the last.

oh my gosh. i can't believe it. this is actually my last sunday in Sydney for this year! and i'm heading back to Singapore this friday! i'm so excited!!! =D

but yep, anyways this week was pretty much getting errands done and all, and i bought my macbook! it's so sweet. way better than my old powerbook. a little bigger but so much thinner and lighter!


* cool packaging *

just look at the packaging. so sleek, so cool, and so chic. but what's better is what lies inside....


* beyond words *

seriously, when i opened the box, i was totally struck with awe. everything is so 'cool'. this is what apple does to us..LOL! but yea, i also got a crumpler laptop case to protect my new baby.


* my red crumpler laptop case *

okay. enough about my new macbook. this week, i had my first golf lesson with the coach at Shelley's golf club. YAY! i can hit the ball slightly better! he told me that considering that it was my 2nd attempt, i was pretty alright =) so yeps, might get my own set of basic clubs soon to practise in Singapore! also, i caught up with Natalie on monday. it is certainly nice to see a familiar face from back home. and soon enough, both of us will be back in Singapore and partying hard. TP baddy will be complete again. sort of. LOL!


* in front of the Sydney opera house *

but yea, towards the end of this week i got pretty sick. all Shelley's fault! passed me her flu/sore throat bug. so annoying. oh wells, getting better now i guess. i better be! cause i don't wanna waste time lying in bed when i'm in Singapore. we have to party hard peeps! but yep, i still managed to head down to my friend, Julie's early 21st birthday celebrations tonight. had a couple of drinks and managed to catch up with some uni friends which was nice. =) not going to see them until next march! that's pretty long ay...



* at Julie's birthday party *

there are more pictures, but these are a few that have been uploaded so far. oh ya, and my exercise regime this week was not good. because of my sickness, i didn't really go to the gym that often. but thankfully, still managed to maintain my weight. i must lose more in Singapore, so please control me if i stuff myself in that plate of orh luah (without orh), hokkien mee or char kway teow. haha. i think i'll try to moderate my portions. afterall, i have 2 months to savour all my favourite and very much missed local fare. i actually wrote a list. maybe i should write it down here. here it goes.

*sarah's must-eat food list for singapore
  • laksa
  • oyster omelette (orh luah mai orh)
  • fried fish bee hoon soup
  • char kway teow
  • carrot cake (chai tau kway)
  • kway chap
  • prata
  • curry chicken
  • nasi lemak
  • chicken rice
  • bak kut teh
  • mee rebus
  • mee siam
  • double boiled soup
  • wanton mee
  • hor fun

  • chai chee porridge (blk 85)
  • bak chor mee (blk 85)
  • bbq stingray (blk 85)
  • mee pok
  • din tai fung (xiao long baos!)
  • mos burger
  • popiah

that's about all i have so far. but i'll add more as i slowly recollect the food i miss. LOL! quite a number of dishes eh. have to slowly cross them out one by one. =)

oh my gosh. i'm just so excited! i'm still deciding if i should continue the sunday tradition of blogging when i'm back, but i guess i'll see how it goes. SEE YOU ALL SOON!

xoxo
