I need Mary

Seriously...without classes, I am a lost sheep

Let's see what I did today:

Watched more "House" (I am finishing season 1 soon).

Made syrup for the grass jelly I got for my birthday. Taste good. Reminds me of home although the weather now ain't so suitable. I am doing a bit more cooking because I bought some new pots from Ikea yesterday. Cost me GBP5.99 for 3 pots. Love it.

Met my professor to discuss about my dissertation proposal. He was ok with it but cautioned that theoretical approach is gonna be more difficult than empirical. I know it's gonna be a tough one to write after reading just two papers but no pain no gain. If I do fail, then fine. At least I have tried. Next step is to convince the professor I want to be my supervisor. Time is running out...

Went to pick up my online book orders from the post room. So excited bout it although these aren't fictional books. I think it's because I shopped and I am finally getting my goods, not so much bout being able to start studying.

Got a belated birthday gift! Environmental Protection Cutlery Set...all the way from Taiwan. What's is that? It's a pair of chopstick and a spoon. According to my friend, it's a common thing to have in Taiwan. As part of the government's effort to promote environment preservation, the people are encouraged to carry their own utensil set to restaurants including lunch boxes. Customers who do so will get 10% off their meals. Disposal chopsticks are being phased out (not sure if there's still any available now). Plastic bags are no longer available in supermarkets. In UK, the supermarkets are also encouraging their customers to use environment-friendly bags. Good for them. Perhaps, Malaysia will follow suit soon.
