Be Positive

I just watched the last episode of the current season of Amazing Race. It is quite sad to see the Twins go. However, I admire them this time around. In last episode, they were frustrated with their beach umbrella. This time around, I am amazed with how positive they were. Perhaps they were prepared for the worst and hence took everything positively?? I don't know.. I was like "WOW!" when they got so excited to do their speed bump (their "punishment" for not being eliminated for coming in last previously ). They exclaimed "Yay!" to wash the elephants because they love elephants. 

Poor Thai industry is being represented badly this time around where Taxi drivers at Phuket were cheating tourists. One team was ripped 4500 baht. Another was ripped USD150. One commented (under the Youtube video) that with USD 150, they can afford the airplane ticket from Jakarta-Bangkok (Indonesia was the previous pitstop before Thailand). The poor twin almost missed their Phuket-Bangkok bus because of the issue with the taxi driver. They had no money in Bangkok. In such desperate situation, I am amazed that they were still smiling and intending to walk 5hours to the next destination. Lol.. The taxi drivers in Bangkok 'saved' Thailand tourism industry. Really amazing that the Twins managed to get 2 taxi drivers to drive them for free.

I am glad this time around the Grannies came in 2nd. Well, it is a pleasure to see positive people. I need to learn to be positive :( Haiz.. I always complain complain complain. Another day is wasted just for assignments :( And I am frustrated with my own body. Currently from top of my head to the bottom of my feet are inflicted with illnesses of some sort :( I am worried about my infected nails but I guess worrying will not help. I can only do what I can do: apply the antifungal twice daily.

My mum called me about my fungal infection. It was nice to hear her voice. Apparently my mum had it before. She got it from soil thanks to her hobby of planting flowers. Worse, it was during pregnancy so she could not take any oral medication. Apparently it reached the nailbed so it had to be removed (after local anaesthetic of course!!). OUCH!! She assured me that it would be ok since mine has not reached the nail bed yet. And even if it reached the nail bed, just go doctor, remove the nails and it will grow back. That is being POSITIVE! Haha.. Gosh I hope it does not reach that stage although I feel that the infection is getting closer to nailbed despite my clotrimazole lotion for more than a week already. GOD HELP ME!!

On a different topic, I wanna talk about Sexy Zone. It is a new J-Pop group formed in support of Volleyball World Cup in Japan or something. Based on history, perhaps this will be "big". Many Johnny's group started from this Volleyball World Cup thingy starting with V6 (1995), Arashi (1999), NEWS (2003), Hey!Say!Jump (2007). I find it weird that the song for a sport competition is called "Sexy Zone" performed by a group called "Sexy Zone". WTF! Previously the plan was to call the group "Sexy Boy" OMG! Google that and I think porn websites will appear instead of this group. Even search results for "Sexy Zone" are not that children-appropriate too lol.

Anyway I think the song does not really capture the mood of sports competition. Quite weird. Perhaps the worst out of the 5 groups I mentioned above (well apparently V6 sang "Music For The People" which was a cover from dunno-who). Well I think NEWS' song for this world cup thingy is the nicest among all. Haha.. Too bad this group is the most suay, down from 9 members to 4 right now. Not sure whether it will be a success this time eh.. Haha.. I thought Kis-My-Ft2 debut song few months back is even more suitable for this Volleyball thingy haha..

Live!! And everyone had a chance to show their off-key singing LOL

A bit sian of my Christmas songs collection. Even the my perennial favourites (Billiy Gilman's, Charlotte Church's and Disney's) bore me out this time around. Never really like David Archuletta's Christmas albums. And from Mariah Carey's albums, only about 3-4 songs I like from each album. Perhaps I should find Celine Dion's These Are Special Times as my "Christmas Album of the Year". Or should I try Justin Bieber's?? Lol
