today anabel and i got 5kg heavier eating at sakae. we had the buffet as always, since we were pretty much starving. and we kept ordering plates and more plates. i think i ate like, 10 gyozas. i could see out of the corner of my eye one of the staff was staring at us with furrowed brows- she looked quite disgusted at our voracious appetite but that didn't really bother me. i was only concerned about the amount of soya sauce in the saucer. ok that makes me sound like a glutton but it was only because we were sooo hungry and all i had before that was a hot dog bun(with ketchup and bacon bits, a winning combination) and potato wedges( which are extremely unhealthy, very filling and taste positively heavenly). not much, right. anyway, today marks a first in the time i've spent in hwa chong. its the first time we've actually been given official homework! and its a 3weeks 10pages essay about nationalism, which is a topic that began on a very interesting note but one that i'm gradually beginning to lose interest in even though it has my favourite country to study BURMA in it. why i like burma? it all started when i read the book saving fish from drowning(oh the irony) by amy tan and i was intrigued by all the descriptions of burma and everything. so now it has officially become one of my favourite countries to study.

countdown to doomsday: 2 more days!!!

yesterday i was sitting on the bus when i happened to look out of the window and see this extremely amusing car sticker. it was positively hilarious. it read 'i'm not driving fast, i'm just flying low'. i tell you when i get a car, i'll fill it up with this kind of freakishly funny stickers, and make every driver laugh so hard, it'll cause lots of traffic jams around the country. i'll be notorious then!!
