The decay of my English

It’s been three months since I graduated from the university and nearly four months since my last blog entry. In the process of writing this entry, I uncover the decay of my English writing ability… T_T

So what have I been up to of late? Well, let’s see… Passing my driving basic theory (driving lessons to begin in September), watching tons of anime (Juuni Kokki, Escaflowne etc.) and reading manga. However, the highlight of the past few months since graducation would definitely be the intensive 5-day-a-week Japanese classes that I’ve been attending. Well, I haven’t yet learnt enough grammar and vocabulary to make a decent conversation in Japanese, but I discovered yesterday at Kinokuniya that I could stumble through some simple Japanese manga (e.g. Hikaru no Go). This made me really happy.

On the one hand, I don’t feel like I’ve wasted my time doing nothing these couple of months, on the other, I feel like there’s a lot of things that I need to do that I have yet accomplished. These things include writing my resume and updating my Mythology website (I’ve been so lazy and unmotivated). I also want to get my English back to standard (this is an actual need, for me to write a decent resume), which means I need to read the books that have been lying unread in my bookshelves for months.

This weekend, I will have to spend time brushing up on my webdesign skills since I might be getting my first paid project soon (cross fingers) and my last design project was months ago (ending April: the Singapore Fashion heritage website that I made for a school project, which at this point of writing is unlinked to my main portfolio page).

Things I need/want to get (normally this would be in my wish list but I’m using my bro’s comp right now so I don’t have my website utilities with me):

1. Neil Gaiman’s upcoming Sandman graphic novel: Endless Nights
2. The Juuni Kokki dvds (only when the first arc has been completely released)
3. Rurouni Kenshin dvds (provided they are released in box sets by arc)
4. Whatever I want/need that I can’t recall at the moment ^^

Owari.
