			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So a bunch of stuff happened over the last two weeks.</p>
<ol>
<li>I went to <a href="http://thesims3.ea.com.sg/">The Sims™ 3 Launch Party</a> and got the <a href="http://thesims3.ea.com.sg/preorder.php">pre-order card</a> for the <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/game/collector">Collector&#8217;s Edition</a>!</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Saga-Collection-Stephenie-Meyer/dp/0316031844">Twilight Saga Collection</a> that <a href="http://www.snikks.co.uk/">Will</a> bought for me as a Christmas present, finally arrived.</li>
<li>I finally got my <a href="http://www.apple.com/sg/macbookpro/">MacBook Pro</a> 15&#8243;. I&#8217;ve been pondering about it for about&#8230; forever!</li>
<li>My 6 months probation at work is over and I got confirmed. :D</li>
</ol>
<p>Those are the highlights so far. Work&#8217;s been pretty stressful over the past week too. I guess the highlights are supposed to make up for the stress? I don&#8217;t know, haha. Only thing I do know, is that I can&#8217;t wait to collect my <abbr class="uttInitialism" title="MacBook Pro">MBP</abbr>. I had to pre-order, because <a href="http://pacificcity.com.sg/">Pacific City</a>&#8216;s booth at <a href="http://www.thepcshow.com.sg/">The PC Show</a> ran out of stock. I got tired of waiting, and ended up calling them two days ago. Apparently, the stock will only arrive either this weekend or next week. :/ Man, I hate waiting.</p>
<p>Other than that, both my hosting and domain name got auto-renewed. I only paid for the hosting this time though, since I won money from <a href="http://www.namecheap.com/">Namecheap</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://www.namecheap.com/contest/holiday-trivia-2008.asp">Christmas Twitter contest</a>. xD I wasn&#8217;t exactly planning on renewing, since I barely use any of my blogs anymore, but who knows&#8230; Maybe over the next year, I&#8217;d do something about this, haha.</p>
<p>On yet another note, Father&#8217;s Day is this Sunday. Since it&#8217;s going to be overcrowded as usual, the family&#8217;s celebrating it tomorrow night, after I get off work. Hopefully I won&#8217;t be too damn tired to be cheerful. I sure hate deadlines too. &gt;&lt;</p>
<p><strong>[Update (20 Jun 09, 9.09pm):</strong> So my mother decided to, without my knowledge, call Pacific City this morning. Stock will most probably get there by Tuesday. That's without having it sent the outlet near work. -_- Darn it. I was already planning to take time off work on Thursday and Friday. It would be annoying if they called me to collect on those days. Hope not, fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Dinner with the parents went good too. Didn't eat a lot since I wasn't exactly hungry. Walked around <a href="http://www.isetan.com.sg/newsletter/index.jsp?newsletter=hok">Hokkaido Fair</a> for a bit too and got some Potato Curry Buns and Salt Caramel Croissants too. Yummy!<strong>]</strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally made a new layout. I&#8217;d been procrastinating for months, and using other people&#8217;s layouts. I prefer using my own, y&#8217;know. Then again, the layout isn&#8217;t exactly done yet. Still a little more touch ups to go.</p>
<p>Anyhow, thanks everyone for the kind encouragements regarding my <a href="http://blog.eight59.net/2008/09/17/still-bumming-around/">last post</a>. :) I&#8217;m <em>still</em> trying to figure out what I really want in life. My long term goal is ultimately to move to the UK with my best friend, Reyna. However, before I do that, I need to get enough money. If I were to go for a degree, that would mean I&#8217;d take even longer to get enough money. Even so, I have no idea what sort of a degree I&#8217;d go for.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d love to go for a Creative Writing degree, but not only are there none here (only in English or English Literature), I read that it might not be right for everyone. I mean, not everyone gets published right after they graduate so that might be tough trying to get a steady income.</p>
<p>Gosh, so many things to think about, and not to mention, the economy is not doing as well in recent times. Sigh sigh, what am I to do?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Also, because I&#8217;m such a whore for Anberlin and loving it&#8230;<br />
