sesquipedalian . {adjective formal} characterized by long words; long-winded.


Partly inspired by Yuan's blog, I've decided to revive this blog, but keep it private. I've always admired people who write well. Not so much grandiloquent, but straightforward and sophisticated in their own way. Like Yuan, Ms. Chan and, well, quite a number of my friends. I think that's what Mlle. Fournier calls "personal style" or "personal voice".

To be honest, I have yet to find a difference between this blog (which is, currently, private) and my diary, but I just had the sudden urge to do this despite having quite a bit of university and scholarship essays to craft. The yellow post-it note listing all my undone essays seems particularly glaring on my wall but I'm just gonna ignore it for now.

I shall leave this post as it is for now, while I try to find meaning in this blog. I'll be back, soon!

(on a sidenote, I do recall being sufficiently proficient at handling HTML to edit my blogskin, but all the codes seem kind of foreign now, so I deleted everything. Age must be catching up on me; I seem to prefer everything nice and simple.)
