Taylor Swift trumps Jay Chou!

Oh wow. Taylor Swift is crazy beautiful. And, she's crazy talented.

And she's only 18, what the heck!

You know, when it comes to music, I hardly venture beyond the typical rock/pop kind of thing. I have never, never really liked country music, but whoa, Taylor Swift is goooooood.

I was watching her stuff on YouTube, and frankly I wish I was half as talented as her, man.

Or sing half as well.

Or half as beauuutiful.

LOL in a weird stalker way, I watched all of her videos because she's too breathtakingly beautiful to not want to watch her.

She's down to earth, too. I mean, can you believe at the Grammy's red carpet, when a TV presenter came up to her to do a mini interview, she actually went, "Hi, I'm Taylor"? Pffft. Who doesn't know?

I feel like I'm halfway to being stalker.

Speaking of watching things, I just watched one of the worst movies I could ever possibly watch.

It was baaaaaaaad! It stars Jay Chou, it is called 'Kung Fu Dunk'.

I only watched it because me companions wanted to, and it is so crazy corny you wonder if they are going for the satirical corny, or the I-think-my-viewers-are-unintelligent corny.

During SAM last year, we were lounging about at the cafeteria and Esther said that Chinese movies are stupid because they try so hard to deliberately make things happen.

Like, if they wanted a sad story, they'd have someone die suddenly, only they will die of a completely illogical illness, but that's okay in a Chinese movie, I mean, as long as someone dies, and it's sad.


In 'Kung Fu Dunk', winning basketball matches seem to be everything for these people. I mean, the captain of Jay Chou's team is always drinking alcohol, always in that "take a swig from bottle, wipe mouth with back of hand, and stare menacingly at the camera" way. Very lame la.

And towards the second half of the show, this alcoholic's sister explains that it is because he once lost a basketball game to his arch rival (because his hands were trembling uncontrollably during the match), and he has become depressed ever since.

Where got people so stupid, please! Lose a sports match, become forever depressed, must consume alcohol every minute of the day?

It's also really lame that his hands tremble only during the most critical moments. Like when it's down to the last few seconds of the game. Then he decides to sit it out and let Jay Chou take the court, and suddenly his hands very normal again.

What the heck. It is even more stupid than Stephen Chou's 'CJ7'.

(I respect Jay Chou as a musician, do not flame me please!)

(And boy do we know Jay Chou's fans are a passionate bunch.)


It seems that lately a lot of movies have been disappointing.

Even 'Sweeney Todd', man. I had high expectations of that!

I'll probably have to go put on my 'Lord of the Rings' DVDs just to get a good movie to watch.


Lord of the Rings never disappoints.

WELCOME!

Sit back, put your feet up, and read whatever ramblings of Chooiyen.

Grab a cuppa while you're at it, too.
Because Chooiyen has got a lot to say!

Why do I have huge fonts?
It makes for an easier read, d'oh.


Apparently, huge fonts are ugly. *Shrugs
