Singapore Idol

I can't believe myself. I'm actually writing about this topic at 11:56pm but here I am - I'm slowly and surely turning into a groupie. Singapore tonight, is a nation divided. Divided between Taufik's fans and Sylvester's groupies. Yet it is also a nation united, voting, watching, anticipating for the one to be crowned the Idol after weeks and months of competition. The crowd at the Indoor Stadium blew me away. 7000 turned up on a weekday night to scream, yell, cheer and vote for the 2 guys living in the heartlands. 2 guys trying to make their dreams come true. Tens of thousands more stay glued to their TVs watching the show LIVE from all over the island - like myself - and many others unable to get near a TV, get updates from friends and family. The Idol was finally revealed at 11pm. My money was well-spent (21 sms votes) and at last I know I'll be able to sleep well tonight or rather morning. I'm still a Singaporean today, tomorrow and the day after.
