just finished a book by manfredi. its titled Pharaoh and is a culmination of 2 of my very favouritest things - Egyptology and archeology with a dash of mystery. very satisfying read. i took my time with this book; usually i'll just sit down and finish reading the book in practically one sitting, but i had a lot of things to do. i got the book on sunday, but read the bulk of it today. anyhow, the past week has been a swirl of events. 

school started on monday.

gave andrew a little present on tuesday.

went to Ikea on wednesday (and bought 14 kraft boxes, so as you've probably guessed, more packing ensued).

went out shopping with the girls on thursday (bought a dress, shoes and some other stuff!)

had dinner out with andrew on friday at new york new york.

cg day was at my place on sat (we cooked curry and played the new credit card monopoly!)

sunday sherwin and i made a recipe file for him to copy down recipes (i quite like that he's expressing an interest in baking!), mom's colleague dropped by with a huge box of yummy pineapple tarts that she makes every year for cny and i bought the manfredi book (and realised i needed a bookmark so made one rather quickly but i like it! mini doily and woodgrain contact sheet!)

monday (yesterday) i did some major organising for my school notes for this sem (printed out the lot of readings from the ecms, labelled, sorted, filed them)

and today, i finally remembered to take my vits! and for some weird reason i scratched my burn wound while sleeping last night, so i had to put antiseptic. and in an effort to try and remind myself to be crafty and took a picture of my new colour pencils (crayons+watercolour+coloured pencil = 3 in 1) that i got from seoul. i haven't tried them out yet. they're pretty pricey but the colour is so luscious! so yea. will definitely try it soon.

hmm. what else...i wanted to bake cookies and the chocolate cornflakes for cny, but mom said she already bought cny stuff to give. so might just make a small batch of chocolate cornflakes for andrew and grandma instead.

ahwells! 

okay. going to go grocery shopping now. 

ttfn!
