About writing...

Over the weekend, I managed to write around 1000 words for A Mere Digression. It is a pitiful number considering how fast the words came when I first began that story. What was more frustrating was the fact that I couldn't remember what happened in the last chapter I posted - GAH! Most frustrating!


About TV shows...

Out of boredom (and because it was cheap on Amazon), I bought the whole season 1 of Blood Ties, without knowing what it was all about. The next thing I know, I found myself glued to the screen, watching each episode one after another. Then I got to the final episode and realise that they have stopped it at season 1. *Rolls eyes* I distinctly recall the same thing happening to two other shows I enjoyed watching - Dark Angel and Firefly. I sure know how to pick them, huh? Hehe!


About work...

It's depressing. Everyone is so worried about being sacked, and the media is not helping at all. The worst hit industries in UK are apparently banking and construction. And guess what, I'm stuck firmly in the construction industry. *Sags* Perhaps it is time to seriously considering writing as a career. Then again, if I do that, I might be worse off than I am right now, hehe!

I've just updated my latest Naruto fanfic  with Chapter 2.

**Cross-posted to ItaSaku

Hi everyone! Gosh, seems like such a long time since I last posted anything.

For those of you wondering why I'm asking to be added as friends again... *Points upwards at username* Hehe, well, I feel kind of foolish but something is wrong with the main page of that account. Hence the absence. It was a bit too much effort to customise everything again, but I finally got off my butt to do it.

Ah well, I'll be using this account from now onwards. :)
