Now we know it was Eminem/Dido


stan
stan/
informal
noun
  1. 1.
    an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity.

    "he has millions of stans who are obsessed with him and call him a rap god"
verb
  1. 1.
    be an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity.

    "y'all know I stan for Katy Perry, so I was excited to see the artwork for her upcoming album"

It's never good to be overzealous or obsessive, to anyone, celebrity or otherwise! Please respect people's privacy.

 I don't think I'm obsessing over any one artiste, although there are a few people I would pay a lot of $$$ to see in-person:-

  1. Jacky Cheung - and we saw him last year on his world tour.  Fantabulous!
  2. Jay Chou - and we have seen him twice already in the last 3-4 years.  Always a sing-a-long session at the stadium
  3. Jam Hsiao - cos he's got excellent vocals, when is he coming for a concert again? think i'd missed the previous ones
My current playlist on my phone, on eternal loop, consists of mostly k-pop.  Why? cos I have no idea what they're singing, and this prevents me from singing along in the office! Can you imagine the looks of digust and horror I would get from my co-workers? The current rota include Dean, Got7, Big Bang and most recently, BTS.

To use my new vocabulary, I don't stan anyone, because stanning is akin to a stalker, almost.  I'm a fan, not the electrical kind with blades or no blades, but the one who watches from afar (as near as I can afford anyway...)

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...
