Just watched the first episode of American Idol season ? with my siblings. Ryan secrest was at his usual best. American Idol is reality Tv at its best. It's where we can see the the vulnerability of the contestants. It's disheartening to see ppl enter the room with dreams of making it big and coming out of it broken and rejected. Anyone; rockers,nerds,prima donnas, etc are all in the same boat. No categorization. The three judges(in todays case four including special guest Jewel) hold their future. I wonder how many of the contestants were relly hurt by the comments. These ppl may be good. But one slip-up and their hopes are dashed. Maybe even forever for those who cant beat the pain of singing again in public.

I juz wished that somehow or another simon and gang would be kinder to some of those who failed. These contestants come with a sincere belief and hope that they could make it through. And,WHAM!! 5 minutes later,after audition,gone. It's quite touching to see some of them break down and cry and some looking really beat down and rejected...my heart really goes out to those rejected ones. Kudos to them for trying and for being so brave to stand out in front of live tv.

It just shows how vulnerable we humans can be. How emotional can one get. Don't all of us yearn for that bit of encouragement and praise? I wonder which human can spend his whole being without a kind word added in. But, i admit that i sumtimes laugh at the antics of some of the contestants. Even though i feel sorry for most of the rejected ones, i just cant stand some of them who goes dere for their 5 minutes of fame. Those ppl know dat they cant get in, but they do so just for the fame and glory(frequency cannon (: )....for those ppl, i save my sympathy.

On other news, im currently working 7 days a week. Haiz. Getting kinda mundane being a waiter. But i hear that there's a 1 day break every 2 weeks. So im hoping to cut some slack. Maybe can get some of the youth to head up to melacca for a day.

In other news, i bought a pair of fakie crocs sandals a few days ago. After buying them only realised that the holes on top of them are soooo fake that they're all focus on 1 side of the sandal and nt spreading around like the original ones. Wasted my 12.90 haha. But at least i have some rubber sandals to wear at work cuz my feet tend to get wet often and my fakie crocs can dry up fast.
