A font-astic weekend

Firstly, pardon the lame-ass title. I really couldn’t think of anything else. I know. It’s pathetic. ANYHOW.

I am enjoying whatever’s left of my long weekend. Granted, it wasn’t all about having fun, but in between the (minimal) marking and chilling out with the best bunch of friends, I’m certainly well-rested enough to face a brand new week of insane deadlines and a new bunch of crazy essays to mark.

It’s been so long since I had a good rest that I almost forgot what it felt like to be this relaxed. All thanks to Labour Day, my long weekend started on a high, mostly because I don’t have to prepare lessons until the new semester begins in end June (yay!), and also, I finally got the Blackberry Bold. I probably shouldn’t be this excited over a gadget, but I have been coveting it for awhile and since StarHub recently introduced an affordable plan for individual users like myself, I was glad I didn’t have to settle for the iPhone. :)

On a completely unrelated note, Huaiky (I miss you, hun!) recently sent me this email (Thanks, by the way! Heh.) about educational tools on the web and one of them was this website that’ll easily turn my handwriting into a font. It only costs US$9.95 so, what the heck… Presenting my very own font:

The underscore and some of the symbols didn’t turn out very well but I was too lazy to edit the template. Anyway, I’m actually rather happy with the way it turned out. It’s not my best writing but it’s not too bad, yes? Oooh… Perhaps I can create a bunch of fonts and sell them online? That should help finance my shopping household expenses. But seeing as this is my first font, I shall offer it to you for free. :p Go ahead, download my font. Be sure to let me know what you think!
