Hey.
Just returned from a rather tiring day. Details later. Tried to edit this skin to make the pic smaller and with less gap at the LHS, but when I reuploaded the edited image on Photobucket and transferred it onto the blogskin, it didn't work. The screwed blogskin may be viewed on
http://www.grace-is-testing.blogspot.com/. However, by the time you view it, it may have been replaced by another tester blogskin. You see, I always upload my blogskins on that blog first to test it out (as the URL might have told you).
Tag Replies---John: Thanks.
Fiona: Aw :/ Really? Haha, since I just arrived last-last night it's still too early to determine when I will fly back, isn't it? ;D But I promise to visit AMAP AND ASAP! For definition of AMAP please go to Ching Ying's blog. LOL!
---Note to SelfMust relink Sarah at

Updates! as promised.Well, arrived on Sunday night after a very ... big send-off. THANKS Jun Hui, Sarah, Hannah, Ching Ying, Nicolette, Neil, Mildred, Kate-Lyn and Su-Lyn, Clara and Josh and Natalie and Auntie Marina for coming with their respective families (well most did). I appreciate it a lot! :DD It was very nice seeing everyone come. Nice and heartwarming. ;D
Then we realised that the gates were closing and rushed in. Well, at any rate it was better than arriving early at the gates because we could just board the plane straight away, LOL. Listened to music while reading and then arrived in BKK in one piece ;X
The next day (Monday) our maid Oi arrived. She's really nice and bears a very strange resemblance to Michelle Ahyi. ;DD Well yeah. My mum and I walked out to Robinson's to do some grocery shopping (and bought a nice Fila pair of skorts which were going at 50% off :X) and then returned home. After dinner we stayed up lounging on the sofa reading away. I read
Exodus (I've a good mind to e-mail Miss Teng and encourage her to read it; Exodus by Julie Bertagna is a very futuristic and yet believable novel that might spur us on in our LA SW SIA ;D) and my mum read
The Choice.
I want to read
The Choice! LOL. I've read about six or seven chapters at most and my mother stayed up much more than I did to finish the whole book. She says there are some *ahem* adult content at the back part so I told her to mark them out and I would skip those pages. Unfortunately she says there's some stuff that happens that affects the plot. So the fate of my perusal of that addictive book lies in the custody of my mother who seems to want to take her time deciding it. :/ I wanna read it! Nicholas Sparks is a literary genius: not too cheem, not too easy.
As the cheesy saying goes, "Juuuuust right!"
Shoot me.
Today we left the house at 9+ to meet Auntie Sharon (we were running late) for the tailor's, and then when we'd walked halfway out of the Soi my mother remembered that she'd left her handphone in the apartment so we had to walk back. Then we walked out to Nana station and took to Siam where we met Auntie Sharon at Siam Paragon, seriously late. -.- Ah well. The dress at the tailor's is chao nice, man! The tailor even sewed a matching pouch, isn't that nice :D
Then my mother and I went to MBK to .. look for furniture. Ah well. Then when I was like dying from exhaustion and tiredness of looking at table after table after desk after chair after bookcase after goodness-know's-what, my mother obliged to let me SHOP! Waha. So bought two pairs of cargo pants. The shopkeeper must've scammed us. The price -even when bargained down- was ridiculously high. But we managed to knock off quite a bit. Phew.
:D
Ate at this Shanghai Dim Sum place -still damn full from all that food maaaan- and then took BTS home.
The journey home was damn hectic.
Note to SelfNever, ever, ever, attempt to take a cab from Robinson's back home any time from 2.00 to 4.30. Because that's when school dismisses and the one-lane, two-way roads become one-lane, one-way roads and we can't get home.
I must walk to the opening of the Soi and hail a cab from there.
I must NOT forget.
:/
And then the second taxi driver we took demanded 40 Baht (that's like 2 Singapore dollars I think) for a distance which is about NY Boarding School entrance to NY Canteen (around there, I think), which he covered in about ... twenty seconds. -.-
Argh.
All-in-all, our journey home was an 80+ Baht lesson.
SIGH.
YOU MUST VISIT, ALL YOU PEOPLE.OR EYE KEEL EU. ;DDDY Gracey!
