LOST

I feel very lost right now.

After Ugly Betty's season ended, along with my many other korean, hong kong, american...bla bla bla series, I felt totally lost!
Would you be kind enough to introduce me to a new series? NO, I'm NOT interested in Gossip girl, OC, One Tree Hill, Lost or ANY Taiwanese drama.

Anyway, I'm watching movies most of the time now to fill in the gap until I found the perfect drama to follow.
One of the few movies that I absolutely love....
Mr Vampire

I finally found the website to watch all these old hong kong vampire movies!!!

Click here

Totally awesome and hilarious! The sound effects are just so funny!!!

Don't you just love seeing the oriental vampire jumping around trying to suck human's blood???It's funny how they can just freeze when someone sticks some inscribed yellow paper on the head. I remember back in the days doing this to my cousins when I had no strength to fight back. I would write STOP then stick the paper on their forehead with my saliva! Doesn't really work...usually they would get more aggravated and chase me even more fiercely!



I assure you...it's not scary. I'm not one who likes horror movies, but this 'horror' movie is definitely worth watching!

3 minute song

Just recently I found this contemporary christian singer, Josh Wilson. His songs are just the type I like. His voice reminds me of Kris Allen. There's this particular song I can listen to for like a billion times.



3 minutes song

I tried to write a song
And keep it 3 minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I tried a thousand times
To fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work

I just don't have the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can't define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I've got is a 3 minute song

I've got a hundred metaphors
And if I had a million more
I could never ever seem to sum this up
Besides, how can some melody
Communicate eternity
It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

I'll never find the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords or maybe 4
But I've tried and I can't and I won't cause there will always be more

So I apologize
I can't seem to get it right

Britain's Got Talent Live Tour


It was AWESOME!!!

I'm so in love with the show~

I was sitting WAY behind, so I couldn't see very clearly but it was definitely still WORTH IT~


DJ Talent started the show. He was really shinny!

When I say 'BRITAIN', you say 'TALENT'. Britain's got talent, it is the DJ TALENT!
He had everyone shouting along with him. It was really funny!
My friends were so excited that he was there. He didn't made it into the finals yet made an appearance.

Another semifinalist who was there...
Darth Jackson

His dance was so so..but he had FLAWLESS to be his backup dancers dressed in the white suits!

We were hoping to see the human saxophone. When I say we..I meant the guys, Z and Justin. I thought the human saxophone is like the greatest joke to Scotland. He told Simon, "I think this is what Simon has been looking for. You can't stop the trend!" LOL! But he was not there...



How can this be a talent? Almost everyone can blow their nose to a tune. But he has GUTS!


My favourite act for the night would have to be
SHAUN SMITH


rugby player/singer

When he went on stage..I felt like I was 16 again!

When the host introduced him, he said that he had Biology exams a few days after the BGT show. Asked if any girls out there would want to be his Biology tutor...Woah...I JUMPED FROM MY SEAT AND STARTED WAVING FRANTICALLY SCREAMING FOR ATTENTION!!!wuahahahaha...It was totally impulse!

His voice was so AWESOME! He sang like 3 songs, 2 from his audition and semifinal performance then a new song. I was so totally melted by his voice..I felt he was singing to me alone~

I must admit my love for music is very shallow..mostly depended on the apperance of the person making the music...but I thought Julian Smith the REAL saxophone player was really good.


The sensation was totally different LIVE compared to listening on tele. He deserved to be No.3



Stavros Flatley

This duo is really amazing. I think what they need to do is to maintain fat! Love their great sense of humour.



FLAWLESS

They were really good. In fact, I feel they were not given enough credit. They were awesome. Their technic and dance skills might I say...are better than DIVERSITY. They made good usage of the stage space, the flips and all..they were great! I believe it's just that they lose out in choreography and the music effects.



I didn't love 2 grand. It just happened that the grandpa is a sweet person. I was devasted when they made it into the finals instead of Callum.






Shaheen
was adorable. But I thought he was shouting most of the time...And he couldn't maintain the high voice constantly but who could say no to his lovable dimples?




I love AIDAN DAVIS

There's this part when the host asked to see the audience's banners. Then there's this little girl with a banner "I heart Aidan". Then she was asked to go on stage. The host kept the banner. Then after Aidan's performance, the host asked the girl to go on stage again. Said wanna return her banner, then Aidan came out with the banner...the girl RAN while SCREAMING..then hugged MY Aidan Davis. People were cheering..HA! I don't even wanna clap my hands! JEALOUS!!!!





DIVERSITY being the big winner for BGT they perform a couple of times.

I love Perri..the cute guy with huge hair!


There's an act where the 4 of the youngest boys, 2 from diversity including my Perri, Aidan Davis and Shaheen performed together. Shaheen sang while the other 3 were dancing. It was SO SO SO CUTE!!!

Hollie Steel was really really really good. She improved SO much. She was dancing and swinging around the stage while singing. Her voice drowned out the grand daughter from 2 grand when they were performing together. She's just magic!


Not forgetting
SUSAN BOYLE

She's just such an inspiration.
Glasgow cheered SO loudly for her. The uncle sitting next to us was grinning from ear to ear when she went on and he was shouting and screaming for her. I'm like OMG! Imagine my grandpa was there screaming for maybe erm...Faye Wong? It just tickles me!

My friends..meaning the guys, don't really like Susan Boyle. Even before hand, they said they wanted to go there and BOO her. True enough, they did it...I was freaking scared. I looked around, we're the only chinese I see in the entire centre..and EVERYBODY loves Susan Boyle.
Anyhow, she was mesmerizing.

Speedy SCANDAL!

To be honest, my mood has been the lowest for the past week than it has ever been for as long as I can remember. Anyway, I found true friends who were there when I truly needed them! Thank you thank you!!!

Anyway one of my friends tried to cheer me up by asking me to watch this crazy comedy. I was really LOLing throughout the whole movie!

SPEEDY SCANDAL!


Sounded like some kinda very hamsup show. But I assure you it's not! hehe...

Must watch!



The 3 main character really portray the roles really really well! I love the kid the most! My standing ovation to the kid. He's really talented. Who would guessed that at such a young age, he'll be able to do such a good job at it. I think this kid is like 7-8years old max..and he has such mature acting skills.




















Basically the whole story is bout this man in his late 30s who's a well-known DJ. Then suddenly a young girl turned up at his door step with her son claiming she's his daughter who was concieved on his 1st time which was way back in his highschool years. Being a celebrity, he tried to chase away her daugther and grandson away, to avoid any scandals but then she threatened to go to the tabloids..bla bla bla.Anyway..cutting the long story short..they lived happily ever after!


I love the way Wang Suk Hyun(grandson) sleep walk at night! hahahaha...



My fav scene is when the 'grandpa' was playing the card game 'go stop' with the grandson.

The grandson was winning all his money. Then he had to resort to cheating by hiding one of the power cards when the grandson went to the toilet. Then, he had to distract the grandson from seeing him retrieve the hidden card. Being a noob, he got caught..then this classic smug from the grandson!!!


AWESOME!

Totally lifted up my mood!

MUST WATCH!!!
I find mysoju very clear!

Flat scam/money transfer

I'm currently looking for a new place to move into. Then I found this too-good-to-be-true flat..

the master bedroom


2nd bedroom


living room


dining room



toilet


kitchen



computer corner


All this for 450£ and it's located in Byres Road!?! Byres Road is like the most happening road for university students. The flats there are way overpriced! No way it can be 450£

This is too surreal so I discussed with my friend bout it. And we said we'll not pay anything until we get to see the flat and confirm that he's the real owner. So I emailed back to him stating that I'm definitely interested then his reply...


From: moss frank (mynewhome4u@live.com)

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and interest in my flat,I'd love to have you visit my apartment but due to recent inconveniences caused by wanna be tenants who I have invited for viewing and turned out to be time waster.I have decided to know your readiness and capability before inviting you for the viewing. I currently work in Manchester which is the the main reason I want to let my flat out. I'll need to take a day off from work in order to be able to come down Glasgow to show you the flat.Before coming down to show you the apartment.I will need to be sure of your readiness and capability i.e if you will be able to pay for month rent plus security deposit (£450+£600=£1050).Therefore, I will want you to make a transfer of a month rent plus security deposit (£450+£600=£1050) by going to the closest money gram or western union outlet to you with a friend or someone close to you and make the transfer as the sender and your friend as the receiver or any of your family members and you can also make them as the sender and you be the receiver so that when you arrive for the viewing and you are ok with the flat then we proceed by signing the contract/tenancy agreement form and handover the keys to you and we go to the closest money gram outlet closer to my flat to pick up the money and you pay me hand to hand as i will be ready to show you the flat and have your receipt and tenement agreement form ready as soon as i get the receipt of the transfer you made to yourself via Moneygram or western union from the post office that show that you really make the transfer and it is avaiIable to be pick up by you and have got the cash at hand to start the tenement renting of my flat . I do not want you to have the feeling that I'm asking for money before you see what you are renting because I know that payment is meant to be done after you have seen the Flat and okay with it but most tenants I have invited for the viewing, is either they cannot afford the rent or security deposit that's why I want to be sure before coming down to show you the flat. This is the reason you are not doing the transfer into my account and to let you have confidence that your money is safe and God forbide if anything happens to your money you can easily go to my bank to lodge complain in order to have your money back but I'm assuring you that everything is gonna be alright ok.. If you are ok with this arrangement you can let me know so that you can make the transfer with a family or close friend and once it's confirmed I will come down to show you the flat. You will need to scan the copy of the deposit slip to me as a prove.And to let you know.I will want you get back to me if you are ok with this arrangement so that we can proceed.I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Moss.


Honestly I had a similar case with another guy Barry. But I was having exams back then and I didn't have time to do so and it sounded fishy. So I dismissed Mr Barry. Then I thought it's too weird that a same case would happen. So I tried googling "western union scam flat rent"

True enough..it's all SCAM! FRAUD! LIARS!!! You shall LIE NO MORE!!!


From BBC Watchdog

So how is the scam working?
It's thought scammers use the details on the receipt sent to them to create a fake ID in order to pick up the money. The scammers' email addresses were traced back to Nigeria so they may even be receiving the money from one of the 320,000 Western Union branches around the world and not even from the UK.

Tom Craig is a counter fraud expert. He's not surprised that the scammers have taken advantage of Western Union as the scammers can't be traced: "Basically it's moving cash. You can't really identify the end receiver. Although you should but you can't. It's just like giving cash away."

Western Union told Watchdog that it's important that customers "observe the clear guidance and don't share private information such as transaction numbers or copies of the documentation related to a person to person money transfer with any other party".

Western Union stresses that although it does, with police, investigate all reported cases of fraud, it can't refund any money that's been stolen. It's confident it has a "robust fraud prevention programme" in place, but points out that consumers "are and always will be the first and best line of defence against consumer fraud, especially when it comes to protecting and safeguarding their personal data and identity information".



Lesson of the day: Use your bRAINEea!!!
