While watching the TV, there was an interesting twist on a familiar show. It was a talent/idol show, where the contestants were policewomen and the audience were all police. They had competitions for martial arts and stuff but the clip I saw was the sing competition. The contestants all had to pick an English song to sing. One of them was cheap and used "Eyes On Me" from Faye Wong, another was a cop out (excuse the pun) picked "I Will Always Love You" from Whitney Houston however her time was up before she got to the really hard part of the song.

On TV, I was watching some classic Tom And Jerry episodes. They overdub most cartoons including many anime titles too. The particular thing that caught my attention this time around was how they deal with censorship to violence to kids. In this episode, Tom gets amnesia and thinks he is a mouse. The Mouse Jerry, reads in a book that a "blow to the head" might allow someone to overecome anmesia. So Jerry is trying to lure Tom into a trap where he will hit him in the head with a baseball bat. Well, just before that a scene happens, a stupided CG rendered duck (I think) pops up and basically tell the kids that this is animated violence and please don't try this at home. When the picture popped back it looks the film was still running during that notice beause they were already into the next of Jerry's plans.

One of the things, I am discovering today how much or for that matter how little housework women really do in a day. For example, Ami does laundry almost everyday. Today when I was taking care of it, I realized that the load of laundry was quite small, not even half way full. Ok, sure I am not a big supporter of do the little task many times so you don't have a big job ahead of you. But just like those people who wait for a full load of dishes for the dish washer, I was thinking she could probably go a half a week before needing to do the clothes. Oh well, since there wasn't much else for me to do I did that. Well, at least tried to.

I was washing dishes today. I just realized how inconvienent it was to do dishes without a double pan sink. Even more so, how hard it was to clean greasy dishes without hot water. I ended up using the large wok, putting cold water into it, then using the stove to heat it up to hot, then washing the dishes in that, before rinsing with the cold water in the single basin sink. Hahh... When there is a Will, there is a way!

Today, I took sometime to walk out to Careforre to buy some supplies since we were running out of everything. I decided to buy some orange juice rather than Coke. The best tasting of the two brands I bought was Dole but that was made from concentrate. The frest stuff they had was the Carrefour house brand which wasn't bad, but it had too much pulp and was not as sweet as the Dole stuff.

I ended picking up some music DVDs which I am going to listen to and make a Chinese Mix MP3 CD. I also noticed that they sell many CD-ROMs of MP3 music. You get about 100+ MP3 songs on a CD for about 10 Yuan. They have 2005 newest hottest hits, Best of the 200x, Music of x Awards Show, Best of TV show music, Best of Euro Music, Best of American Music and even Best of Anime Music. Definitely a good way to get a large amount of music to listen to. I picked up about five of these CDs for my collection.

Anyway, today for dinner, I got lazy and I decided to take Alexanderia to KFC for chicken.
