7th May 2005

Since yesterday, I wasted a combined 4 hours at Starbucks JB trying in vain to download using a faulty wireless network. Fortunately, I didn't order a single thing, for I ensure that my downloads are proceeding before buying stuff there.

The food that I did treat myself to were a Salmon Teriyaki at Seasons Cafe and, this morning, a cranberry muffin and delightful raspberry cheesecake at Coffee Bean&Tea Leaf. The last item was particularly yummy and I took small itty-bitty bites at a time to savour the delicious white chocolaty, cheesy and yet sour taste which melded beautifully and meltingly in my mouth.


Not having any debts allows me to indulge in my love of food and reflect philosophically on life.

While I was sitting at Starbucks with frustration building up inside, I noticed a scantily-clad girl sitting behind me, in a position to be able to observe me. When I totally ignored her, she moved out after about an hour, only to return half an hour later and position herself outside directly beside me and facing the opposite direction, which I figured out is the best place to get my attention. I immediately moved my stuff to the next table, with my back pointedly in her direction.

Some people need to learn that one can't mine diamonds with worthless glass.



Of course I was frustrated at the server trouble; but I took it in my stride eventually and settled for slow-mo connection at Macs. I'm this close(thumb & index finger puckered together) to downloading the strange proceedings at the All-Around competition in Sydney....in French!
