Daily Happy Thoughts

Self-made cards received from or sent to the point guard of the senior basketball team, the S1 Officer of the CAT-1 Unit (Citizens’ Army Training), and the drummer of the school’s hottest band; having a crush on the Corps Commander of the CAT-1 Unit; lunch dates in the canteen; hanging out in the library; CAT-1 Unit formations under the scorching heat of the sun; seniors’ ball; beach outing — these are but only a few of the memorable events in high school! For the chance to muse over the top o’ the heap and major waves in high school, I would like to thank Kerslyn for this tag.

Whew! I didn’t know that blogging could be this addictive..hehe. I spent the better part of the last 4 hours trying to configure how to add a scrollbar to our blogroll as the list is getting quite long. It is midnight already and I haven’t quite figured that out yet. Quite a hopeless case if you ask me LOL.

I had a heavy dinner earlier, thanks to the breaded chicken cooked by our youngest bro. And what’s more, I had dinner in front of the TV set again as there has been nothing on but badminton today on the channel “Balls”. I’ve missed watching it ever since Sky Cable has omitted Solar Sports from its list of channels.

Anyway, was tagged [by Franceska] with the 8 random facts bit…

- link to your tagger and post these rules.

6. I don’t eat eggplants and okra (i don’t know what that is in English..hehe).

5. I have a pet dog named Kobe (I am not a Laker fan though).
