Today we've been blessed with an extra day... even better, it's a Sunday! There just something about a leap day that just makes u want to think, to reflect on your day. Lets just hope that I don't end up reflecting on my life only once every four years *wink*

It is human nature to ask for more - more money, more time, more food, more sleep, more friends, more happiness, more freedom, more love... Now that we've been given another 24 hours, I can't help but think what good have we done with that extra day...

Did I do anything good today? Nah... not really.
I'll try again in 4 years time... *grin*




-And to a very special friend of mine... Happy Birthday Michael! Today officially makes him "9" years old!

After an eventful afternoon full of swashbuckling battles with HTML, multiple errors and a couple of painkillers later, i finally got my blog up and running again... So now i present to you Version 1.1 *applause*

The weekend has been pretty interesting... I had a pleasant surprise after church on sunday when i realised that my rear view mirror had decided to follow Newton's Law of Gravity. To add icing on the cake, no windscreen repair shops actually bother to open on a Sunday... So there i was happily driving around "illegally" till i got a neck sprain after all that head-turning... *aww*

Thank God i got it fixed this morning...

I've just added some photos of my family and myself. Those can be found in the section "A Moment in Time". For a certain individual who has been begging me for my baby photos... sorry my friend, u won't find it in here *nah nah nah*

In the past, when i was still young and a dolt (yes qiongz...), i used to think that taking pictures were such a waste of time and energy... I would rather run out and relish in the soft sand than be bothered with setting up the camera. It was only when i came to live here that i realised photos were much more than faces and scenery... Its a memory, a moment, that if not careful, would be lost forever in the sands of time. Now i finally understand why my dad placed so much emphasis in getting us together for that perfect shot... Thanks Dad.

testing blog... hope it works this time... *pray*

I've finally succumbed to writing a blog... Gota give credit to my friends out there whose blogs have inspired me to follow in their path. And I got to admit... everyone seems to be doing it but ME... *hah*

I've never got about writing a diary - I blatantly conceded defeat after the fourth entry. It's never easy to put to words feelings and emotions, the very things that stretches our minds in dimensions beyond the plane of pen and paper.

Expressions that we take for granted, like the slight tremble of the hand, sudden shift in eye contact, nervous stutter in one's speech and the ever obvious blush of one's cheeks... they're all simply an unconscious reaction to our environment. But when it comes to writing it down, woaah, you finally realise what you've just got yourself into... Just how on earth do u go about describing your life without running the risk of ending up like the script of Matrix Revolutions - where u walk out of the cinema wondering if the popcorn was actually salted or whether it was your tears of sadness, that such a wonderful story ended with a *poof*...

Eventually the diary might just evolve into a self-fabricated story that you want to see - kinda like the news we have these days where bad stuff is actually erm... good! (Oh admit it you American idol fans... you just love to see William Hung sing again right?)

But then I finally realised... this ain't the place to gloat to the world how wonderful your life is *yes yes... rub it in*, or complain to the point that duct tape has a purpose again. This is the perfect place to whine! Yes, I've finally found the one true meaning missing from my diary-life. U can't whine in yer diaries - all u get back in return is the cold hard stare of the horizontal lines on the page. Kinda makes your life worse huh...

Hah, not to worry... whine I shall not today. For a wise man once told me, "my little tum-tum... the hardest part of life is always the first step, the rest just depends on how u fall..." so I'm actually quite happy that I've managed to get this blog running.

Hopefully with all of your support, this blog will fall, gracefully, into the hearts of many.
