In Every Rainbow There's A Silent Storm

Anticipating and waiting are two killer combos. Especially when exam results are being posted from 5-8 (GMT +10:00) and everyone's dying to see whether they've gotten a High Distinction for their subjects. One can practically hear the nail biting from miles away.

For me, I didn't want to see a Failure next to any of the subjects I took last semester. Much to my delight, not only did I manage to pass the worst ever subject I've ever come across, I manage to get a Distinction for my Writing class. Ecstatic, I jumped up and down, fell off my chair and started calling my friends to celebrate the fact that: I didn't fail any of my subjects.

So where to celebrate such an occasion? Why, Tony Romas of course! Firstly cause I've never been there and I heard the beef ribs there were to die for and it's near. So there I was, masticating on a piece of meat when I received an unexpected call from a friend Debs. Debbie was part of my study group for the nastiest subject called Cultural & Communications Policy and she basically brought me up to date on all the terminology and jargons, the Malaysian policies, etc. She taught me a lot. So what did 'lil miss Debbie want all the way from Melbourne? To gloat? Unfortunately her voice was rather upset and she asked me what I got for CCP. Telling her I managed to get a borderline pass, she broke down into tears and was apparently shocked that I managed to pass. Honestly, insults below the belt from a girl who's highly upset is unacceptable but I brushed it off aside.

She apparently flunked her subject and asked me what should she do, expecting me to be the King of all Failures and that of all people, I would know what to do. Well that was an unfortunate event. But made me feel better since I know I manage to do a much better job than she did.

So to top off the evening, I came home to 2 fully downloaded albums which I'm currently listening to and am absolutely heads over heels over.

Readers, here's a must-listen-to album that you guys have got to get your hands on.


Dolores O'Riordon - Are You Listening
(Only for Rock fans and people who loved The Cranberries & Dolores' haunting voice)
Tracks to look out for: Ordinary Day, Angel Fire, When We Were Young, Apple of My Eye.

&


Feist - The Reminder
(Those who love dinner music with a glass of wine, folk music, women with fantastic vocals)
This album is seriously fantastic. The whole CD comprises of marvelous folk music that will go great with a couple of drinks with friends, in your car when you're driving and it's definitely good for Morning music.
Favourite Tracks: Past In Present, So Sorry, The Water, My Moon My Man, I Feel It All, etc etc.

Seriously folks, I ain't getting any money from them so this isn't considered advertising (well it can be considered UNPAID advertising).

I just got a call from Eric telling me he's got free tickets to LQ's Sports Party event or something along the lines of that. Of course I gotta go, it'll be rude if I don't turn up right?

It's been an awesome day. Nothing can kill this buzz.
