shot. Taken in 1979.
We were 'the Queens'...seated were Pricilla and Appy while Standing from L are Rhodora, myself and Ginabell (she's the one)

AMERICAN WOMEN

CRYSTAL BOWERSOX... so calm...so effortless

LILLY SCOTT...she stands out becos of her hair colour. At par with Crystal in terms of her singing

SIOBHA MAGNUS... another unic person with good vocal

DIDI BENAMI... recognisable vocal

KATIE STEVENS.. at 17 makes her the youngest amonts the ladies

Almost all with extra good vocals. It comes down to these ladies that caught my interest.
What can I say that Simon haven't already said. The girls seems to be 'stronger' than the boys this year.
Everyone seems good but I guess in the end it is all up to the audience to vote. Then again I do feel much influenced by what the judges said at the end of each week.
Unlike us Malaysian, they have a least the 'brain' to vote according to the performance as they progress each week in the contest.
Malaysian tend to vote according to their loyalty (normally based on how good looking they are) regardless how talentless they are.
