Not yet. My mum and sister conveniently forgot to buy me dinner when they went on their shopping spree at Orchard, while I was home working on my presentation slides, bah. And I reminded them 3 times on the phone... but thank goodness my dad's getting me takeaway from Macs via drive thru on his way home. BAAAAAAAAAAH! -
ON Monday night, plainclothes police officers showed up at the home of retired schoolteacher Zeng Hongling's stepfather and took her away.
She has not been seen since.
The 56-year-old's crime appears to be penning a series of first-hand accounts of what happened in the aftermath of last month's earthquake in Mianyang where she lived.
She had reportedly borrowed her stepfather's computer and wrote the series of accounts of her personal experiences.
According to the Wall Street Journal, she then sent them to a friend.
Ms Zeng had reportedly written three articles criticising the construction of schools that collapsed in the powerful quake.
The friend then posted them on the Internet.
Ms Zeng was arrested on Monday by Chinese police in Chengdu on charges of 'inciting state subversion, Hong Kong-based human rights organisation Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said yesterday.
News of her arrest first emerged through her stepfather, Mr Huang Shaofu, through '4th Of June Tianwang', a website run by Chinese human rights advocates.
Ms Zeng was putting up with him temporarily after her home collapsed.
He said that Ms Zeng was taken away at 8pm on Monday by plainclothes police officers.
Mr Huang was interrogated separately, SOH radio network reported.
Ms Zeng's articles had reportedly found their way to an overseas website that criticised the shoddy construction of many schools that collapsed during the devastating 7.9-magnitude quake centred in Sichuan, killing hundreds of children.
The series of articles, one of which was entitled My Personal Experience In The Earthquake, appeared on www.ObserveChina.com, a Chinese-language website hosted in the US.
Another, entitled Earthquake Relief Efforts Fully Reveal The True Face Of Party Officials, questioned the role of Sichuan officials in relief efforts.
It is unclear how the police located her, as the essays were posted under a pseudonym, reported The Wall Street Journal.
School collapses have become one of the most heated issues in the earthquake recovery process - and one that local communist leaders seem anxious to suppress.
State-controlled media have largely ignored the topic and parents and volunteers who have questioned the authorities have reportedly been detained and threatened.
Ms Zeng used to teach at the Southwest University of Science and Technology in Mianyang, and is being held in the city after being detained in Chengdu, the centre said.
A man who answered the telephone at the Mianyang public security bureau said officials did not know about the case, reported The Associated Press. He refused to give his name.
Telephones rang unanswered at the university.
Ms Zeng's detention comes after Chinese dissident Huang Qi, who ran a human rights website and wrote about parents who had lost their children in the quake, was detained in Chengdu last week on charges of allegedly possessing state secrets.
Some news reports maintain that Mr Huang has 'disappeared'.

The SC folks never cease to amaze me.
It's sheer folly to be so openly against LKY and the PAP. One fine day, Men in Black are going to kick down their doors and drag them into some low-level prison... and we won't be missing them!
