I haven't blogged for a while. No astute observations lately, perhaps, or, instead of saving things up for blogging, I just twitter and update facebook, and don't bother to put together a coherent piece of more than 140 characters.
So they say I've graduated. Funny how this feels- almost nothing. Although I like being on holiday, I can't picture myself not studying anymore for the rest of my life. I'm pretty sure I will eventually start studying again. There is something thrilling about seeing textbooks and reading new information, so much so that I feel a twinge like I'm missing something when I see other people read notes and books while taking public transport. That used to be me.
Actually, until quite recently. After lab ended, I had to prepapre for some standardized tests and I've had to study for them: dredging out math knowledge and mugging vocabulary lists. It's amazing how many words there are in the dictionary, how so many words have different inflections and insinuations.
Learning will never end.
Other new things that I've done recently include
1) Prawning- catching prawns in a purpose-built pond, then twisting off their pincers, unhooking them and eating them salted and barbequed
2) Fishing- catching fish along the jetty, getting their scales all over and my finger all fishy-smelling, and putting them in the icebox
3) Playing with wordle.net, a word cloud generator. It makes really good-looking things that I wouldn't be able to by myself. This was what was generated from the recent RSS of my blog; it emphasis the right things:

4) Watching a Korean drama- Boys Over Flowers, to be exact, because Patty said Carol and I owed her after having her watch Hannah Montana the Movie with us. I sat through episodes 1, 2, 13, 14 and a bit of 15 in one day. It's super-cheesy and hilarious, much more so than Hannah Montana, even with the latter's computer-generated butterflies. Carol and I laughed so much at the sentimental bits Patty and Grace got frustrated with us. I appreciate some romantic movies (like Pride & Prejudice) but this was WAY over the top. Though I suppose it feeds people's cravings for romantic cheese (like Twilight). Who wouldn't want 4 handsome guys protecting/chasing/joking with/breaking the heart of one girl? HM. But I admit that I went home to watch episode 25 (the last one) to ensure that Patty's convoluted explanation was right. She was right: it was convoluted. Otherwise, TV time is almost a novelty now that American Idol has ended.
Okay, so I'm going away for a while. If you want some amusement, visit Stuff Christians Like for hilarious church stereotypes. :) being a PK does have its perks.
