Ok. I'll have to take a break from life in general the next couple of months to finish up my writing. Well.. obviously being the sort of procrastinator that I am, not every day will be 100% productive, but I will try my best. I've recently discovered that Spinelli's at the Uni hall is very conducive to work, primarily becaue I have no wifi or internet connection there. It is true. The 'net is a huge distraction. I've found myself surfing aimlessly, window shopping on Ebay, commiserating with other grad students around the world in the PhD forums. I can't seem to pull the plug. Until I get in the zone, I will just have to park my butt at Spin's ( I get my 10th free cup of coffee on Monday! Yay!)I've been thinking of life post NUS too. Where I can go, what I can do. Should I stay in academia or move on to the Dark Side? While nothing is definite yet, there are certainly some ideas in the air. I might not be in Singapore next year. Who knows. Anyway, all these 'ideas' are moot if I don't graduate, so that will be my priority now.
So. I guess I'll see you guys in Oct/Nov (unless you work in the same department, in which case please check on me periodically just to make sure I'm still sane).

[btw, how you manage to get 10 free cups of coffee from Spinelli's?]
its my tenth cup.. and its free! on account on my good relationship with the barrista.
I just see them more than my finances should allow.
As for plans.. still under wraps. Not talking about it till things are confirmed. Time to learn another language..
Told you so. With your smile you can steal half the world and convince people to give you the other half.
Tried out your work style: Yah, turns out I work better without the 'net too.
