since saturday life has started to look up, which is a good thing because i spent the majority of friday night moping away and thinking about how nobody in this whole entire world loves me. i was looking through my uni package just now and struck with the realisation that i will be a student again sometime very soon. invariably, i was filled with panic and my immediate thought was that i must play as much as possible from now till term starts. this is an ambitious plan, but i will have to stick to it because it is for my own good.

i've also been up to two big things, the first being my plan to Get Fit For Real. this is involving regular jogging sessions with the moose as well as pilates and yoga everyday :) hopefully, this will help us avoid the untold embarrassment of entering uni as shapeless and unfit losers. i have been wondering if the size of a person's butt is in any way proportional to the amount of time spent on the couch watching tv, and this is providing quite a strong motivation to get up and get moving. perhaps becoming fit is really so simple, after all.

the second big thing i've been up to is laptop shopping. i was set on the vaio for the longest time but i hear that sony doesn't even manufacture their own parts for the vaio AND the one i want is quite pricey :( so now i'm deciding between the acer travelmate 3020 series and the toshiba portege M400-S933, which also happens to be a tablet pc! they're both 12.1 inches except that the acer is lighter at 1.5 kg though it excludes the external disc drive =\ then, there's also the lenovo thinkpad which is supposedly the most durable and the fujitsu lifebook which i still think is the chioest yet! so many choices, so little money :(
