Rei ~~I’ve survived six days of being without internet -le gasp- Apparently the thunderstorm that hit our area killed our AlphaShield plug, which eventually caused the end of internet for myself for five days. Le horreur!

Twenty-one days and counting. This trip will be very exciting, and I’m making my parents book our usual hotel in Singapore before we leave for Taiwan and Indonesia. What’s a trip without going to Singapore XD These days I’ll be counting to be something to look forward to, especially on “certain” days. Everyone in the house is in a frenzy; my parents insist that we start packing up (After all, it will be a long trip), not that I mind, but my sisters insist they can do last-minute packing. Hmmm… my parents haven’t called my Grandma yet… =\

We’ll be staying with her for the trip, and one of my aunts and her family are staying there because her house is being renovated. That’s the least of my annoyances — my other cousins who will be visiting are likely to stay at Grandma’s house often =\ I’m also bringing my flute to be repaired… seeing as the cost here is 3x more than there.

My Dad and I walked to Best Buy again. Actually, it wasn’t even to Besy Buy, we actually ended up going to Chapters XD A good way to exercise, and burn some calories. The exact distance I don’t really know, but it’s likely to be ~10KM to and back. Went to FutureShop that just opened in the area to find my PSP!! My sister is getting a PS, but still haven’t decided on PS2 or PS3. Speaking of which, I need to buy new DDR games — and maybe a new mat in Singapore.

This article made me happy =)

If you’ve spent a lifetime losing arguments to your older brother or sister, there’s likely a good reason for it.

Chances are they really are a little smarter than you.

A study of more than 240,000 Norwegian teenagers says that first-born children are, on average, 2.3 IQ points more intelligent than the next kid in line…

CSS/HTML-wise, I’ve updated my WP stylesheet, and the “comments” page. Added a footer that finally works, and updated the colors of the italic and underline values.

At the Dolphin BayI’ve been re-watching At the Dolphin Bay again >____< It's an awesome story -- especially the parts with Xu Ce Ya and Tian Bien after they found out she was Xiao Phing Kai. The storyline is somewhat better than 100% Senorita, especially since Wallace Huo has a better role in At the Dolphin Bay, and Ambrose Xu is in it as well =P Watching has become a relief from my internet-less days — watched Gundam SEED (again) last night.

This post is getting too long… and my parents are currently around so I can’t blog without having to check once in a while.
