So I asked my dad how the shopping was along Oxford Street ...
"Mum bought u a cheap t shirt u want anything else?"
For some reason that just totally cracked me up .. if you know my mum, it's somehow just SO. HER. I think
winstontlchow and I are the only ones faithfully still wearing her Temple of the Emerald Buddha and Elephants of Thailand t shirts respectively. Although I suspect Emerald Buddha got left back in Bedok Reservoir ..
Meanwhile I potted a bunch of herb seeds from this $7.99 herb grow kit a while back .. and they are all sprouting! Thanks to
winstontlchow's enthusiastic watering. I shall post pics when they look a little less pathetic. Do you think herbs need fertilizer? (And no Andy, I refuse to use my poo.) I'm getting ridiculously housewife sometimes, like getting ridiculously excited at picking up corningware bowls at clearance. Or trying to decide what kitchen/house gadget to get next.
I'm also still very amazed at how cheap books are over here if you just look at it dollar for dollar. A good sized (brand new) fantasy novel for $7.99 and this is not counting like the discounts from the rewards programs that bookstores like Borders have. YIPPEEE!
Ok I should get back to writing my "Summary of Prior Research Accomplishments". Hah.
