Long overdue
Ok, now for a long overdue entry with the details of the happenings on Saturday and Sunday as well as the happenings on Monday and yesterday. Ah, not sure if this will be a long entry, but I think I'll take quite long to type it.
Saturday, 22 October 2005
Ok, the early part of Saturday was spent trying to settle my webhosting problem. After so many problems, I conclude that I'm officially terrified of webhosting issues. It's really not easy to find a reliable and prompt webhost. There are so many fraud ones around and you will only know how good (or bad) they are after you have tried them. Of course there might be friendly websites and forums which can help. So... the key thing to this is to make sure ample research is done, by Googling on the Internet.
I left for the BBQ session at Downtown East feeling rather down because the webhost problem. Met up with Elaine, Victor, Holly and Tammy on the train at Queenstown MRT Station. The whole duration of (and even after) the trip was spent telling Elaine and Victor about the whole webhosting and myFLASHbox story.
Elaine wasn't feeling well, so we stopped by White Sands. Victor bought Yakult (or Vitagen) I don't remember which for Elaine and each of us had a bottle each. Holly, Tammy and I bought finger foods from Old Chang Kee. I had a curry puff and the soft fried sotong on a stick. Nice...
It was eh... around 8pm I guess... by the time we reached the BBQ. It was Vince's birthday BBQ. Nice of him to have invited us. Yvonne was already there by the time we reached. Jinde appeared soon after. I had bee hoon, curry and fishballs. Vince and his friends were busy BBQ-ing food for us. Ate hotdogs, chicken wings and pork chop as well.
The highlight for the day is not just the cake-cutting session. I think the vodka drinking session was quite happening also. It was Vince's first time making vodka 7-UP. I tried the first cup. It was... alcoholic, considering that he mixed 3/4-parts vodka with 1/4-parts 7-UP. I had to frantically dilute the concoction after my first sip. Well, I drank a few more cups after that and was quite "seh". I think I talked a lot after that, to keep myself from falling asleep...

Was slightly "late" for church. Supposed to reach earlier since I had sound duty. There was lesson in the afternoon and this time, it was my turn to buy snacks. I bought some 点心 from a stall that is quite near the church, after following a friend's directions. The food was not bad... I quite like the 叉烧酥.
It was late afternoon by the time I got home and the time was spent settling the webhost thingy. Good news was that someone approached me to ask if I'm interested to have a sponsor for my myFLASHbox site. I contacted the person and we came to an agreement by sleeping time, ending my few days of webhosting misery.
