I adore my new blog skin. It's black. It's simple. It spells ELEGANCE and SOPHISTICATED.

So anyway, I found this really neat article as I was scouring through a magazine a few days ago (yes, I still do have time for mags, please).

Snazzy ways to say NO to Global Warming
1) Take shorter showers
WE girls take long showers cos unlike the guys, on top of just cleaning ourselves, there's also exfoliating our skin, shaving our legs and cleansing our face ... in fact, washing our hair is in itself a ritual! But showers account for two-thirds of all water heating costs. By simply taking shorter showers, you can save more than 150kg of carbon dioxide and shave off an impressive amount from you water and electricity bills per year. And as it turns out, one of the easiest ways to shorten your shower is by timing your bathing ritual to one of your favourite songs. Try it out, and you can save loads of money, and channel them towards other "guilty pleasures."

2) Take a look at your makeup pouch
THE many environmental side effects of buying a beauty product are things people seldom think about when buying a cleanser. But the next time you are browsing at a cosmetics counter obsessing about your eyebags or oily skin, rainforests might very well be bulldozed off. Well-armed with a little information and a bit of conviction, you can do your part to protect the environment without resorting to strange and weird beauty regimes or relinquishing beauty products entirely.

So, I guess that's it then. There's actually more ways, in general, but they do not seem to appeal too much to me, much less the entire ladies population. Hurhur.

On a separate note, 2 more weeks to end of school officially! Those peeps are really smart, they had the J2 Farewell Assembly on the 12th of October, and schedule the Lit mock exam after Farewell Assembly. Like, why us?! Why not the Physics students?! It's not fair. It's like saying, "Oh, I let you go officially, but I still need you to do this 3 hour paper before you leave, then I can let you go." No fair!

Mock exams are starting next week. It's a full paper for all subjects. Man, I really do need to pull up my socks, though I think that I am about done with everything, just that I need to tie up loose bits here and there.

A levels are coming up on the 31st of October. I don't know why, but I really can't wait to face the A's! Hurhur. Weird.

In any case, I shall be cutting down on the number of posts per week, but definitely not on a hiatus. I'll update when more interesting stuff crops up, no?
