to take a break from random commentary on current issues which I realise I've been doing lately, I have only one thing to say about the church-bombing incident that took place today in our country: It's FCUKING brainless. (typo intended)

I could go on but, nah, we'll just sit on the fence (for the time being) and scrutinise how our dear government will respond and react to this historically-important (albeit not in a positive light) event. I wonder if this will be recorded in our future history textbooks? To quote a friend's witty comment: "Oh Allahku, berkatilah negaraku Malaysia..." Thumbs up!

Anyway, MPYO internal audition scores have arrived today at my mailbox. Unnervingly, the Overture Miniature from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker has found its way into one of the excerpts! And a passage from Mozart's Symphony No.40 in G minor...! Oh gosh..! Curiously, the other two scores are unmarked, one looks suspiciously like an excerpt from a Mahler symphony. The other? I have NO idea. Great, I better revive my practice routine! What? Class next Saturday? D.I.E. My music studies are really falling apart.

And that's not the only thing. There are so many decisions that have yet to be made.

1) Which college?
2) Which intake?
3) Subjects combination? No Literature? Business studies or Psychology?
4) Part-time job?

So 11 years of formal schooling has led me to this path diverged in two ways? Should I take the road less travelled by? Should I act accordingly to societal norms?
I just realised how much I love Literature and at the same time how terribly I detest it. It's another love-hate relationship. Really, in each relationship the presence of both is inevitable. And the way we embrace the differences is an embodiment of our personality.

Good luck to everyone who's starting college! And yes, Louise, Economics was a cool decision.
