For once, I can say that I'm bored of sitting in front of the computer!

But it has been a couple of weeks since I have had plenty of time to do that.

All the time I want to sh*t, sleep, eat, read. All the verbs that have one syllable, and soft consonants.

Consonant. I knew I don't forget words I've learnt before that easily. Someway or other, words always find their way back to me.

Well, obviously I left out a very large part of my activity right now. Which is, Watch TV.

I'm sure it doesn't sound like much.

But I'm pretty determined to make whatever I'm thinking about everyday come to some sort of good use.

Even if they only result in words and more words. All but words.

Today, I realized a little something.

That I click to read news on the TNP faster than I would to any article found on Straits Times.

Does my interest generally lead me to articles on TNP?

That doesn't mean that I'm the TNP's regular reader, but perhaps I like to read about the little details.

Perhaps I feel less connected with big worldwide news stories which I don't feel immersed in, because that is not the immediate environment I am in?

Then perhaps today I have learnt that I would prefer to research on local stories than on international ones.
