My new toy…
Acer Aspire One (white), simple, sleak, no fuss.

I have finally conceeded that I will not create any big bang computer programming or graphic design, so this little toy is all that I need to be connected to the world (read: blogging, google, gmail, facebook, [...]
JR and I was at Singapore last Christmas…loved the great time spent together and with Josh (and PY)…
