Internet and phone services have been disrupted across much of Asia on Wednesday after an earthquake damaged undersea cables, leaving one of the world's most tech-savvy regions in a virtual blackout.

The disruption was widespread, hitting China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and elsewhere, with knock-on effects as far away as Australia for companies whose Internet is routed through affected areas.

I woke up today and saw Xiaoping's sms, saying that the gateway is down. So I thought this thing is forcing me to study. Well, with a bag of twisties, coffee and FM Radio Station 93.3, I did 2 homework in one hour, slacked for 2 hours before getting my butt down on the computer seat and check out the internet connection.

The internet connection is pretty stable for me, surfing google and blogger is quite fast. Unlike most of the other people, both MSN and Blogger is working very well. However I can't access to Youtube and Hotmail.

So anyway, I tried new instant coffee today. I had my money with me to 7 eleven to pick up a bag of twisties. Saw Grandeur Coffee and decided to try it out. And I love it. The aroma is not too strong and it's not too sweet either. For coffee lovers, you could try this brand too. Simply too nice to say anything.

Anyway #2: Sissy went to Penang for a performance till 31st December. I woke up at 3 plus in the afternoon and managed to catch the last glimpse of her before she went away. "If there's traffic jam, I will be only back on 1st of January," she said. Holy cow, I will miss her like crap.

Anyway #3: I'm serious about the votings for the previous post. Vote please!
Results so far: Valie: 3 votes, Adrian: 0 votes

So I say, Adrian shall die. MUAHAHAHAAHA.
