Right so NO I have not died, just that Cambridge + Philippines + PROMOS took my life away for a while but now that it is all over I am back & LEARNING TO MAKE BENTO. Case in point:
The Japanese make all these incredible molds that make life v v v easy even for one as domestically uninclined as I! *happy squirm* Managed to make everything into flower-shape from my hardboiled egg to my fried egg to my onigiri to my carrots, then filled up all the spaces with cherry tomatoes and broccoli yay.
CAMBRIDGE IS REALLY GORGEOUS & I miss it so much! And Mayon was SMOKIN'. Quite literally. Both places were lovely in their own way & THE FOOD WAS GREAT. It was so amazing in the Philippines cos we got a police escort and all everywhere! && we got to stay in UPNISMED and gawk at their museum of geology and peruse the geology library books :D And play around with the rock specimens. (Serpentine! Muscovite! Biotite! Slate! Conglomerate! etc, etc) ++ the Singapore shirts were awesome they said WE ARE VERY GNEISS at the back (Gneiss is pronounced 'Nice', see) so that helped us Make Friends.
OKAY IMMA SLEEP NOW I HAVE TO WAKE UP TO MAKE MORE BENTO TOMORROW :D
