verses read: Jeremiah 21
prayer: 5 minutes

The IT fair was huge. Bought a CF card to expand the storage in my laptop; 1GB, would be enough to offload all my University files. Won’t be needing those soon, that will free up close to 1GB of space itself enough to load both Starcraft and Broodwars into my laptop. Will need a CD-ROM emulator as my laptop does not come with a CD-ROM installed and carrying the ultra-base is quite a chore. Decided that I’m going to make my laptop last as long as I can, so will need to format the whole hardisk soon; probably when I graduate and reload everything, so as to wipe out the viruses that are in it and start afresh. Expand the memory to 1GB; that should make the laptop last another 2 years at least.

Nintendo had their DS Lite on display. It really looks good and it’s not as bulky as the old one, or the PSP, major plus points. Plus the display is really much brighter than the old ones. Will be in Singapore in April; although Engadget reports are a lot less encouraging than that. Price wise, will be drawing quite a salary once I start NIE. But going to take my mom’s advice and save for at last 6 months to create a finance buffer so I won’t be stuck in debt. Will also be taking over two insurance plans that I have had since young, as well as part of the internet bill and the subscription to SSC. Even after giving back to the Lord; the remaining amount is still twice more that any allowance I’ve gotten before. Saving all that up would be nice for the future.

My eyesight has been deteriorating; I hope it due to the lack of sleep. But more likely due to reading in very bad lighting every night before sleeping. A few years back, my degree was zero in the left and 25 in the right. I’m pretty sure it’s a little higher now, maybe 25 to 50 in both eyes. Still see things very clearly; but my eyes get tired pretty fast nowadays.

Watched Braveheart just now; I usually watch the ending, this time I was able to watch from the beginning. I wonder; can someone you know from young grow up into the person you love in the future? Fairytales like that exist I’m sure; the older couples in church as a demonstration of that. God gave; but He also took away. Well; it’s almost been 3 months and it really disappeared fast. Still have a few more months to go before I will be done with what I promised the Lord.
