I've embarked on a project to learn six new words in sign language every day. I figure that to be 42 words a week, 180 words a month, 2070 new words a year and 6552 words by my 25th birthday. That's about the vocabulary of a kindergarten student, so I'll be well on my way.

Suffice it to say, I will not be writing in here while I'm away in Florida, so don't burn out your brain cells wondering why nothing's being updated from the 7th onwards.

Department of fiction, fabrication, and half-truth:
Po Chin, one of the Singaporean seniors, has a cat. Its name is Muffin. It's not supposed to be living in Po Chin's apartment because that's Against The Rules, but it is anyway. A neighbor tried to unmask the illicit concealment, but he failed because all was circumstantial evidence. Po Chin is an English major who's writing a thesis on contemporary female authors, including Penelope Lively, which I'm sure makes her happy because Penelope Lively tends to make people feel like that, albeit in a wistful, nostalgic kind of a way.
