When I needed you the most....you just died on me...

My laptop (fujitsu)

It has been around for the past 5 years, still surviving even after it's battery life has ended and the careless me dropping the laptop twice onto hard ground. I rely so much on my laptop these days to complete my TMAs (tutor-marked assignments), update my blog, chat with friends on MSN, pay creditcard bills with internet banking and ocassionally watch online movies. Now I have to reformat it over again just to reboot this 'baby' of mine. Mr New laptop ( a HP mini-notebook) will come in in just two days delivered to my doorstep. I can't wait for the day to arrive.

I met up with my Economics module project mates. We completed our group assignment in just one afternoon. Of course, some more editing needs to be done...all three looked at me and said...since you are an EL teacher, why don't you do the proof-reading? I had no choice but said yes. While I was busy with my discussion and squeezing my brain juices out, Nic and Dearie were waiting for me at another table. Dearie was reading up his for his insurance exam coming up on Tues and Nic was doing her homework as well. A big alphabet book my uncle Thomas bought her recently.

The weather was just so nice to have a nap...both of them fell asleep admist the rest of the students who were busy with their assignments and project discussion. Nic slept in her pram while Dearie let his head rest on the table. I should have taken a pic of them sleeping...what a waste!

Now, I am using his laptop while both of them are enjoying themselves at Aison's birthday party. I am alone in the room burying myself yet again with dozens of books and notes, preparing for another 2000-word essay on bilingualism. Alritey, enough said, I have to end my crap here and get back to work. Adieus!
