Post 100!
Can't believe I have had this blog for like 2 years now? Pretty amazing. Anyway, *pts to new blog skin* of Final Fantasy starring Cloud & Tifa. Credits to whoever at Blogskin for such a beautiful skin. Pretty ain't it! I wanted a Kuchiki Byakuay skin but somehow nobody made one that is up to my rather, high expectations.
Anyways. For people who are curious about what I have been up to since I stopped working since 15 Feb 2008, I have generally being slacking.

What's So Amazing About Grace - Philip Yancey

I should read more lit books when I have the time and mood. Before I sound extremely ignorant in front of people.
Lit books are good for me to improve my English as well.

Someone should whip me into editing my PSC essay before I miss the deadline.
A level results aren't spectacular. I was expecting 4As. But I guess I would't complain if I get into Law School.
Got my other apps done except SMU and PSC. Sighs.
Siyi should stop tempting me about University of Sydney. My mum won't pay for it. But I think the IR & Law double degree is uber fun.

My darn sound system is screwed. I can't listen to music properly with my com now.

I need a job for cash.
And to kill time and have a life.
Work that I wanna try before I die
1. Baristas at Coffee Bean/ Starbucks
2. Cd Shop
3. Book Store
I wanna do community work too. Hang on. I am serving at 12th now anyway. Maybe dealing with kids? But my schedule's pretty packed. Let's see.
But anyways. Job hunting begins next week. Any interesting jobs for me?

I need to be in tune with Politics and Current Affairs because a) I have a law school interview and b) I wanna be informed. I like to know what's going 'round about me. Sheesh. And I stopped subscribing to TIME already. Then again, I was never a big TIME fan. I like The Economist more. The articles speak more to me.
Hm. National Geographic has nice articles too.
So does Scientific American.
Nahz. Just The Economist will make me happy. Mum will kill me if I order too many mags and NOT read them.

Mum and I are at Cold War still. For the past week or so.
It was something to do with me coming home late I think. Ark.

I have decided to discontinue Linger for the time being. Will be deleting the fic once the review comes in. I will keep a soft copy of the story in my com though.
Will be concentrating on DL and PP though.

I wanna meet Esther up one of these days to check. Gosh. When was the last time I met her? Last year. And SHOOTS. I haven't bought her a birthday present. I better take that down.
I haven't passed Gareth his either. His Xmas + Bdae 2-in-1 present.
OH OH. Noel as well. But would I be meeting him soon? *ponders*

Sheesh. Haven't done QT in 2 days. Someone kick me. All these going out is killing me QT (Wait. I think it's MY fault for not doing QT) Okay. I will go pray immediately when I am done with this.
