I'm Leaving On A Jetstar Plane
and I know when I'll be back again..

It's been a while since I've been on a family holiday.. too long to remember. Last thing I recall was a cruise back in 99, but I wouldnt call that a holiday when I'm stuck with the whole family on a boat and spewing. hmm no sirree. Add to that I was only a week away from my 18th and hence legal age to do anything. Couldn't even enjoy a cruise liner cocktail! It's even longer since I been to the Gold Coast... way before Movie World was open or planned to even open. Last trip I recall was the World Expo of 1988, although I'm sure I've been back since. Hopefully this trip will be good, although I'm not expecting much. Haven't thought about packing yet or know what to bring or where we're even going. All I know is where we're staying and what we're flying since I paid for it. ack.

Also been dying to go to the Snowy Mountains to ski again this year. A few friends have planned to go (booked even) but I duno.. I feel like saving my precious annual leave since I don't get to accrue much... Being forced to have a maximum of 10 days at the end of year doesn't make me wanna use it either in case of any big plans. *thinks ahead*


[Update]
hmm I jus remembered now after writing the above. Last family trip was up to Cairns - I didn't seem to even remember that til now so that's how lasting that trip was in my mind...

No thank you m'am

My old computer I think has almost had it. I don't think its fully dead yet, but just nothing seems to be working. Replaced the original monitor a few months ago with a 2nd hand one since the old one's CRT tube was kinda dying and this one was heaps better. But now nothing even shows. The CPU tower is kinda quiet, not its usual whirring self. A soft reboot and hard shutdown restart didnt do anything. The harddisk activity light went solid for a lil longer than it should when starting up but nothing. Zip. Nadda. Monitor light green ready but nothing to display. Hopefully its just the monitor again. I should really learn to backup my data. Never backed up a thing on that computer. If its the hard drives maybe I could live with that, majority of my files was on the second hard disk that was installed. All those logs from way back when. Ever since I been online.... as Ajamedor would know :)

Now I'm just trying to remember which hard drive ended up being the primary master and the secondary. ack. Better not have been the newer one that died.

Swoiteee. Another thing we can brag be proud about.

* Was thinking of posting something from the official website.. but I guess not. The company firewall has blocked access of the IP to missuniverse.com so I can't even view anything :) Oh well.. this will have to do-
