Culturally Preconditioned

I’m back. Actually I have been back since last Wednesday but was too lazy to post (well I had to catch up on LOTS of tv shows). The vacation was great. I might post some sort of travelogue later. There’s just too many damn pictures to sort through, but can I just say that TWO WEEKS is just not enough to cover a lot of Australia? I only spent a couple of days in Sydney and the rest in Melbourne. A couple of highlights from the trip :

1) The Mardi Gras in Sydney

2) Koko Black’s Chilli Hot Chocolate (simply divine)

3) Losing my 2-month old Cybershot handphone and getting it miraculaously returned 24 hours later

4) The Moomba Waterfest in Melbourne

5) Krispy Kremes

oooh and (6) getting cheap organic vanilla pods back home. Yay!

Anyway, I was quite surprised to see the final 12 of American Idol. What the hell happened to Jared? I knew Brandon was gonna get Gideoned, but whatever. They MUST stop this 6 boys 6 girls shit next year. The guys SUCK! Survivor Fiji is getting too depressing to watch. One team just keeps losing and the other team, well.. despite their wins, they’re the most idiotic mind numbing morons I’ve ever seen on the show. Nothing surprising out of the Amazing Race (and major KUDOS to Romeo for posting the crossed out list!!! OMG). Romber got their comeuppance, but you gotta admit they were really good during the first 3 legs. Speaking of TAR, applications for Amazing Race Asia 2 is out … and I have less than 11 days to get the video done and sent to Singapore. Fuck. Wish me luck.
