Around the bend

Lack of activity in October due to finals... exams, assignments, lots of practices and writing and worrying~

But! It's almost all over~ tonight shall be a tiny post about these:

From Weeks 29-???

I actually forgot about them... they were from the Brisbane markets when I was there for the AMTA conference. I bought a packet of strawberry and a packet of cherry coated in dark chocolate with plans to give them away.

The strawberry packet only had 4 inside.

And I forgot all about them. When I dug them out from the floor of my room (currently strewed with papers, books, folders and sheet music), they didn't look that great anymore due to those few days of 30+ degrees hot weather, so... since they don't look presentable as gifts anymore, they automatically became my comfort food.

I expected these to taste funny... not to find fault in dark chocolate, but frozen-dried strawberries? Gotta say though, I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. If I ever find them around Sydney, I'll get my friends a packet each =) Or, if you find them, tell me where I can get some too~

More excuses!

Probably will not be properly blogging for the next month or so, until I get all these assignments over and done with. Final semester PHWAITING!

But first, I gotta show off my new toy. Well, not toy, more like... new... tool...

Day 4: Origins of Stanley '95

Just kidding. I realised I didn't actually take any photos or do any sightseeing on day 4 because it was a full day conference. Was also dead tired that night after the conference, so it was practically back to apartment and sleep. Or attempt to do work, I forgot which.

So I thought I'd go back to Hong Kong and finally write up how Stanley got his name, since February =)

This is the very first photo I took with Stanley. Not sure if I bothered very much with whiteness correction or cropping, this is from February... now that I look at it, I'm tempted to do stuff with it...

Day 3: Rise and sleep again

My finger throbbed with pain the whole of today. I spent ages inspecting it to see if it had any cuts or bruises or something that caused its pain, but found nothing.

Then I remembered. I burnt it against the frying pan this morning while frying an egg for my bacon and egg sandwich breakfast.

Anyway! On to Day 3, perhaps one of the more interesting days, but oh-so-tiring.

Decided, who needs more than 3 hours of sleep, and got up at the insane hour of 4am. No, scratch that, make it 3:30am.

Day 2: Brisbane

Day 2 started with breakfast~! Checked out of apartment and left luggage behind. Walked around nearby and found a rather populated cafe, decided it's safe to try, and it turned out to be really good.

Really liked how they used naan bread rather than toasts, and I absolutely loved the olive oil salsa.
