Ok…I don’t know why but my internet doesn’t seem to want to go into blogger. Going online now is such a chore because the internet connection is so slow. I don’t know if it’s just mine or because of the earthquake in Taiwan that affected all the internet cables underground and stuff. But in any case, I’m drafting up my post on Microsoft word first than post it up once I can get into my account.

Yesterday I went to school for exco meeting, then council meeting, then dv china thing. The council meeting was rather long and dreary since we went through all the details during exco meeting already. But we survived! Hehe. Ooh…and did I mention that my tablet crashed on me after serving me faithfully for 3 whole years without any problems? Yea… think it is a virus or something. Luckily I managed to rescue my dec holiday homework files, if not I would be weeping like mad now as I’ve spent more than 20 hours on them. Yup…so I sent my trusty old tablet for repair ytd after council meeting. Was supposed to get one for the time being to do my homework, but the TA don’t have anymore for loan! Argh…so now I have to fight for the house comp together with my other 2 brothers.)= I hope mala calls me today to tell me that the tablet is fixed! She is this rather new lady TA that’s super nice. Different from the rest of the TAs. She even offered to meet me at the mrt or something to make it easier for me to pick up my tablet. And she promised to back up all my docs if my hard disk is not corrupted. I hope she does cuz I have loads of pictures and lesson notes inside which are like super precious to me. Hiaz…the trouble that technology brings when it breaks down. Yet it brings us so much convenience when they are working fine. IRONY.

And we finally completed the DV campus video!!! It’s quite nice la. Our effort what! Hahas. I hope mrs lee doesn’t do much changes to it. But I bet she will. Anyhows, I do hope we can qualify into the finals or something. Then it would be so cooled! Then Fiona the ego will get to be famous and we will appear in her thank you speech or sth! (= yes, we were all fantasizing away. Editing the dv video was fun esp when xinliang was super slow and blur today. Laugh like a lot a lot!

Went over to ikea to eat with Fiona at around 4. ate meatballs and salmon salad…then cheesecake after that. Was feeling so so full! But the cheesecake is really good. Everyone should go try it! It’s dense and yet not too rich…the taste of cheese is there but not so strong till it makes u want to puke. I’ll definitely get more of it if I go there! (=

Walked around blooomington while waiting for dad to pick me as it was raining cats and dogs. I saw loads of interesting stuff! I want the meiji dark chocolate puzzle ($10) and the vital for life woman ($10). The chocolate thing is actually this big bar of choc which can be used to play puzzles then later u can eat it. Cool??? It’s definitely something for a chocoholic like me! –hinthint!- actl I’m not much of a chocoholic as compared to chuting cuz she really eats chocolate like it’s part of her everyday menu. Hahas. The vital for life thing is actually bible verses in a medicine bottle. It’s really cute and meaningful don’t you think? I can just keep it in my school bag and bring it around. Picking one out at random times. (=

Ooh..and tecman is having sale. So if anyone wants Christian books etc, just tell me and I can lend you my card. (=

Ok long post. Gtg now! I won’t be updating much till my tablet comes back at least.

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me –phil 4:13

Ok…not sure if I have used this heading before in my previous few posts, but I just really love this verse a lot.

Anyway, I finally got down to clearing my table just now. I’m not totally done yet but let’s just say I’m half done. Was reading through letters which I’ve found lying around in my ‘mailbox’. Of course I don’t mean mailbox literally, but remember in sec 1 or 2 when we used the acrylic plastic to do a brochure holder thingy during dnt? Mine’s still sitting on my desk and I usually put letters there when I’m lazy to put it inside the box I use to keep all my letters (yes, I do keep every single letter I receive as long as they are in hardcopy). Yups, so I was reading through them. I’m just really glad that God has given me such wonderful friends. Some might have drifted apart sometime this year, but I’m happy that we had fond memories last time. I’m just grateful that person was once a good friend or something. And I realize how easy it is for someone to promise to be there for you but actually she isn’t. Makes me all the more cautious now when I make promises. It’s just not nice to say something but be unable to fulfill it later. Or even worst just plain forget about it.

Ok…here’s something I ripped off from lynette’s blog. (hope she doesn’t mind)

"True friends are the life buoys you cling to stoutly in the sea changes going on around you,
the compass that points to the path of correctness when you are lost,
the oxygen tank to sustain you during moments of breathless exertions in life,
and the anchor to ensure you don't drift away a destructive tide of alcohol, gambling, drugs and extravagance." -TODAY paper page 36

Meaningful don’t you think? The way they describe the role of friends in ones life. Just think about it. Think of the times you spent with your friends. I’m sue you would agree with me if u really have friends who care.

Alright. Just a short post for now. I still cant seem to get into blogger. =(
