I'll no longer be a virgin this Saturday!

And the month of May has arrived.

I'm in the midst of my study week for the coming exam.

School's been pretty fast-paced and intensive. But I'm hoping I'll be able to pull through.

It's been pouring heavily these few days. And always in the afternoon hours. But I love the rain. A nice change from the lethargic heat of the sun.

My country's up for elections this Saturday. And I'll be casting my "virgin vote", like how a friend puts it.

I've been trying my best to follow election-related news, if not for my heavy workload. I already can't help feeling guilty if I blindly cast my vote on Saturday without knowing any of the proposals put up by the contestants. Definitely not how I want my "virgin vote" to be.

And then suddenly another big story emerged on the world stage: Osama bin Laden was shot dead.

Oh boy, I was ecstatic. It was better than watching how the bad guys die in a movie - this time it was real! But I felt they wanted to temper the story a little. I mean, why can't we see Osama's body? The statements were all very brisk and a little hushed up. Maybe it's because they don't want to provoke the remaining terrorists by blatantly celebrating Osama's demise.

Either way, world leaders have also warned about a possible retaliation from the terrorists. So we're back on alert, no doubt.

Anyway, that's about all I can say for now. Here's to an uncertain future...
