AUSTRALIANS love coffee, chocolate and computer games, and more than two-thirds say they routinely ignore chores to do something more fun. Survey results released today found 95 per cent of Australians admitted to having an everyday addiction.

The Reader's Digest survey found just about every Australian admitted to "a harmless everyday compulsion – something we do or buy not because we have to but because we find it just too hard to resist". The survey, taken by 750 adults, was split into three categories: eating, retail therapy and time-out activities.

According to the poll, 41 per cent of Australians regularly shopped for "treats" rather than essentials, with nearly one-third keen bargain hunters.

Women were more likely than men to consider themselves shopaholics, many stating that clothes and accessories were their weaknesses. Men preferred to treat themselves to hobby items and DVDs or videos.

The survey found 67 per cent of Australians routinely ignored essential tasks in favour of "time out" activities. One-quarter watched television, another quarter would surf the internet and 29 per cent opted to playing computer or video games.

Sixty per cent of those polled said they regularly craved certain foods and drinks. Coffee topped the addiction for almost one-third of people, with chocolate a close second followed by soft drinks, chips and lollies.Only one in 10 people said they were addicted to exercise.

Talking about australia, I remembered the chat we had with mdm during pccg. we had class eating and drinking in the canteen. Love mdm. she's so easy-going and fun. Anyway, back to the topic, she was telling us about the holiday she had in sydney during our one-week break. Then someone was saying how sydney's so similar to Singapore. You should have seen mdm's eyes. She shot up, widened her eyes and went on like "BS. Sydney's so different." yeah, true, a outdoor air-con.. etc. then, we went on talking about the racism in australia, queensland to be specific cos it's known to be the most racist state. Then, we started sharing experiences, stories we've heard. So, i guess Singapore is still the best place to live in, at least we are not second-class citizens. I guess studying abroad would be a very good exposure; learning about another culture, learning to live independently, making new friends from all over the world, etc.

Hey, check out this website www.googlefight.com
quite a hilarious site. I tried out paris hilton vs britney spears. eh, the results were close, with britney winning by a bit. U can try out different words. Guess, it's for someone who's super bored online. lol.
And this is the history of the f-word
quite interesting. just take a look (: on the speaker btw

tommorow will be another week of school. But hey, I will end early next week. yes only next week. end at around 1.10 i think. That's cos we only have lectures to accomodate the 2nd intakers. I wonder when will we know our classes. Pretty sure our class will split though we might be able to keep a bulk of them. Out of 21, 5 left. Some are changing combi, some have to change classes, so... But i can't wait to see new classmates too.
