Mood: sleepy Fact of the day: The ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. event of the week: Watching the Jekyll and Hyde musical tomorrow.
Yes, I know the title is bad english. But why, I feel like it! Heh.
Yes, I have finally found my keys. Finally. A few days ago, actually, but the sense of relief passed quickly when many other things happened - things that made me feel much more than just relief.
For example, the arrival of my new hifi set. It's a low quality brand, non-impressive simple 3-disc system, which the very blunt Li very easily criticised for its brand. But heck care what she thinks about it, I'm so happy these days because of my darling hifi set. I listen to music a lot, and it used to piss me off that I have to turn on my laptop everytime I want to listen to a CD. Now, I don't have to! I even have a remote control, so it feels really good. For its price, I probably shouldn't expect much. So it's ok that the speakers are weak, that the CD disc changer mechanism looks dubiously unprofessional, or even that it makes weird sounds when I press stop. I explain everything by looking at the "Made in China" sticker. Hahahaha....man, just a sudden thought, wouldn't it be really weird if it were made in Singapore? Hmm..
Anyway, another thing that's making me feel pretty good is shopping. Went shopping just now with a few of my juniors, because one of them doesn't have enough cold weather clothes, and has been suffering the past few days, when it's been both rainy and cold. At the end of the day, I bought a couple of decent sweaters, then before I could step out of the store, I bought this gorgeous dress, some cute accessories and pyjamas pants. The pants were what I really wanted, the dress made me look slimmer than I thought I was, and the cute accessories made me feel young. I thought they were all very important to me. So I paid.
The cashier was surprised to see me a second time. She asked, "Didn't I just see you?"
I laughed, "Yes, but I'm a weakling. I walk around a second time, and wanted more."
She laughed, and I added, "But I'm a happy weakling."
Yes, the shopping made me feel really happy. Probably because it's been some time since I last indulged in such girly things. And it feels good to see how things fit a lot better since I lost that little bit of weight.

In other news, the cable modem is set up in the house now, so I can stay online for as long as I want and still be able to receive calls in my room. But somehow, the program I use for my mails doesn't seem to recognise my cable connection. It keeps on telling me that it cannot find my server and dunno what shit. Damn. Fortunately, one of my housemates is a computer science major, so I'm counting on him to fix it for me soon. I keep way too many mails, addresses and whatnot in that program to just give up on it now. And I still cannot connect to icq as well. Don't ask me why. I just cannot. Sigh...it's gonna take some time before I can truly return to the internet junkie I was during the dorm-and-ethernet days.
