My "YEAH" song

When I feel pek check, this song always picks me up and gets me going. ;)

Stepping into the real world

Recently Wei Wei wrote a post on her blog about feeling nervous at the thought of stepping into the working world. I guess I can totally echo that thought. After so many years of student life, all of a sudden (well, ok, not that sudden) we're actually going to do something in the real world! Work! Earn money! Be productive! I stress out just at the thought of it. Am I going to be able to cope with the demands on my future job? Can I fit in with the rest of the team? Will my colleagues think I'm stupid? Will my manager dislike me? Will I get my H1B visa? All these questions rage in my mind everyday, together with other questions like "am I going to graduate in time?", "how am I going to finish my thesis??"... It's enough to drive anyone up the wall.

But deep down, I think we'll be fine. Despite all these worries and uncertainties, I think we'll cope, in the end. We didn't go through twenty four years of life to break down like that.

The Sanjaya Phenomenon

Ok. I admit that I don't follow American Idol, but I just could not ignore the so-called "Sanjaya Phenomenon". He was said to be supported by young girls and people like Howard Stern. Anyway, just out of curiosity I decided to check him out on YouTube.

Turns out I didn't think he wasn't so bad! I actually liked this performance...it's not easy to carry that tune, and he has a beautiful smile! Haha! Although he has been voted off American Idol, I'm sure this won't be the last we've seen of him.

A little too late, isn't it?

I was doing my daily browsing of The Star when I came across this article: "Bad English added to list of things Beijing Olympic officials want to ban". I thought it was a joke when I first read the title. Olympics is next year, so isn't it a little bit too late to start working on improving your English now?
