Free Rice for the needy

Busyness. I seem to have more time to update during the exam period than after exams. I think the word procrastination springs to mind. Sorry to those who've been pestering for an update.

In the meantime, whoever's bored and looking for something to do, check out www.freerice.com. I just started playing it, and it's a fun and addictive vocabulary game which not only tests and improves your vocab, but for every correct answer, 10 grains of rice is donated through the UN to end world hunger. It gets quite tricky above level 30, and so far i've only managed to reach level 40.


If you're still really bored check out this online store selling good quality shirts, www.threadless.com. As a bonus, there's a sale now with shirts going for only US10. The flipside to that is that this means many of the nice designs have sold out. Well, check back in the future, as even at the normal price, it's still relatively cheap, and there's a constant influx of new, cute designs, like these....

eh you should cheat! all in the name of putting an end world hunger :)

haha.. my dear, u realise that it's 20 GRAINS of rice for every correct answer (which amounts to not even a spoonful).. however much u cheat i doubt it'll put an end to world hunger.. i think the main purpose is to improve your vocab whilst at the same time contributing to needy kids.. though since ure the one with such an altruistic inclination, u can go cheat all in the name of ending world hunger.. =P hahaa

save the world, one grain of rice at a time!

Be my guest. You can be like hiro. "Save the grains of rice, save the world"! =P
