There's an intern coming from University of South California. Today I brought her to try durian. She doesn't like it! She tried durian ice-cream, real durian, and last chance: I gave her durian puff. All cannot make it. Hahaha. But she loves mangosteen though :)
ps. the cleaner aunty asked me to move out of the hawker area. I was not allowed to eat durian there.

This week time passes very fast. There was a mixture of "Oh why work has been so difficult" and some "eureka moment". It's quite embarrassing sometimes. I could run through my colleague with a big smile and say, "Wanyu!!!! I found something". I guess that's the fun thing about research. I try to enjoy finding out about this software or that software that can help our research (I was not enthusiastic about any software before I start working).

Last Sunday I finally cooked something. It was supposed to be shredded chicken with asparagus and carrot. I couldn't find asparagus, and I stir fried 300 grams of chicken rather than 200 grams. No rice, so I was sooo full of eating chicken. I sent the photo to my mom and my mom said, "I was wondering what's that. Yaikss so big! You should have cut them smaller!"

Last Sunday I met up with Pheara and Evi at "You & Mee", an Indonesian-Chinese style of noodle stall. Not only the taste is Indonesian-Chinese noodle taste, the atmosphere is also very Indonesian (the wooden bench, sauce on the table, tissue on the table, and Indonesian songs as background music). And of course..with Teh Botol!!

It's been very difficult to wake up early in the morning. (That's why Pilar said, it's called "heroic minute"). It used to be easy when work was not so difficult, but when I really stared at computer the whole day or out at the kindergarten the whole day, waking up early the next day is really tough. However, somehow I always feel very fresh when I go to morning Mass instead of evening Mass. It's like...you start the day with the right thing, to see God first :) and He granted me this on Tuesday morning:
Can you see how beautiful the sun is?

Next week me and my colleagues are going to attend an international conference on bilingualism. It'll be my first time attending an academic conference. I looked at the schedule and I was so confused. Hahaha. There will be so many sessions, but I'm particularly interested in attending my boss's friend who will lead one of the discussion session on bilingualism and executive functioning. It'll also be very exciting to see the project that my colleague has been working on will be presented int his conference :) cool! But I heard conference is tiring though.

It's Great Singapore Sale (GSS) season. I'm not a shopaholic (in fact, I have difficulties to force myself to shop!). I really need to plan my shopping because I don't really have going out shoes now, and I need 1 or 2 more working pants I guess. Slowly investing in working attire. Hehehe. There's something wrong with either my foot or the way I walk (or the shoes!!) that makes my shoes worn out quite fast.
