<li>what is it with (school-going) children and tuition nowadays? it seems everywhere i turn, i see kids, from as young as 4 (gasp) to those in form 5, are going for tuition. form 5'ers, ok i get it, maybe they need extra help with certain subjects. but 4 year old kids? come on....! </li>
<li>i need my blackberry back. i hate sms-ing with those tiny touch screen keyboard.</li>
<li>yipppeeeeee! driving back to kk tomorrow *laughs with joy*</li>
<li>some people just need to grow up, like seriously! we do not like people who screams at other people when trying to cover up their own mistakes. shheeeeesssshh!</li>
<li>have i mentioned how much i miss my blackberry? </li>

font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">perhaps it's due to the fact that there are just too many things to do before my cuti can start (husband is already on "leave". i am jealous of teachers for this sole reason - the fact that they have school holidays - very much like the times when i was a kid).</span><br style="background-color: #d1e6f6;

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>i am (very) attached to my smartphone.</li>
<li>i am only semi functional without a smartphone.</li>
<li>i depend on my blackberry a lot! - for contacts, emails, facebook, camera, etc.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
</ul>
i asked the girl at the counter where i sent my blackberry for repair how long it would take for them to repair the phone.<br />
<br />
me: <i>brapa lama la mau siap ni?</i><br />
<br />
girl at the counter: <i>oooo kalau blackberry paling sekejap laitu kalau satu bulan... </i><br />
<br />
me: <i>what??? satu bulan paling skijap? satu bulan tiada henpon?</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
crap.<br />
<br />
it's only been a few days, and already i'm contemplating buying a new smartphone.<br />
<br />
*sigh*<br />
<br />
are you as attached to your (smart)phone as i am?<br />
<br />
