Singapore General Election 2006

May 7th, 2006 · No Comments · Everyday News

Galileo Probe and Jupiter’s Moons

February 22nd, 1997 · No Comments · Diary, Everyday News, From the Attic

Woke up at 2 pm.  Actually planned to wake up at 7:30 am to watch “The Rock” again but couldn’t get up.  Had a lazy shower and ordered a light snack room service.  Felt good at that time.
