I couldn't open my Yahoo! mail, couldn't log on to Blogger (beta) and my Streamyx broadband connection was unstable. So silly me made the amateur mistake of not copy and paste my text before posting comments and saving my posts! :( Dida and Davi did this question thingy which I found interesting and which I answered all 11 freaking questions, and the whole page just went offline on me, and hence my almost one-hour worth of post was lost, forever... couldn't even recover the post. :(
No chance of me redoing the questions.
The worst part was that I could have prevented it.
And I have been crying and sobbing periodically over the last 2 days because of the reruns of Steve Irwin's shows! I'm not sure why but I'm so affected by his untimely death. I was crying and crying watching especially the segments on his children and all his conservation programmes... and even the segment on his late doggie, Sui. It's like something really blunt piercing my heart through and through.
I really can't believe that he's dead. It's just so not right.
The last time I cried like this was 5 months back when the vet told us that my very blind 16-year-old mongrel, Stryker, was dying of heart failure. I never prayed so hard in my life. Stryker was coughing really badly... and for a couple of weeks he seemed to be going downhill... but guess what? Today, 5 months later, his cough is gone, and he's still eating well, and very happy I must add. But I know I must prepare myself for the innevitable, his heart may decompensate anytime.

On a lighter note, news from a colleague who called the Health Ministry again, enquiring about our posting... they sent out our letters on Thursday (yesterday la) which means we should we getting them soon. And now they're saying we start on the 18th of this month.
If that's true, my destiny is sealed in an envelope somewhere, together with thousands and thousands of other letters.
But until I see the little bugger, I'm not buying the news.

Yesterday I had a craving for Foochow food. So I had "tian pian hu" for breakfast, and then I went to the 20% Discount Store at Jalan Keretapi (because Adeline told me there's a small shop inside that sells "kompiah"!) and bought 1 packet of 5 pieces of baby "kompiah" with sesame seeds, and another packet of 4 pieces of big plain "kompiah".
There's only one left in the fridge now. The other seven pieces, erm, I ate them all myself! *shy* Had them for lunch yesterday and breakfast this morning! :) So happy!

Been sleeping 3/4am for the last week or so watching the US Open. The biggest news so far is that Nadal is out! Because he's the only one with the real potential to defeat Federer in the final, so that's why it's news. :)
Larry King asked Andre Agassi who he thought would win the 2006 US Open.
"Umm... that would be Federer, or the guy who beats him. " :)
I watched the Federer-Blake match this morning which of course Federer cruised through. So disgusted with the american crowd/audience in centre court! Cheering when Federer double-faulted or netting the ball??? I know la Blake's from NY... but please show some class ok? Tennis' a classy sport! Gentlemen's sport, remember???

So to cheer myself up, also cheer you guys up, here's another pair of earrings from my collection! This is a delicate pair, and I usually have to tie my hair up to wear them because it's black (cannot see with hair down) and it's so light and can easily get tangled with my hair.

hey, the 3 fav blogs u mean mine issit???????????? hahahaha!!!
oh yeah, if i were u and the whole page went offline after i'd been labouring for an hour plus I WOULD GET BLOODY FRIGGIN PISSSED AS HEELLLLLLLL
you can call them anything you like! earrings here are damn cheap la. my theory: they produced too many and sold them too expensive when they were in fashion... so not many people thought they were worth it... now they are selling some pretty nice looking ones for rm10/- for 3 pairs!
we cool people don't have to worry about them being in fashion or not... we make them in fashion! hehe. :)
psst, psst... yes, your blog is one of my favs... :)
thanks dav! have a great weekend!
Chau chai hu nan?! Apa tu!
