end of hols
Yupz, been some time since the last update. So im not gonna do a day by day breakdown, just the important stuff. I think im likely to slack in chicago again next winter. Its quite a nice break to do so here ....
Spent xmas at thomas' house. Had alot of polish food, like herring, bread, dumplings, fruit. Total of 15 dishes. Yup... Oh, apparantly liquor and meat are disallowed on xmas eve (but not on xmas). Had alot of fun there, met this parent, his (usually irritating, but was well-behaved this year) cousin+family, adam+mum. Lost to him in 3/3 chess games lol. Introduced him to 'drawn together' though, and its great. (http://www.networkoneaustralia.tk/)
Went downtown shopping, bought a sweater and a pair of gloves. Yea to keeping my extremities warm. Have to figure out something for my ears, but i usu listen to my ipod with clipon earphones, so something covering the ears would be weird. But in general, warm is good.
Went to the art institute twice, with hanxue, who was nice enough to tell me various stories behind the paintings. I now know enough to never be an artist lol. Will be one of those whose paintings are too ugly to look at, without any meaning behind it. Shall just have to content myself with attempting to do maths ugh.
And yes, im never gonna be a cook too. Just had 2 disasterous dishes haha... But the asian in me din want to waste food, so ate one. The other was way past gone ... Almost destroyed another pot, but am able to save it. Also tried making pineapple tarts (at least the jam lah) just in case my pineapple tarts do not safely arrive, but the jam is turning out to be just pineapples. sianz. Well, seems like baking has gone quite well (but also thats cos im just following instructions on the mix)
Yea, am able to run 10:05 for 2.4 :) (but wanting to stop at the 0.75, 1, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.4 mile mark) Am able to 'comfortably' run 10:40 (Thats 8.5 mph) Ironically this is gonna be the only IPPT station that i will pass... Oh well, shall just have to stay on in the US for long enough that my IPPT window closes permamently.
Started work. Not as fun as i hoped it would be. Oh well.
I think i shd look back on my NYR and see how many of them ive broken. Should be all of them.
