This Saturday ma good ‘ol highschool friend Charles “The Saint” Fulton is FINALLY tying the knot, i.e. purrrrsy whipped for life… and I say “FINALLY” because the darned bugger postponed his wedding 3 times, yes, THREE times over a period of more than a year… and I actually flew home once for one of his false labours.

Well, since Charles and Vannesa (the lucky bride-to-be) had been kind enough to ask me again-and-again for over a year now, I just had to make that extra effort and fly back home again. Mind you, I hate plane flights.

Thanks to the nice ladies at Wings Travel in Glen Waverley who’ve always done a great job in organising my itineraries, I managed to secure a flight arriving in Kuching a day before Charles and Vannesa’s Big Day (just enough time for the Bachelor Paaaaaartaaaaay!!!). I packed my bags, and I was ready to go… I organised time off my (always running out of time) busy schedule, got things in order, and the next thing I knew I arrived at the Melbourne Airport.

Mind you, I wasn’t in a good mood. I didn’t get enough sleep the night before, and I had been busy all day. I was groggy, and all I was looking forward to was some uninterrupted sleep onboard. In addition, the Australian Customs Dept. has me in their Most Wanted list, so I knew they were gonna give me a hard time.

There was already a long queue at the Malaysia Airlines check-in counters when I got into the Departure terminal. Things didn’t look any better when people left the counters with annoyed faces and still pushing their luggages. Staff started walking around and talking to people queuing at the back, who then looked upset. Some guys behind me started dissin’ Malaysia Airlines and how they tend to overbook. I kept a little hope… After all, I’M NOT GONNA BLOODY DRIVE ONE HOUR HOME TONIGHT in my condition.

My hope was all in vain. When my turn came to step up the counter… The nice lady told me the FLIGHT WAS CANCELLED, and I was given this:

I caught an interesting sight at Chadstone this evening: the dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!

Granted, it’s not as large as the BSOD in Toronto last November:

But hey; if the Great Gates himself admits that Windows isn’t as peachy as he’d like it to be- it can’t be all that bad, can it? Super K should be all smiles with his jolly Mac right about… now.

I never knew oily, crunchy Smith’s potato chips were naturally healthy… Well, now I know. Now I can munch on them all day long without the guilt trip. Grab them from shelves labelled ‘Natural Health’ at Coles, Burwood Highway.

I haven’t been blogging lately (not that anyone notices, or cares). It seems the more interesting and/or busy my life gets, the less time I blog about it. Ironic, isn’t it? Desu ne? Ne?

Rest assured, whoever is reading this (you poor soul), that I’ll be back soon… Hopefully.
