A good day, a long blog..
I woke up today with a NAGGING feeling to check my hotmail account. I dont usually do that simply because I dont use it that much anymore.. ( plus.. i have to scroll through thousands of junk mail.. ) BUT I didnt anyways and I am REALLY REALLY glad I did because a really good friend wrote me an email. I wouldnt want to miss that email for thousand dollars !
by the end of the day,
I felt rather acomplished !
Wrote at least 15 emails !
I am taking the Jenny's advice
to just do something for myself
and to relax.. sooo.. i took
a LONG bubble bath...with good music..
Enjoying my melon-flavoured bubble bath ( The Body Shop ), first bubble bath in 2005 ! Yeah.. reading one of my favourite magazines. Popular Science covered a section on the new Airbus 380. Biggest commercial jet flying today. SWEET ! It might just replace my favourite Boeing 747-400. Anyways.. for the geeks out there... here are some facts about the A380
The wing span is 262 ft, 50 more than a 747. It will carry 30% more passengers than a 747 in 1.5 times the floor space. AND the best part about it ! It burns 12% less fuel per seat than a 747, i.e 80 passengers miles per gallon. A total of 149 airplanes have been ordered and its first customer is SINGAPORE AIRLINES ! The first airbus will enter service in mid 2006 !
Fly Singapore Airlines - a great way to fly.
Singapore Airlines is a national pride, together with our award-winning Changi International Airport. Constantly voted as one of the best airports in the world.
The A380 will have a few airlines changing interior amenities. Converting 'revenue-dead' space to bars, casinos.. etc.... but most airlines are still hush hush about the changes. A380 can hold more than 800 seats ! Airline CEOs may have said that they plan to carry less than 500 so as to make room for the extra amenities. But I think all business still operate on a make profit basis. Don't you think ?
The same friend that emailed me also remined me of the songs that I use to listen to when I was younger. Sure, they are not classics like the 60's or 70's. But music from the 90's have their own charms and I am a 90s kid ! As I listen to the songs I downloaded, I thought of the cassette tapes I use to have when I was younger... yes.. tapes. not a CDs. Cassette tapes...I use to listen to when I was younger. Its one of those where you actually sat by the radio, wait for the DJ to announce the name of the song and press RECORD and PLAY button. At the same time, you will KILL anyone who makes noise while in the same room as you. You will even take time to label and write the names of the songs on the cover ! ha ha ha ha... those were the days..

as we all know my REAL age isnt 27, so I love the 90s..much better than the 80s, but then...the best things come from the 70s of course :P hehe...
A W E S O M E: You are relaxing! Glad to read that.
PS: Somehow the songs are cut off :'( At least on my screen..
this is funny, me and patty just had a discussion yesterday about how the 90's is a great decade and i love the fact that i grew up during the 90's!

Celine, I am also huge fan of Boeing 777-400, it looks damn gorgeous! Haha, have a small model n hundreds of photos. I like SIA too, especially stewardesses in batiks!
Gimme a break, the 2000s are just the Nineties modified for today's teeny bopper generation. Every Nineties sytle, except for that cheesy dance music (like Snap and CC Music Factory) still has a popular presence in 2005. While pop-punk and Neo-Wave rock are big, numetal and post-grunge is just as big. The top artists right now are Green Day, Mariah Carey, and Gwen Stefani. Green Day! Imagine if Duran Duran were the most popular group of 1995 or Earth, Wind, and Fire were of 1985. You can't. The 2000s (actually 1997 on) is just a lame, modified continuation of the meat of the 90s (about fall 1991 to summer 1997). 2005 IS the Nineties, in a popular sense. No backlash for the Nineties (expect for 1990, which is really just the 80s stretched into the 90s a bit) is present, just an evolution from them.
