I seriously think my handphone bill is going to burst beyond repair this month. Honestly, I have no idea who I have been calling or SMSing. My call records reflect the same old names but the talk time and number of SMSes sent are astonishingly a great deal more than what I usually would use. I think that is the bad point about living on campus and away from the convenience and availability of the fixed line at home. It has always been pick up the phone and talk for all I like on the fixed line but these days I am on my own. I believe I managed to keep the talk time and SMSes under the limit but if I don't, there's nothing I can do I guess. However, I will warn my folks first, just in case they get a shock of their lives. Also, I think I'm a bit crazy recently, especially today, I video called Jacquelin by accident. I forgot to lock my keypad, that was the cause of that funny missed call Jacquelin received.
Acknowledging a belated birthday SMS from Zhaoqiang today at 12.40.
One more thing, I think scary things have been happening to me. I felt tremors this morning while I was sleeping, or rather snoozing my alarm. It was around 08.05 when I felt the bed trembling. Another scary thing that has been happening would be my tendency to fall asleep in any lecture no matter whether I already know the content taught or not. Then again, it doesn't mean that I'm paying attention while I'm awake. The last scary thing that is happening is my extremely bad memory. I keep forgetting things which I feel certainly has something to do with my inactivity for the last eight months. This short-term memory has been failing me. I'm pretty worried that I might not be able to regain it fast enough. Give me strength!

19
This is my first blog entry and I am feeling very weird typing this. Although I have expected for this day to come, I didn't once felt it so imminent. So here I am, blogging.
Today, special as it is, is both my birthday on the calendar which we all follow as well as on the lunar calendar. 12th September happens to be the 2nd of the 8th lunar month this year, which is rather rare. It probably first occurred the day I was born.
19, it has come. A great birthday spent away from home. A wonderful birthday which summoned celebration for 4 days. A fabulously incredible birthday I had with superb people surrounding me.

My first presents were from Wan Ping, Lam Lam and Jacquelin -- a card, a water dispenser and mooncakes, the kind with baked crust. I haven't eaten the mooncakes but I bet they would be delicious! Lam Lam even delivered the water dispenser all the way to PGP for me. Thank the three of them loads!

Then, I was really unknowingly dragged into a dinner outing with Pei Fen and Vanessa at VivoCity. It was indeed a pleasant surprise as I have never imagined the both of them to have planned so far ahead for me. We ate a scrumptous meal at Secret Recipe topped with a slice of cake each. What nice friends I have made during my stint at Fengshan Primary School! Also, pretty Hallmark card, thank you!

My MNO1001 team got together to discuss about our video project which is, at the moment, one of my greatest concerns as I have to act in it. Goodness gracious! How many NGs will I need to perfect one simple dialogue! We had lunch together at The Terrace and I certainly felt gullible to believe what my group members claimed, "Andy and Benedict are off to photocopy our drafts." Little did I know that they actually went all the way to The Deck to get Ollio's cheese cake for me. I am definitely easily surprised! Lots of thanks and gratitude to my newly-made friends in MNO1001 A16 Team 1!

It so happens that Jason, a friend from my Engineering Orientation Week group, is born two years and one day before me. So Transformers wanted to throw a surprise mini-party to celebrate both our birthdays together. I was unintendedly notified of the celebration, which I felt was quite an interesting turn to the series of events that have been happening. I didn't know why but I ended up playing badminton despite my bad cough. Beatifully designed and cosmopolitan autographed card as well as the long-awaited purple Pilot shaker mechanical pencil and cute cup sincerely appreciated here!
12 September 2007

Wan Ping miraculously calculated the time and sent her message on 12/09 at 12.09 am. Good job well done! Thank you all!
I knew I was setting up this blog only because I feel for my deteriorating brain power and memory space.
