Idol idle stuff

SO...i slept at 4.30am today as predicted, trying to interact with The Veronicas on that virtual website, Habbo.com. They only managed to talk to their fans for 15 minutes, and then they performed two songs. It was over in less than half an hour. But the thing was, A LOT of their fans waited for hours at Habbo, trying to get into the room, because they only had a limit of 100 people in the room. In the end, it worked out fine, because just as The Vs 'virtually appeared' onstage in the Star Lounge (one of the rooms), they kicked everyone in the room out!! LOLZ. At that time, I was #20 in queue outside, and then suddenly, I was #1, and in the room! Here are some screencaps (thanks to the quick-thinking fans) Their avatars are sooo cute, i bet you they chose all the clothes themselves, just like i did mine:

^ as you can see, i was one of those talking in CAPS, trying to get Lis's and Jess's attention, lol.

they actually looked like this at their PC stations:

The whole experience was a huge WASTE OF TIME. I wanted to try it out simply to tell Jess and Lisa to come to Singapore for Singfest, or at least to tour Asia sometime soon. They said they'd love to. Other than the fact that I surprised myself with my technology savviness in tuning in to both Habbo radio and finding my way into the room, I promised myself I would never try something like that again, seeing as the interview and performance were recorded by fans, and which I could listen in to at a later time. -_-

Anyway, I had heard on the radio yesterday that The Pussycat Dolls (PCD) are coming for Singfest. I was like, 'w.t.fuck?!, the head organiser Michael, had said they wouldn't be bringing in anymore headliners (like The Veronicas), because then they would have to increase ticket prices.' I then emailed a somewhat sarcastic and unhappy message to him this morning, and he said they were bringing in PCD because an 'ardent fan was paying to bring them in', and he'd be happy to invite The Veronicas if fans like me brought them in. ARGH! Some other time (it's too late now), you just wait and see, Midas!

Anyway, back to reality. My butt hurts today for unintentionally cycling 2 hours yesterday, trying to find my way from my home to the driving centre and back. I tell you, if you want to give yourself a darn good work-out, just get yourself lost, and you'll burn calories like nobody's business.

I'm still trying to persuade my mum to let me and my brother join the Akido martial arts course at my nearby Community Centre (which starts tomorrow!), but she is adamant in her 'anti-japanese' stance. Whatever.
