oh my god your bodhisattva

hello my block leave has started! i have about one week to do all the library book browsing, baking book shopping, and recipe-testing i can.

ok, the past two weeks have been on ICCT, which was a very scary experience. but i have, as of today, passed the course, after getting knocked everywhere by jinquan =( i have also started weapon training, and will be going to live shooting on saturday despite the block leave sigh.

there were three army guys in smart 4 on the train, and they were bloody sitting down. shakes head in disappointment. and they saw and old man, and were making glances at each other to give up their seats, but no bloody one moved. omg i wanted to embarrass them by like going to one of them, smiling and saying loudly: do you mind giving up the seat to him? what the hell la, then they pulled their jockey caps lower to avoid glances from the public, as though if they can't see the world then the world can't see them.

after reaching home i went to queesway shopping centre to get my photocopying done. so tomorrow i'll return the library books, and i'll be buying bertinet's dough and crust!

2492: the number written on a piece of paper i suddenly dug out from my pants pocket while waiting at a junction today. it was the paper i wrote on to collect my duffel bag and field pack on enlistment day. it started raining as we were queuing up to write down our collection numbers, and it's only been about three months since then.

oh yes over here i tried to distinguish between cookies and biscuits, but after reading a book, i decided that i'm going to just use the american term from now on, however much i like nigella's writing. because they are still the same things, but 'biscuit', when pronounced bis-kwee instead of bis-kit, refers to a type of european sponge cake, in fact. so. ya. cookies.
