"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable." - Sidney J. Harris

for taking JLPT

they have a questionnaire whereby they ask u a series of qns on why n how u learn japanese

but they do put anime, manga as one of e avenues of "how u learn japanese"

Me: ahem

Someone: u can learn from the circumstances tt led to the acts
rather than the acts itself

i've seen crappy stuff like to solve e ageing population problem, the country has legalised every guy to f**k every arbitrary gal he sees

Me: the fuck 1 grand prix had some nonsense about global warming


TC: can u help me write in french

in general i'm quite contented with my life. i try as much as possible to do everything in the list but some things cannot be done.
for example having a romantic life

Me: En général, je suis assez contente de ma vie. J'essaie faire toutes les choses dans la liste, autant que possible, mais il se semble qu'il soit impossible de faire quelques choses.

Par exemple, avoir une vie romantique. Personne ne m'aime, parce que je suis acerbe.

TC: -_-

wah lau dont anyhow add stuff can
HAHA

Me: I want to see if you're paying attention


MFTTW: mean starting salary for engineers is like 2.8k now leh

yeah the worst bit about being a woman - is dealing with other women

Someone else: yes

Guys are less whiny, less clingy and less dependent than the average woman. If I were born a guy, I'll probably be gay.
