一个工作效率还好，忙多一点就唉声叹气的同事，
在一个lunch break 之后开玩笑地问我，、
'Have you found your pineapple? i saw you're looking for pineapples in your facebook.'
我就问，她有没有在玩，
她回答说，'I have better things to do than playing games on facebook'
我猜她是在lunch time 用她的 iphone 上网时看到的
我到现在都还记得，就知道 1）我是小气的人 2）我听了有不爽
当然我知道她可能没有要讽刺我还是怎样。
但到现在每当我上fb,就会想起那句话 :X

Brekky

i would say that my fav meal of the day is breakfast.
savoury or sweet, sometimes i can't decide until i hv the menu in front of me.
a breakfast eat-out will almost certain start me off a happy day.
i feel satisfied after a good breakfast.
mayb it's the coffee, the caffeine-adrenaline effect?

i started hving more breakfast outings this year: Cafe Plum, Fraus, Le Petit Gateau, Fandango and McD of course :) on weekdays, before going to work.
even a takeaway coffee with Krispy Kreme doughnuts or takeaway pretzels from the Pretzel World can live up my weekday mornings.

i have to have some food in the mornings, whether it's at home or in a cafe or on the tram or in the office. i'm happy to wake up little earlier (or the same time as usual depending on where's the breakfast at) to go out for a nice breakfast before work, or go to the lab earlier with an empty stomach, set up my experiment and then go down to McD for my breakfast.

actually, breakfast being my fav meal might be partly due to that it is the only meal i can make myself eat-out alone.
ie i cannot have lunch or dinner by myself in a restaurant, i feel awkward for some reason. not that i've done it before, i rather grab 2 sushi rolls or even just boost juice.

love breakfast

was already in my bed, lights off
but things were still spinning in my head
turned on my bedside lamp, went out of my bed, clicked the battery onto my laptop, and brought it to my bed
here we go...


'they probably hv other groups of friends who are closer and more active
but me, eventhough i'm busy, i still like to catch up with my friends even for quick dinner or lunch
you need to eat anyhow right?!
so, i need more friends'
'no u need close friends'
'i already hv 3 bunch of close friends, who......'
(maybe i need to re-define'close friends')

'it's just how you prioritise stuff
it's all abt priority
you prioritse ur own time
u prioritise ur friends'
'come come
come uk
we blow water together
lol'
'u reminded me of another problemi hv

'and i don't like ppl where they say things but don't do'
(if you don't mean it, don't say it! unfortunately, i can remember things you think i wouldn't remember)

'that was few months ago lar she told me, or mayb last year? she hasn't mentioned to me again the last time i talk ed to her on the phone'
'i am thinking of taking her (my wai po) for your graduation!'
'ya but i don't know when is that yet'



~gd nite~

hmm... how nice if
i can hv each of my (close) friends to 'sponsor' me CDs for the singers i like.
and they don't have to get me present on my bday anymore :) even if the singer they are 'in-charge of' doesn't have an album tht year. haha!
and it's rarely tht the same singer will have more than one album in the same year. even if there are more than one a year, you can pick either one since you'll know exactly which one i have or i don't. haha!
but if that singer retires, i can 'assign' a new singer to him/her :)

Have this plan together with a friend to get a job overseas when i finish my phd. UK and Canada are our top-picks :) since it should be easier to adapt into an english-speaking country
well she'll want to go a year ahead of me since she's already working now and her contract ends end of this year.
i've been wanting to finish my phd ASAP but having this plan/vision/dream makes me want to finish even faster. and besides that, is for my grandma.

she's been saying tht she wants to see me graduate. in almost every phone conversations i had with her since i started my phd.
but in our last phone conversation, she added that she also wants to see all of us grandchildren get married. T_T and i'm her youngest grandchild. i am worried that i'm going to disappoint her.
*touchwood! she's going to be able to see that herself!

she's turning 89 this year. she's still healthy and all, but you know, anything can happen to anyone at any age, not to say she's 89.
i even had this naive thought that, so what if i don't get married soon then she'll stay on to wait for her wish which means i can keep her for longer?
T_T
