the sars virus fatal count is increasing daily....today there's a new case in spore, brought in by a lady who came back from HK. this shows the lax in the security screening at the airport, for failing to detect such cases. pray hard that no new cases will arise and that a cure can be found really quickly!

the worm in my jumping beans has emerged. was looking at the small container with the beans and noticed a brownish insect in it. then i noticed a small opening on the side of one of the beans and concluded that the insect must have hatched from the bean. can't really identify what it is tho....looks kinda like a small grasshopper.

decided to rent james patterson's new novel ''2nd chance'" from a 2nd hand bookshop in westmall. i dun wanna wait soooo long to reserve that book from the library. moreover, it's not even available for loan as yet. it will cost me $4 to read it if i return the book within 2 months. quite a good deal as compared to the long waiting time if i were to borrow from lib and if i were to buy the book. anyway, it's not always that i rent books. in fact, i think it's my first time !

got my 1st birthday present for this yr....it's a clarins facial treatment voucher. it includes facial and shoulders massage....would be an interesting experience as well as an eye opener for me. many thanks to my friend who gave it to me ! :)
