Mango Squid Salad

Whoaa... has it really been 2 weeks since I last updated this blog??

My connection has been quite pathetic the past few weeks... when I do get connected, it is so darn slow. A slow connection can really drive even the sanest person crazy! Anyway, the connection seems to have stabilized today so yay!! Hope it stays that way.
