Normality Resumed

I've been extremely busy lately. Its no wonder that I noticed a huge spider-web growth while logging into my account. "Must be ages since I last blogged..." was the immediate thought I had and it was true. So after a month of inactivity, here's my long-awaited entry.

Choosing not to blog was not an option for me from the beginning as there were plenty of obstacles put in my way. First of all there was the small matter of my friend inviting me to be a guest author for a short story that he wanted on his blog. Being a simple-minded person with a limited brain capacity, this assignment became more of a hindrance to my blogging mind, disrupting my momentum. Not that my friend's invitation was unwelcomed, it was a refreshing challenge for me and I would not mind such an opportunity if it strikes again. For anyone who have a thing for horror stories (mainly the horrible writing), go visit www.jerome.blogdrive.com

Then disaster hit me. My ever so reliable computer broke down unexpectedly. Just when the thought of my precious blog floated into my mind it had to die on me. I listed some of the reasons that had contributed to such a disaster.

a) The poor machine suffered from a long period of wear and tear and inevitably broke down.
b) The machine unfortunately got infected by those deadly viruses while I opened my e-mail.
c) The machine got extremely disgusted at Sylvester going into the S'pore Idols finals and as a result, got so sick that it felt it could not function anymore.

I'd like to believe the latter was not the ultimate cause of my computer's breakdown but after watching (in horror) the performances of the so-called sly idol wannabe, I became convinced that he was the main culprit. After all, my computer is placed (rather unfortunately) in close vincinity to the television in the living room. Maybe it would not have been so bad if that perpetual lousy singer had not made it through. If he had been kicked out, things could have resumed normality. But thankfully for some common sense and for God's good taste in music, the better singer won eventually. I guess that was why my computer started working again. After all that hype surrounding the Idols competition, I'm just glad that my poor ears are now spared from all that pathetic singing. Last I heard, the local blind and deaf societies had seen a tremendous increase in its members, mostly of whom are Sly fans.

November also saw my worst luck in the betting arena. It seem that I was destined to lose whatever wager I had. But I did not take it to heart for I believed that no person could be down for too long. It was a pretty good way to donate some money to charity and the society too, if my perception of the Singapore Pools is anything to go by. Indeed my bad luck went away with the dark November. December brought some good luck along with it and I'll be looking to add more joy to my Christmas this year.

Well just less than two weeks to Christmas and now everything is back to normal again. At least I'm blogging again.
