Tag: American Idol

How time flies. This is the third week I am blogging on American Idol and I can’t believe that Katherine McPhee has made me worried once and again. Well, since there are four left – 3 guys and 1 girl – if she doesn’t screw up at all, she can easily get to the final. Alright, we shall see. Personally, I thought her 2nd song Can’t Help Falling In Love moves me.

I am a geek, I am not a geek, I am a geek, I am not a geek. I don’t know. I reckon not to stress myself up and learn what my new phone can offer (catching up on 6 years of mobile phone technology as a couple of days ago, I still lived in 2000). Yesterday was on how to transfer media files using USB cable. Today, I tried using my home wireless network. I was so surprised that my mobile phone can “talk” to my computer after 101 steps of configuration. The WEP key itself felt like 101 characters.

Anyway, I am pleased with my new phone. Very pleased. I do recommend N80. Go get it!

Alright. The above was taken when Katherine performed last week in American Idol. Remember last week I was sort of upset that she was misjudged (and Simon did an apology on the result day). This week, she sort of messed up on the first song. Hope the second song saves her.

Met up with RC for lunch at Hooters – his beloved restaurant. Seriously, the standard of the waitresses have gone down real bad. While RC was still mesmerised from one of the DVD Chinese series (and he will lend to me while my wife Cynthia will be gone overseas next week), I was jaw dropped by his 6 figures leave encashment when he switched job and his ex-company paid him a performance bonus (or commission so as to say) in another 6 figures. Wow … that is a lot of money!

I was sharing with him how I have upgraded my PC and that I am considering getting a Plama TV. Our discussion went wild and if I am to upgrade my PC’s power supply (as a matter of time) and if I am to use my Hi-Fi and Plasma TV to play game … the power consumption would be … my PC (600W), Plasma TV (350W), and Hi-Fi (200W) … a total of closed to 1,200W of power! Well, to help you imagine, when the iron is on, it consumes 1,200W of power and the iron will go off once it is hot enough. My new entertainment system won’t.
