I have been cut off from the world for more than a week. No, I was not stranded in a Pacific island. I had a telephone problem.
This automatically affected my streamyx service. With me still boycotting to buy NST and other main stream media, that means I was also cut off from news. Worst of all, I am denied from blogging.
