new books, girls day out and the 'BOX'
We were all clambering about this morning and my usually messy room became messier as we were packing stuff in a box to be shipped to the Philippines. In the said 'to be shipped box' were the things that we will most likely use for our 25 days long stay in the Phil (Can't wait!!!) and other things, such as clothes, shoes, vhs that we have no need anymore and will probably give out to everyone. We thought of putting some chocolates inside, but we thought better of it since the box will spend 6 weeks in who-knows-what-temperature in the cargo ship. They would just end up into some kind of gooey goodness that one can't help but think of something unpleasant instead of a chocolate. So yea, we did not pack chocolates inside. We reckon that we could just put some chocolates in our baggage when we go home--it's easier that way and they won't melt. :P
Later on in the afternoon, when my dad went off to work, we decided to go out and buy some other stuff that we could put in our box. We ended up going from shop to shop looking for sale and cheap items. We found ourselves buying toiletries and shirts and I bought some cheap new books for myself in the charity shop. Namely: Assassin's Creed Renaissance by Oliver Bowden and Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. From what I've read of the teaser at the back of the books they are fairly interesting (otherwise, I wouldn't have bought them-duh!) and I'm looking forward to spending the weekends reading them and having a pleasant day with myself.
Having spent a good few hours scouring the high street, we went to an buffet Chinese restaurant despite our tummies not shouting 'we need food', we still went. Surprisingly, I ate quite a lot... I basically had a plate full of starters, Szechuan noodles, main dish salad, Szechuan noodles, ice cream and some apple toffee *yum!*. It was a good fun and a great way of bonding with my sister and my mother so I'm a happy and full bunny today :)
I hope you guys had a fun day today as well!
jaa ne!
