Yes I wish to stress on the failing. I woke up 4 hrs later. Bummer, no free coffee for me!
Anyhoooooo, just as I was about to leave the house (the grill door was already wide ajar)... the postman came with a package!!!
Whooppeee!!! A present? For me? *obviously, the season's bug has bitten me*
It's kinda huge huh?And it's from The Ex (in Singapore)...
Short note on the aforementioned-ex: Great guy, hyper-altruistic (seriously, he's a borderline martyr) and we dated for about 4 years (dog years, that is!). The lovestory was far from a fairytale and was fukking complicated; too much drama,
Cutting a short story into an even briefer one, we finally decided that we would scrap the romantic part and remain platonic. And for the record, we are more successful at being close friends.
He is one of the 2 ex(s) who are still on talking terms with me and does not actually pray for me to burn in eternal inferno. That's another plus-point.
Oh, did I mention his family operates a uber-huge company in the Lion City?
We last spoke like 3-4 days ago and he didn't mention anything at all, so yeah, this came as a total surprise no doubt! His signature Christmas Care Package!
And I blame him for my affinity to bakkwa. We used to always talk about these dried grilled? slices of pork (and could be very well Singapore's best EXport to the outside world, excluding Stefanie Sun or that Tammy video thingamajig few years back). Not forgetting that we always fight about where the best bakkwa comes from? Penang or Singapore?
So in line with our neverending debate on the issue, he sent over air-tight bite-sized tidbit bakkwa. I wonder if they sell this in the Bee Cheng Hiang branches around Malaysia already?Okay D! Singapore bakkwa is more progressive!!!
Being a total photography affecionado, he included some of his 'masterpieces' in the package too. SHOW OFF! Haha... Ahhh, how I miss the Esplanade and Kallang River! =(
Ooo, there are two t-shirts too!!! Yeah, these are like all he got me from his various travels around the globe. Whatever happened to local handicrafts? LOL not complaining, a gift is a gift is a gift.
I honestly don't have a clue what this is... a name card designed for me? LOL if only I could call him and question him down to the core, but no, this guy has to go like, skiing in Siberia for the winter holidays!
Oh yes, I have to thank him as well. Haha!
As I digress, I would like to include what has kept me sane and NOT emo, what with the over-the-top stress levels.
The reason why my drives home from KL to Penang takes 7 hours! LOL... detours to the Indulgence Restaurant and Boutique Hotel (which I can never afford).
Fudge on Fudge and The Ultimate Fudge with cream and fresh strawberries!
Fudge on Fudge, served warm... simply irresistible!Many thanks to the Diva
Alrighty then. Back to mugging like a crazed student...
*cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail! cannot fail!*
Happy Mid-Week everybody! =)

I'm not in talking terms with my ex, since he was the one who broke up with me. But I can't figure out why he still keeps my friendster in his friends list. Kinda miss him so much.
Christmas care packages! How delightful!
Oh btw we knows the lecturers are now in a new building and they have no rooms any more, we wonders as Mr David used to have some sort of makeshift postbox (or tells students to slide their assignments under his door) and what happens now...
