Strangely, I can no longer update my About page. I haven’t tried to update it since months and I’ve upgraded my wordpress to the latest version one not long ago. It’s only now that I realise that I cannot edit my About page any more. After I press Save, the page is redirected to post.php instead.
My other pages can be edited successfully. That’s so strange. I had to edit my About page via the database instead but still, it’s really troublesome to have to do that each time I want to edit my About page.

I have edited my About page via the database and deleted all the text and saved the page. Then , I went in my wordpress ‘Manage pages’ page to edit the About page. I wrote the word ‘testing’ and pressed Save. The page could be edited successfully. It seems that it’s a word in my About page which was causing my page not to save properly.
I had kept a copy of my About page content so I pasted one paragraph of text and pressed the Save button. I did this for the rest of the paragraphs until the page doesn’t save and gets redirected to post.php instead. Then I pasted sentences by sentences until I managed to track down the word which was causing all this trouble.

It’s the word ’s e t’ . (sorry for the spaces in between, my post won’t save otherwise. )
I then edited my Links page (just to see if I get the same problem with other pages)and put the word ’s e t’ at the very beginning and the page can still be saved.
I put the word one paragraph below and it could still be saved. When I write that word further down or at the end of the page, the page cannot be saved. So weird.

note: I’m very bored right now but I guess that it’s quite obvious.

*blink blink* It must be a refreshing change to see some content here after so many months.
(note: Website still loooking a bit messy. I know, I know. At the moment you are reading this, I might still be working on the CSS. I’ll try to finish fixing everything before I go to bed.)

My last official entry was on the 6th June after all. More than 3 months. Missed me?

So many things have happened.
I didn’t feel like updating at all because I was depressed.

The 3rd July 2006 is a day I’ll forever remember. Things eventually worked out but still, I feel like I got scarred emotionally. I had never felt so full of doubts like that before.
Moreover, I was unable to go on my trip. I was stuck in Shanghai for the hols and it sure wasn’t pleasant at all. They were the hottest months of the year and my friends were elsewhere for the holidays. A few more things happened but I won’t go into the details. It’s all in the past now. Still, the good thing is that I feel a bit stronger after all this. Ah… and I finally received my new passport and had my new residence permit done. Those people who managed to catch me on msn know how stressed I had been. I got my new passport during the middle of August and it was too late to go on the trip by then. I’m very sad about not having gone to Malaysia and Singapore but there’s always next year.
I’d like to say a BIG thank you to those people who emailed me out of concern. I never replied because writing about my problems were making me feel even more depressed at that time. I hope that you will understand. Again , thanks a lot.

I might have had boring holidays but at least, now everything is alright. I even lost a few kgs during the hols. Food didn’t taste good when I was eating alone everyday.
I moved to International Students Building 1 at the end of August. I live in a single room now. The room is smaller than my previous one and there is no bathtub in the bathroom. Still, I love my new room. I’m still not done with decorating and cleaning. I have too many things which I cannot bear to throw away. My bf once said to me: “You think you garang guni ah? “. My things are not junk. Most of them have sentimental values. Anyway, I will post pics of my room when I’m done.

My ex-roommate is now living on the 9th floor. I’m on the 10th. Strangely, my ex-roommate and I exchanged a few words in class the other day. We had been acting like strangers, completely ignoring each other during the last few months that we were living together. I didn’t think that we could ever talk to each other again. Still, it’s a good thing. It’s high time to move on.

oh… and I turned 22 years old two weeks ago (on the 9 th September) ! I didn’t do anything special for my birthday and I don’t feel any older. The semester started on the 11th September and I feel great. Time sure flies. I’m in my 3rd year already. It doesn’t really feel like two years have passed. Anyway, it also means that I have two more years left until I graduate.
