My Idol

Swift, strong and elusive

Meet: The great Pronghorn antelope that can run up to speeds of 96 km/h, and sustain this over long distances and across rough terrains. When running, they get lower and lower to the ground - stretching as far as they can with each step. Pronghorn antelopes always keep their mouths open when they run, saving energy by curtailing the resistance of expelled air.

Run like an animal.

I need more words in my blog.

3 weeks..

I have planned and packed nothing.

In fact I keep buying more things (completely unnecessary).

Like yesterday I went and bought 9 pieces of wrapping paper.

For those of you who don't already know, I am a collector of wrapping paper.

Yep, complete waste of money.

And then I went and bought a faded purple high-waist skirt from MNG which I will never wear (except maybe to parade around my room with, and which Sarah B can attempt to stuff herself into :P)

O ya she gave me a Marc Jacobs bag yesterday tee hee!

Eh pleaseeee go listen to all things Bob Sinclair.. Absolutely wonderful house music. iLove!

And I also love Lily Allen now thanks to Jas.

Two completely different genres of music :P

I missed my morning runnnnnnnnnnn and the weather looks so good today.. Useless I am. Going for RPM in about 20 minutes.

Oh oh Nadal playing today at 4 p.m. :) Channel 813 people!

Ok anyway I should go continue reading my story book because I have 17 unread books left which I cannot lug with me to Melbourne. Unnecessary weight.

BAI

P.S: My mum is going to go complain to JPA because:

(a) There are some JPA scholars going to Monash Uni for medicine.

(b) They only allowed me to choose between Melb Uni, Sydney Uni, or ANU to do medicine even though I got into UNSW and UWA as well

(c) Those three unis are all graduate entry for medicine

(d) Therefore I must do a double degree

(e) Therefore I will have to spend another 2 extra years in uni

(f) Therefore my bond is longer

I mean I am already being pinalised by having to obtain two degrees and then I have to go through all the nonsense of reapplying for a Medicine scholarship because it's a double degree program.. And you know at first they wouldn't give me a scholarship because they said "it's graduate entry, our country doesn't recognise it" but then how do you expect me to do medicine if you only allow me to apply to unis with graduate entry requirements and then you say "we don't accept double degree programs"? So my mum had to go meet this person and that person and make a big fuss so finally they approved the double degree thing so I got my scholarship, but still it's only for Biomedicine, and that is not enough. And then here there are people going to Monash or whatever for undergraduate medicine without having to go through all that fuss. Pfffft.

For Mum

Happy birthday to the most gorgeous woman in the world.. I love her so, so much. I was planning to give her my book "Letters to my Mother" (compilation of daily letters to her) but then decided to save it for our last day together in Melbourne. So I baked her apple crumble instead. She is wonderful in every conceivable way and is so very patient with all my nonsense, always forgives me, and loves me unconditionally.

Foetus

Shoulders so

delicate like

little buttercups,

paper-thin skin

like silk.

And the lightly

patterned blue

veins, like

tiny streams.

Slowly forming fists,

pink fingers curled

inwards.

(and beating heart,

gentle, yet

so fiery,

so full of life!)

Birthdays

7th January seems to be a pretty popular date... First we have:

My dad! Happy birthday dad.

Thanks for first instilling in me the love for running, for so meticulously choosing my organic fruits and veggies and spending RM2.5k a month on my food alone, and for always saying 'yes' when we go shopping. Heheheh!!

Next, Grandma. She has no idea what a blog is (not that my dad does either) but anyway I LOVE YOU GRANDMA.. You're the absolute coolest.

Yes, my friends. That is my pimpin' Grandma, who is 80 years old today. She dances and goes "nip nip nip" too when she wants to say something but forgets what.

And finally.. My gym companion, confidante, and late night/early morning chat buddy.. Pin!

Have a great day guys! :)

Happy New Year!

It feels so weird writing 2010 instead of 2009.
