Random update
Salaam 'Alaikum!
So now I have a new laptop Alhamdulillah :) and it's red *big smile*. I've become somewhat cynical about technology, I guess anyone would after:
1. My ol' laptop died. ( I hate to say 'crashed' here - it sounds so dramatic, on the contrary my laptop just quietly switched off and was apparently not feasible to repair)
2. My university memory stick contracted a virus, however was still usable until someone's antivirus decided to delete all viruses. This included all folders from memory stick. Yep, Semesters 1 - 5 all gone. Blog stuff all gone. :(
3. I was just looking for sumthing on my ol' cellphone and become suspicious when I couldn't find it. Yes, you guessed right. "Memory card corrupted" Whatever that means. Not funny anymore.
And worse, everyone blames me for not creating back-ups. *sigh*.
So tis great to have a new, clean laptop, though I must admit I have used up much of my airtime with all my experimenting and downloading :O A Big shout out to my sister for allowing me to take the new one - btw, my sis has also started a blog and has some entertaining posts coming along. Check it out here.
I've NO idea what I'm doin up @ 1:18:04 AM. But then tomorrow is a public holiday so I guess it's not such a crime :p
Take care y'all

You know you're flyin Durban to Bloem when...
* Your boarding gates are right @ the end, downstairs. Deserted. Away from the hustle & bustle of the rest of the airport.
* There are about 5 people @ the waiting area.
* They all look @ you and count "6".
* Bloemfontein is not listed on the flight schedule boards until 5mins before the boarding time.
* The pilots walk pass and comment on whether they see any familiar faces.
* The use of a hopper bus is mandatory since our 29 seater plane is parked some distance away.
* I'm the only Asian on flight.
* You appreciate being both short & thin as soon as you enter the aircraft.
* There are no arm-rests or overhead cabins.
* When the plane switches on, you check out of the window to make sure you're not sitting in a helicopter.
* There is only 1 air hostess on-board & she re-caps the safety regulations 6seats @ a time. (Ha! No need for a microphone).
* You always get free coke and chips.
* You are glad no one is sitting next to you, it's too painful to have a conversation anyway.
* You are awed @ the differences in beauty of creation, within the same country.
* You wonder why the flight is so ridiculously priced.
