So I'm halfway through an e-book I downloaded early this evening. I never thought I'd see the day. I've always been a printed word advocate. Even when I write my reports, I'd prefer to have my materials printed in economode on scratch papers so that I could highlight stuff and scribble unruly notes and make diagrams. I'd just make up to the environment in one way or another by refusing plastic bags when buying things and stuffing them in my tote. It's just that sometimes I have low EQ and I had to read a novel now (despite a looming case study deadline) because I plan to watch its screen adaptation when it comes out in August.

Okay, okay! The low EQ thing is not an occasional thing. Just last night, it took me three tentative trips to the freezers of Rustan's until I finally succumbed to buying a Snickers Ice Cream Bar. It was a novelty I couldn't resist especially because I needed cheering up from my 4-day flu. I like Snickers a lot and to turn it into the same Snicker's Bar only with an ice cream center just made me throw delaying self-gratification out of the window. What can I say? I am a weak individual with zero drive and no will power. And I don't care if I disgust a friend who's all too keen to prove herself to i don't know, herself or the world (these may have been her exact words). It's just that though I love her dearly, I don't see the point of working oneself so hard for the sole purpose of proving you're top-class. At one point or another you definitely will be. And then what? Maybe I am daft and a bit lazy but maybe that's just not my thing.

Yup, the ice cream did taste really goooooood.
