Reality Showtime ...

Woohoo, tomorrow is a holiday for us here and I'm pretty darn happy. Then again when am I not happy to get a holiday right? I just love these holidays that fall in the middle of the week. It makes the week seem shorter. Maybe they should make Wednesday's a rest day too. Come to think of it, maybe they should make Monday through Thursdays a rest day as well. We'd just go to work on Friday and then it's the weekend already ... LOL!

'why not just make the whole week off, you lazy bum?'

Now that's asking just a bit too much isn't it? LOL! It's not really a public holiday though. It's just for a few states here and it's for the celebration of Thaipusam. I'm too lazy to elaborate what the festival is all about so if any of you are curious, then check what it's all about here. But to all my Hindu friends, here's wishing you a Happy Thaipusam.

I don't have any plans for tomorrow except stay home and blog (what else) and maybe catch some TV. American Idol is on tomorrow and both wifey and myself love watching it. In fact there's a host of reality shows going on now and we've shortlisted a few to watch that we plan our entire outings and grocery shopping around these shows. The second season of Heroes also starts tonight so I'll be glued to the TV and even if the world ended I'm not going to do anything until the show is over!

Today is actually our grocery shopping day and we normally do it after I get home from work. But that would mean having to miss Heroes and it would also mean having to miss my run session for today, so wifey and me decided to do the shopping during lunch. I bummed off from work a little earlier during lunch and we made a quick dash to our favourite hyper mart. At least with that out of the way, I can still put in a run session and get home in plenty of time for Heroes.

Ok, before you all start thinking that I'm a TV addict, let me dispel that notion. I'm far from being a TV addict. I'd rather be doing anything else than watching TV but there are some series like the CSI franchise, Numbers, Without a Trace, Law & Order, The Unit and now Heroes that I simply cannot miss. The good thing is all the series that I do watch start a little later in the night so I'm able to carry on with my normal life and not be ruled by the TV ... hehehe ... Unfortunately it's reality show season right now and there are a few that I simply cannot miss as well, namely American Idol, One In A Million, Amazing Race Asia, Hell's Kitchen and the upcoming Akademi Fantasia but unfortunately they all start pretty early so I'm going to have to be less sociable the next few weeks.

'when have you ever been sociable Nick?'

Hmmm, that's true, I'm the most unsociable person on the planet. In fact, if you knew me in real life, you might even say I'm a snobbish kinda person ... LOL! Well, that's what people tell me anyway. Whenever people first meet me, they always think I'm stuck up or something. It's only later when they get to know me do they know what a weirdo I am and regret getting to know me ... hehehe ... But in truth I'm far from snobbish, I'm just blooming shy but I guess the look I project on my face to hide the shyness make me look rather snobbish!

Oh drats, I just remembered something, in our grocery shopping rush just now, we forgot to buy those wet wipes thingy that we normally buy. Looks like we're going to have to go out tomorrow after all. Oh well, that's what you get for rushing.
