woohoo!!

I've been on a shopping spree since exams finished. Almost every store here's on sale. Well most of the stores I frequent are on sale. Girls = shopping = therapeutic.

Guess what i got? Jodi Picoult and Kim Edwards!!

Don't you just love the smell of unopened books? They've got that particular paper scent you only get with new books. For the next few days, I'll be devoting my time to my books. Hours and hours of reading. Such bliss.

Pardon me for my slight hyperactivity. I've been deprived of books for a while now so having new books to read gets me all worked up!

well...it's happy reading for me...and ahm...if i don't blog for the next few days...you'll know why.

I have a craving for books coz it's been so long since I last read a book for leisure.

melbourne gunman

It was splashed across the homepage of The Age's website this morning.

"one dead, 2 critical"

It made the national breaking news.

I know it happens from time to time when some nutcase decides to shoot someone. But for it to happen so close to where you are, it's scary.

From where I come from, you'd never hear of anything like this happening.

why you (and I) should write smaller

Two exams down, 2 to go!!

I had to ask for a second answer booklet b'coz I ran out of space to write in the exam this morning. It was I think a 15-page booklet but it only had ruled pages on one side of the sheet that we could write on. Plus the lines were spaced apart to accommodate people with large handwriting.

There was only one more question to answer and I ran out of space. So they gave me another one of those 15-page booklets to write on. At that point I started thinking about how many trees I was killing in the process of getting my degree.

What a distraction!

The worst part was I only used up 2 pages. The rest are going to waste.

OMG. I am a tree killer.

I am going to hell for this (sy said so). If not, then I'm contributing big time to global warming and deforestation and droughts and...well basically destroying the earth.

Maybe I should start writing a bit smaller from now on.
