Transformers; More Than Meets The Eye
I watched Transformers on monday, and GOSH, it's GOOD!!
action packed and very, very funny. the image of the indian telephone operator is stuck firmly in my head. the only other show that i've really, really enjoyed in recent times is Shrek 3.
oooh, i love Bumblebee.
ok. just realised that the image in xun's entry is also bumblebee... but heck lar. cuz he's my fav autobot!
this movie was worth my $7, definitely. even if it was $9, still worth it. go catch it, everyone! it's more than meets the eye! ;)

guess what, everyone? i've gotten an email from Monash today. and it says that i'm offered a place for medicine over there!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! :))
gosh, i'm basking in pure happiness now. or at least when i first read it hahahaha. the official package and offer letter will reach me in 2 weeks time.
so yep, i'm going to call up smu and give up my place. i'm entering monash with the 2008 intake. so i'm going to be very free, especially when all of you guys start school. will look for a job soon.
it's really interesting to see how my emotions changed with time.
when i first saw the email, i was in total disbelief. had to read it a second time before things started sinking in slowly. then i was totally happy. just numb happiness. first thing i did was to fwd to him the email, then i tried to call him(which he didn't pick up :P). then i told my mom who was about to pass me a postcard about the SMU matriculation (she wasn't sure whether to give it to me. she was afraid that i'd be upset on being reminded that i was to enter SMU). she too, very happy, started calling all the relatives who have been bugging my mom about my uni stuff.
after a while, my emotions became less intensive. it became more of numb, with mini outbursts of joy here and there. when reality sank in (i.e: being alone overseas for at least 5 years, having to leave my love ones, being away from him as he'd be in another part of australia, being lonely and scared and having to make new friends in a totally foreign environment with no support, ETC.), i started panicking. my heart thumped faster, i sweat more. and this horrid weather doesn't help.
also, i started worrying that what if the email wasn't true. what if they pang seh me!! ok play me out is a more appropriate term haha. i need the package, to feel it in my hands, to assure me truly.
in between, i decided to research a little bit on the unis, and thats when discontentment started kicking in, cuz according to wiki monash is the 3rd in ranking amongst the australian unis for med, whereas melbourne is the 1st. aiyar, this is purely an ego problem. a very stupid and redundant ego problem. guess it stems from my anxiety on whether monash is good enough, or if she's better than NUS. and when i tried to find photos of the campus, the very few images i found werent very impressive, and i liked the architecture of the university of melbourne better. that didn't help at all. i like pretty buildings. hahahaha.
but now, i guess all the emotions have started to die down. have a little of all in me. and the discontentment part is quite dissolved. i'm very happy. but i'm still feeling a bit anxious about the cultural differences and my ability to adapt. gaaahh. aiyar. nvm. i have loads of time to prep myself for it.
anyway, thank you, everyone! for your support and belief that i can make it (in business or in medicine). i know i've been a real whiny pig throughout the process of applying for unis, and you people were really sweet to tahan, even giving me words of encouragement! thank you so, so much. :)

lastly, i'd like to leave all of you with this pic:
isn't that so cute?!! gosh, the little girl reminds me of myself when i was a child. this scene happened rather regularly whenever my bros and my cousin tried to steal a kiss from me. oh, those were the days. hahaha.
