You are now disconnected

Ever since becoming moderator for the hocc site, I’ve been online a lot more often than before, and even though it hasn’t quite become an addiction (i hope), it is now a daily ritual. So when my monitor died last Friday, it felt weird not being able to surf the Internet for several days. By the time I got back online, I had to spend some time catching up.

During the ‘Internet-less’ days, I turned to my long-abandoned books and VCD box-sets. I finished “The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy” and started on “A Thousand Pieces of Gold”, two books that have been collecting dust for more than half a year since I got them. (Haha, both Sammi and hocc are avid readers so I shouldn’t be too lazy myself!) I picked up where I left off at "Files of Justice IV". I also tried to practise my guitar more often.

I realised that I was spending too much time online and there are plenty other things worth doing, so from now on I will take care not to waste time doing mindless surfing. But still, I was relieved when J managed to get a second-hand monitor for me. It really didn’t seem worthwhile getting a completely new one. Thks, J!

Also resolved to go to the gym with J at least once a week. (Yes, still keeping my NY resolutions in mind!) We used to go for tennis sessions, but after stopping for a couple of months in Nov/Dec due to lousy weather, we seemed to have lost the impetus. J's good at so many sports but I haven’t really got much talent in this dept, so glad that we got back to the gym routine or else I'll really be a terribly unfit, lazy bum.
