Every 4 years, we hold our National Games, its 5 days of sheer hard work, but very satisfying hard work when you see the happy faces of the athletes.  Where athletes with various degrees of Intellectual Disability comes together to compete in the spirit of the Games' Oath - "Let me win, but if I cannot win, then let me be brave in the Attempt!!!" ... The oath that has been around ever since the 1st Special Olympics took place in 1968 initiated by Eunice Kennedy Shriver.  Its not winning that is important but the opportunity of participating and the triumph of trying that is the focus.  Its a game that I look forward to every 4 years..... one game that I will never miss..... one game that I work hard for......

It will be 5 days living in the Games Village.  I'm hoping that we will have internet access.  If not it will be 5 days without reading any QAF fics.... arggghh!!!.... not sure if I can survive that.... but in the spirit of the games, I am willing to go through QAF fics withdrawal symptoms for the sake of our athletes!!!..... anyway, am in the process of saving some of my fav fics in Word format so that I can still read some and won't have too painful withdrawals..... lol!!!....

Anyway, to anyone else out there who has ever been involved in Special Olympics in your country, hope you will keep on doing it..... and if not, get involve in one way or another...... I promise you its a rewarding experience!!!.... cheers!

After almost 2mths of getting my Acer...I finally decided on a name for him.... its so weird to be using him without giving him a name.... so here it is.... his name is Swirly Shammy Sha-moi......or Swisham for short..... weird name???... funny name??...girlish name for a he lappie??.... hmm..... don't think so...I like it.... and so it will stay..... it comes from the pink swirly skin that my niece bought me for my lappie's cover.... and my current obsession with the word "chamois" and its proper pronunciation.....I know its a French word but I hv been googling and there seems to be 2 different ways of pronouncing it - the French way and the English way..... oh well......
cheers!!

I finally bid farewell to my beloved Delia..... She will never be forgotten at all..... she served me well and I loved her too much!!.... without her, I wouldn't be able to enjoy my QAF fics and get connected to my B/J world!!!!

Although, I have my new Acer, which has yet to be Christened, Delia will always be in my heart.... she's the 1st lappie that I bought with my own hard earned money when I first came back from my overseas studies and struggling financially trying to start being stable again.....

I love you Delia... always and forever!!!...... cheers

p.s: anyone has any ideas on what I should name my Acer??.... hmm......

I got a Secret Admirer V-day wish!!... wow!.. thank you so much Pixiebullet!!.. it has to be you!!.. Although I am very anti-V-Day, its still nice to be wished by someone I cherish so much!

Due to a bad bad bad experience I had one Valentine a long time ago.... I had stopped being excited abt the whole hype of V-day and try to ignore and let the day go by as quietly as possible... even my b/f finds it weird that I am a woman who doesn't make a big deal of V-day...(secretly I am sure he is happy and ecstatic abt it!!)

But anyway, here's wishing everyone a very happy day after V-day!!!
cheers
