Currently listening to: Autumn Leaves - Diana Krall
Quote Of The Day: "My one regret in life is that I am not someone else." - Woody Allen

Another bleh day of the work/uni/study combination. Only difference was that by the end of the day i was tired enough to fall asleep for two hours (which is unusual in itself) and causing me to miss my appointment with the treadmill.

*sigh*

Went for a quick mamak in the evening at Bestari's with Al and Leonard and that was pretty much my day.

Can't think of anything better to write about so i got inspired by a post in Tedy's blog and decided to join this 100 Things About Me Webring.

Right. Here goes nothing (in no particular order):

*phew!*

Hrm. Still bored.

Need to waste more time...

You May Be a Bit Schizotypal ...

A bit odd and socially isolated. You couldn't care less of what others think. And some of your beliefs are a little weird. Like that time you thought you were Jesus.

Good times they were too. ;)

Hrm... relatively accurate (i think) at any rate.

You Are Somewhat Honest

You do tend to tell the truth a lot But you also stretch the truth on occasion You figure a little lie isn't a big deal As long as it doesn't hurt anyone too much!

I never lie. ;)

Your Love Style is Agape

You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner. Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare. You are willing to sacrfice your world for your sweetie. Except it doesn't really feel like sacrifice to you. For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love.

Ok, NOW i'm done.
