I have a blog.
HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!
I found an app that lets me write crap MUCH MUCH MUCH easier than actually logging in here and write an actual entry.

Books and Bones?
Then nothing has changed :)
I still spend an obscenely amount of time on fictional love stories and indulge in geeky forensic anthropology details at other times. I've thrown all my social life out of the window. The only time I actually do interact is at work, and when I stop by to grab dinner after work!

I spent 10 hours at work, 7 hours of sleep at best, food, a little bit of gym. The remaining hours are all spent on my 2 new found loves - books (or rather, ebooks) and bones.
My real world has been replaced completely by books (not that I'm complaining).

And whilst I tried, I didn't feel the least bit of kick from anything. I fell asleep a while ago. When I startled awake after only merely 30 minutes of some awesome dream, I felt that ache, because of how mundane I felt things in my real life are right now.

For the past couple of weeks (or months?), I have been toying with the idea of getting an ebook reader. But I just couldn't do it. I hate it. I hate reading from this flat screen gadget. I love my paperbacks. I love my coarse yellow imperfect paper. I love how they fit in my hand. I love the sound of turning the pages.

I think I've got my mojo back. I've been reading like nobody's business. In the car at the traffic light (if I drive), in the bus, in the train, in the toilet, every now and then at work, at lunch, late into the night, morning. Anytime everywhere.

Continuing with Day 3. We didn't have anything planned. Max suggested Wufenpu 五分埔 because it seems to be the best shopping area for tourists and things should be dirt cheap as it's a wholesale market.
Wufenpu is around 5 minutes walk from Houshanpi 后山埤 station.
We reached Wufenpu around 10AM and none of the shops are open! So we looked for breakfast instead.

Wow. Looks like I'm on some blogging frenzy. This site has been neglected a tad lately. I'm thinking when I'm done with Taiwan, I'd love to go back writing about Italy. Because that's definitely one trip I wouldn't want to forget. I've been delaying it because there's just tooooo many things and tooooo many photos.

Hi Lovelies!
I just came back to Singapore and recuperating at home while catching up with the work emails. The trip to TSMC was planned 2 weeks before I had to fly, hardly had time to prepare and buy any warmer jackets.

Haha that's what I got in the WhatsApp. My hair is a little too long so I wanted to trim it shorter again.

It's our company's yearly blood donation drive again! I was afraid of the pain so I haven't donated before. Last year, I was pretty determined. I went down to the cafeteria alone, filled in the forms, handed in to the officer, only to be told I can't participate because I didn't bring my passport (I was only on Employment Pass at that time).
This year, I chickened out. I didn't register.

I think I'm really easily contented. A very simple meal of Roti Telur and teh tarik makes me very happy. A small cosy eat and talk with a couple of friends on Saturday night makes me very happy.
