Hady Mirza has won the Asian Idol. Can you imagine? A mix faced bloke has been chosen by majority to represent Asian. I was astonished at the result at first but then it eventually seeped in. I guess as a loyal idol audient, I would have bet my fortune for Jaclyn Victor. After watching all of them performed, there is no doubt that Jaclyn really steps up to the title she won in 2004; truly spectacular if I may add. But what to do? The public has chosen and the board agreed to majority votes (not consensus, you see). Again we see a phenomenon which supports my theory – the handsome one always make it! Bahh. Why? Why? Why?

Mother’s birthday came last week. I bought a book for her – ‘The Mummy Diaries.’ I gave it to her just minutes pass twelve; nicely wrapped after checking three times to make sure I haven’t left any trace of the price tag behind (It was really just a cheap book for such an expensive relationship). Wrote, “生日快乐! 今天你最大, 请你make a wish 吧!” Instead of being interested in what I got her, she said, “I didn’t know you were capable of writing Chinese. Hmm. I’m going to bed. It’s late.”

Nonetheless I am happy I got her something. Though there is high possibility that she might not read it (all her books are written in Chinese), I bought it for her anyway. It is one of the moments when your head tells you to get her something more conventional and you just ignore it not because you couldn’t care less, but because you are hoping for her to read something you can share + understand (I get it, I’m on my way learning how to read Chinese ok!).

The neighborhood cats have officially gone berserk. I heard them screaming and scratching each other from my room and immediately went to check them out. Found them both on top of the tree branch (one poised, another dangling). I don’t know how long I can stand hearing their out-of-pitch screeching. Their tempestuous natures are driving me up the walls.

P/S: There are only two reasons why one is allowed to discharge from the hospital. One is when a patient has fully recovered and two, when a patient has lost all hope to recover. I’m afraid this time it is the latter which reigns.
