Candice Foo pulled out from Singapore Idol citing she was not ready for showbusiness etc. Sad to see her go.*sob* I was rooting for her. I did think she had the looks and talent to go far.But I guess she knows whats to do in her best interest.*sigh*
I do like Maia though. The little dynamo has spunk and attitude. Think she is my favourite from now on. Maybe I will jinx her too. :P
Also deserving of special mention are Daphne and Leandra.
Oh my...Jessea Thyidor is one hot mama.*pant pant*
Wassup Britney. Once upon a time Britney was the Princess of Pop.Now she is like a media whore.Think she lost the plot somewhere along the line.
On the other hand Christina has come good all of a sudden.She is the face of MTV's Choose or Lose special and "Sex, Votes, and Higher Power".In it she addresses issues of teen sex, abortion, abstinence, domestic violence — and urges kids to get out there and vote! The winds are a changin'..
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Watched it with the office gang. A must-see. Ben Stiller is hilarious.Not laughed so much since...since...since...moving on..

Don't Man U look great now.Rio Ferdinand,Wayne Rooney and Ruud Van Nistlerooy are back.Man U are back to winning ways. I miss the days when we could hand their asses to them.*sigh* those were the days...
Ten is looking for a Dachshund.
They are highly adaptable to living with humans.
For some reason they seem to like Christmas very much...
Doxies are known to be quite romantic.
Though they may come across as quite wooden at times... 
From a young age they show themselves to be rather 'handy' to have around.
So if anyone has any 'lobang' for one of them doxies do let me know.

On the subject of Dachshund's, here are a couple of jokes:
Four men were bragging about how smart their dogs are. The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist, the fourth was a Government Worker.
To show off, the Engineer called to his German Shepard. "T-square, do your stuff." T-square trotted over to a desk, took out some paper and a pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his Collie could do better. He called his dog and said, "Spreadsheet, do your stuff." Spreadsheet went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each. Everyone agreed that was good.
But the Chemist said his Chocolate Lab could do better. He called his dog and said, "Measure, do your stuff." Measure got up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop. Everyone agreed that was good.
Then the three men turned to the Government Worker and said, "What can your dog do?" The Government Worker called to his Dachshund and said, "Coffee Break, do your stuff." Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, pooped on the paper, had his way with the other three dogs and claimed he injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for Workers Compensation and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.

Upon entering a little country store, a stranger noticed a sign on the door that read "DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG!" Inside he noticed a harmless old Dachshund asleep on the floor besides the cash register.
He asked the store manager, "Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?" "Yep, that's him," the manager replied. The stranger couldn't help but be amused.
"That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me," he said. "Why in the world would you post that sign?"
"Because," the manager replied, "before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him."

A man runs into the vet's office carrying his Dachshund, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his Dachshund down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells the man that his Dachshund, regrettable, is dead.
The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.
The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the Dachshund's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the Dachshund's body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says,
"I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your Dachshund is dead too."
The man is still unwilling to accept that his Dachshund is dead. The vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your Dachshund is dead too."
The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes.
The vet answers, "$650.
"$650 to tell me my Dachshund is dead?" exclaimed the man.
"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the Cat scan and Lab tests."
.........................................................................
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dachshund along for company. One day, the dachshund started chasing butterflies into the jungle, and before long he was lost.
Wandering about, he saw a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. "I'm in deep trouble now!" the dachshund thought. Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and settled down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.
Just as the leopard was about to leap, the dachshund exclaimed loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here? "Hearing this, the leopard halted his attack in mid-stride, terrified, and slunk away into the jungle. "Whew," said the leopard., "That was close. That dachshund nearly got me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figured he could put this knowledge to good use and trade it to the leopard for protection. So off he went after the leopard with great speed. The monkey soon caught up with the leopard, spilled the beans and struck a deal for himself. The leopard was furious at being made a fool of and said, "Here monkey, hop on my back and watch what happens to that conniving canine."
Now the dachshund saw the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sat down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hadn't seen them. And when they get close enough to hear, the dachshund said, "Where's that monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

How Dachshunds and Men are the same:
1. Both take up too much space on the bed.
2. Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaning.
3. Both mark their territory.
4. Neither tells you what's bothering them.
5. The smaller ones tend to be more nervous.

7. Neither does any dishes.
8. Both fart shamelessly.
9. Neither of them notice when you get your hair cut.
10. Both like dominance games.

3. Doxies feel guilty when they've done something wrong.
4. Doxies admit when they're jealous.
5. Doxies are very direct about wanting to go out.
6. Doxies do not play games with you-except fetch (and they never laugh at how you throw.)

4. Be aware of when to hold your tongue, and when to use it.
5. Leave room in your schedule for a good nap.
6. Always give people a friendly greeting. A cold nose in the crotch is most effective.

(as soon as you're dragged shamefully out from under the bed).
8. If it's not wet and sloppy, it's not a real kiss.
