messy messy bess.

cleaning up the apartment is going abit slowly because there just so much stuff you can put in so small a space. so far we've gotten our main luggage bags unpacked and some dirty laundry in the wash, and most of the plastic bags emptied. mainly the xmas gift carton box to tackle left!

i need to buy sandpaper to finish up my desk because the planks wouldnt fit, and alex has to nail some pictures up which are taking up a lot of space on the counter.

other than that... i realised my 'oldest' (bought shortly after i moved here) has hardly grown in the 2 months+ we were away! previously i took a picture it was barely sprouting a leaf. That leaf has grown perhaps a few mm more and developed interesting colorations on it, which i have to check is normal or not. so far google says it might indicate the color of the blooms or not having enough sunlight. the latter sounds reasonable as it has been kept near the front door so the neighbour can water it easier.

a picture of alex's plant.. which come to think of it i think there was one in my childhood home too, but muuuuch bigger?then i had time to do my nails today after making food ;D
a couple of days ago i received a package. as it was too big, i got a picture of the package on a slip of paper to collect it. i was wondering who was so sweet to remember me and it turned out to be ying~~ oh i was so touched i could cry because i do miss her alot, and she packed me thoughtful things.

first was this friendship bracelet kit, which was one of the last things we did together along with siti in ying's house, while watching harry potter and getting overstuffed with a continuous supply of food from her parents and her!
we were struggling to remember how to do other designs but failed, and it never occured to check the internet. to be honest i only thought about it now too. ohhhh the embarrassment for someone living in this digital era.

cool kit, which at least has one purple colored string in it!
she also wrote me a little letter, something i miss very much since we used to write letters to each other in secondary school... despite sitting next to each other. XD the time i spent sitting next to her at the back of the class and getting into a LOAD of mischief '(and getting away with it!) is unforgettable. XD

ah, i do miss my friends in sg, and family, and the food. i'm sorry, but more often than not when people ask me if i miss sg i will say i miss the food first. HOHOHOHO

tomorrow i shall head out to buy my crafting supplies and sandpaper, and another xmas ornament box i think. off to cook some instant noodles with beef!
