I've finished! I've finished!! I've finished THE CLINICAL APPROACH TO MEDICINE!!! Ahhh...what a load off my shoulders. I think I can become a doctor now. :p

But...this is only the first reading. I don't think I can make it through the second reading. Hehe...

OH, and then I checked with my editor yesterday and it turned out that she wanted all the "non's" to be hyphenated!!! To think that I had so much fun correcting all those non's with hyphens. Haha...It wasn't so much fun anymore correcting them back...

OK at least I will be a safe distance away from that book for the time being. I'm getting the new book tomorrow. Man! Heard it's more than a thousand pages long.

DID YOU KNOW that Beyonce is only 1.61 m tall??? That makes me a grand total of 1 cm taller than her!!! :-D But wait...that's not all... Sarah Jessica Parker is ONE POINT FOUR. It's. Totally. Unbelievable. I honestly think that 8 Days made a typo error. Heh. Oh, and Jennifer Aniston is 1.5 m...short.

My Thai class is having a gathering soon and THEY CONVENIENTLY MADE ME THE COORDINATOR. Just because I'm the youngest is it??

How did you find American Idol last night?? I thought it was the best night so far... Barry Manilow... Ahh he works wonders for those guys. He's the Copa Cobana guy, the Can't Smile Without You guy, and the I Write the Songs that Make the Whole World Sing guy... And so cool that he specially arranged the music for them. Jasmine was seriously good, as well as Latoya. Thought George was bad. :p But John Stevens was not bad at all! His "Mandy" was pretty good! Why didn't the judges like his performance? Thought he handled the beginning of the song well. Oh, my mum (the judge) says that George should sing Tom Jones or perhaps some Englebert. He really can't do Elton John or Barry Manilow. But I think no one remembers Englebert anymore. I don't even know how to spell his name properly.

Ooh surprise surprise...Just found a song by Engelbert Humperdinck in the laptop I'm using now. Haha. So he sang Quando Quando Quando huh...

This week's 8 Days cover story was Kill Bill Vol. 2. I'm really interested in knowing what Kill Bill Vol. 1 is about. Read so much about it in the papers and stuff... All sorts of words were used to describe it. I didn't understand half of them. I'm really curious.

Read the review of Jamie Cullum's Twentysomething in 8 Days. Sounded really cool! So I decided to join that SMS contest for a FREE CD haha... But I have never done this kind of thing before, except for that time when I sent a postcard in for those CDs that Lifestyle was giving away. Haha that's another story altogether. Was looking through the CDs that were reviewed and finally picked the Love Actually OST because I thought it was more 'wu hua', like, you know, so many songs by different singers in one CD. :p LOL. Anyway, I didn't know how to CHECK if I had won the CD or not!!! Argh. OK set my sights on 8 Days...focus... Haha oh but I didn't know how to type the SMS! LOL this is making me sound really pathetic huh? Well, in the magazine it said to type the (CODE) (NAME) etc...then it said to leave a blank between each field. But I wasn't sure if I had to type the <> or not. I didn't. This is all sounding really bad!!! I'm stopping here...

Hmmm (the thoughtful kind, not the disgruntled one)... It's the first night that I don't have to worry about The Clinical Approach to Medicine. I don't really know what else to do for the rest of the night... LOL. Except, when 10 o'clock comes, then it's time for the American Idol results.

I'm listening to some songs from the Wedding Banquet now. The Perfect Woman is such a cute cute song!!!

[An excerpt]

Guy #1: The perfect woman scholarly / At least a PhD
But just one PhD / She should have two or three
In physics and statistics
Guy #2: Come on be realistic
Guy #1: And classic Russian novels from the 19th century
Guy #2: Now how about her breeding
Guy #1: The finest line of course
Guy #2: For Christ's sakes
Are you looking for / A woman or a horse
Guy #1: Her ancestry is vital
Guy #2: Then find one with a title
And maybe you'll get money / When she sues you for divorce
Guy #1: So what to say / She knows ballet
A girl who's fun / Who packs a gun
Secure like me
Guy #2: She's six foot three
Now Simon please / The girl's Chineseeeee
Guy #1: Ok she's six foot one / She wants to bear my son
Guy #2: Now that'll be something else / Conceiving by herself
Guy #1: A perfect woman / Walks with grace
Guy #2: Is grace a woman too
Guy #1: A perfect woman / Knows her place
Guy #2: And knows it's not with you
Guy #1: The perfect woman's / Not a floozy
Guy #2: But you hope she won't be choosy
Guy #1: She knows traditions must be shown respect /
She knows just what my parents will expect /
She matches every item on my list
The perfect woman / The perfect woman
Guy #2: Does not exist
