Life has been totally uneventful, even to the point of being boring.
This is the tradeoff I guess.
However I'm still grateful for everything.

Stephen Gately
Boyzone star Stephen Gately dies in Majorca.
Oh my god.
All right, he's gay but I used to like him during his boyzone days (my primary school days). I used to think he was the cutest amongst the lot.
This is truly shocking. He was only 33.
Totally didn't know about this till someone posted the news link on facebook.
RIP Stephen. :\

Flirting, heroes, GG and vampires
I always enjoyed reading Sumiko Tan's articles. She always seemed to talk about topics that I can relate to, read: pending spinsterhood (and embracing it).
On yesterday's Sunday times' lifestyle, she talked about flirting with the bak chor mee man, as well as flirting on networking sites such as facebook, myspace etc. She thinks flirting is good but is it wrong to flirt when you are happily married/attached etc? Even on cyberspace. But that doesn't apply to me cos I'm happily/unhappily single (I can't decide). But I suck at the art of flirting IRL. I don't think I can ever excel in that in real life towards a guy I fancy. I won't even look straight at his eyes.
Anyway, may I add that there is another avenue for flirting. Evony. Hah. Recently I engaged in some harmless flirting with this brit from my alliance. Recent as in 2 weeks ago. He kind of started it first and I played along. Words are perhaps easier as typed out on screen vs actual flirting done in person. BUT due to our timezone difference, it's hard to catch him online and thus I haven't been able to catch him online for the last 2 weeks (anw 1 week I was away in Japan). Kinda missing his humor. Hmm. The Americans are always around. Due to our 12 hours' difference, i.e. their 9am is our 9pm, hence they are always around to chat with. And some of them sleep crazy hours. However, my nameless brit loves to log on at 12am London time which is like 7am SG time...so bleah. Oh and he's kinda cute as seen on the profile pic posted on our alliance forum. ;)

Back to Heroes S4. It sucks. The first 3 episodes couldn't redeem themselves from S3's shitty ending. The storyline was sloppily done. There don't seem to be a focus unlike S1 and S2 where we know there is THE COMPANY/Pinehurst behind all the crap. But now I don't even know who's pulling the strings. The mysterious carnival guy doesn't interest me much. Did Claire's roomie really commit suicide? Not explained. Sorry, Claire Bennett's free fall test doesn't explain why she didn't see the suicide note earlier. Syler has become an irritant who's always hovering in the background. Not to mention, Nathan Petrelli (who's actually Syler) seems redundant at this point in time. Come on writers, save the show!
Gossip Girl Season 3. Un-interesting too. The only reason why I watch GG is cos of Blair Waldolf's fashion. Which is the only saving grace at the moment. I used to watch GG also because Chace Crawford is cute BUT Nathaniel Archibald is............I'm speechless. All he does is hook up with girls and doesn't contribute even to the teeniest of the plot. Totally irrelevant and out-of-point casting.
The Vampire Diaries 3 is too teen angst-ridden. The brooding good vampire vs the evil vampire. And the heroine who couldn't decide which brother she prefers. I think I'll take Twilight any day even though twilight sucks too. Okay I think the best vamp movie I saw so far has to be The Interview with the Vampire. Love the book too and Brad Pitt kicks ass as Louis although Tom Cruise came across as a little short for the role of Lestat.
I'm still watching the above cos I'm bored, I need entertainment......hope Taiwan comes up with some good dramas soon as I enjoyed the previous 败犬女王.
