An Entry that Came Late

I have to apologize to my diary for the much anticipated yet missing post yesterday on a Sunday when there was internet access at night while I was resting snugly in my room. I must give my assurance that my zeal and passion for blogging have not wavered, despite a spate of criticisms received for my blog recently and even sarcastic jokes insinuating the removal of my tagboard because of its inactivity. Whatever, let's get down to my explanation. I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility here, but the main culprit appeared to be this.


The Flaming Platter for 2 at Mathattan Fish Market in PS indeed looked spectacular, and it actually tantalized my tastebuds for a while. However, the greasy fried calamari and the large amount of chips soon made me feel sick all over. Maybe because of my low tolerance for seafood, but the possibility isn't very high. Anyway, the dinner with Zhengjun made me feel nauseous and a bit dizzy after that, but we managed to walk at a rather fast pace to Taka, where we took a breather at Kino browsing through books. After an impulsive deal made at S & K for a pair of long pants which was labeled "New Arrival", I went home feeling tired and thus slept after drinking a glass of lemonade (I hope it helps in indigestion), helping my sis with her physics tutorial, and surfing the net for a while.

It was probably aggravated by the fact that I was out for almost 13 hours yesterday because I met up with Eugene at JP for a movie first before a kster trip at Lucky Chinatown with Zhengjun for 4 hours. "In her shoes" tells of 2 sisters, with divergent personalities, falling out with each other but eventually patching up and showing appreciation for each other, thus shedding light on the old adage "Blood is thicker than water". This movie initiated my reflections on my relationships with my siblings. As I grew older, I felt myself drifting further away from my elder brother and I actually found confidante in my sister to a greater extent. The existence of this blog I even only revealed it to my sister. The reason I cannot fathom but I guess the major cause being the difference in perspectives taken by us, leading to miscommunication. Even so, I believe in times of crisis, the blood ties will still be the strength holding us together.

The singing session at kster was not without its glitches. My singing was unusually lacklustre with most of the songs being too flat. The number of new songs available could not be compared to that of kbox. The only wowing difference was the upgraded system of kster - new stylish layout on the computer, wireless mouse and the nicer pictures of the singers. Nevertheless, the fallback of the new system was the technical problem encountered which caused some momentary moments of hanging.

Oh, and Ningyi just smsed me asking me for some photos that I borrowed a few years ago for the TCHSCO yearbook. I vaguely remembered but cannot confirm whether they were put in my possession after that project. Hope I find them while putting finishing touches to the cleaning up of my table and room today.
