and to commit myself to eating all the local food i want to eat has been a disaster because i try to accomplish so much in a day that i just never feel hungry and therefore food never tastes good. also decided to be garang and went jogging 3 days in a row till my tighs hurt. haha was @ SRC gym and we are only allowed on the treadmill for 25 mins. but i had decided to run 5 click so towards the end i basically was chionging. Anyway treadmill is quite boring cos after 5 mins you get bored and you have to stretch your neck to the side to watch tv so i just don't bother. haha tired different stuff like counting the number of trophies in the trophy cabinet and all sorts of random stuff to keep myself occupied. And the day before i woke up super early so i decided to go for a run to ai tong and bought prata and teh tarik on the way back. yum :P* They should just turn the radio on cos its more fun.
anyway i went to sushi teh w mom one day and ordered shishamo. after taking this pic i decided that i didn't really have a heart to eat it (her). haha so i decided to eat her from the tail end instead so i wouldn't see her face. how underhand! :P
hamsters are so cute but so lazy. i want fish! haha but anyway pets are just nice to look at but a hassle to care for. i'll just look and play with other people's pets. speaking of which, i'm seeing dusty tomorrow! :)
nope, i did not have tequila shots. went to grandma's place (don't know why its still called her place when she's always in hospital anyway). grandaunt is v. happy that i've turned whiter. however, frowns still never fail to form when i say that i'm still playing sports. haha unfortunately for her i have already decided that by hook or by crook i'll return to london browned. and i have no idea why i look the same colour as my sis in this photo.

no cable, no mood to study, no cooking to kill time, everyone is either away or busy w some thing or another, am supposed to stay at home (to do what?), tv sucks cos amazing race has been playing the entire day. okay desperate times call for desperate measures. i shall hit the club (no not that kind of club!) to workout then go exploring on my own.
went to peach garden for lunch today w jieming, tim, QT and laura today. that was quite fun.. then came back to my place to watch bourne identity. :)
anyway, managed to force myself out for a run finally.. and i sweated like a pig after only 20 mins. but i think that also had something to do with the fact that i decided to be garang and run up the killer slope next to St Nicholas Girls'. hmm... was going to run my usual route but it has been taken over by monkeys that tried to chase me the first time i ran past.

hmm... *taps toes* what should i do tmr?
anyway, came back to find that my cable tv has been cut, so no star world (csi!), CNBC (Saturday Night Live), ESPN (basketball and baseball!), and Discovery (random interesting stuff). Yup, but my dad put new speakers in my room just that the sound comes out very weird.
hmm at this rate i won't be able to wake up to run tmr...
haha the SQ in-flight entertainment was not that great this time around so we decided to get our money's worth by asking for the more expensive drinks on the menu, like singapore sling and fruit spritzers.. haha the flight was half full so it wasn't that horrible.
anyway coming back has been quite interesting cos you start to see things differently. For one Singapore does smell very different :P, then there's the buses that are yellow and green or red and white instead of the polished red ones in london, people here do dress very simply (i'm not complaining!), and its warm and humid. i also can't remember if i tapped my card before getting off the bus. It was quite interesting when i took all my books out of my luggage and immediately moisture condensed on them. And i realised that i really spent quite a lot of money in the past. haha i went to ya kun and i realised the set that i always order was $3.70. wah quite expensive ah? (yar its only about 1.20 pounds but i can't believe i actually would spend it without thinking). Okay it will be hawker food for me for most of the days..

I had a very interesting conversation w the auntie selling wine @ DFS this afternoon.. haha. I was buying some ice wine for christmas and she was trying to get me to buy more bottles (cos i was v. kiam and bought a tiny bottle only. it was 40 sing dollars!). She was like "this one i can one person gao dim... buy 2 lah, then can share. or buy bigger bottle want?" she seemed like the closet alcoholic type. quite adorable lah.
greetings go out to all still in London (shafa, gerald, adrian etc). Enjoy the festival @ south bank & the cool christmas!

fine ignore me, i'm just being grumpy and lazy.
i shall endeavour to excercise more when i get back to sg since its warmer. hmm... feels more like i'm going on holiday than going home. hope mom hasn't gone on a fengshui rampage and decided to re-orientate all the furniture in my room. yeah i think the last time it was because i was sleeping directly one level above the stove or something that was contributing to "a bad temper". okay....
went to the natural history museum today! was quite fun except that it was packed and there were tons of kids running around and they're so short you can't see them even though they're in your way. argh. maybe they should all wear tall hats so at least i can see them while they scamper around me. argh. and i am convinced strollers are secret weapons for adults to force their way through crowds and stab the ankles of people who refuse to give way. also didn't have enough energy to finish seeing the entire place. i realised that i had seen the museum before in documentaries on tv. haha.
okay i shall stop being grumpy
