Please pardon this sudden influx of videos in my blog....but this girl just totally blew me away last night with this performance of hers.
Brooke White is now my favourite ever American Idol contestant. She's got the talent, she's got the looks, she has such as sweet personality. What is there not to like about Brooke? She gave such a heartfelt performance! And she is one of the most genuine contestants the show has ever seen.
Last night's performance of 'Let It Be'
2 weeks ago- a great rendition of 'You're So Vain'
Go Brooke!!
I was diagnosed with Turner's Syndrome when I was 16. Since then, I've been on a journey of ups and downs in my life. This blog chronicles my life so far, right up to the present. Although I face constant struggles daily, but God has always been good to me :) I hope to meet other Turner's Syndrome children one day, and be an inspiration to others. I hope to be someone one day. I have to remind myself daily that I'm someone special, that I'm special in God's eyes. :)

Oh....this is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. This might not be the most interesting scene that you'll ever see, but something about this scene is just eerie...as if setting the couple up for something that is going to happen....
Just watch the actor and actress strut their stuff! This looks like any ordinary Korean drama- except that it's not even a Korean drama.... Do you know what show this is?
Hint 1 : One of my favourite TV shows
Hint 2 : It's great watching Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim show their acting skills...

sick....
I now have a bad cough, sore throat and running nose.
No thanks to the children visiting the clinic where I'm doing my electives.
Hmm.....I wonder how am I ever going to become a doctor like this.....I would get sick every day!

Wow, I feel terrible.
Please remind me to keep my mouth shut and never to blurt out unnecessary things. Even though my statement was meant as a compliment, but you just have to treat it as an insult.
And please don't blame me for being so quiet, I'm just afraid that I'll hurt the feelings of others, that's why I'm an introvert and usually keep my feelings to myself.
And I thought you know me well enough to know that the last thing I would do my entire life is to hurt the feelings of others or look down upon others. I'll rather kill myself than do that, thank you.
Sometimes, I just wanna give up on being nice to others. Things like this just make me think that it's not worth it.
To readers: sorry, just had to vent out on something.

Growing up....
I am not going to reveal my age here, but those who know me know that I look much younger than my age. Well, you might say ' It's that great? I want to be like that too. You'll look 30 when you're 50!'
I've to admit that I actually have a problem with this fact. Everytime someone whom I meet for the first time asks me how old am I, I tend to hesistate to answer the question. Sometimes I beat around the bushes, at other times, I answer 16, which I'm obviously not, if I'm a university student.
Well at times, this does have it's own advantage- e.g. when I can get coach and train tickets for half price whenever I go travelling.But for the most part, I don't think looking so young for my age has it's advantages.
Well, we've to learn to accept the things that we can't change, have the courage to change the things we can, and have the wisdom to discern between the two, right?
Let's move on to the things that I can change then. My personality? The fact that I'm still so dependent on my mum and Uncle David? They keep on saying that I'll grow more independent when I go out to work next time. Yeah, it's true in some ways. I'll be more financially independent then. But...arrghh....I don't know. I just feel that I've been too spoilt all this while.
Maybe it's my fault....that I never proved to my mother than I can really take care of myself. Or maybe it's her fault, she is reluctant to let go of me, and never thought me any life skills when I was young? OR maybe it's both of our faults. Or maybe....it's due to my Turner's Syndrome?
Will I grow up one day? Maybe I'll grow up to be a strong, independent woman when I enter the working world and see the real world? Maybe I'll finally detach myself from my parents when I get myself a boyfriend in the future? I don't know. Life is full of uncertainties, we just have to face each day and each phase of our lives as it comes.

Heroes season 2
Monica Dawson
ElleSo I've just watched the "Heroes' season 2 DVDs which I bought from Bali.
Initially, I just thought of watching for fun...to pass the time. But then, it got me hooked!!
Personally, I think that the second season was even better than the first.
As I've mentioned in an earlier entry, I liked the fact that this new season brought us to at least 4 countries....Feudal Japan, Mexico, Ireland and USA. And I liked the fact that we got to hear Spanish, Japanese and English all in one episode.
But what I liked even more was the fact that they introduced some significant female characters into the show this season . This is what 'Lost' lacked....with the exception of Juliet.
I'm starting to really like the character Monica, who lost her mum in Hurricane Katrina.
She was just an ordinary teenage girl working in a fastfood outlet and had her hopes of going to college ruined as a result of the tragedy. Then after Micah Sanders came to stay with her....she develop a cool new ability....the ability to copy the actions of others on TV.
Elle, Bob's daughter, is also another character to watch for....what with her power of producing electricity from her fingertips.
Maya....and her brother Alejandro, who crossed the border to the US to seek help to control her power of producing poison gas which kills people. It's a pity though that she fell for the wrong guy.....
Oh, I kindof like Caitlin, Peter's new girl too.
And oh yes....how can I forget about Claire's new boyfriend, West- who has the ability to fly and take Claire on dates high up on the sky!
I've to admit that I didn't really dig Hiro's story of being stuck in Feudal Japan and helping Takezo Kenzei to fend off the enemies. It's just like watching an ancient Chinese movie, which I can watch anytime, here in Malaysia.
But I like the main plot of the deadly virus scare. The mystery of how the people in the company which created the virus were murdered one by one, and then discovering who was the culprit behind all that.
And there were several deaths, both real and decoy this season. I shouldn't say too much in case I spoil the story for some of you ;)
