Update

1. Sentosa Family Day - Discovered new beach carpark and the accessibility via beach trams to the beaches. The Burger King which everyone used to pass by is so neglected now. Similarly for Lost Civilisation, Mythology Trail (the other side of Sentosa).
2. Overseas trip - Failed to book, as friends and all sets of parents have failed to come to a common consensus as to a common place to go. Even the mode of travel is in contention! Disappointed, BUT it has reinforced that it may be easy to be frens in Singapore, yet a totally different thing when going overseas.
3. New Blogskin!! - I managed to change the HTML code etc all by myself! At least 95%...cos the chinese encoding didn't come up right at 1st, so a fren had to help me. It's still a major leap for me, cos I am an IT idiot, rem..'Good attempt', i quote. =)
4. Meetings and courses - These fill my work days to the extent that I do not have time to update my blog on a more timely basis. Of course, work doesn't stop while I am at whole day meetings and courses, so yah, busy busy busy.
5. Annual increment - Happiness, cos it was more than I expected, although not exorbitant. Besides, for the work I have done, it is in order. Haha!
6. Tuned in to World Cup matches via Indonesian channels - Decided to try tuning, after I read the newspaper article about pple tapping into the Indonesian network. To my surprise and great joy, the reception is pretty clear! So far, I have watched the Brazil vs Australia and Switzerland vs Togo whole matches, + portions of other matches. Kaka is cute!
7. Resignation of a fren - Surprise cos tis fren quitted without a job. Admiration, yet at the same time, I feel tis fren's stupid. What can be so serious to warrant sitting at home w/o a job?
8. Saw a dog being fetched in a Jaguar - Some animals are even more fortunate than humans.
9. My fren's appeal for the 3 unis failed - Unfairness of it. Another said I am discouraging this fren too much and I should be giving her hope. I just want to say I am being realistic. Am I wrong?

Amidst all these happenings, how many are treating me genuinely? How many are my real frens? How many am I being 100% true towards? I feel like throwing caution into the air sometimes and shout out that I am young and can make mistakes. Where's the middle line drawn for what I should or should not say/do? What's really my own life?
