Guess wat??

I am finally back in business. Am finally connected to the... WORLD! Got my home set up, my phone no. and now it is really great to have my internet connection up and going! To show my sincerity, I will now make a public declaration of my gratitude to the many who have helped me in one way or another.

So a big THANK YOU to all of you out there who have so graciously helped me in moving all my belongings into my new house, helped me in storing all my junk and rubbish when i went back during the summer. Also I would like to thank the people who have so graciously cooked and looked after my physical need (hunger) when my house was still undergoing the stage of getting a fridge and there was no food in the house. Many thanks to those who have helped me in setting up my communication tools (internet connection) especially since i am such a computer/technology idiot! Lastly, I need to for schitzel thank SHIMEI, my beloved housemate for finding us this lovely house and turning it into a beautiful home with her unbelievably joyful company. Of course i cannot forget her mum who has helped out ALOT in the early stages of cleaning. Last but not the least, i want to thank GOD for the grace he had given us in renting the house to us and i must really feel sorry for the other girl who was suppose to rent the apartment.

Having no internet and no form of communication made me realised how much of a slave I am to technology over the years. Technology is such a crazy and dangerous thing that I am so sucked into it without realising the i am being sucked. It is like this brainwashing mechanism slowly brainwashing you everyday to tell you the wonders of technology and before long, you realise that technology is like oxygen, you can't live without it. How dangerous is that....SCARY! A day without the internet or my mobile phone is tortourous! I think my reliance on technology is making me realised how much time i have spent making myself occupied! I have long forgotten the meaning of tranquility (infact i have to check out the dictionary for the real meaning), much less having to be still and quiet just for a moment in time. I am slowly indulging myself with noise and chaos and the busyness of life for fear of quietness, or calmness. Indeed as Socrates said: "Beware the barrenness of a busy life." I have lost much but I am determined to find back what i have lost. It is never too late....
