Now, this is the part where I pretend to be listening

Today's jujitsu was pretty good. Beat this guy who everyone thinks is my brother because we apparently look alike. Pity him though, I was guarding against him the whole time pretty comfortably then I moved on to a triangle choke when he was tired. Couldn't choke him fast enough so I got his arm, pushed it down on my thigh and voila! Got him to tap via an armbar.

Not like more than 2 of you got what the above paragraph means, ok anyway. Pretty OK week, had fun in school, doing some stupid stuff in our Mac studios like playing mantrain with the chairs and acting homosexual and whatnot with each other, just to gross the girls out. Yes, I was really acting. But my assignments, oh my, I'm royally screwed. It's due on Monday and I have to rush through it this weekend.

And I'm pretty sure you guys know who's Bananaman/Watermelon/whatever on Singapore Idol and I kinda know him, even though it's just online. Cool guy, he wore a bra as a mask during the SARS outbreak and actually went out with it. Attention whore or just a really fun guy? Up to you to decide. And it's very amazing how much publicity and overnight-fame he is getting. Big props to him for thinking of the idea in the first place.

And the lemon tree guy is my hero. I was literally rolling around laughing like a lunatic when I was watching it with Charmian. Singapore Idols made me laugh harder than any local comedies (Durian King was decent but living with Lydia...-shudders-) could.

Onto music, Yellowcard did a cover of Lagwagon's "Violins" and it sounds great. The song was released on the album "Rock Against Bush Vol. 2" which is basically a compilation of songs about going against George Bush (or anti-authority or anti-government, whichever you like). Other more famous bands which contributed includes Green Day and No Doubt.

And bands covering older songs usually end up in goodness. These are the ones that I like.

The Get Up Kids - Close to me (The Cure cover)
Codeseven - Boys Of Summer (Don Henley cover)
Rise Against - Anyway you want it (Journey cover)

The last 2 songs are absolute must-gets, AWESOME covers, sounding even better than the originals. The first one is just "good" not "AWESOME SHIT OH MY GOD" the last two are, so it's still worth downloading.

Somehow I got the feeling that there are more to blog about but I will just stop here. See you all.
