My two implants shall henceforth be christened Sir Bleed-a-lot and Missus Bitch-a-ton.

Considering how both of them are born trouble-makers -- especially the Missus with her ever-so-voluptuous lady lumps -- I daresay they're rather apt names, no?

4pm-6pm: Postgraduate studies talk.

Two things I felt sure of after the talk:

1. There's no way I can survive being a full-time student who's perpetually broke and needs to be self-disciplined in doing research. Heck, I can't even imagine myself being a professional academic thereafter. So no, no, and again, NO.

For someone who spends most of the day on the computer I really should be better at fiddling around with online stuff, but guess I'm not quite as adept as I thought. Hmmm. Well, it'll probably take me some time to get used to LJ (I've gotten so used to Blogspot over the last few years), but hopefully things will pick up soon.
