OMG, I cannot tell you how extremely happy I am, now that the computer is finally fixed. I haven't been updating these past few days cos there was something wrong with my computer screen & not because I have given up on my blog or because I have went to Spain. The bloody computer screen kept flickering on and off and on again. It was so freaking annoying, especialy when I had to send an urgent email out. I was practically hitting the computer and sobbing, pleading it to stop flickering.

On the other hand, congratulations to me! I didn't touch the computer for more than a week. More than one solid week, not that I had the choice, mind you. So what does a girl like me do when the computer is down? I've been watching TV for nearly up to 10 hours a day and swimming in the morning & in the evening. Even when it was raining. It does't make much difference, cos you'll get wet anyway. Just that the water is so freaking cold, it seems like you're swimming in a tub of melted ice cube.

I have soooo many things to blog about but I can't remember most of it.

Er.. The highlights in the past week.

- We went to Ruth's house to swim on Wednesday, I think. Her condo's main swimming pool is so frekaing big it's kinda like swimming in the sea when you're in the middle of it. & the children pool was absolutely brilliant. It's like the mini version of Wild Wild Wet. The one with a thousand and one sprinklers and slides and swings and everything elso to make you think you're in Pool Heaven. The cutest thing was that to activate the water to flow, you have to press the button below the bow of the gigantic clown!

- Then on Friday, me, Aijing, Ruth, Crystal & Jasmine went to play badminton. When Jasmine & I teames up for doubles, it was a recipe for disaster but also really hilarious. Our team was called "J2" (J- squared) and our motto was "Ferosh!". *Cue for Crystal to roll her eyes*. Ate 2 macarons at Obolo's. I think the Chocolate-Passion one was quite nice.

- Had the church fundraising yesterday and Saturday. Had to wake up at 7am yesterday. 3 hours before I usually wake up on a Sunday. We managed to raise around $8000, minusing the cost to set up all the things. Not bad cos we surpassed the target of raising $5000. :D Some of the groups did busking while the rest sold muffins, brownies, ice cream, nachos etc. I kept buying the Ben & Jerry's cup. I finally tried the Strawberry cheesecake. The Graham cracker part is a bit too sweet but it's still not bad. & nachos taste damn good when the cheese is still warm. :))

- I'm gonna have my Nano Chromatic. Yeeeeeeahhhhhhh! Cos I made it to the top 20 in the school. My dad's kinda begging me to change my mind, as if I would! Oh yeah, I'm ready to scratch Brian's eyeballs out cos he beat me to snag the no. 3 spot in class by 0.1 mark. 0.1!!!!!

Okay, no other highlights. Cos other than that, it's just watching TV and swimming. Gotta catch up on soooo many things. Tata!

I'm alright, don't be sorry, but it's true
When I'm gone you'll realize
That I'm the best thing that happened to you

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away
