Many firsts.

first spring. first sighting of ants. there are actually ants in this country! amazing... since coming i thought that the 28457562319306 species of insects in the world lived in tropical sweat filled countries like singapore.

spring is awesome. in fact on friday the weather was so freakishly warm that me and my seniors were frolicking in the sch field wearing t shirt and fbts. now now i know that however freakishly warm the weather gets here it will never be the sauna that is singapore. but still. a day of sun... possibly the happiest day of the year. we were literally doing cartwheels (not very glam ones) on the field.

and today i have found where the satay stall i normally get my bangkok satay is! it has moved from outside the sunday upmarket to inside! hurray! i now know where it is. and i will continue to waste my money there every time i go which thankfully is not very often:)

and today i also went to the columbia flower market for the first time. and i'm proud to say that i did not buy anything. mostly cos i have run out of space on the kitchen sill to put the plants. i have literally colonized the sill with my plants and if next year i can get a house with access to a small plot of garden i will be so extremely happy. or a small balcony. or just a heck lot of sun. sigh.

ok its ridiculous to think about gardening in this land where i won't be around all times of the year, but there is this culture of gardening since spring is here. and its insane. its everywhere i go, u see new gardening equip, seeds, bulbs, shoots, flowers, and everyone is getting ready to work in their gardens. *happy sigh*

also i baked bread from scratch yesterday. its super easy.... and tastes rather decent:) now that i know the basic recipe works i am gonna make so much ridiculous flavours when shuhan gets back muahaha.

and lisa's mother made mee hoon kuay today which is one of my favourite singapore foods hahaha amongst the phadthai, satay beehoon, orhlua, carrotcake, TAU HUEY, . awesome:D

its an awesome easter. its actually all i imagined it would be.

my dream easter is one where i will have time to stone and watch the world go by. check.

will finish my essay much in advance and not have to chiong through it. more or less check

will have time to cook all the things i wanted to but never had the time. not really check yet but at least i don't feel guilty using time to cook:)

and i can hopefully be free to get out and move. go somewhere. anywhere. see london or whatever. check.

read some books. hahaha i din define this quantitatively but hey i'm not letting myself become illiterate so i will tick this. check.

i couldn't ask for more.

i also have been sinfully eating horlicks powder cos iceland was having offer on them. this is terrible. i think i eat the equivalent of 2 to 3 cups of horlicks everyday. so instead i will channel my horlicks powder to the greater good. my sis gave me this newspaper article she cut out about how to make horlicks doggie cookies. i still have it in the recipe book i brought over. but this blog's photos are so much nicer. its the same recipe though. now all i need is a kitchen scale....

or some kind soul with a kitchen scale to convert this to cups and spoons for me. hint.
