Its that time of year, where I lovingly put ink to paper and churn out yet another Commonwealth Essay. *crushes paper and leaves it to the mercies of the bin* What really frustrates me about essay writing is that I am never able to compose a single sentence without rewriting it at least 3 times.
is this word suitable? Isn't there a bettermore appropriate word that will fit the context of the paragraph? Is this sentence even suitable? I think i suffer from writer's complex, or the inabilty to articulate a coherent sentence without much self persuasion. I want to be sophisticated yet eloquent yet comprehendable, and they don't mix. You can tell from the teachers remark on one of my essays:
Language too complex.
stops writing before his blog gets shunned ^^
holding on to you.

Merry Christmas everyone, and God's blessings too! Yes, that includes everyone at Church, the Rmun gang (kartik, mich and tanya), and just about everyone else. (: I'm really sorry about the infrequent updates, since I was either feeling unmotivated or simply was away on a holiday. I have just returned from three weeks in the UK and Ireland, which was a refreshing change from the inanity of life. We spent the first week in London proper visiting places-of-interest, stocking up on food, watching plays in antiquated theatres, and reminiscing on my father's time in London. In the second week, we packed our bags, and embarked on a driving trip through Wales and the Republic of Ireland with my Uncle and Aunt. The scenery and the food was great, much so the pub food, or the equivilant of our regular hawker fare, which consisted of a large portion of meat coupled with potatoes and steamed vegetables. The final week was spent back in London, mostly in front of the tv, watching, would you believe it, cartoons? I have a soft spot for them (:
Oh yeah, thanks to everyone at church for the christmas presents, (yours especially matthew). You made my day (:
holding on to you.
