Okay Party of Five is this REALLY REALLY REALLY old show that they use to show! I can't remember much of it, impression isn't as deep as like, dharma and greg &friends - you know, stuff i used to watch when i was really young, before primary school even.
New kids on the block is this boyband that was extremely sucessful in the early 1990s? Yea i was probably too young lah but i remember my cousins (like audrey) going crazy over them. Oh anyway their lead singer Jordan Knight had this pretty popular single when i was, erm i think primary 2? 3?
Oh and WHO FORGETS 5IVE (boyband!) HAHA i just heard one of their songs playing on the airwaves late 2 nights ago. Not the We Will Rock You cover, but smethg just as popular. Can't remember the title though.
I need moolah for shopping purposes.
