hiya people!
im feeling really really good today.. im going shopping later! *whee!*

anyway, i was watching TV last night.. and i realised that the TVshows in Malaysia are so...
americanized! :(
i was surfing the channels and i suddenly turned to nTv7
and they were airing this show called Doop! and its an exact copy of MTV's Punk'd.
you know the concept of Punk'd right?
its where these people go and play tricks on celebrities and see how they react..
and Doop! is exactly like that!
they even have the line in the end where the celebrities go 'I've just been Dooped!'
aiyohhhh... so lame lar!

then our Malaysian Idol is also another carbon copy of American Idol.
the judges of MI consists of Roslan Aziz who looks like Randy, Fauziah Latiff whose exactly like Paula Abdul, and Paul Moss, the foreigner who gives the worst comments..sounds famiiar?
summore the format is EXACTLY the same!
when American Idol changed the show's format to dividing the contestants to guys and girls, Malaysian Idol did that too.
even the show's logo and all that is an edited copy of American Idol.

another one is all the reality TV shows.
Malaysian versions of The Apprentice, Amazing Race, Fear Factor and US dating reality shows are showing everywhere.
i was talking to my friends that day and i found out that there are reality TV shows that match divorcees/widowers up and the kids get to choose their parent's potential dates.
its so weird!
i mean, do people actually join these things thinking that they'll walk away with their life partners?


er.. to be continued, i got piano class now :)
(have to take summore... stupid examiner!)

actually, american idol is based on the british pop idol. simon cowell was producer of that too not too sure.

and who's line isit anyway is also originally british but i've seen some regulars of the american one on the british version. however, the british version is funnier and a little more euro in that once in a while you get a few gratitous 'breast shots'.
