The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards was telecast live earlier today at 8am here. It was one pretty simple show hosted by Jimmy Fallon, but here a rough low-down of the show.

GENE KELLY RULES!
One little-known fact about myself: I am a huge fan of Gene Kelly. In my opinion, he is the most talented Broadway actors/singers of all time. The following are 3 of my favourite Gene Kelly numbers picked from his films.

YAN-YAN FAILS!
Today I went to school and met up a bunch of friends to work on a banner to present to our secondary school teachers for Teachers' Day. For those who do not know, I am currently part of my secondary school alumni executive committee.
I felt a little hungry so I went to the nearby Cheers to get a snack. I got myself a Yan-Yan (biscuit sticks with a flavoured dip; mine was chocolate) and a Heaven & Earth Ice Passionfruit Tea (SO GOOD!).
Anyway, once I got my snack I got back to my friends and started snacking into my Yan-Yan. But while I was happily snacking on my chocolate snack, I noticed a few kinks in the Yan-Yan that made me much happier.

Vampires DO Suck!
I'm not a big fan of parody films like the Scary Movie franchise, Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans, but this may be the first parody film that I will go see.
It's about time... to rip on... the vampire movie.
Vampires Suck is a parody film directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. It stars Matt Lanter, Chris Riggi, Jenn Proske, Anneliese van der Pol and Ken Jeong.
ME - PILGRIM-ISED?

ANGELINA JOLIE IN "SALT"! (REVIEW)
So I was out with 2 friends today. We hung out and ate a crapload of sushi. Then I had the idea of watching a movie, and we ended up watching the movie Salt starring Angelina Jolie.
In Salt, Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent accused of being a Russian sleeper agent. X-Men Origins: Wolverine's Liev Schreiber plays Ted Winter, head of the fictional CIA's Russian House, and British actor Chiwetel Ejorfor plays Peabody, a CIA agent in pursuit of Salt.

DANCE TO THIS SONG! - kevjumba, David Choi, Wong Fu Productions
"A lot of pop music these days is starting to sound the same. We thought we'd take a stab at it by making our own, very generic, catchy pop song."
Wong Fu Productions (Wesley Chan, Ted Fu, Philip Wang):
David Choi:
Kevin Wu:
When I first heard the song, I kinda felt that I heard it from somewhere. Then I was reminded of the Black Eyed Peas' "Meet Me Halfway".

LIFE-CHANGING YOUTUBE.
When reading this week's issue of 8 Days magazine, I came across the following "First Person" story, written by Jason Hahn, about YouTube. It's pretty amusing, I must say. Check it out below:
The other day, someone asked me what I couldn't live without.
I think he was being intellectually provocative or, at the very least, he was blind drunk. You know how you sometimes meet people like that at parties? They come up to you round about 1.30am, slightly wobbly on the feet, and eyes with that unfocused gaze that comes from having nursed, all night, a deeply intimate relationship with Jack Daniels on the rocks. They lean forward, happily unaware that they're invading your private space and then, in a haze of alcoholic vapour, they ask you what your name is.
Well, anyway, this guy at Marina's party leaned in and whispered, "What can't you live without, mate?"
I replied instinctively, without thinking: "YouTube".
