MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS
I hope it's not too late for me to wish y'all reader a very Merry Christmas ...
I was too busy preparing for my open house, which was a blast... though the number of guests is declining (my favorite cousin was too busy too come).
We all know that YNTM has ended (Congratulations Jane), that particular thing has gotten me busy for the whole December.
This year I can sense that the Christmas spirit has gone down a bit, our Candle Lite Night at church is one visible proof of it. Last Christmas, we have 12 group of carolers participated but this year there were only four, and judging by the quality of their performance we can tell that they're not all into it.
However the amount of legs we can see during the Xmas Eve and Xmas Day mass was increasing, thanks to more affordable razor and hair remover.
Enough with the sarcasm , all I can say is I enjoy this Christmas becacuse it's a different feel compare to the previous years... anyway, happy holidays

New Year, New Show, New Attitude
Few more days before 2010, thegossipgeek will be re-branded, no more messing around with other people lives, one of my new year resolution is I want to stop jeopardizing my relationship with other people, plus I'm not Erin Silver...
so starting on New Year's Eve, I'll be presenting a new blog shows called The Bridge, which is a story about friendship set in the one and only UNIMAS, my beloved campus...
I've been building the plot since early of the year, but I'm too busy with Yey's Next Top Model, with YNTM Season 2 ending soon I will have time to work on The Bridge... I like to create drama, so creating a real one will mess my life so why not create a fictional drama with fictional character based on non-fictional story. The main character will be a women, cause there are so many drama that I can create with this gender... a male character won't be as expressive as a female one, right now I'm still searching my lead role, any suggestion?
more sneak preview, next year this blog will still be your hub of stress-relief, i'll still keep some column but some column will be ended due of the low ratings...
so don't forget to visit me once a while...
greed has gotten me
we never know how far someone can go for money,
my friend rented off his beloved car so he can eat, by the end of the day he complained about how he hate it so much, how he hate the foreign smell after his car is returned.
same thing goes to me, I've been warned and I've read it in the news but desperation leads me to mistakes that i regret doing until now.
I've gave my account number to some stranger who told me that he will pay me small amount of money if I've done some simple job.
I just gave the account number cause I was like what's the worse could happened if the guy know my account number, I was so naive, it's 2000s people can do anything with all the technology and stuff... so recently I've learned that people can actually steal from your bank given that they know your account number
it takes time, 3 months your account is good, no scratch... and few months later... POOF!!! everything's gone. I've learned that the thief only need your account number and in times they will try to figured out your account router number (have no idea what that is), once they've figured that out they will steal every cents in your bank.
I don't know whether this is some conspiracy theory or whatever, but i can imagine the worst case scenario that could happened, i'm so stupid, now i need to open a new account and close this account, that's the only thing i can do now... so guys when someone that's hard to be trusted asked for your account number, think again, you may gain something today but you'll lose a lot tomorrow...

TAYLOR'S WEEKLY WRAPPED UP
I've decorated our Christmas tree, which I think is too small for our living room. the 5' tree needs a little makeover this year, so I feel like giving a twist in its design by putting flowers instead of typical Christmas ornament and what do I got for all that effort, my mum think the whole idea of making a Christmas Tree looked like Cherry Blossom is nonsense. In the end, I have to stick up with the common design., boring but at least it saves my ear from hearing all those critiques made by the carolers.
Speaking about caroling, as usual i wasn't invited to joined (again!!!), I wasn't thinking about doing carols for my neighborhood this year anyway...

YNTM Episode 10: The Black, The Blonde, The Heavy and The Ugly
The Top 5 flew to Paris in their journey towards becoming the Yey's Next Top Model, forget about jet lag they have to go through a couture crash course. Then they climb the Eiffel Tower for their next photoshoot. Failing to adapt Tatang was sent home.
Patsy survived another elimination and she was devastated and scared.
Lora was sure she was not going home this week because of her strong portfolio.
Jane finally feel the pressure being in the competition.
"I never get this nervous, but it's Top 4 and I just want to be in the final".
Back at the house the girls recieved their Atan Mail which said "Who knows French?"
The girls were assigned another go-see where they have to meet five French designers. They were given only map and nothing else...
With a bit knowledge in speaking French, Jane has an advantage.
Sheilla was a little bit slow, finally she came up with an idea to pay a man to guide her.
Lora decided to meet the farthest designer so she won't collide with the other girls, but her method takes it toll when her taxi stuck in a Paris' traffic jam.
Patsy was blurred and couldn't find her way.
The go-see was a challenge, Patsy and Lora were disqualified because of their lateness.
The challenge is won by Jane, she won designers clothes and garments.
Later, the girls decided to take the day off and went to the nearest restaurant.
Patsy confessed to the other girls that she doesn't see herself in the Top 3 because she thinks she's ugly. Lora beg to differ and told Patsy that the girl with the least potential is her because of her personality during judging.
Jane then told them that she hates her blonde hair and pretend to like it in front of the judges. It's her strategy I guessed.
Then they were taken to a studio for their next photoshoot, Paris is known for The Louvre which is an art museum, thus their next photoshoot will involved them in a work of art.. with a twist.
Before the shoot start, Ms Wan told them that this week two of the girls will be going home instead of one. The news put pressure on the girls and cause their performance to go down a bit.
- Sheilla - Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus
- Lora - Leonardo Da Vinci's Monalisa
- Jane - Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe
- Patsy - Johannes Vermeer's Girl With The Pearl Earrings
Sheilla's body language is amazing.
Jane need to let it out. Her photo shoot is easy but she have to be less melancholy.
Patsy find it very difficult to embody the painting.
The Judging
The judging is based on their go-see and photoshoot, Ms Amal from Seventeen magazine is guest judge.
Jane was praised for winning the go see, Atan told her that she offended one of the designer and it was not a good thing, her photo wasn't phenomenal but she still look pretty.
Lora was then again lost in her lack of presence. Her photo is so-so and the most worrying thing about her is she wasn't booked by any of the designer.
Patsy's photo was OK and she was told that the reason for her still being in the competition despite of her weak body of work is her drive, unfortunately the judges felt like she's losing it.
Sheilla's picture although not that great but is still the best in the bunch, Atan likes her commitment. Although she didn't win the challenge, one designer told Atan that Sheilla was booked for a real fashion show by one of the designer after she graduated from YNTM.
Elimination
Atan called Sheilla first.
Jane, Lora and Patsy was called at the bottom three.
Jane was called for her harsh exterior but she looks like a model in person compare to the other girls.
Patsy's personality wins people heart but her determination is going down.
Lora's body of work is impressive and her runway walk is one of the best but her personality cause her to be defeated.
Atan gives Jane her photo and Lora and Patsy were eliminated.
Which means we will see Sheilla and Jane at the finale.

sehati berdansa steps up to damnation
there's nothing else to do on saturday night than browsing on local TV channel,
so there's a reality show called 'Sehati Berdansa' in astro CH104 (RIA) which is in its third season now. I'm not it's big fan in fact I only watch it to see Didie Alias perform.
I mean they can boost the rating if they can get Mawi or Erra Fazira participate... sadly they can only get Oshin (she's from a girl group Lips, remember... I don't think so)...
okay so straight to the point, last week Sehati Berdansa had followed the footsteps of Akademi Fantasia by introducing SBMASUK, which is similar to AFMASUK.... got no clue, go search in Wikipedia.
Remember when Linda (AF2) is eliminated, people in Sabah was so frustrated they want to boycott the show, that's when the idea of AFMASUK originated, to make the fans happy, but apparently after that is introduced the ratings start to get lower and lower.
Is SBMASUK a better idea to boost Sehati Berdansa's rating or is it just a conspiracy to pulled Didie back into the show... I don't know... you'll be the judge...
farewell sweet tooth
i was browsing our local news today and found out this one in MSN
Malaysia may end up sugar subsidy to curb Malaysian from getting too much sugar in their food.
Apparently, the obesity percentage among Malaysians has rise from 16 percent to 29 percent in 10 years
*I don't blame the obese people, but serve you right now one glass of teh tarik will cost you RM3.00...
if the government did end up this subsidy, sugar price will rise about 70 percent than it's current price, currently a kilogram of sugar costs RM1.45 and without subsidy it'll cost RM2.45 per kilo
On the bright side, we could see decline in diabetes and obesity cases and the government can saves up to RM720 million slashing the sugar subsidy...
my advice, stock up !!!
Seeing RED
It’s World AIDS Day(1st December), this month is more than just wearing the red ribbon on your chest, as a part of the community and supporting the effort that people do to raise awareness about AIDS, thegossipgeek/TAYLOR is doing a little public service announcement to help raise awareness to my blog reader…
AIDS is caused by HIV virus which is transmitted from human to human via body fluid contact, e.g. semen, blood, vaginal fluid, etc.
HIV is transmitted through various ways including:
- Sexual intercourse
- Blood transfusion using contaminated blood
- sharing of needles
- piercing and tattooing with unsterilized utensils
What to do if you’re infected?
- There’s no way of telling a person is infected with HIV or not except by blood test, so go check yourself.
- The test used antibody test to check for CD4, antibody produced by the body when HIV had infect the person. The CD4 level can only be detected at least 3 months after infection. So go do the test 3 months after the date you think you’re infected.
- When the virus enter the host (you!) for the first time, the host will get flu symptoms which last for weeks and disappear long after that, the virus is not dormant during this time but it is invading the lymph node and destroying the immune system.
- When doing the test, find health practitioner that’ll give you counselling, most people don’t know what to do when they find out they’re HIV-positive.
How to avoid getting infection?
- The safest way is to stay away from sex, practice monogamy…
- practice safe sex
- don’t share needles
- verify that the blood is not contaminated when doing blood transfusion
Do Something… Make a difference

YNTM Episode 9: Oui, Oui, Atan !
Last week, the ever so stylish Sabatini was eliminated leaving 5 girls in the running towards becoming Yey's Next Top Model, here are the remaining models in the making in case you don't remember them...
Lora was spared last week because of her stronger portfolio, but she need to give herself a reality check and work on her presentation during the judging...
so she ask for help from Patsy, whom we know are the sunshine of the panel.
Despite her major breakdown last week, Tatang come back to her usual vicious self... she complain about how Jane's photo is not the strongest of the bunch...
"It should be me, i accomplish a lot last week!"
Now we are a bit curious whether her tears last week is sincere...

TAYLOR IS TOTALLY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE
Hi, I was writing this post with a sad melancholy feeling in my heart and am currently listening to some old sad songs...
Exam is over, I know, but I felt super sad because I didn't do my best, definitely not my best ...
one night in UNIMAS, i was sitting alone at the cafeteria under the water tower waiting for my order to be served, I looked at other people, they were laughing and I swear I can see their throat from where I was sitting - it's a pure laugh they making, gosh I wish I was as happy as them.
I looked at my phone, no calls or missed calls, no message at all... I'm so lonely
After I took my order (Nasi Pataya, TAPAU!!!) I went to my beloved faculty, going to be my former beloved faculty soon cause I hate what the faculty has done to me, I fall in love and I fall with love there...
Oh I'm gonna miss you [CENSORED], I'll remember the day we first met and talk, it was brief but it's worth it, I was totally going head over heels when you talk to me and brush your elbow to me - oh, what a bliss...
-thegossipgeek is poking his throat when i'm writing this-
Then, after wandering around the faculty, I decided to go home... to my soon to be former beloved hostel...
As I was walking across the bridge I saw many people sitting there, some were fishing some were 'fishing' too...
I miss doing that, sitting and eating peanuts on the bridge, always did that back in my first year in UNIMAS with my FSGK buddy, now they're too busy to even buzz my phone...
Then, I'm going to boot my laptop, log into my blog account and post my memoirs there, what title should i put in?
I am usually a happy kinda guy but now I just feel all the burden in the world is on my shoulder...
I decide...
'TAYLOR IS TOTALLY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE'
Perfect title...
