a rather marathon post on Singlish is now up, it stands at 1530 words. I think I understand now how the girls feel having to write 1500-word essays. I don't think I could do 5 of those in a week.
anyway, it's ord week 2 now. I'm still pleasantly occupied, reading the papers, doing chores occasionally, going out (a rather rare occurrence thus far). just re-read The Silmarillion and I was struck by the immensity of that created world. the effort Tolkien put into it is just really incredible. the mythology, the languages, the history. it didn't amaze me so much before probably because I was preoccupied trying to figure out who was related to who and who did what, but on a second reading everything was remarkably clear, except I had to occasionally recite to myself the names of the children of Fëanor, Fingolfin and Finarfin. hmm. think I should start on Lord of the Rings again.
I am very close to finally buying a suit for my sister's wedding! actually rather excited. (johnny would say, slut.) got arrowed to go down to arab street and look around for places that personalise ribbons. ah well, all in the name of love.
