Goodbye, Pinky..

I mourn the passing of Pinky..



She left me last Wednesday, 14 Oct 2009, more than three years after I first held her in my hands around National Day 2006, and a few hours after being cleaned with quite a bit of water..! Yes, blame me =(

She had been showing signs of ageing, restarting many times a day on her own, general slowness.. And the speaker had died earlier within the first year.. But I didn't want to give her up as there were so many memories.. I should be able to retrieve the calendars and notes etc from the last time I sync-ed with my work desktop.. But the many sms, precious sms, they are all gone now... =(

Since she left me, I realised how much I had depended on her.. For the past week, I had to use an old phone without my contacts, calendar and precious sms.. The whole of last weekend, I had no idea what I was doing or where I was supposed to be..

So today, when I got my iPhone, I name her Pinky II in remembrance of Pinky.

Goodbye, Pinky. You have been an important part of my life, and I thank you for being so :)

Shaking my bum bum

Oh no, I'm obsessed with learning dance moves from the Nobody But Chu You MV by Wonder Girls...

But the MV is always too fast for me.. HOW???!

One last go at the chorus before I turn in :p

Nostalgia

It didn't hit me until 1am today as I read SW's note on Facebook, that yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of the start of my four wonderful years in Oxford..

4 Oct 1999. A crisp sunny morning. We - me with LS, SX and Jon - arrived in at LHR and took X70 to Oxford. Where I promptly lost the envelop containing my X-ray. Which I found in Mother's cabinet four years later - a porter at Queen's College picked it up and sent home but she never told me!

But I digress..

Despite going back just last year, I miss Oxford. I miss my time there.
