the way she shouted into the phone, the tone, freaks me totally.
would usually be scared when she raises her voice just a little,
like when she scolds me for coming home late or not allow me to stayover at friend's place.
i'd freak and all the talk bout rebelling's thrown outta the window.
[i'm a good girl really. HAHA]
thank *** the person she was scolding wasn't me. would have bawled.
feel sad for her and daddy.

PETALING JAYA - TUN Dr Mahathir Mohamad yesterday said he no longer supported Deputy Premier Najib Razak for prime minister.
At a raucous event attended by more than 1,500 Umno members, he said: 'Previously, I said Najib but I have changed my mind.'

Tun Dr Mahathir had called on his successor, Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, to resign and hand over power to Datuk Seri Najib the day after the ruling Barisan Nasional suffered unprecedented losses in the March 8 polls,

But the Deputy Premier himself quickly pledged loyalty to Datuk Seri Abdullah.

Last week, it is understood that the Prime Minister announced to Umno's governing council that Datuk Seri Najib would be his running mate at the Umno election in December.

But while he withdrew his endorsement of Datuk Seri Najib, Tun Dr Mahathir stopped short of saying which candidate he preferred.
------
Former premier, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, in his inimitable style, yesterday ridiculed his successor and here are some of the things he said about Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi's leadership.

'Even his own state (Penang) was captured by the opposition. Never before did we have a Prime Minister from an 'enemy' state. Is he not ashamed?'

'I know the candidate list did not come from the chief ministers. They brought the list to Sultan Abdullah Shah, and the list is taken to the office next door. It is inspected there (by the so-called Fourth Floor advisers) before being sent back to Sultan Abdullah.'

'I admit I was a reason why the BN lost. I cannot support a leader who is not good for the country and party. I couldn't support all candidates but I said they should pick good people.'

NEW YORK - THE already crazed competition for admission to America's most prestigious universities and colleges became even more intense this year.
Harvard, for example, offered admission to only 7.1 per cent of high school seniors who applied, compared to 9 per cent last year.

Put another way, it rejected 93 out of every 100 applicants, many of them with extraordinary achievements like a perfect score on one of the SAT exams.

Yale accepted 8.3 per cent of its 22,813 applicants, down 0.7 per cent from last year. Both rates were record lows.

Columbia admitted 8.7 per cent of its applicants and Brown University and Dartmouth College 13 per cent - all the figures being at least one percentage point less than last year. Bowdoin College and Georgetown University allowed 18 per cent - also record lows.

The eight Ivy League colleges sent out acceptance and rejection letters on Monday.

'For the schools that are perceived to have the most competitive admissions processes, there has been this persistent rise in applications,' said Mr Jeffrey Brenzel, dean of undergraduate admissions at Yale.

Ten years ago, slightly fewer than 12,000 students applied to Yale, compared with the 22,813 who applied this year, he said.

Yale's admittance rate - the proportion of applicants offered admission - was nearly 18 per cent in 1998, more than double the rate this year.

At Harvard, as at Yale, the applicant pool included an extraordinary number of academically gifted students.

More than 2,500 of Harvard's 27,462 applicants scored a perfect 800 on the SAT critical reading test, and 3,300 scored 800 on the SAT maths exam. More than 3,300 were ranked first in their high school class.
