Crash and burn

People who know me well will know that my perseverance is extremely limited. Which is why if I were to go on a diet, it'll never happen any longer than a day, or if I were determined to sleep at 12:00am and wake up at 8:00am to fix my jet lag, it won't happen.

And it didn't. Ended up sleeping at 3 and waking up at 11am... and I have uni starting tomorrow, which means... well, waking up at 5:30? Looks like I'll be needing to set about 10 alarm clocks, because I've developed the ultimate bad habit of switching off my alarm clock subconsciously and waking up 2 hours later in a huge panic. Don't think that will be the best way to start my final year of uni.

Last day of February! Let's get some updating going before uni work piles in and blog entries become sparse. SINGAPORE! But before that:

From Sister's trip to Sydney

Flavours: (clockwise from green) pistachio, orange, chocolate coated mint, pancake and maple syrup, caramel salt, raspberry and chocolate, rosewater. There was also Milo, which was a darker green with chocolate filling, but it wasn't defrosted when we got there.

What genius!

So we went to the Apple store yesterday and left with a million dollars cash.

Nah, I kid, but it was funny because the cash registers were actually just mac computers that look like every other one that people just walk to and start surfing the net on. Precisely what we did. The guy serving some customers on the computer next to us shot us a weird look, but did nothing to stop us. Only after we proceeded to close the register application (when we couldn't log in successfully and tried to apply for a new password), open another explorer, typed in google and news, loaded news, before someone came to tell us that it was a cash register and to surf the net on the other computers.

I could have stolen the whole register! Some genius bar indeed.

It's been a productive week of hopping from one country to the next. Managed to find my way back home, which is quite a feat considering how I've never traveled alone before. Realised security is a lot more lax too- no stopping for bomb threat checks or possession of illegal objects.

And so you're back from outer space~

Yep, from the land of Spore and HK.

From Hong Kong Trip

Just slept for 12 sweet hours straight and am downstairs looking for food to eat while uploading some photos, though not many because the majority of photos were taken with my old camera... *sigh*... that poor camera just got replaced by Stanley (95).

I finally gave in to everyone's displeasure upon seeing my old camera (the usual comments are "get a new camera!" and "wuah, that's a brick").

Stanley has the tilt-shift effect. I think I might have overused it this trip ._.

Proper update next time, back to bed for another 7 hours of sleep to fix this jet lag.

Last minute post!

This will be a short and sweet post, because it's 10:30pm and I have a flight in the morning... Yet to finish packing, but stuff it... if I missed packing anything, I'll have to live 10 days without it *clings on to the mountain of stuff toys on bed*.

So this post will be the outdated Valentine's Day post. It's been a week of good food and it continues. I have a feeling after this week, I'll be taking a break from fine dining and expensive food for months, with the satisfaction of having used my entertainment card to its worth.

So V Day was spent with Madara, while icie and tt tagged along as lightbulbs =P

At Ocean Room~

Much ado about LOTSA STUFF!

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to my dear sister and her husband, M, on a wonderful wedding. It was beautiful and sweet~ despite the slight drizzle at the start, the weather cleared and we had a cool day (for the poor guys that have to wear suits!) to enjoy the celebration.

Secondly, happy Valentine's Day :D to my dear Madara-chan (jk~). Had a wonderful day of chilling and getting embarrassed *ahem*, but here is Henrietta!

From Weeks 7-8, 2011

The makers originally made it as a boy-bear called Henry, but what boy-bear will wear a purple ribbon? It's a girl-bear now. What's so special about this bear is that you can microwave it for 2 minutes and it will explode keep warm for hours while emitting this pleasant aroma of lavender. Apparently there's a porridge flavored bear too. Thanks Shuu-chan for the present :)

Lazy....

Been slacking off lately, both with work (should technically be preparing for uni, since my course coordinator sent us a stack of readings to do at around.. hm, Christmas!!), preparing for my sister's wedding, and blog posts. Gotten rid of that fever, so it's back to food business!

From Weeks 5-8, 2011

This entry shall be the antithesis to the last post. Unhealthy food galore! Deep fried thick bread with sugar-laden jam.

CNY part 2

... is just me staying home. Woke up in excruciating pain this morning, running a fever complete with nausea and dizziness. Tried to get a replacement for work, but found none... called in anyway and took sick leave =(

Fever subsided, but man, what a dodgy way to start my new year... haven't stayed home for a whole day like this in ages. Slept a lot, tossed around a lot, watched "Tokujo Kabachi" in double time and finished it (I realised the trick to watching shows is to play them in double time. Captions still show so you just gotta read a little quicker, but instead of sitting through 40 minutes per episode, it's now 20 minutes! Not to mention, Horikita sounds a lot cuter in chipmunk voice.)

From Phone camera

Now I guess it's time for some food, though I feel sick just from looking at food right now, so something healthy....

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

*Ahem*

Lack of updates because my computer went through yet another surgery. It was quite scary, but everything should be fixed now~ I was actually hoping to have another entry up before end of January, but guess timing wasn't good. My computer fell into coma for quite a few days, while we desperately tried to retrieve its memories...

I'll have to upload new photos and update this blog after work today~ for nao, immagosleep.... ZZ..

Oh yea, happy birthday to pottie too.
