I have returned

In truth. To my blog. Streamyx has been cranky so it's been a long wait to get back here.

The first few days of coming back home after a holiday are always tough. I don't feel that consciously but it seems my subconscious feels that way - I have not had an easy last few days. Part luck, part clumsiness. I managed to slice my thumb - lifted a thin flap of skin, nothing serious - opening fresh oysters for people to eat. That was sunday evening. Later that night, the car battery was dead, preventing us from going for supper :( Yesterday I went for a haircut and fell rather pathetically, skinning my shin and a spot near my wrist. Add the Streamyx downtime and you have my life.

NO it's not really been that bad! I've been having fun around my cousins from Singapore - seen almost all the family within a week. Went flute-shopping for my cousin, bugged another, ate various peoples' cooking but I don't have a huge Penang food craving. Check this time next year.

I will at some point over the next few days
  1. Clear up my IB mess
  2. Post selected photos of trips and of lunch some time back (I'm sorry Pin!)
  3. Settle passport and US visa
  4. Pick a new history course snce the prof tells me there's no space in the tutorial
  5. Write thank you notes to various people
  6. Apply for AMCHAM-MACEE scholarship in competition once more with David and Yiwen (Better the chances of an IB grad getting it :p Yah I'm not so altruistic I'm afraid)
I'm sure you noticed my hair being shorter. Anyway, who's up for the Hitchhiker's Guide the day after my bro's Bday? Not me. I'll wait for after the premiere I think.
