naruto is distracting

The only thing that is of major distraction other than Facebook, checking my email every 5 mins, youtube, MSN messenger is Naruto. Those damn anime people sure are cunning, putting the really exciting bits at the end and making you double click on the next episode since you can't wait to find out what happens next and since you have the luxury of having all 50 episodes at your finger-tips.

I shall stop watching Naruto till my 2nd mid-terms are over....promise!

fall break is too short

tall buildings....such a rare sight
subways are such great things!

food tastes good even on newspaper

does it get better than this?

yes it does!

and there's more!

The best thing about Boston is that it isn’t Middletown. From taking the subway to walking down bustling streets to having more than one street of shops are things which we are bereft of in this ‘middle of no where’. The second best thing about Boston is the food, more specifically, Asian food which actually tastes like Asian food - dim sum, durian shakes, sambal kangkong, wonton mee and nasi lemak amongst other things. But I suppose if I lived in Boston I’d be a lot poorer and a lot more distracted, so I guess that’s the only kudos to Middletown.

jogjakarta

I was looking around for this song after hearing it being sung by my indonesian friend and found it on youtube. It sure brings back memories of the children jumping about on the dirt floor, laughing and singing in Jogjakarta. The little P.A device we brought along created such a great hurrah as the voices filled the air with lyrics completely alien to my ears but which now take me back to the tropical heat, the rubble and the little smiling faces.

everyone's a little racist sometimes

Apparently that's me.

Dear American parents, what the hell are you feeding your children?

dinner with uncle freeman

The food wasn't spectacular but it was fun. It seems the whole point of the dinner is really the performance/presentation by the freshman and senior class which was quite a pain to prepare for, with all the squabbling and tai chi going on but I guess it turned out fine, thankfully. Right, so now I can be a spectator for the next 2 years before the next performance.

We are Singapore, Singaporeans

Imported fatigues work like a charm with the girls.
