So my wkw friends on exchange in China sent me a letter!!!! So happy and delighted. AND THE PERSON WHO SENT ME THE PARCEL IS THE LOVELIEST TAN YUAN YUN!!!!!
AHHHH Snail Mail Wins All.
Receiving mail is like the best feeling in the world. It doesn't have to do anything you know. It's completely lifeless, a parcel or a letter but reading anything and everything that's inside BRINGS IT TO LIFE. And brings ME to life. Goodness. It's the most splendid thing ever to receive mail, especially when it's early in the morning. Kicks start your morning. And I'd always tell myself to keep my itchy hands off till evening so I can be a freak and lock myself up in the room and read all the letters to myself in my cave. Tee hee.
Thank you yuanyunnn, it was so thoughtful of you to send me heat packs over! I know how costly it can be to send parcels mannn so thanks : ) Can't wait to get back and yak yak yak again. As usual. With Yijie too!
Anyway, I need to remind myself to check prices to Brisbane... coz I think it's pretty much CONFIRMED THAT I'LL BE HEADING TO AUSSIE TO VISIT YOU, VIVIEN. Reunite man. Even my dad's supportive of me going to visit you. Hahha. Jiaqi's always not sure when she can go there!! It'd be nice if all 3 of us can be there at the same time. For now, it doesn't seem like it. Damn.
Side track again,
these are some of the snacks I'll miss when I go back to SG
VEGE CHIPS!!!! F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're the best chips EVER!!!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why VEGE chips coz well, if they're tryna make chips sound any healthier, I don't think they're doing a good job coz everyone knows all chips are unhealthy. But I guess, we can psycho ourselves to think they are a whole lot better.
Nevertheless, THEY ARE AWESOME!!! I've been eating so much of this coz I know I won't be able to find one over the counter so easily at NTUC or smth. Or maybe I just don't know. But they're like the Thai kind of chips? Really light... OH OH something like koropok, yet softer and lighter? I dunno if you guys have eaten it before but truly.. the best chips ever if you've gotten sick of the conventional potato chips. These are awesome to snack on! Luvvit.
They come in 3 flavours (sour cream, BBQ and chicken) and I've eaten and loved them all. Like how a mother's supposed to. I flew a packet over to my bro for him to taste tahah.
I'll also miss,
THE ICE CREAMMMM
Argh so bloody awesome. They're huge. Like Magnum but the difference between the ones they have here and back home are that.. their ice cream have bits of SHIT in them. Even their Magnum range has a whole lot of variety. Like it could be cookies, brownies, hokey pokey (biscuits), OR SOMETHING CRUNCHY IN THEM. And it adds so much more texture into the ice cream. Nabeh I feel like swearing coz I loveeeee ice cream so much.
Not just these stick ice creams but cone ice cream that are sold here. Here, you can get one scoop for 4 bucks. And 3 scoops for 10 bucks. To my European friends, that's ex. To me, I see it as cheap!!! Coz in Singapore, one scoop can be like freakin 7 or 8 dollars. The good ones. Whereas here... hallelujah. I'm in heaven brothers and sisters. Join me. Unfortunately you can't. So too bad and suck on your toe.
Ahhh...
And yes, I indulged in these 2 things today. Felt so good, albeit sinful but hey, I'm telling myself, eat everything you want here when you can coz when you go back... Poof, no more.
So I have to say, I'm not really missing Singapore food coz I'm tryna enjoy every last bit of NZ stuff before I go back.
Oh, AND their PIES are freakin awesome as well. Steak and cheese/mushroom omg f your mother. I dunno why but describing the taste of awesome food stuff makes me so vulgar. Oh maybe it just shows my lack of vocabulary and how inarticulate I can become when I'm talking about food oh glorious food.
I've been trying to get down to doing my NZ history assignment but RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT, AT THIS VERY SECOND HERE I AM,
Bidding for this dress HAHAHA
(explains the title of this post too)
It's a website where people trade stuff. Only in NZ. And for NZers. I believe it's reliable coz everyone in NZ uses it.
This snapshot 30 mins ago shows that I'm leading in my bid. But right now, someone has overtaken me and I need to place the dress at $14. With mailing costs, it'll be $17.50. I'm not gonna go anywhere higher than 20 bucks.
I started to think it looks kinda Indian. Like Punjabi. BUT F IT. IT'S VINTAGE. And the colour looks INSANE! And that's what I like. I've always liked Indian too hahahahaha. So I'm gnna go ahead and bid for it. 15 mins to the closure of the auction. Wish me luck. I'll come back to tell you if I've won this splendid darling of a dress.
[edit]
FOOO YEAHHH I WONnnn.
As you can see, it was a hard-fought battle between firstconcubine and this whoever saige-rogue person. Auction closed at 9.15pm so it was up till the last few minutes. You can't cheat by bidding at the last few seconds coz the auction will auto-extend. Not so stupid system. Can't believe it can be so exciting just bidding for something whooo! Refresh refresh like ganchiong spidah.
Now I just have to pay and be ready to receive my dress ;D ANOTHER parcel.
