I have adopted a new nickname with immediate effect, and that is Dora. A bought me this to commemorate the occassion. I dun have much idea of Dora except that she is an explorer who shares the same hairdo as yours truly. Good for now I think.

I applause *claps* Beijing for the great job they have done for the Olypmpics opening ceremony. It was spectacular!! Kudos to them, they made all the Chinese that were watching the show proud as it could not have been better. I enjoyed most of it especially the globe thingy with performers running around it in the air followed by a duet of the theme song by Sarah Brightman and a singer whom I can't identify with - I have to comment on the Male singer's attire... could he have not at least put on a jacket instead of his good-enough-for-marketing outfit? It's the Olympics, for cying out loud. Actually, I can't really understand what Sarah was singing but her stunning performance more than makes up for it.

Am feeling a bit patriotic after watching the fireworks from the bedroom... HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!! I have not checked the TOTO results yet... maybe I've joined the million dollar round table already??!!

Slightly less than 2 months to Oct and we've yet to secure confirm bookings for Bali-SIN, and this is Monday we are talking about. How frustrating can it get? Booked our flights at the beginning of the year and still not making any headway. I remember Krisflyer's staff used to be able to push for confirmation when the request is put forth but when I called this week all the guy could say was, "I don't know, there's nothing I can do". So, what can I do, but to wait for miracle to happen. So much for planning ahead. URGH!!!
