A hair cut and a Mooncake

Well, today's my off day again and my routine on this day repeats itself. Woke up in the morning, went for a hair cut (everytime I got a hair cut, it just doesn't seem right), deposit money into my checking account, bought lunch, *free time*, dinner time with Sky, and back home. Maybe I am used to this routine so it never gets boring. Of course, I hope something exciting will happen but life is as dull as a faded chalkboard.

Anyway, one of my auntie roomies gave me a mooncake. It was a kind gesture and I really appreciate it. She gave me a double yolk one (which is my favorite of all) but I haven't eat it yet (maybe for supper tonight). Kind of miss the days when I was young with my siblings. During the mooncake festival, we will light candles outside the porch and carry lanterns around. It was a good adventure taking that lantern and walk one big round along the dark corridors of my auntie's house. Of course, I was afraid of ghosts at that time (so am I now) but I try my best cause I am the eldest >.<''

So for today, I got a hair cut and a mooncake. Not exactly something big to be excited over, but well, at least it's something...

America's Got Talent Semi-Finals

Finally, the top 20 acts for the semifinals have been chosen. They are:

Acrodunk, Kevin Skinner, Grandma Lee, Drew Thomas Magic, Arcadian Broad, Tony and Rory, Paradizo Dance, Texas Tenors, Voices of Glory, Fab Five, Lawrence Beamen, Hairo Torres, Jeffrey Ou, Mario and Jenny, Footworkingz, Recycled Percussions, Eriam Sisters, Drew Stevyns, Barbara Padilla, and Erik and Rickie.

Personally, I think the selection is not too bad except there are too many singers. As usual, singing acts are a favorite among many people. Here, I would like to give my opinion on the judges reaction on Jeffrey Ou's qualification. What is with the exaggerated and shocked expression when he was selected, especially Sharon? Against Bri, I think he got a pretty good chance of winning. Besides, it's not his fault that one of the dancers accidentally kicked the audio cable out, making the last half of the performance inaudible. I am really happy that America voted him back. I personally think he has talent.

Anyway, kinda looking forward to next week's semifinals. It's gonna be an intense one. Will update when the finalists are chosen two weeks from now.

Destination Truth Season 3

Wow! Finally! Destination Truth is back!

For its 3rd season, one of my favorite shows on TV will be back on the screen on 09/09/09 (September 9th, 2009). Destination Truth is a show following explorer, Josh Gates with his team of researchers to exotic locations around the world investigating cyrptozoological stuff and paranormal activities. This show is exactly what I would love. With his sense of humor, his knowledge, and his courageous acts, Josh Gates is fun to watch. Besides, I think the viewers can learn a lot about the different places that they will travel to.

In the 3rd season, they will explore: (Details found on the Net)

- A mystery in Alaska
- A mystery in Florida (something in the Everglades maybe)
- The ghost towns of Chernobyl
- Lake mystery in Eastern Turkey
- The Bermuda Triangle (wow!)
- A return to the Himalayan mountains for another look at the Yeti (the first one was fun)
- World's first overnight exploration of King Tut's cursed tomb (world's first?!! cool..)
- Pitch-black dives in ancient Caribbean caves (can't wait for this one)

So I can't really wait till September 9th for this show to start. I was hooked to this show after i watched one of the episodes. I still remember it was about a haunted mosque in Kuala Lumpur (the capital city of my hometown, Malaysia). Anyway, if you are a fan of cryptozoology or paranormal, check this show out. This show beats Monster Quest hands down by the way. Really hate the re-enactments of the events in Monster Quest. Looks stupid to me. Kudos to Destination Truth...

Red Eye

As of late, the heat is still killing me. Everytime on my off day when I am at home, I felt like being trapped in a sauna room with no way out. Oh, the heat....Somebody please put an end to this madness...

Besides that, my left eye seems to be affected by dust or something. It has been four days now with the redness appearing everytime I woke up, and then it gets better towards the night. This cycle has been repeating for four days. I have tried applying eye drops but it can seem to recover completely. Maybe my room has too much dust >.<

What i really want now is to hope that my eye gets better. When I am not feeling well, it is hard for me to concentrate on the more important tasks I have at hand. Please be well...

乱了

最近不知道走什么烂桃花运，莫名其妙有人在 Facebook 喜欢上我，还跟我表白。真可惜我们就从来没有见过面，认识也只是在网路上而已。或许我们只能当朋友吧。

而我，最近对一个女人残生了感觉。她是一个我不该去喜欢的女人。原因有很多，只是不能在这里公布。我也不知道感觉从哪里来，或许是被人家多说了，我也被影像了。其实她人是不错的，只是。。。唉，真是难言。

无论如何，如果真正要走桃花运的话，请让我走一个好的啦。拜托拜托。。。

Carom Cafe

Today was another off day as usual, woke up in the morning, ate lunch, took an afternoon nap... and woke up to a call from my friend, Sky around 7.40pm. We went for dinner together at our usual haunt, and for the first time in Flushing, we decided to do something. Usually after a meal, we just went home but today is different. I suggested we go play pool and off we go looking for the place that I wanted to go for some time but never had the chance to.

We reached Carom Cafe around 9.05pm. I always pass by this place but never went in. As we check out the place, I think it's a pretty cool one. There are pool tables, ping pong tables, poker tables, and even a small game room. There are also several tables for what I call the 'Korean pool' because the tables are the same size with the pool tables except they have no holes. Until now, I can't understand the game as the players keep hitting the ball around. Looks boring to me anyway. After checking out the place, we got ourselves a table and off we start...

Sky's skill in pool is better than I thought. Or maybe I have lost my touch I don't know. Haven't played this game in a while but that's not a good excuse. Sky got a lead ahead of me by winning 4-2 games. Luckily for me, I managed to caught up back to 4-4 (8 games) but the time is up. Not wanting to waste more money for that extra time, we packed up and paid at the counter. It was a tie game today but it was fun. Not to mention the cute Korean girl in front of the counter. After that, we went home and after taking a shower, here I am writing this entry...Anyway, it's not a bad day after all~~
