Ramblings About My Life..

A Hectic Week....

Just so you know, the entries on this blog are merely interim and are basically just for me to get a 'feel' of the system here. Since I'm no great shakes at HTML (even though I'd taken classes way back in secondary school...seems those classes are wasted...haha), these entries are for me to decide if this blog fits the criteria of the kind of blogs that I prefer - that is, low-maintainence and fuss-free!

Anyway, just came back from futsal, where the diminished PM1 team played against another class as well as Paul's 'juniors' (they're damn big sized, what the hell do they eat?) and it was a helluva tiring match. Chye Hing and I played against Paul's juniors only - and I managed to score a goal! Muhahaha... Not bad for a guy who only months before didn't know how to kick a ball! I must say, my stamina isn't exactly up to standards yet...I was nearly dying by the end of the match - just guess I'm not up to playing full-length games, one after another. Must start training soon! Thankfully, there was a cold bath as panacea for my aching body - and a blood-filled blister on the sole of my right foot. Hallelujah for running water!

Summary Of Futsal Match -
Goals scored - 1
Goals nearly scored - 1
Tries - I lost count after 6
Casualties - Nearly killed Chye Hing by colliding into him at high speeds
Personal injuries - A blood-filled blister (again?)
Cost - RM5.00 excluding RM3.00 for the three bottles of water consumed

By the way, earlier this week (or was it late last week?) I received a conditional offer from the University of Sheffield (as well as a rejection letter from the University of Newcastle...hahaha)! Surprise, surprise! I applied via UCAS just to "look-see" and frankly, I never expected to get an offer - much less invitation to interviews, but I somehow wrangled two from the University of Sheffield and the University of Liverpool. I was just trying out for the heck of it...hahaha.. I even told Dad that he shouldn't harbour any hopes of me getting a place even though I told him I gave it my all.. Anyway, this offer certainly made my week! Got to work extra hard to acheive the necessary grades to get in - musn't disappoint my parents! Currently, I'm just waiting to get the other decisions from the two other universities and the Replying to Offers letter from UCAS - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Just in case.

Received an invitation for an interview with Penang Medical College just yesterday, and I was asleep when they called me (one of my rare afternoon siestas). Guess the lady calling was rather taken aback when she passed me the happy news and all I could manage to say was Oh, okay... I think she was expecting a little more enthusiam or happiness, but hey, I was sleeping just moments before! With my sleep interrupted, I went to the living room and received another call. My first thought was that Penang Medical College had contacted me because they had withdrawn my interview offer due to my 'lack of interest' as I sounded rather dead when they first contacted me. To my surprise, it was Anne, and she was literally bursting with happiness as she told me that she had received an invitation for an interview too! Hahaha... She wasn't very confident about her chances of getting an interview just days before - look at her now!

Congrats, Anne!
