Today everything went pretty smoothly. We had to look for more stuff for bro that we couldnt get yesterday and we got them all at one place today - Walgreens! Love it! =p Everytime we walked to a bus stop to catch a bus, the bus came immediately. Good timing! =D
Anndddd...... I got my iPod!!! FINALLY!! After dreaming about it for so soo long! =DD Got an iPod touch. (For those whom I've "consulted", I decided to get the touch rather than the nano.) Really feel like buying both tho... but think i'll just stick to touch and a normal mp3 for now.. needa get that mp3 when i'm home! Lately my legs have been itching to jog.. hmm... but i refuse to jog in the neighbourhood that i'm in now. So gotta wait till i get home i guess... Maybe i should try out the gyms back home.. =p Realize that it's easier to run on a treadmill than on the ground or roads outside.. but i guess if I'm training for missions it'd be better if i train on normal roads outside? =p
Bro got a prepaid broadband USB stick so internet's back again! =D Just that it's not wifi so I can't access app store to dl anything for my iPod.. =( Oh well, just gotta wait for a lil while more! Hehee..!
Oh, I forgot to mention in my previous posts that walgreens and Starbucks are everywhere! Starbucks is like 7-11 in Melbourne, there's at least one on almost every street! Well, that's in the city of course.. XD
We went to the markets in Chinatown too and got some groceries. In Chinatown, we passed by a... I'm guessing it's a restaurant bar with karaoke.. =p Not sure what it was, and there was either someone singing or they're playing some oldies song on cd. It was an oldies Chinese song. The moment I heard the music and I stood in front of the "whatever-place-it-was", it felt like I had gone back in time n arrived at some old street of the 70s. Although it was short as I was only passing by, the feeling was strong. I guess it was the combination of the song, the type of music, the atmosphere inside the place, the setting outside and the fact that we were in Chinatown, that gave me such a strong feeling. For a split second I thought I had actually left San Francisco 21st century and arrived in Shanghai 1970s. Mom agreed too. Interesting. =D
For dinner, mom cooked some simple n tasty good food! =) Mom cooked a little too much rice though and I just blurted a question. "Why did you cook so much? We can't finish them." Then it hit me again of how blessed I am! To be able to complain that there's too much food to eat, when there are so many people in the world dying of starvation everyday. I don't even need to think of people in Africa or India. There're plenty of homeless people on the streets right below our apartment right now. There'd be people who haven't had a decent meal for ages. Thank God for all these blessings! Not forgetting of course my precious iPod! XD
Everyone's so tired today. Me too.. Not quite sure if I'm still having jetlag, or is it all the travelling and stress, plus not having proper sleeps for nights that's draining me out. Hmm.. Guess it's a mixture of everything! =p
Tomorrow we shall start our vacation! Can't wait! Better get some sleep already! Good night! =D
