Always my ma’am

“Harlie…?”

I searched her face. Familiar…

“This is Serene! From band, Newtown…?”

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ya! That’s it! Trombone section’s second in command!

MA’AM! I almost said, “Hello, ma’am”. She was my senior in band and I called her ma’am although she couldn’t have been one or two years older than me.

“Ahhh yes I remember,” I said “You look so different!”

“And you haven’t changed..!”

“So I still look gin-nah? Damn.”

“Eh you also go here ah? Good good see you around I’m going for my class now!”

MA’AM! Ten years on, she’s still my ma’am. Some things don’t change.

(Damn do I really still look the same? And if so… is this a necessarily good/bad thing?)

Back on the internet!

I had a problem with my EEE PC -no it wasn’t the blue screen of death- it would hang whenever I try to connect to the Internet! So reformatted it was, and the people at the service centre in Adelphi were very nice. I also bought a new battery as the old one was weak.

Anyway, I am in the market for a new laptop or desktop. I know this one won’t last long, judging by the way it kaputted right when it’s one-year warranty ended. The new netbooks do tempt me- they are so sleek, so shiny, and so much space in them too (mine’s 4GB… first generation mah wahlao makes it sound damn old).

But I realise that even with a laptop this light, I don’t take it out often enough to justify buying another netbook-kind-of-laptop, so what’s the point.

Eh why am I rambling about my tech-no-no-gy woes? When all I wanted was to say…

WOOHOOO I AM BACK ON THE INTERNEHS!
