I stumbled upon an article today (Source: The New Paper) regarding American Idol 9 and how they are comparing it to past Idol alumni contestants. Here's one comparing Aaron Kelly and David Archuleta.



What do you think? In a way, I agree. There can only be one and only DAVID ARCHULETA. Haha!

Looking Ahead

Hello!

Today, I went to see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It is wicked awesome! It is very Harry Potter-ish so I love tat kind of genre of fantasy and of course special effects. Haha! The main actor, Logan Lerman is pretty good and he kinda reminds me of Zac Efron, but he looks more mature (not sure if that's a good or bad thing to girls). I can see he can venture a lot into the movie industry. Anyway, there's humour, love, friendship, bravery, family and down-to-earth traits wrapped all in one. Pretty good entertainment!

Speaking of which, the posters are really awesome. Should I purchase them? Haha! Problem. I don't have much space on my walls for another poster. Hmm. How about a slightly smaller one? Haha! I also didn't know this was an adaptation from a book series and turns out there are 4 more stories to tell. Haha! Looking forward to more Percy Jackson on the big screen!

So, I have been thinking about this year and the things that I'm looking forward to. Here are some I can think of right now.

1. David Archuleta's sophomore album
2. Jojo's new album
3. Iron Man 2 movie
4. Toy Story 3 trailer
5. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 movie
6. New American Idol
   
7. Change? Well in something but not sure what.

I'll add more when I think of more. Haha!

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Concerts, Money and Age

Yo yo!

First off, if you noticed anything different about this blog, of course it's the header on top. Haha! It's time for a change since it's been there for a quite a while since last year. It features 3 of my favourite Idol singers, Carrie Underwood, Kris Allen and of course, my favourite of all, David Archuleta! Haha! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Well, speaking of Kris Allen, he came down to Singapore yesterday to hold a concert at Zirca Megaclub at Clarke Quay. If you have not known, he's the first American Idol winner to hold a solo concert here. Well, I know Carrie Underwood came down here before to perform in conjunction of the official opening of Ion Orchard some time before. That may not sound like a concert to them (I don't know whether they know) but to me it is. A whole set of 10 songs or so during that free night concert was so worth it. Haha. What's more, I rushed down there after booking out of camp with an expensive cab fare and battling heavy traffic, thinking it might too be late. Thank goodness I was just in time! Such fond memories. :D

Oh where was I? Oh I was sidetracked. Haha! Anyway, I missed the opportunity to attend Kris' concert as first of all I was broke and secondly, my work schedule was not out yet some days before the concert so I was not sure if I had work on that day. And it turned out I was free on that night. Sigh. Oh well. I hope he comes back again for another concert. From the online videos, it looked like an awesome concert! Here's my favourite. He had fun on stage with his fans!



Don't you notice that money matters today? It doesn't matter what it's used for. It is still needed for our needs and wants, particularly needs. Sometimes, we focus too much on our needs that our wants are neglected and thus, there is not enough money to buy our wants. Well you can see an example from here, the Kris Allen concert tickets. Haha! Just when the opportunity was there, another setback arose. Money.

Honestly, it's hard to survive in this world without money and to get money, we need education. So kids, if you have the chance to study, don't waste it. It'll definitely help you find a job and of course earn money.

So lesson learnt. Back up a portion of your money for certain wants although the needs are the first priority. Haha! What do I mean? Savings of course. Also, I guess I have to make wiser choices when spending, no doubt. I know I'm guilty like buying a costly movie poster for myself last month (The Blind Side. LOVE IT). But hey, it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so I guess it's alright. Still, balance is key. LOL.

I don't believe I'm turning 21 this year. Am I that old already? Honestly, I still feel like I'm 18 or something. I don't know. Maybe I still feel like a kid inside. Haha!

Well, I shall stop here. Until here then! Bye! Nash out! :D
