thanks and hello char!

this is really strange because I was positive I added you already, and anyway i think i did because when i invited you again this time your email address was cached so it appeared again.

anyway, i can't believe u know what TESOL is! with mingen ignoring us -_-....

can't wait till mak sees her solo model shot HAHAHA

and congrats on the french oral lj! im very fascinated with ha/ruki muraka/mi too... in fact did i tell you about what i wiki-ed about him already? i thought i did, but i can't rmb when/where. also, i think we're kinda 3 or 4 years late. ap/arn/a was reading his books like in sec 3 or 4?!?!?! i mean the litty circle (which charmaine belongs to) was like very aWARE....

in any case regarding the jap translation, let's just say that it took me 7 years of french to start reading proper french books.... and i've only done.. uhh... almost 2 years of jap!?!??! but yAH actually i was so motivated to read his books that i was crazy mugging jap past two days, reading online blogs and gossip columns. progress is interminable.

also, i realised that ha/ru/ki /mu/r/a/k/ami is from /w/as/e/d/a university! which only rang a bell because they were advertising this new d/ouble/d/e/gre/e prog at NUS like in October this year. which i didn't even give two hoots about, because i was so sianned about the turkish experience that i thought i'd just carry on coasting passively in nu/s forever. but then suddenly i started looking at the prog, and even though it's quite messy, like, i emailed them and the people in charge were rather clueless also about the structure (which reminded me of what me/lm/ak said about her sister's friend from /n/u/s who had a horror exchange trip where suddenly the school said they didn't want to recognise her MCs) so yah. that's just that for now.

the plus point about it is that if successful, i spend 2 years in /wa/s/e/da (which is in to/k/yo/!) and 3 years in /n/us/. the minus point is that that's 5 years of school. which may be a plus point depending on my mood of the day. another minus point is that i'll have to sacrifice com sci... which im not so sure about yet. let's wait for the release of results this dec then! if it turns out ive flunked comsci (not so improbable) then maybe it would be prudent to just explore for fun at home ha ha ha

so my long long winding story.

regarding the new layout... i actually think its quite messy! the pink part should be a bit bigger... cos the words start too close to the border. im going to work on it tmr. also, i've looked at tonnes of other blogs, kids are amazing.

did i tell you that when i was p3 or p5 i forgot.. when i was in my "Faline" phase. did any of you know me by the name "Faline"? if not, then it must have been before p4. the name was from bambi, and i actually was inspired by the whole "keypal" movement and i created a website.. and i added a freaking interactive CHAT box (applets i think, it was dull and black, but it worked) on my page. and i managed to chat with somebody from the US i think, who was at my page at the same time. and looking at other bloggies ... actually /cl/au/i/ac/ha'/ng from my class in jc was actually rather good at the whole website design business too. she even had her own company and was earning money i think. people are amazing really

okok enough crap. im going out for brunch now.. and then mugg!! ^_^
