Rima Fakih, the current Miss USA, is making waves in the sports entertainment industry by joining WWE's latest season of Tough Enough -- WWE's search for the next WWE Superstar. If the fact that WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is not enough to whet your appetite, then the fact that Miss USA just might.
[CynicMon: And from here, you can see how WWE is trying to reel in more watchers; from wrestling fans, to beauty queen fanatics, everyone must have been interested at least to watch the first episode. Even my wife, who disdains wrestling, got interested enough to watch at least the first episode! Hehe.]
The new season aired Monday last week, April 4th, and it didn't disappoint. As can be expected from Stone Cold, he raised hell and set the bar for the 14 contestants trying to win the competition.

Confessions of a Coca-Cola Addict
I am twenty-nine years old, a husband and a dad. And I am a Coke addict -- the drink, not the drugs. I have been an addict for most of life. And I am trying to change. I've been trying to earlier, but I always go back to my old ways. I hope that by sharing this with you, I can cope and finally kick the habit.
The earliest time I remember having my first coke was when I was seven years old. I was in school with my mom during the end of the semester to get my report card. After getting it, we went to the canteen in the ground floor of the main building. There, my mom bought me a coke and a brownie. Can't remember the how much the brownie was, but the coke was only one peso and fifty cents. Ever since, I have always bought and drank coke.

When I'm studying. When I'm playing and having fun with the Family Computer (the original NES). It may have contributed to my weight gain. But I didn't mind. I didn't care what the others think. To me, what's important was (1) I'm doing great in school, and (2) I'm enjoying my Coke.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Songs
Well, since I'm on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse topic anyway, I might as well help you fellow-MMC watchers with the songs that you need to know! :) There's two that I have the lyrics to: the opening theme and the Hotdog Dance:
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Theme
Miska Muska, Mickey Mouse
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E (That's me)
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Come inside, it's fun inside
It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Roll call
Donald, present
Daisy, here
Goofy, hyuck, here
Pluto, ruff ruff
Minnie, oh, here
Mickey, right here
It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Come inside, it's fun inside
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Reviewing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
My son really likes Mickey Mouse -- his very first favorite character. And this is a quality Disney series that should be watched.
Every 9:00 AM at Playhouse Disney (here in Singapore, it's still Playhouse Disney, not yet Disney Junior), he will smile as soon as he sees Mickey Mouse walking down the lane and says "Hey everybody!", he lights up! His round eyes also smiling and you can tell that he really, really, really likes him.
So let's see. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I guess I'll just get down to it and list down the pros and cons (yeah, not all shows are perfect, even this one has its downsides).

That's all well and good I guess. I've been watching the other shows in Disney Playhouse -- yep I got that much time in my hands -- and all I can say is that this is by far one of the "safest" shows for any toddler to watch. Not that my son is a toddler, but.. well, I guess you get my point.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 17 - Fall from Grace
Martha Masters: He already jumped off of a hotel balcony. Who knows what he'll do next?
Dr. Robert Chase: Ride some kind of prostitute chariot to work?
Dr. Gregory House: First person to offer me an interesting case gets to ride her... single or double-team. My scooter, which, now said out loud, sounds even more inappropriate.
Dr. Gregory House: Before I forget, I want you to meet Dominika. She's about to become a
permanent member of Team House.
Dr. Robert Chase: Doing what exactly?
Dr. Gregory House: Me. We're getting married on Friday.
Dr. Gregory House: Living on the edge, baby doll!

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 16 - Out of the Chute
Dr. Gregory House: Well, I'm not fine as in "fine," but I'm fine as in "you don't have to worry about me."
Dr. James Wilson: Because you cleared out your bank account, checked into a hotel, and started back on Vicodin?
Dr. Gregory House: Because I'm going to be fine as in "fine" very soon.
Dr. Gregory House: Worse is worse. Pain doesn't discriminate. Neither do the pills. The Vicodin and the five-star pampering that I'm gonna get over the next few days should be enough to get me through it.
Dr. James Wilson: So you don't want to just avoid the issue. You want to avoid avoiding the issue. Sorry.

My IT Show 2011 Loot - Printer Inks
IT Shows are always a good place to get good deals for printers. Whether buying a new printer or buying supplies such as print cartridges and photo papers.
We have a Canon Pixma MP640 printer which has 5 separate print cartridges: 1 for b&w document printing and 4 for colored printing (CMY + black; yep that's two black inks).
It just so happens that they are still selling the set of print cartridge (code 821) for SGD 88 per set. You also get SGD 10 voucher for NTUC Fairprice. Not a bad deal.. So I bought two sets. :)

Dr. Gregory House: Foreplay.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Why were you in my closet?
