This is depressing. I just defaced my sleek little laptop battery. 1 drop and it's now cracked and chipped all over the place. :((( I will never ever again attempt to place delicate objects around my working area. I want a new laptop battery. Now. Buy tmr.

On a separate note (even though I'm still uber depressed about my laptop battery :((((( ), CNY was same old. I recall being super excited every time CNY was drawing close but whole idea of donning new purchases, delectable dinner spreads, mountains of gui jis is kinda losing it's charm as the years pass. All save the red packets of cos.

This year, my father bought several... items he never used to buy in preparation for CNY. Actually, make that "he never used to buy at all". 1st was the huge mini mandarin orange plant thing. He placed that right outside the door, apparently to welcome guests into the house with fu2 (that's hanyu pinyin). It's actually a little bit in the way. 2nd was a pair of brilliant coloured flower plants. 1 he placed at our dining area, the other beside the telephone. A little too glaring for my taste, but whatever makes him happy you know. And last but certainly not least, this fire cracker toy that, with a flick of the switch, chants new year greetings followed by fire cracker cracking SFX. And it runs in loop! He turns that on every time guests step into the house.

I think my father's so cute sometimes.

SIGH. Still depressed about my laptop battery. And I'm starting to get depressed that my father's making all these unique purchases as well. I fear age is catching up on him... :(((

I'm just gonna try sleeping the depression away.
