Miscellany #2

Also my 300th POST!

Grace, still can't beat you lah :P you've been blogging years before I did!

Listening to Keane's She Has No Time. I didn't know the singer's voice can go THAT high. Looks like Matt has competition now.

Still have some stuff to babble about. Because, erm, I hope you're still reading this.

Have been reading one story or essay a day in Plath's Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams. Really taking my time to digest sloooowwwwly. Read The Wishing Box yesterday, and the ending involved a suicide. Of the main character, a wife. Hmmm...that was depressing. Her notes on people, on the other hand, are super detailed, and somewhat sharp too. Acidic lady.

Gone off Cuckoo's Nest a bit. Fun, interesting - but not quite the page-turner somehow. Still, taking my time.

Holddit. Just thought of a meme.

Eheheheheh.

It's Saturday night lah. You want me to sleep how early ah?
