Miss Universe 2007

and of course everyone knows...goes to Miss Japan.

This year's Miss Japan

she's okay, but I prefer last year's Miss Japan- Miss Universe 2006 1st runner up

Last Year's Miss Japan.

Korea and Japan were both in the top 5.

I think Miss Korea is actually prettier than Miss Japan

not until I saw how she had an extreme makeover.

look at her highschool picture! compare her eyes there with the ones at the bottom.

small ---> big , thanks to the wonders of make up and ...probably, photoshop.

1st runner up was...

Miss Brazil


wow wow this picture makes my blog look like a.... ...

anyway now I know why Donald Trump likes her.

alright let's take a look at other contestants.

how about... Miss Malaysia and Singapore.

Let's start with.. Miss Malaysia...

Oops sorry wrong one.

There you go... Miss Malaysia! not that pretty this year though.

Now.. Miss Singapore.

hmmm.. I'll leave it for Maurice to comment about his own country.
Let's move to China.

Miss China ...

Look how thick her eyebrows are!

Melina, China needs you.

Miss Phillipines won Miss Photogenic.

Yeah she's pretty.

This year's Miss Universe is held in Mexico. So let's have a look at Miss Mexico.

good for lipstick ad. Tara Banks would love her.

and lastly. . . the catch of Miss Universe... not how Miss USA fell down, but the very special
Miss Tanzania.

I guess most of you will be laughing now, but hey she has great personality. That's what the judges like about her.

Her interview :

What do you want the judges to know about you?

I am an electrical technician by profession as well as a top model in my country. I never let anyone define me neither by hair nor clothing as I believe God made me perfect as a pure, natural African woman.

She got into top 10! Congratulations!

Picture of the day- resemblance

Can you see the resemblance between the Telstra ad boy and Peter Loke from our church?

Ayrton Senna- the best F1 driver in history.

Yes

" I support Ferarri! Go Michael!"

" no more Michael? okay Kimi then, still ferarri, Go Kimi!"

"oOooo Button is one hot one....go Button!"

"wow he's black! GO HAMILTON!"



but no one can take over Ayrton Senna position.


I really do highly respect Senna. Skills wise, he is better than Schumacher, and character wise, he is much better than any of the F1 drivers these days- to sum up, to me, Senna is the best F1 driver in history.


Looking back at his racing videos really touched my heart today, and of course, hurted me so much when I saw his fatal crash back in 1994 during the San Marino Grand Prix.

as seen here.

Schumacher won that race and LOOK AT HIS FACE. HE WAS SMILING FOR HIS VICTORY AFTER SENNA DIED

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2mqzX0-4ck

but luckily he has feelings over here- 10 years after Senna's death. but look at his brother's face when schumacher cried, secretly ralf was laughing. sigh what's wrong with the schumacher family.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOQjYCwgLdE

anyway...

Senna started his F1 career at 1984, even before I was born, he became a formula one star during his first win during the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix. 65 pole positions, 41 wins, and 3 championships in 10 years- if he had a chance to continue his career, Michael would have a tough competitor.


One thing that really touched me is his heart.


Despite being famous, he is humble. He really has the heart for others.


For eg- during one race, the car infront of him crashed. what would you do as a F1 driver being in this competitive race? Ignore the accident and go on! But for Senna, it's not all about winning. He quickly stopped his car, got out and saved that guy.

as seen in this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXii-QJn0Zw



Track officials also found a bloodsoaked Austrian victory flag in his car- he was going to raise in honour of Austrian Roland Ratzenberger, who had died on that track the day before.


also....after Senna's death it was discovered that he had donated millions of dollars of his personal fortune to children charaties, a fact that during his life he had kept secret.



In conclusion, just as Frank Williams said " he was an even greater man outside of the car than he was in it."

One of my favourite quote from him-

"If you have a target in your life, a real target, doesn't matter if you are very poor or rich people, if you work hard and believe in God, you can get the success, success in the life." - Ayrton Senna.

Odd spot of the day.

Besides having quotes, bible verse and picture of the day, Libra gave me the inspiration of adding an "odd spot of the day"

Thus, today's odd spot is

"Mozart wrote "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" when he was 5 years old.

quite random, but as i thought about it....

I reckon, there will be only 5 out of 17 people in my ESL class who knows how to sing "twinkle twinkle little star" in English. hey fun! my new taks- I'll do a survey on Monday.

melina, do you know how to sing twinkle twinkle little star? lol.

quote of the day- Jack.

For us, having period each month is always a bad thing- this is when the bad mood, stomach pain, headache comes ---> can't study, can't eat cold food etc.

but for Jack,
" Every month when my girlfriend's period comes, we'll go out and celebrate."- Jack

a quote that I remembered since last year. lol.

better not let him know that i quoted him, if not i'll get bash up at box hill.

blog in one minute

just so that I can continue studying, I'll try to write as much as possible in this one minute.

This is what i did today.
1. haven't taken my shower for two days but will later.
2. went late by 10 minutes for worship practice today.
3. went for dim sum with grace. she told me not to enroll for ernst and young's cadetship- no point earning the money and securring the job that would prevent you from enjoying the most out of your uni life, quite true, maybe i won't enroll then.
4. dad said that we're going to singapore and HONG KONG for holiday this year end, probably on the 23rd before Christmas..yayyyyyyy!!
5. still planning on where to go with that voucher that I won. Fiji? Bangkok? Queensland? or just great ocean road? I want t...

oopsie times up. can't write anymore. I'll end today with a bible verse.

Oh Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago- Isaish 25:1

What are cousins for?

Cousins are there so that you can.. .....

get them to help you advertise your designed produt...

or use their face for your red cross advertisment.

and of course, draw wonderful pictures to help you illustrate the quotes during your oral presentation.





Some people might not like to take picture with you,

but cousins never say no.

they say yes again,

and again.....

and again..


and again...


and again...



and again...
over and over again...



It never ends!



I have heaps of cousins to thank. But I want to take this opportunity to specially thank my cousin, Arnold, who lightens up my life everyday.Without you, I'll definitely lose my lala roots. No one to act with, eat with, talk with, laugh with- my life becomes as dull as it can be.

Quote of the day- Pat

Pat, i'm glad that you learnt a valuable lesson about mascarra today during chinese lesson, and even demonstrated what you've learnt to others. I'm proud of you.

" I always thought that vaGIna (va-guy-na) is a male's vagina"- Pat Ng.

Pat, my good old chinese buddy, little sister, and "girl" friend.

I'm back- with Formal Pictures this time.

Yay! finally methods and chem are over! Taking few hours off today before my oral and accounting sac commence. Wrote my oral till 3am last night, got really stressed up about it, cause I couldn't write anything, and I was soooooo tired. Luckily, musics like abba's "money money money" and Shakira's "hipsdon't lie" woke me up and made me feel energised again.

Happily, I took my oral to B10 today to hand it in.

" Hey, is Mrs Spilia here today?"
" Oh i'm sorry she's not."
"ERmmmmM....okay, and tomorrow is her day off?"
" yeah sorry Gloria."

and my oral is on Thursday. Sigh what can i do? just read my oral without showing her my draft then.

Did my nails and now it's time for some interesting stuff.

Guess what I received today?

Happy Medium!!!

Yay! time to open it!

Sorry, something wrong with my scanner, can't turn it on. These pictures are taken by my lao yah purple camera. Oh well, better than nothing!

with Tim- at least my skin colour looks the same now. (LE TAN tanning cream is BAD)

with Bena!

My besties! - Lao Gong, me, ex honey, my bean, and her new name- Lil Miss Nerdy.

Wait there's something wrong with this picture? Alright let's zoom in.

Why are my two ex closing their eyes? am I not good enough for you? Melina, is it just because I can't cross the road?, and darling Em, is it cause my toe nails are blue now? if you like it pink, I'll make it pink then, is hot pink good for you? No matter how, in my heart, there is still a M on the left side, and an E on the right.

Common let's try another one.

There you go! Everyone looks good here! I like this pic, it's a nice pic of 5 of us.

Full Body. hey melina looks like she's about the same height as us here.

and Finally ..

The Group Picture!!

- The End-

(oh and btw M on the left and E on the right basically just means "me"- I only love myself)

also, Results for Maurice's pics.

a draw! - Australia says yes to Maurice's horny look and of course, his stunt man look.

Melina Quotes.

I know i'm not supposed to blog, but I just need to add a few of Melina's quotes here.

" Is beef ..cow?"
"Is squash that thing where you play by yourself and hit the ball to..the wall"

and one more about the bassoon. I forgot what it was though.

Everybody loves Maurice.

Maurice- a man with all faces. Which one do you prefer? Leave your vote on the comments section.

1. " Bring it on" look

2. Maurice the party boy look.

3. The "serious" look- you better watch out, the evil stare.


4. Don't wanna say this, but apparently this is his..."horny" look

5. wow wow the "super stunt man maurice" look.


6. the "disgusted, get off my face" look.

7. The "playful" look

There are times where Maurice would "smile" for pictures too.

8. The "forceful smile" - note the hands hugging Maurice, not mine, nor xinni's, I wonder, who else, the little head behind.

9. A Decent Smile- Aunty!!! You wanted to see formal pictures WITH Maurice's face right? Here's one.

and finally.... 10. His "cute smile"...awww...he only does it when his best friend is around.

Nevertheless, Maurice is a great follower of God. He is helpful at all times, and cares for the people around him. He gives his mummy a kiss before he goes to school, and he always goes to school late. He loves his apple in the morning, and coffee throughout all day. He needs 3 alarms to wake him up in the morning, and will never wake up when his parents are away. He is always left alone at landsdown street because uncle always forgets to pick him up, so he has to walk home alone. Don't worry Maurice! You're never alone! Cause God loves you and we all do too! (alright this should be my speech on Maurice's farewell party).

* Since I have heaps of outcome next week and busy this weekend with lectures, I shall stop blogging till next week, and leave this maurice post on for people to vote.

Zai Jian Peng You men!

Verse of the day- Psalms 73:26

My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever
—Psalm 73:26

Our heavenly Father knows how to care for His children and will allow only what He deems best. We can rest in His infinite wisdom and goodness.


If you are helpless in life’s fray,
God’s mighty power will be your stay;
Your failing strength He can renew,
For He’s a God who cares for you. —D. De Haan
