Things I discovered/realised today:

• Singapore is one of the three remaining sovereign city-states today. The other two being The Vatican City and Monaco. Well, according to Wikipedia anyways. It's still pretty amazing seeing the name 'Monaco', because only last semester was I reading about Princess Grace Kelly and her princess woes. Also not to mention that Monaco is Pierrot's country in Yakitate! Japan.
  
  
• The Princess Diaries is actually really nice to read! I thought I was off chick-lit and everything, but I really enjoyed reading the book. Well, it was the third book when she finally got together with Michael. Does this even count as chick-lit?
  
  
• There is a really nice foodcourt in Paradiz Center. That's the building near Cathay building in Dhoby Ghaut that's undergoing major renovation at the moment. It's way less crowded than most foodcourts, and the Ban Mian there is quite nice.
  
  
• Hebrew is the only language that was devoid of native speakers which became a national language with millions of first-language speakers. I always thought that they had preserved it somehow through the Jewish traditions and everything, but apparently, that isn't the case. Well, so says Wiki. ...I really should stop relying on Wikipedia for the expansion of my general knowledge, shouldn't I?
  
  
• I really detest usage of foul words (particularly the one beginning with an F) and crude sexual jokes. I mean, crude jokes are the sort of thing you find funny when you're in lower secondary and just past puberty. But by the time you hit university, shouldn't you have a more mature understanding of sex and treat the topic with respect? It's particularly disgusting hearing guys talk about it in such a crude manner, and laughing over it. I refuse to join in and laugh, and also lose my respect for whoever it is who's talking about it.
  
  Therefore: guys reading this, please have enough sensitivity not to speak of such in front of girls. It really reflects badly on you.
  
  
• Daiso has some really nice letter-writing sets.
  

Kor left this morning for his mission trip. He won't be back till the end of May. I'm really going to miss him. It was really sweet when he came in this morning just to say bye to a very sleepy me.

And I won't see EJ until after I get back from Japan. I hope it isn't as hot there as it has been here. The nights are so warm that it's so hard to sleep!
