It's been one and a half years since my torrid affair with the faceless beast commonly referred to as a VCE English Essay; instead, I have been growing intimate with a very eligible Bachelor of Commerce. Hence, I fear that any last vestiges of linguistic flair will be strapped to a cinder block and plunged into a sea of syntax-abusive, Louis-Vuitton-toting fobs. Indeed, a cursory skim of my blog visitor statistics showed that my blog was somehow referred to by a Google search for "不会说英文了 anymore", which translates to "can't speak English anymore". Encouraging.
So here's hoping that blahging will be the buoy to my floundering English skills, such that 我会说英文.


Anyway, preamble aside, I am currently approaching the tail end of holidays: the sweet sweet reprieve after the exam period, which I will 'affectionately' remember as an era of doom, death, despair and distributions. Unfortunately, I'm currently in a state of penury.

Inspired by The Breakfast Blog and spurred by shameless food porn on Masterchef, I have found a new hobby in splurging on ambrosial brunches with Swee: the only one crazy enough to pay more than $5.95 for breakfast. In a sadistic twist, I have posted the tantalising food porn on Facebook for those missing out. I went on a trip to Lorne with the lovely Monass kids last week, and had the time of my life playing Monopoly, Sardines and watching inebriated friends play Kings; had the occasional (but expensive) jaunt to DFO; bought a new pair of Bvlgari ubernerd glasses; attended a vintage clothing market with Ciara in the hallowed, diamond-encrusted suburb of Camberwell; watched Harry Potter (nerd brigade unite) and Transformers amidst an audience of pubescent boys (who got their $15.50 worth in Megan Fox's décolletage).

Hence, it's not hard to figure out why here I am sitting here whittling through the rest of the winter break with little more than an empty wallet and an unabated internet habit to keep me warm.

PS. Somehow, my blog was also referred to by a Facebook group entitled "Sexcellent". Well isn't that sexciting?
