JP, it's nice to see you back, and thanks a lot for writing! :)

More Claymania, haha :P

Clip of Clay as Santa Claus -- very sweet :) Click on the photo to watch ( he was 20 years old here ).

If his November schedule is anything to go by, Clay has got some free time on his hands in the next few weeks. Hopefully he will head home for a short spell and get some rest. I worry about his health and that precious voice -- with all the public appearances and demanding performances, that last thing he needs right now is a sore throat.
Plus, if he goes home, the package from Singapore will be waiting for him. :D His friend, Suzanne, who's also the president of the official Clay Aiken fan club in the US, has already expressed thanks to us (via email) on his mother Faye's behalf. You're most welcome, Mrs. Parker. :)

Projections for CD sales in the first week of release for Measure Of A Man so far are around 750,000 in the US alone. But it's hard to tell really. He may hit platinum in record time yet. :)

The local Clay Aiken fan party approaches ( it's this Saturday ), and we're all very excited about it! More on that the day after. :D

Last but not least, here's the link to another insightful interview with Clay from PBS Kids. A must read!


I was trying to get some studying done in between patients, but the shift isn't allowing for it at all. One senior nurse tells me our ER has a reputation for being super-fast, so people from the opposite end of the island sometimes end up here. Then, there are those who just bypass the polyclinic and GP completely, coming to us instead because they don't have to wait as long. Aaargh! Is it any surprise that we're seeing record numbers of flus, mild sprains and other non-emergency cases?!

Watch tomorrow's episode of "The Bachelor 3". Remember how I mentioned that the lady of Andrew's choice is being played down this season to keep things "mysterious"? The trailer suggests otherwise for the next installment. I really like this lady, and won't miss it for the world. How and why does Andrew change his mind suddenly, choosing to spend time alone with her and ditching the over-confident, materialistic and very unpopular Kirsten/Kristen in the process? Can't wait to find out!
