It's from a link I found over at CTNurul's.

Brilliantly hilarious. MUST READ

Looks like I've had no luck with my cds, yet again. I suppose it shouldn't come as much of a surprise but still..., I felt pretty darn hopeful this time around..

Grace will be back soon. Definitely looking forward to seeing her.

We owe you a Movie Day, Grace! Hurry home!! =D

Is it you?

I'm not half as angry as I am upset. I find it hard to believe that a friend could have borrowed something of mine and then has no courtesy to return it. At the very least, I expect some sort of notice.

This is my last (or so I hope) request, no, PLEA to whoever it is that STILL (oh yea, this issue hasn't been resolved yet..) has my Bleach cds.

If there is even the most remote chance of it being with you, YES YOU, do me a huge huge favour and check your cd rack, room,..your whole house if necessary.

OR

If there is anyone you so much as wonder about whether or not they have it, ask for me please.


Whoever you are, I promise I won't get mad.

Okay.. I might.

No, I WILL, but can you blame me?

There should be about 10-12 cds so you can imagine how much of a hassle, not to mention what a waste it'll be for me to replace all that.

I just want what's mine back..

Sparks flew high enough

I have to say, I saw it coming.

Inspirational ballads simply aren't his thing. Just like how rock isn't Jordin's thing. I think right after his last performance yesterday, Blake knew the title wasn't his to win.

I just realised, every AI contestant I root for never actually wins. There was Bo, Daughtry, and now Blake and Melinda. I've therefore concluded that American voters typically go for genres along the lines of pop, ballad, country and.. inspirational tunes.

Hmph.

Anyway, here's what I consider to be the highlight of this season's auditions. I can't help but feel like this man deserves an award of some sort...

Mr Sherman at the Los Angeles Audition

My future husband better do something as sweet for me when I'm six feet under or I swear I'll come back to haunt him.

I'm not kidding.

A whole week has gone by and yet, it all still seems so surreal.

Bizarre.

Dreamlike.

Unreal.

I'm trying to make a point here.

JPA has given me a place at the International Medical University. It's extraordinary really. I can't even begin to describe how grateful I feel. I'll be attending a twinning program, which means I'll be doing 5 semesters (30 months) here, and the remaining 5 abroad.

I've received mixed reactions regarding the matter though. I know that some think its 2nd best compared to those that are offered a scholarship overseas for the whole period of their course but they couldn't be more wrong. The way I see it, I'll be able to experience the good of both worlds, plus, I get to be here, a little while longer, with my family. I couldn't ask for more.

I remember a conversation I had with Surekha last year about IMU. Not once did the thought cross my mind that I'd actually make it in. All I could think about was how great it sounded but it wasn't going to be a place for me knowing that not only is it one of our very best, but above all, it's a private institution.

Two years to that though, Medical school and all. A-levels comes first. But hopefully, if all goes well, I'll finally be able to call myself a Medical student.

I know, there's plenty of hard work up ahead but I'm counting on the fact that at the end of the day, it'll all be worth it.

After almost 6 months of being completely idle, it's both exciting and frightening to at last get back to some serious work.

I feel like my dream is gradually becoming less and less of a mere 'dream'. Instead, it's slowly turning into reality.

Get real

Results

Your answers suggest you are a Realist.

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:


Summary of Realists
• Loyal and steady workers who meet deadlines
• Believe in established rules and respect facts
• Think of themselves as mature, stable and conscientious
• May appear too logical or tough-minded and forget their impact on other people

More about Realists
Realists are loyal to the people around them and work hard to keep their promises. They are honest and straightforward with others and expect the same in return. Realists believe in standard procedures and will only support change when there is a demonstrable benefit.

"Realists are the most common personality type in the UK, according to a nationwide survey"

Realists respect factual information, which they store up to use when making decisions. This group likes to have time to think quietly and carefully before taking action.

These extremely productive people like to be occupied in their leisure time with pursuits such as craftwork, hiking or reading.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Realists may become obsessed with schedules, critical of others or have trouble trusting other people to get the job done properly.

Under extreme stress, Realists may complain loudly that events have taken a turn for the worse and predict negative outcomes.

Realists typically only share their opinions or personal experiences with trusted friends.

Realist Careers

Realists are attracted to jobs where decision making based on factual knowledge and experience is required.
You can go here to take the quiz.

I've been offered a place in University Malaya. Which is very good news, of course. But I haven't actually decided whether or not I'm taking it since JPA results aren't out yet.

The speculations over at ReCom.org claimed it'd be announced either on the 9th or 10th but JPA has finally confirmed otherwise.

It's only 2 days away. But this anxiety filled wait almost feels like SPM results day all over again.

I suppose whatever the outcome is, it's a comfort to know I already have something good at hand.

I stole this from your blog


I'm a lady bug.

How lame is that?

I'll tell you.

It's lamer than the lamest of lames.

Well, go on. Try it.

Hope you get a lady bug too. That way you'd be just as lame.



As much as I'd like to complain about this one too, I've got nothing.

Well.. sort of. But I'll spare you the pointless whining.

Blake was super cool tonight.

He did an absolutely brilliant rendition of "You give love a bad name". This Bon Jovi song is an all time favourite of mine, so if he screwed it up, that would have sucked big time. But boy oh boy, he did the exact opposite. He totally nailed it.

Hell yea.

American Idol's Blake Lewis


Melinda, needless to say, was outstanding as always. For someone who doesn't do rock, it hardly
seemed that way. THAT, is what you call a truly great singer.

I think I'd be able to settle with either winning American Idol this time around.

Enough AI then.

Iskandar's party went well. We did though have a few 'surprises' here and there, but nothing unmanageable.

The party crashers for instance. The mere prospect was more hilarious than frustrating really. Imagine, all of a sudden you see some random dude casually walking in, helping himself to the food. Later on I found out my parents had passed out open invitations to those few who kept lingering in front of our house.

Yes, Daddy and Mummy are REALLY nice people.

My long long break is finally coming to an end.

The anxiety is slowly slipping in too. I think more than anything else, I hate the uncertainty of it all. I suppose, on the bright side, I'll only have to wait a week more. Then, it's time to decide what to do and where to go.

I'll have to make the best of whatever time I have left then.
