C is for cyber

This time is dedicated to doing my long-drawn assignment. Instead, I find myself straying from the pale white document of words into the C-land where I get lost in transit. From the emails, to the free download sites, to friends' blogs. I finally laid eyes on one of my favourite C-hangout spots - Mraz - which explains my sudden urge to be here, typing on unreserved time. He never fails to put me in a blog-a-licious mood, and for that, I thank him.

I have been wanting to talk about the passing of a great aussie icon, the 5th anniversary of a terrorist attack, and the soon-to-be crowned idol of S'pore. Obviously, I had neither the time, nor the inspiration. Ok, mainly (the lack of) inspiration, since I am here, despite having an assignment to finish.

Hence, in a nutshell...so that I wouldn't look back 5 years later to realise that I didn't record my thoughts and feel terribly regretful of my actions:

- Crikey! I spent at least 30% of my Sunday watching the marathon of Steve Irwin documentaries on Animal Planet. It was then that it finally struck me, how he is gone forever, and all we have left of him are tape-loads of strong aussie-accented recordings of how he jumped on crocs and educated us about the conversation of wildlife. Sigh...RIP Steve. You will be missed.

- 9/11 is becoming such a household catch phrase. I don't think that's a good thing. I don't actually have much to say, except that it has been 5 years. That's long. And sadly, the supposed "war against terror" seems far from over.

- Jon Leong is so 'acquired taste'. I never took much notice of him until the week he sang 'Unforgettable'. No pun intended, but that's when I started remembering him. I'll be rooting for him. I certainly hope my track record of bad luck (whenever I support someone, the person loses) will not result in him being booted out of the competition tomorrow night. Hmmm. Maybe I should support Jasmine...

Ok, back to my blerdy never-ending annoying long-drawn assignment.

In any case, this has been very therapeutic. Good night...
