Chirp!
I didn't know you read one! wow. so busy somemore can read my blog! KNS!
ok, this weekend is labor day weekend - ie 3 day weekend. I was planning and very much looking forward to a camping trip up north, but after being fong fei kei by a friend (very geram story) at the last minute, i have decided to spend twice the price of normal airfare to fly to washington DC for 2 days. I will join terry there, and will tour all the free museums until my legs or eyes fall off. and we will have a jolly good time eating everything exotic in sight.If nothing else, terry and i share the same curiosity for exotic food (at least i remember both of use buying weird ass cereal in college).
I have to fly out of detroit though which is a few hours from here. KNS.
and fly back in and drive another few hrs back home.
To comfort myself i will stop to shop at a biggie shopping place on the way. To rest my tired feet pressing against the accelerator. Ahem.
Happy long weekend and Merdeka Day back home! Even though our country is imperfect, at least it's independent. Though depending on the context, that might not say much.
well, what are you gonna do for the weekend?

my cheapness
I'm back!!
**Cough**cough*** (strains to see through the billowing dust)
**ahhtttchoo!!** (dusts cobwebs from skirt)
For all 2 of you who actually reads this blog regularly, i apologize for the unannounced hiatus. The reason behind my MIA is that only one that can be blamed on genetics (mom's side ahem) - cheaponess. I've moved out from the hotel provided by my work place more than a month ago, to a sunny apartment in the midst of trees, beds of flowers and a highway. But due to extreme cheapness, and rebellion against monopolization of anykind, had refrained from getting cable internet (from the only cable provider authorized by the apt management)and dial up (from the only dial up provider available in US - the stupoid ATxT). The cable speed and modem i didn't need and didn't want to pay for. The dial up insisted that i get a bundle together with a phone land line, which i didn't need and didn't want to pay for.
So i hedged and hummmed and fummed and cry at the gods. and finally caved in and got cable.
And boy does it feel good to feel alive again.
