I am bored at home, being the only unemployed cookier at the moment. In a very gloomy mood. Snail's right -- this freedom isn't liberating at all.

In an attempt to cheer myself up by doing something silly, I have indulged myself in the following "activity". I will much appreciate it if everyone would humour me by responding to it, and when free, come up with your own "lists"!

Lets see how well we know each other -- or think we do!

Think of 15 short bits of interesting stuff about yourself. And they've gotta be true.
Come up with 5 false statements regarding yourself, but for fun's sake keep them in the threshold of believability.
Jumble them all up together and list them in any order.
Post them on your blog and let people guess which the five false ones are!

1. I fractured my nose before.
2. I have unusually long nails naturally.
3. I use British Spelling because I don't like American Spelling.
4. I've only gone to Malaysia once in my entire life.
5. I hate running.
6. I brush my teeth after breakfast.
7. I hung out with the bullies in primary school.
8. I was an extrovert.
9. I resent being called a Thinker.
10. I extracted 4 teeth when I did my braces.
11. I have a soft spot for tatty teddies.
12. I like cats.
13. I often get bleeding noses.
14. I wanted to be a musician when I was young.
15. I started learning the piano when I was 5.
16. The longest I've been in the same class as anyone was 8 years straight.
17. I hate my height.
18. I hate my weight.
19. I don't know how to cycle.
20. I am a snob.

i must learn to be more resilient to dampeners, and more easily affected by mood lifters.

ytd i was all gloomy and unhappy cos my ed practically rewrote my article and told me that i didn't have enough information, so now i've to call a zillion people and go down to the place again. plus it didn't do anything in terms of encouragement for me. BUT on reflection, in a better mood tdy, i guess that's what happens with every new thing you do. I've never much liked beginnings bcos of the adjustments (and i think i'm slow to adapt), but middles are comfy for me. but the thing is, you don't learn much during middles, do you? that's when you hone your skill after you've gotten the basics.

anw little things tdy improved my mood. my section's journalist asked me to go for lunch with her and her friends, so i got to know more ppl in the newsroom! i think she's prob the best supe one can get. the cooperative ppl i talked to for my new story are helping me get it out on time. i got my pic in IN, and left work relatively early so i cld do some sit-ups bef dinner in goodness knows how long since. (the tummy is not cooperating in aching though) plus i managed to have dinner on time tdy with my family!

cheers to tomorrow.

My job's ending soon and strangely I do feel a little weird about leaving, despite how I am bored by it's monotony and rattled by the fact I'm not really learning anything. (shrugs)

French Class yesterday was definitely illuminating, and I'm not talking about the language alone. Like how I found out French people actually LIKE Singlish over proper English. That aside, my classmates are interesting -- we've a mix of nationalities. There this Japanese Professor (who incidentally looks like the Korean doctor in Grey's Anatomy) and this Burmese Engineer. And oh, I happen to be the youngest there because the rest are working class adults.

Anyway, I enjoyed reading today's columns in Lifestyle, especially the main one, about life. I found it very useful advice, at this point when we're all trying to make our career decisions and I (at least) am afraid of picking the wrong path. Life's full of what ifs. I guess shes right -- you need to follow a calling, if not a job will always be a job and nothing more.

Other than that, I look forward to "meetings" with old friends, even when we're all old and wrinkled, and hopefully not forgetful enough to forget about our friendship. (:

i've forgotten how good it is to run at your own lazy pace, nevermind if the grandpa carrying weights and jogging outstrips you. to look around and to enjoy people watching, concentrating not within yourself but without, watching the surroundings go past you at a leisurely pace allows you to truly make running your hobby.

it's been seven days on the job for me and i must say it is getting more exciting. so far highlights include seeing four captions i wrote published, being grabbed last-minute for a photo shoot (because i resembled a teacher), writing about harry potter, meeting wonderful fellow interns who don't think twice about helping you out, getting a free jacket because everyone in the newsroom is entitled to one, being included in IN's bdae celebrations even though i'm new, and mostly nice supes who thank me for my help.

having said that, monday will see me taking on a new challenge. i'll be interviewing two charity organisations solo, and this is something i've never done before, not even for a school magazine. my sole comfort is the fact that a fellow intern underwent the same experience the past week and lived to tell the tale. she rather enjoyed it, in fact. and i've just seen another fellow intern's name in her maiden byline in today's papers. i'd say we're doing rather well, long periods of inactivity in the office notwithstanding.

let me bask in the pleasure of my job for now, because i know that more challenging times must surely be coming. let me have the strength and optimism to withstand these tests, and to emerge unbroken in my spirit for adventure.

everybody go eat a cookie! because i say so. (:

I get the first post of the new year! I missed countdown by sleeping through it, because that was after nearly 40 sleepless hours. But it's no big eh? Just another day. Just another year.

Anyway, Woonli's well and out! Hopefully all of us will be able to meet up soon, not like the dismal attendance for Sunday's dinner. I want to go to the zoo because the polar bear's migrating.

I don't think everyone shares my sentiments, but I really miss not having school to go back to. When I mentioned this to Yiiwen and Mavis the other day they looked at me like I was crazy.
But I really do! Maybe this is on account of me being too sentimental for my own good but I just felt sad that I wouldn't be able to see so many people on a daily basis anymore, or randomly bump into people around school. I just miss everyone.
At least Lyd feels the same way, so I know I'm not alone.

No work tomorrow because of BTT.

Anyway, I've got pictures to post:
