29th February
I just learnt not a couple of days ago from my English friends that 29th February is the day when females are allowed to propose to the males! So... I've essentially 25.5hours left to find the rich, tall, dark, handsome, humorous, kind, caring, smart Mr Perfect!!! Wish me luck ppl!!!

Stonehenge & Avebury, 15 September
One of the must go attractions in the UK is the Stonehenge. So... that was where we went for our 1st trip all the way back in September 2007.
It was quite a nice day for a roadtrip -> bright and sunny! (Which I've come to realise that it's a pretty rare occurance.) It'd had been more perfect if we can enter into the middle of Stonehenge. Unfortunately, it is only open to the public on a particular day in Summer (so I heard). Not too sure what's the exact day it is, but suppose to be the time when it's the longest day in the year.
Next, we moved on to Avebury... to see more stones!
This stones are supposed to serve the same function as the Stonehenge, which's for some worship thingy. Although they are less grand than Stonehenge, they're free, and you can go all the way up close to touch them!

I'm finally back on the Internet!!!!!!!!!
After 6 months of deprivation from the internet, I can finally breathe!!! Woohoo!!!
The reason why I've been internet-less for sooooooo loooooooonnnnnnnggggggggggg, was that 1st, BT was super difficult to reach. I had to call a couple of times in order to reach the right contact person, and had been put on hold for around 2 hours for more than 1 time!!! Then, because the BT engineers doesn't work after office hours, someone had to take an off day from work just to wait for them to turn up to install the line! Apparently, good service is number 9870990890980 on BT's priority list. Customers are probably ranked 9870990890961.
Then, when we finally got a land line for internet, we couldn't really decide on which broadband plans to take up! Different from Singapore, UK companies doesn't always provide a router by default, and many plans have limited download of 8GB per month! I can use that up in maybe like 5hours!!! Even those that claims to be unlimited usage will limit your access speed if you take up too much of their ultra precious bandwidth!!!
And when we more or less decided on which plan to take up, we decided that we wanted to move house when our lease ends in mid February. So... basically... we wasted $$$ getting a land line, and had to suffer from the lack of connection with the outside world...
And when I finally moved house, my laptop crashed! The lousy Toshiba motherboard burnt out after just 2.5yrs!!! So... I had to get it sent back to Singapore for repair. (Special thanks to NivelK!!!)
Anyway... I'm simply relief that I can finally surf the internet at home!!! :D
No more illegal internet usage in the company! woohoo!!!
