all i wanted was peanut butter

i spent the day being bored out of my mind and while watching an episode of "The Nanny", i suddenly have a craving for peanut butter sandwiches.  so that's what i did at precisely 8pm today... i ventured out to find peanut butter.

i guess i could have gone to the nearest 7/11 and see if they have peanut butter, but as i've spent the whole day at home, i need fresh air.  so i went for a walk... 

after finding peanut butter about an hour later, i realized that 

1.) i'm tired

2.) i'm thirsty

3.) i'm a bit further from home than i expected

4.) i have no idea which direction to continue walking, and

5.) i forgot to bring my train ticket so i couldn't (or wouldn't) take the train back.

so... after a stop over at starbucks, i started finding my way back with the help of signs on top of high-rise buildings - because i don't remember the street names....

while wandering around the city, taking random turns at buildings that look familiar, i realized that i wasn't worried that i was lost.  in fact, i was quite thrilled.  it's a bit exciting to be lost - mind you, if i were to be lost in a deserted area i would freak, but i was lost in a city filled with skyscrapers so it was amusing.

anyway, what started out as a quick trip to get peanut butter turned out to be a very fulfilling 2 hour walk around the city.

hmmm... maybe i should get out more....

'Siam Park' is NOT in Thailand. It is actually in Tenerife, which happens to be a Spanish island.

The website mentions that "Siam Park Tenerife is the newest and most exciting water park in Europe!". It is apparently set to reflect the ancient kingdom of Thailand.

What's mine is yours and what's your's is mine... I guess.

Crying Babies and Noisy Old Ladies

I went on a Virgin Atlantic flight for the first time last friday. Luckily, the flight wasn't full so I grabbed a whole row to lie down. My plan was obviously to get some sleep, at least for a couple of hours through the 9 hours flight. But I just couldn't sleep. Why? Babies!! Ok, all I'm going to say is that I don't think kids should be on a long-haul flight unless they've learnt how to shut up.

So in the end, I stayed up watching Sex and the City movie (which I proceed to cry my eyes out... don't judge me... I was in a sentimental mood), and Made of Honor (again, crying my eyes out).

On the flight back, not only were the babies crying, there was a bunch of old ladies talking and laughing loudly throughout most the flight. GRRRRRR. But I actually got more sleep on the flight back to Sydney. I guess I was more tired than I thought.

OOH! ok... did you know that they serve 'Virgin Cola' on the flight?

What does it taste like, you ask?
It tastes similar to the normal, un-virginized cola, but fizzier and sweeter. HEHEHE

William Willett invented daylight savings time because he doesn't want to cut his golfing time short?

He made a proposal of his idea in 1907 but sadly passed away in 1914 before the bill was passed in 1916.

How old am I?

Penguin Lover

i LOVE books. i love reading. i love it even more if the authors that i follow use the same publisher.. because the front cover illustration always match... and they're so pretty when lined up together.

anyway, a few weeks ago i had 3 hours to kill waiting for SOMEONE to finish work. so i went to Dymocks to browse around and guess what i saw.......

glorious Penguin books!!! they're popular, classic titles published by Penguin. they're in their most simplest Penguin front cover style. i want them... but i also know that if i get one, i would need all... and i think its a bit much... i don't think i can finish reading all of the books because i always want more new release books, and in the end if i were to get them, the main reason would be because i want to see a replica of that bookshelf in my room
