it seems like ages since i last updated this blog. no i'm not dead, merely sleeping.

actually no, i lie. i just wanted to use a line from the parrot sketch. with the tech assignment due, the motivation to blog has been minimal. from looking at my gostats thing though, it's nice to see some of you guys still check back =) *wipes away a tear*

recent plans:

1. go to melbourne to visit munner (decided about half an hour ago) yes mun! i am coming to terrorize you!! you thought you could escape me by going to melbourne while i'm in singapore, but i won't have any of that.

2. to abolish the awkward silence

huh? what thing? allow me to elaborate. you know how you enter a lift and you kind of smile at the person inside but then after that it feels like you hold your breath/twiddle your thumbs/check your nails/"sms" for what seems like an eternity before the lift doors open and you rush out because it was kind of weird being in that enclosed space with this person that you see around sometimes but don't really know so what are you supposed to do? anyway, i've decided to do away with that and start short little conversations with people. so far it's worked kinda. so far i've said random things to 3 people and they've all turned out fairly successful! and no, i did not meet with cold looks. they genuinely responded and laughed and said random funny things back. and if i can do it, i'm sure most people can too. try it! because if you are friendly to people, you feel good after, and i'm assuming that the person you chatted to briefly feels a little better too and the joy is spread. it may not be hallelujah-joy but certainly a little feel-good inc. can't hurt right?

help abolish the awkward silence and make this world a better place one small step at a time. and soon, people will be saying
