First cut is the deepest
It's true what they say... And it applies to rejections too... The first one is always a bigger blow, harder to swallow, leaves you at a lost and takes a long time to recover from. But once you gets past that, life goes on..
You learn to move on and accept subsequent rejections better.. You'll learn to plan a new/better strategy and work harder. You'll learn that things dont always (usually almost never) turn out the way you want but you've just got to make the best out of what you have, work with that and be happy with what you can accomplish and not complain about what you have missed.
I have officially received my 'first' rejection today though the pre-rejection wake up call came awhile back. So yes, I'm disappointed! And yes it sucks (big time)! But the good thing is I'm ready to pick up and move on..
I just did!

Today: I'm reminded once again that gloves make your hands stink! Ugh..
Today: Lab didn't turn out so bad... for once! :)
Today: I learnt why ammonia was used to help wake an unconscious person.. Bad doesnt even begin to describe the smell...
Today: I missed a phone call from PG!! Ahh...
Today: I missed another chance to donate blood! Sigh...
Today: I almost fell asleep in anatomy class...(!!!) Thank god for lecturers who know how to tell a good joke when you need it most :D
Today: I have to decide between want and 'obligation'.. (has never really been a choice for me)
Today: I think I saw a good example of opposites attract.. hmm...
Today: I've got tonnes to do... so I'd better get cracking *SIGH*

Are go-getters made or born?
I hope they are made!
'his majesty' supposedly made a very good profit out of a condo he bought some time ago... As much as I may not agree with his way of doing things and all... I have to admit that there are things I admire about him.. His certainty and drive to work towards his goal (to be filthy rich.. ok so I dont think that's the best goal in the world one could come up with.. but that's not the point..) The point is he knows what he wants and he really find ways to make it happen.. He makes the most out of everything that comes his way and he even makes opportunities when none presents itself. Ah.. To be that certain of what I want.. Wouldnt life would be so much easier then..
AH! Been distracted by that very entertaining conversation from this morning.. SO much so I have yet to make progress on my work! Running out of time.. alpha amylase inhibitor... here I come...

Ada kala memang sangsi diri sendiri ni baik kah atau bodoh kah. Sebenarnya ada banyak yang ingin dikatakan, tapi kadang kala memang susah untuk membuka mulut. Lebih-lebih lagi terhadap orang yang sudah diketahui tidak bersependapat dengan diri sendiri. Mungkin benar lebih baik untuk berdiam diri di kala sebegini... Bukannya ku tak tahu apa yang ingin dikatakan tu berkemungkinan besar akan menyinggung perasaan orang lain... rasa-rasanya sebenarnya itulah faktor terbesar yang menyumbang kepada keputusan ku akhirnya.
Tapi sebenarnya di hati memang ada ketidakpuasan. Akhirnya, yang susah juga diri sendiri... Perlu mencari cara mengatasi rintangan hati... Ah.. Tiba-tiba teringat pula nilai moral yang perlu dihafal dahulu... Bertimbang rasa.. Tapi tidak lagi ku ingat setiap perkataan dalam ayat penjelasannya... yang ingat hanya sesuatu yang memiripi: mengambil kira perasaan orang lain... Ah.. Sememangnya mengambil kira perasaan orang lain itu suatu perkara yang baik, tapi apabila diri sendiri pula yang rasa terbeban... Tidak terkawal diriku memikir adakah keputusan dan akhirnya tindakanku tu sebenarnya bodoh...
