:: Who will be the next American Idol? ::

Salam to all my readers.

The end is getting closer. Tomorrow, we will find out who is gonna walk away from the Nokia Theater Los Angeles as the new American Idol. Will it be Scotty McCreery or Lauren Alaina? Both are comfortable singing Country songs and they are the youngest top 2 ever in American Idol history.

~ Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina ~

On the first part of American Idol Finale, both Scotty and Lauren performed three songs, as you all already know. Scotty sang 'Gone', 'Check Yes or No' and his new original song, 'Love You This Big'. His contender, Lauren chose to sing 'Flat on the Floor', 'Maybe It Was Memphis' and a cover song from Kristy Lee Cook (previous American Idol finalist) entitled 'Like My Mother Does'.

I just told you guys the facts of the one-hour finale but the truth is, I think this is the dullest finale ever, right after Crystal and Lee duo last season. You see, both of them sing Country songs and I have nothing against the Country genre in fact there are some Country songs that I really like BUT this is different. I was kinda like saddled with six Country and Western songs that some of the songs was the songs that I never heard of. Thanks to Lauren for her ability to sing from her heart that made her last performance kinda brought tears to my eyes. It would probably be interesting if Haley is in the finale. At least we have two singers belt out two different genres.

But whatever it is, the finale has end and now it's up to the American to choose their next idol. If you ask me, hurmm, lets look at this chronology first. I wanted Pia to be in the top 2, but she got eliminated in top 9. Then, I put my trust in Haley and prayed so that she can make it to finale. Again, my dream was crushed. I am left with no choice but to choose Lauren to win because she got distinctive voice and she can sing high note pretty well.

So, lets wait for the result show to see whose name Ryan going to announce at the end of the show. They got so many singers going to perform on that night and damn, they neglected David Archuleta. I really hope they could call Archie to perform his latest single live. Damn it!

:: The twins attack! ::

Salam to all my readers.

Ya know, I always like the idea of having a twins in my family. Seriously I do. Whenever I see twins I will go like, "This is a must-have item after I got married.". Haha. Twins are not like any ordinary people. Apart from the fact that they are twins, they tend to attract a lot of attention from the public, especially if the twins wear something similar and many eyes will fascinatingly rest on them.

I have heard stories, most of them inspiring, from the people who got a chance in life to raise twins and it is easy to assume that they had a true joy experiences in raising them. So, the question is, why is this twin people exist? From what I have learned in school, identical twins or known as monozygotic, form from a single fertilized egg and splits into two parts, resulting in the development of two embryos. Because of the two embryos come from a single egg/sperm fertilization, they have the same genetic origin. There is no authentic solid reason why the egg split into two, maybe it's a malfunction of the normal development process. To know more, go check your biology textbook.

If my wife pregnant and I have a 'choose' button whether you want identical twins or non-identical twins, I definitely go for identical twins. The number one reason why I want twins is because I want them to look alike. Non-identical twins is similar to any ordinary children, except for you will not be having children that share the same age. What's the point of wanting a twins if you don't want them to be identical right? I will buy them the same cloth, the same toys, damn, it's gonna be interesting! Hehehe.

~ Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who play Zack and Cody Martin in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody ~

Okay, I may like a twins-maniac here but don't get me wrong guys. I am not gonna hate my single-birth children just because my wish to have twins is not granted. I will love them equally. Haha. But hey, according to this article that I read, there is no established connection between genetics and monozygotic twinning. Scientists have not really found and confirmed clear cause for monozygotic twinning, which you already knew how it is occurred inside of the women's womb. All parents have a reasonably equal chance of getting identical twins. Now, that's a great news to hear! :P

p/s : may Allah push away all the complications if I were to get a twins babies. Hehe

:: ANTM All-Stars Cycle ::

Salam to all my readers.

This is might be a not-so-latest- news to all die-hard fans of America's Next Top Model (ANTM) because recently, Tyra Banks had previewed the cast of ANTM All-Stars in a runway show in L.A. Yes, you heard it right. The next cycle of ANTM will be the All-Stars Edition. I'm sure you guys knew what 'all-stars' means right so I don't need to explain more about the term.

Apparently, Tyra had asked the girls whom she has chosen to be in this cycle while the ANTM Cycle 16 was still showing on national television. When I heard about Tyra making an all-stars cycle, me and my friend couldn't help but speculate which girl she would choose to do this all over again. I was like, 'No! She didn't!' after looking at the list. I can imagine how chaotic and tension the atmosphere in the house would be, simply because the lot is packed with lots of personalities SLASH bitchiness. Seriously, there are a lot of bitches coming back. Maybe its for drama purpose. Here is the list:

• Shannon Stewart, Cycle 1
• Camille McDonald, Cycle 2
• Britanny Brower, Cycle 4
• Lisa D'Amato, Cycle 5
• Bre Scullark, Cycle 5
• Bianca Golden, Cycle 9
• Dominique Reighard, Cycle 10
• Isis King, Cycle 11
• Sheena Sakai, Cycle 11
• Allison Harvard, Cycle 12
• Laura Kirkpatrick, Cycle 13
• Angelea Preston, Cycle 14
• Kayla Ferrell, Cycle 15
• Alexandria Everett, Cycle 16

~ the cast of ANTM All-Stars respectively ~

To be honest, I'm glad that Laura, Allison and Kayla made it here but as I thought the house would be 'safer' and more tranquil without Jade Cole coming back, the names like Angelea, Bianca, Dominique, Camille and Bre sure can cover for Jade effortlessly. I wonder how Alexandria will blend with all these bitches. Gosh, my ears already hurt thinking about all of them yelling for each other. After all, this what makes ANTM fiercer and interesting isn't? Damn, they're going to tear the house down.

:: America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 is... ::

Salam to all my readers.

Perhaps you guys knew this already but I still want to announce it anyway. I am gladly announce that the winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 is the fierce Brittani Kline! Yay!

~ Brittani's Cover Girl Ad ~

~ Molly's Cover Girl Ad ~

Now the winner has been revealed, who is the runner-up? It's non other than our own Molly O'Connell. If you guys look at their Cover Girl ads, you may think that Molly's is much more Cover Girl-like than Brittani's but, unfortunately, the finale deliberation of who's gonna be wearing the ANTM crown is not based on the Cover Girl ads solely. They were judged based on their finale runway walks and the previous works. The result out of the deliberation is Brittani crowned as the latest top model and also the latest 'baby girl' of IMG Model Management. During the finale runway show, they participated in a runway show for Vivienne Westwood latest collection.

To be honest, I wouldn't be upset if either of them wins, I mean, both these girls are really good and they were neck and neck at the finale. It just, maybe Brittani kinda outshone Molly during the finale runway walk so that could be the contribution factor of Brittani winning. This could be the best final 2 ever, well, after Danielle and Joanie of Cycle 6 of course. What a great cycle! Oh, forgot to tell ya. Our final 2 was spotted with a new makeover at the final panel and looking at the picture above, I think they work the new hairdo.

That's it of ANTM Cycle 16. Now, the next cycle would be ANTM Cycle 17 or also known as ANTM: All-Stars Edition. It means that, the models who are robbed or who are not make it in the previous cycles will have another shot to be on top. They will start all over again, just like any other cycle but the only difference is, they already knew how this show work. The list of who's gonna be competing on this cycle is already leaked and I'm will be making a special entry about that one. So, gotta watch this space. Hehe.

:: I dreamed a dream ::

Salam to all my readers.

Yesterday I asked my mom, can I be a model? No. That was what she said. And I asked her why. She said I am too big to be a model, which I kinda agree with the statement, and later she added, model don't wear glasses so, if I want to be a model, I need to wear contact lens or go to the hospital and get my eyes fixed. I was laughing hearing her opinions on me becoming a model.

I think in our life, I certainly believe that, we do have this kinda feeling. The feeling of becoming somebody that is not us and somebody that is far out of our reach. This is not ambition. Ambition is more like a strong desire to do or achieve something in life, but this is different. The feeling when you're watching TV and you see Celine Dion performing and getting big applause from the audience and suddenly you say, I wanna try to be like her for one day. This is the feeling that I'm talking about.

This maybe a lil bit embarrass to admit but okay, fine, I think wanna try to be a model for a day. Laugh your heart out if you want but it is really something that I feel like I wanna be if Allah granted me a chance to be somebody else, which by all means, is not gonna happen in real life. It's okay to dream, the last time I checked. I'm gonna put the blame of shows like America's Next Top Model (ANTM) coz for some reasons watching the show kinda influence me a bit, or maybe not a bit, but the thing is, it all started with the show.

There was also times when I sat on my comfy couch and imagined how fantastic it would be to see myself playing a role on the silver screen and to see my face handsomely on the poster of blockbuster movies. I wrote about this once, click here to read more on what type of movie I would like to be in if I was an actor. Haha. In real life, I am nobody. I want to feel the pride, the glory when people cheering at me and people calling out my name when I walk down the street. "Judiene!" "Judiene!". Boy, it turns me on! Haha. I successfully managed to make myself look pretty stupid and lame. LOL!

~ one of my favourite actor he is ~

Come on people, don't act like you never had a dream like this. Don't lie to me, or at least, don't lie to yourself. Feel free to share some of your dreams here. Put away all your shyness, I promise, it's only you and me. Hehe. Until next time guys, ciao!
