LAST "BUMP" ON AI

.

 

Hehehehe.... I have many a times said that I'm good at 'picking' a potential  winner.
Well , at least that is what I want to believe this time around. ( :(  seems every year I got it 'wrong' on the finals)

This year, my 'horse' has just gotten into the final round.
I caught a small laugh with Amber's elimination last week because amongs the four, she was the one I would picked to go off first.....and she did!

Tonight I laughed again when Ryan announced it was Angie's turn . Yesss!!!..
With her gone, the path for Kree now became smaller and straighter.
Not that I don't feel Angie has got what it takes to be the winner, Because like I have said earlier , she actually has 'everything' to be the winner.
Unfortunately with reality shows , it's the ordinary people that become judges.  The whole show turned into a popularity contest instead  so anyone can become winners......Even ones who doesn't  have the 'IT' factor..

Angie painted the same look as Chris Daughtry's (idol 5) at the time when he was eliminated ....at the exact same 'level' (final three) . My guess was they both knew how good they were and was not expecting to exit until the finale .
Anyhow....people were shocked that Angie got eliminated, but they know the final two are worthy of being in the finale as well.

Singing her going away song, “Never Gone,”  she was crying throughout, and then giggling and apologizing.
Poor girl, she must have felt her 'world' ended there and then.

Kree was shocked that it was Angie that got sent home

 

To underestimate Candice's chances as idol is something that no one should do.  She is in to win it. She has been nothing but consistently and ridiculously good week after week.
I won't be disappointed , neither would anyone I supposed should she win.
Between her and Kree, she is obviously the 'technically' better singer. BUT...let's not jump the gun yet and just let them Americans settle this themselves next week.

 

 Candice is already the winner in many people's eyes..

####
I still would like Kree to win probably because she has this 'innocent/sad' look that makes you see her as someone very humble/down to earth/ ordinary/ one of us kind of person :) - ( while Angie on another note,  portraits the exact opposite ....which I feel was why she was not so popular with the crowd in the end)

CAKE MODE

Looking at the bunch of bananas that mom gave turning black in color gave me the urge to do some baking. Actually with a little urge from Lydia. She said it's been a while since I last baked a banana cake. egh...this is how she longed for the cake.....one sitting she reshaped the cake to  resemble the letter 'L'

MY THOUGHTS ON AI 2013

It's not like me not to do any post on American idol this year as I did every year. Yeah. . I wasn't going to BUT  the five girls I have 'picked' from the audition time have all made it this far.
I didn't want to say anything for the simple fact that should American 'picked' any one of them. . .they won't be 'wrong'. The girls have set the bar so high that it seem so natural to send the five men finalist home each week.
With no elemination on last week final four. . . it's everyone wonder if the judges too can't decide or they just want to collect more of american's votes.

Candice and Amber's die hard fans would be voting mad this week since they both were in the bottom two after the votes count last week.

Anyhow, for me everyone can be the winner cos they are all equally good.  However my personal pick would be for Kree Harrison although Angie Miller is showing everything an idol should be. Probably only their personalities would set them apart. I do feel Kree is more likeable in that sense thou.

Again , I can continue blah blah blahing on and on but it's still them americans who will determine their idol in the end.

LABOUR'S DAY 2013

Woke up at almost six thirty and wondered why my alarm did not rang this morning.
I had left my handband together with the phone in it at the kitchen table the night before.
That was how tired I must have been to have forgotten such an simple task as that.
 Luckly  it's a holiday today therefore Lydia did not have classes or else she would have missed her ride and  I would have the task to send her to school myself. Phew!!

It's labour's day today.....thou nothing special for unemployed folks like myself.
With no 'farm' to managed..I started my morning chores earlier than normal thus ending earlier than the normal ten o'clock.

It was only Lydia and me at home, so lunch, dinner plus any other meals in between was simple. One packet of 'meehoon' fried with eggs and ikan bilis .

#############

Important news of the day (which actually was yesterday but because my phone was not with me then, so I never knew until today )....Yona have received the offer from KML...yeaaaah!!!
 - which makes it now a 'headache' to make arrangements with her current college inorder for her to sit for her finals, graduate and leave the college with a full cert in hand within two weeks from today .The duration of the course actually would need her to stay for another month or so .
 

 Jeff  negotiated with the college that she be allowed to sit for it early so that she could register with KML on the stipulated date so that she need not worry about coming back to continue classes (during her semester's break) later on.
The first thought was to register in on the next semester  but we were told that the offer was only for this coming semester. Pushing that aside she might not be offered the same course again ...or worse gets the two year course instead.
After much deliberation , they feel that she was ready enough to sit for the final exams...in ten days time.

Brushed NayNay and bath Blinky...they both need REVOLUTION!!
I dread to checked on the other four...Grey specially.

POACHY'S LUMP

Considered 'urgent'...we had to change the schedule of two spaying 'slot' for Poachy's operation.  Now this is the third cancellation for Biscuit. Arrrrrr it'll be another 'difficult' month when she goes on heat again.

The operation went well with good news that the lump was merely accumulation of extra fats and nothing more 'serious'. She did extremely gained weight after her spaying .

 It was much much smaller the first time I noticed it way back in November when she was about to be spayed 

It grew at an alarming rate that removing it was an urgency matter

Aawww....looking so sweet  for her appointment  - side profile on the enlarging lump.

This was 'it'

Few hours after the operation.....bleeding a little when I carried her home 

OLD HABBITS DIE HARD

It's happening again. Last minute 'must hantar tomorrow' project. This time it's Lydia's.
She was asked to sew a small coin purse for her kemahiran hidup task.
Choosing to tell me at the very last minute would mean getting to do with what is in hand. Thus the very unattractive cotton print ( used to have few pajama pants in this print during my preteen years . Ugly but very comfortable material indeed)

Does this match a standard five student's work? and should I mention that she has never even sew a single stitch?
 Hehehe ....well, sorry teachers...this mama has a habit of completing 'home tasks' for her girls.

Last minute work would mean burning the midnight oil...as was with the two older girls.

#################

These 'skirts' were done on the same situation but three years apart.  The bigger one is Tisha's while the smaller one is Yona's.
I remembered 'yapping' out  at them on why not tell me earlier if it's due .... still .....I treasured those memories as good ones. And that is also why I hold on to these 'projects' ...very dear to my heart.

IT'S JEFF'S DAY

Sometimes it may not be possible to remind someone everyday of how special they are in your life.

 

Wishing your birthday is filled with  sunshine of joys, rainbow of smiles and rainfall of laughters plus an extra candle on the cake for an extra reason to smile. Happy birthday Jeff.... there's  still ain't nobody like you.

We ordered pizzas and chicken wings but without a birthday cake . I wanted to make one but Jeff said no need as we were going to have the 'real' celebration plus birthday cake when we are in KL in two weeks time.
