Fever,headache…. all since Friday night.
I hate being sick. I never liked taking medicine. I can’t even swallow pills unless they are tiny….and I really mean tiny. It was Chenyi’s birthday on Saturday and despite feeling sleepy, I went to sleep about 2 hours after all the others have returned home.
Photos later maybe. I’m feeling very tired even if I’ve slept for at least 10 hours yesterday. My head feels like it’s going to explode. I was planning to go to the beach tomorrow with some friends but I think I’d better stay at home.

I learned about Gmail notify when reading Will’s tabulas. This is a must-have for Gmail lovers.

The Gmail Notifier is a downloadable Windows application that alerts you when you have new Gmail messages. It displays an icon in your system tray to let you know if you have unread Gmail messages, and shows you their subjects, senders and snippets, all without your having to open a web browser.

Note: The Notifier is in beta.
I’ve already downloaded it and it’s very useful. Be sure to read the FAQs too.

I did this for fun. Got the link from Joachim’s blog. It looks like a girl sitting in front of a desk and computer or maybe it’s just me who’s thinking too much. Must be the fever. Go to the Toogle Image Search, write your name (or any word) there and click enter to see an image.
A different image might come up after a few days though.

btw,I’ve edited my previous post to add yet another Mauritian blogger, Asvin. He found my blog somehow.

  I hope you get well soon!

  I tried to watch how Toogle works, and it appears that it takes the first result of the Google Images search for the keyword, then it converts it to colored letters… so I guess your result is the first of http://images.google.com/images?q=aline+wong
