Young at heart!!!





You Are 26 Years Old



26





Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

take the WHAT INTENTIONAL TORT ARE YOU test.


and go to mewing.net. because law school made laura do this.

My mobile phone contract is ending this month end and I had been thinking about switching to Orange. Saw this amazing offer - Sony Ericsson K500 Orange free line rental for 12 mths (Contract period = 12 months)!!! 100 min anytime!!!

Too good to be true... What do they earn???

Called the company and was told that the refund will be send every 3 months when I sent the bills to them to prove that I'm still on the network. So what's the catch?? The lady laughed and told me that the catch is that the offer is limited to this phone and this tariff. Sounds fine for me.

Well, will ask Sam for his opinion when he's back from his freezing cold and lot's of snow trip to France (for meeting).

Disappointment goes hand in hand with high expectation of something, someone or some incident.

Or was it wrong judgement in the first place?

Pineapple tarts



Pineapple tarts
Originally uploaded by abtmay.

Tried to bake pineapple tart yesterday. Not very sucessful cos the pineapple jam was a bit burnt, the tart was too biscuit-like and the shape was weird (cos no mould used). Despite all, they tasted rather good and the whole lot were finished today. Or was it because we can't get them in Cambridge so 'mai hiam buay pai'??

Finally reached my driving instructor and he is teaching privately after Jan. So I can continue lessons with him but think there's a change in the car to learn in.... Well got to get use to it.

Tuesday, January 11, 2005

Feeling very PISSED off right now!!!

Received a call from BSM and was told that my driving instructor is leaving BSM at the end of Jan thus they would provide a replacement instructor for me for the test and any drving lessons that I had booked. NOT A CHANGE OF INSTRUCTOR AGAIN!!!

Called my instructor and left him a msg to call me back. Hope he's still going to teach driving on his own after leaving BSM!!!

WHY, WHY does this always happen to me????????????? :(

Can't believe that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's marriage ended!! I knew that was true when I read it from Sunday Times instead of from The Sun.

The marriage of the golden couple is over.... How might faith can we commoners put in our marriage if the marriage of the 金童玉女, who is 郎才女貌 don't work??

I don't really that the reason for the split was purely because Jennifer didn't want to have kids. Think there's something about the rumors of Pitt affair with his "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" co-star Angelina Jolie. The London News of the World tabloid reported that Aniston "realized it was the end of the line for their marriage" when she confronted Pitt after listening in to a phone-sex conversation between the "Troy" star and the Oscar winner. Not true, said Aniston's spokesman Sunday, angrily calling the story "absolutely false trash."

Oh well, we just have to wait and see what's next..

Death toll approx 150,000. A sad start of 2005 for everyone....

For more info and pictures, click here.

According to ABC News, tsunami warning system could be built in the Indian Ocean in just a year and cost as little as $20 million.

But experts warn the high-tech network of sensors and buoys would be useless unless countries like Indonesia beef up communications links to the coastal communities that would be hit by giant waves.

Many coastal villages that bore the brunt of last month's earthquake and tsunami lack modern communication networks. Many don't even have telephones.

Among the dozen nations effected by the Dec. 26 earthquake and tsunami, only Indonesia received any warning from NOAA, and then only indirectly through Australia. Officials from the Pacific Ocean warning system put out an advisory to their members and attempted unsuccessfully to contact countries in the path of the tsunami.
