Many people postulate that the reason why so many blogs are left abandoned were because the users started the blog without knowing what exactly they want to blog about. I generally concur, as I have left many abandoned that way of late nowadays.

But even though I don’t really have anything noteworthy to blog about, and my level of English is getting from bad to worse, I still start blogs, in the hope of keeping them alive. Don’t let the flame and passion for writing burn out! or so they say. And Lizzy, my longtime friend and online companion, has a post on her own blog about blogging to stay creative. Heck, I don’t want to become a dull, boring person, even though I have no idea what creative faculties I have been blessed with. Does Java count? hurhur.

In any case, since I don’t really have a set topic for this post, I shall entertain the two of you reading this (myself and the Google bot coming by to index my page – to the Google bot: Don’t waste Google’s disk space. You can skip this one.) with a not-so-pretty picture of my room.

Hur. My camera sucks. I know.

Yes, at least one of you would be very interested to know what my room looks like, right? Granted, it’s not exactly IKEA-catalogue material, but I like my two IKEA lamps! How they cast their diffused light and generally imbue a sleepy, woozy atmosphere in the room. Which is not conducive for studying, but I don’t care.

And anyway, I can’t get my room into the IKEA catalogue because I’ve noticed that all their room layouts assume that you are leaving the air conditioner on 24/7. So much for their “environmentally-friendly” clarion call to consumers. Bleah. Talk to me again when you feature room decors that do away with this foolish assumption. And if you use their ideas in rooms like mine where the window is open more than the air conditioner is, you get dust on the stuff faster than Hamilton on the bumpy Singapore F1 street circuit.

Now, if you would excuse me, I have to work on my Understanding Societies project. I just had the very first group meeting this afternoon, and I want to finish in true-blue SMU kiasu mugger fashion so I have the rest of the recess week to mug. Well done. Of course, I’m not exactly the Mr Kiasmu poster boy, there are many people I know who probably have done all the problem sets in the Macroeconomics textbook, ready for the Midterm in two weeks time. Those are the same people who’ll be finding the optimal line height for their resume the rest of the week.
