April 20 Anyeong! Will be looking forward to the sun in the London I will be going to London this week for 5 day with HJ and BH. Looking forward to watching Wicked and just taking in some sights. Will be away from 21 - 25th. Coming back to a goodbye party held by the TESOL team - 28th. Halfway there! I went to the optician to do a check up on my eyesight. Have been squinting at signboards in my glasses so i kinda have this uneasy feeling that my eyesight is undergoing some stress. And ‘aye‘ for confirmation. Left slight increase of 0.5 whereas the right a major increase of 1.25. So did order a new pair of glasses. *sigh* Age is slowly creeping up on me. of pooches and dogs Me and Ruth go walking every other day. The other day, we played croquet. It was the only day in the year where it was opened to public. We talked about pooches, weather, flowers and just walked. Going walking again today! Wonder what things that i might come across. d'MAC-gitizedI have been d’Mac-gitized. Chocolate Bunnies and Runny YolkEaster break was two thumbs up. Yeen came up from London. She came of Friday - hung out at three pubs and had dinner at the Malaysian restaurant. Maria came as well. Then we went home and chatted interspersed with coughs and sniffles. Saturday - I worked for the better part of the morning while Yeen snooze away. She hadn’t got her caffeine fix and she was supportive in allowing me to finish a big chunk of my assignment. We went with the Richmond 7th floor mates - Chris, Steven, Thomas, & Sze Chern. And bless the weather it was a superb sunny day. We decided to hit West Princes Street Garden to watch an Easter play. We took part in an interactive Easter play - the last supper and of course the crucification and the resurrection of Christ. The play took us to different parts of the park to see key moments leading to Christ’s crucification and his resurrection. The best part was climbing up the “poo” side of the castle. 
 I saw John Knox graveyard which has been converted into a carpark. His graveyard is still there marked by a metal plate on the ground. Learned that Edinburgh Uni graduates would be doffed on the head with a piece of John Knox’s trousers which has gone into space. Had the shivers entering Greyfairs Kirk - a violent spirit resides in that graveyard, his tomb has been sealed off to prevent further unexplainable incidents. Heard the story of how 4 patriotic Glasgow Uni students drove all the way down to Westminster to take back the Stone of Destiny and accidentally broke it in half. This Stone weighs 152 kgs or 336 lbs. Not an easy feat to glue it back to one piece. In the evening, we took a walk around Arthur Seat and headed to Edinburgh oldest inn - the sheep heid inn. Had bbq sausages, 2 ciders, one stout and 2 hot chocolate and saw perhaps the world’s oldest bowling alley.  Yeen had to leave on Monday but it wouldn’t be complete without a little shopping on Princes Street and people watching during lunch. It was interesting to see how people react to different situations and the language used to denote vexation and unhappiness towards the service. the train took Yeen back to london whereas I had to catch up on the rest of my assignment. 3rd step I have completed my diploma. Now heading to get my degree. It’s dissertation period. April 07 Ahjuuma/obasan
An aunt all over again. My sister-in-law safely delivered a healthy baby boy today. Am happy for the new dad and mum.
Hmmm…when is my eldest sister’s turn? Pulse racing
For the past two Sundays have been getting up early to catch the F1 action. Saw Sepang thru the BBC and yes I missed the thunderstorms. Amazing lightning and thunder action. Onwards to Shanghai! Ferrari is looking real bad at the moment. 2 thumbs up for BGP. 2 thumbs up and 2 big toes up for JB who drove superbly in Sepang.
Today watched House (S5E20). And it was a real twist. There was no indication whatsoever about someone’s death. Looking forward to the next 6 episodes. Something about House having a major breakdown and CTB having a cameo appearance.
Fringe is returning tomorrow. FINALLY after an intense wait on “of being a part of the pattern”. What is the pattern?
UB is getting to be a bit of a bore.
I wonder if there are any series worth watching. Teehee...something to keep mind warm down after the huge bulk of reading. Parallel to warming down after intense running.
And my hard disc is running out of space. *sigh* April 03 Trying to get creative juices flowing!
While trying to get ideas – I decided to type the beginning sentence of each song playing in WMP. Time wasting or Creative soul? Neither – just plain insane!

April is here. Flowers and squirrels are everywhere. Mr. Sun and Mr. Breeze walk hand in hand. But poor me is still canned. From too much squinting. And thinking. The days are becoming longer. Wanting to BBQ is made stronger. April is here.
