Never really bothered with tags before but since Eunice tagged and called me Miss Cardiff University, Adeline is very flattered and honoured (cheh perasan-nya ku ni!!!). Sigh, why is it that Cardiff Uni doesn't have a beauty pagaent...

Someday We'll Know
A wise person once said, "24 hours is insufficient not for the busy, but for those with ill-managed time..."
A-huh. Such as moi.
So much to do, so much to think about, so little time, so CLICHED!
How???
Yours truly have been back for almost 2 weeks now, but she's still in holiday mood, and mode. 4th year is hot on her heels and yet she's not in the right frame of mind for school.
How???
Since she's been back, she's attended 3 interviews for pre-registration positions (just know it as training jobs is good enough). One was good, one was bad, one was ok. People say it usually gets better but for her, it seemed to go downhill after round 1...
Why???
Her last round of interview (in Brighton) left her slightly scarred. It was for a hospital she's previously worked for and had gotten rather satisfactory feedback. Yet she was rejected a place.
Why???
Thankfully, she's been offered a position with Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospital NHS Trust, but the twist is that she will be spending 50% of her time (equalling 25 weeks) at Harefield Hospital (all the way in rural Middlesex) while the other 25 weeks will be at Royal Brompton in Fulham. It takes almost 1.5 hours to travel to Harefield from South Kensington (where hospital accommodation is based). 3 precious hours everyday merely for getting to and off work.
How???
Should she take it or leave it???
She is mentally tired. Yet couldn't sleep.
How???
She thought of watching some movies from her DVD collection to chill for a bit, but found that her D: Drive has miraculously removed itself from the system and she's left with no D: Drive.
How???
She looked at the pile of things waiting for her to clear. Documents, receipts, letters, timetables, 4th year module handbook. The last thing caught her eye. Maybe reading this may make her want to go to bed, and actually put her to sleep. But the light suddenly went off...
She realised the fluorescent bulb has fused, but the hall maintenance guy will only be back on Monday, so she would have to live in the dark till then.
How???
This song came on her radio player...
So many questions...Need an answer...I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow...I watched the stars crash in the sea...If I could ask God just one question...Why aren't you here with me?...Tonight...
I guess Someday We'll Know, baby. Someday.
A-huh. Such as moi.

(Leaving) Home
Alas, my 45 day summer holidays at home has come to an end...
No emoticon or words could illustrate how sad I am at the prospects of leaving the comforts of family company, good food, nostalgic catching-ups, and human-friendly temperatures...
I'm going back to the UK rather early this year as I am anticipating a few interviews for hospital training jobs, but so far there's only one, and that's all the way in High Wycombe which is in Buckhinghamshire. Will update y'all on that when I have more good news.
I came across this question in a book some time ago - what is the meaning of life?
It's a good thing I've not been asked that in the face before, as I ain't got a clue. Or rather, I've never really sat down and think about something as blank-cheque as that (too busy enjoying myself haha?). Nonetheless, I've been prompted - and inspired - by certain things of late to be more reflective and inquisitive.
I'm not saying this is it, as it'll indefinitely be refined along the journey, but for now here's my take on that...
I think life is about having hope. It's about finding and seeking the good in trying times, and remembering that nothing is ever as bad as it seems.
With best wishes...XXX
p/s: Will update my blog once I've properly settled down in Cardiff...I know I owe you lot some pictures!

Heartiest thanks to the TAN family for all the TLC they've showered me with! To all with whom I have met up in the course of the last 6 weeks, thank you for the good (and food) times. Do keep in touch and I look forward to the next time we see each other again!
With best wishes...XXX

I fit the bill, Hans!
Over the last few days, I've been leafing through a pile of newspapers at home, which is sitting there by the staircase, waiting to be recycled.
What was I looking for? Nothing much lar, just interesting articles that I might have missed out on in the last few months.
And it was probably Cupid's doing that I stumbled upon this particular edition of Sunday Metro. Dated 29 July 2007.
It features Hans Isaac! Currently Malaysia's most eligible bachelor, I think. Me and a girl pal was just talking about him the other day when we met up for lunch and here he is, right in front of my eyes, smiling!
What a heart-melting picture...
I quickly flip to the 3rd page to read the article.
It reads...
"He is adventurous, romantic, successful and good with kids. And the best part - the handsome Hans Isaac is single, and looking for an ideal life partner."
...
...
...
Han's idea of an ideal woman is: someone who is truthful, genuine, and adventurous.
Wait a minute.
I FIT THE BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Do, I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HANS ISAAC, LOOK NO MORE! HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!
Oops. The entire pile of newspapers have fallen onto my skinny shins and it's hurting the bones out of me. Hmm, maybe I'm to be blamed because the whole thing had been tilted off balance after I dug out this Hans Isaac pullout....
You know, it's hard not to daydream about a guy who's a "self-professed neat freak who ensures that everything is spick and span around the house". "I am the sort of guy who has no qualms doing the chores. I can't really cook but my house has to be sparkling clean."
BRING ME THE PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And YELLOW PAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And while I look through 3 million phone numbers in Klang Valley for the man's line, here's something about Hans from the article...
