on the 1st day of the 2nd half of the year...

woke up at 6 a.m in the morning. Hadn't done that in a long while. Had to get up early to catch an early bus to the airport. Sending off a dear brother at the airport. It's his first day of work, and already his company is sending him off 4 weeks! However, this is not a leisure-ly work-trip for him and his team, and they have been sent to help out in the disaster-relief operations in Central Java. Went to airport to pray for them. Think they should have reached there by now...

After that went to town. Since I've already travelled so far, might as well go town "gai gai" a bit. The weather was unsuitable, however. People talked about the unbearable lightness of being. Well, today was the unbearable sweatiness of heat. After having my favourite roti-prata along Bencoolen Street (opposite Fortune Center), went to play a few games at the arcade at Parklane Mall. Man, can't even get to the final stage of "Marcross" - I'm getting old...  stopped by Orchard Regional Library and borrowed a few hard-to-get titles. Then headed back to chill at Woodlands Regional Library, to finish up the Asimov book.

My friend called to complain about his iBook, said it dieded on him again. Just for no reason, itrefused to power itself up. Laughed my head off that one, and i told him to rename his iBook as "i-Stay-at-home", since it can only operate at his home only. Stayed out a while before heading off home for a sumptuous dinner.

ah well, countdown to Christmas : 208 days...
