Library Woes & Goodies From Home

i have a newfound love in the form of netter's orthopaedics. it comes in handy for everything in the musculoskeletal course. the drawings are so cute and some of them are hilarious (like the skeleton of a newborn. it's funny somehow). i want to be like frank netter. if only i could draw anything other than a stick figure. i am angry now because when i was about to renew my book online a few minutes ago somebody else had already placed a request for it so i have to send it back to the library. bloody. i don't like you whoever who is robbing me of my book. i have a $3.00 library fine but i don't know what the fine is for. i get really nervous if i don't return my books on time so it's unlikely it's for an overdue book. whatever it is I AM NOT PAYING. i think my parents have already drained out enough money for imu and i'm not going to let them (imu) have the pleasure of extorting an extra $3.00 on top of my ridiculously exorbitant tuition fees.

my parents came on sunday and brought with them food for me to last the week. among them: chicken casserole topped with roasted potatoes and lots of cheese, chicken soup with a whole chicken, si yau kai (chicken in LITRES soy sauce, literally) which is yummy but terrible for the kidneys and nigella lawson's sticky ribs! my mum also baked my favourite in the world lemon poppyseed cupcakes. upon handing over the box to me she said, "NAH. lemon poppyseed cupcakes. i'm pretty sure i forgot to add an ingredient but i just cant recall what it is." so i took a bite and realized that the lemon poppyseed cupcakes... had no poppyseed.

haiyoyo.

what is lemon poppyseed cupcakes without poppyseed you tell me?

nonetheless i still love them lemon cupcakes. i'm just thankful that she had forgotten the poppyseed and not the lemon. can you imagine if they were plain poppyseed cupcakes. how disgusting would those be. she brought 20 and now there are only 4 left. and tr only ate 2 out of the 16. which means i ate a total of 14 in two days. and we bought ben an ice-cream maker for his birthday (happy belated birthday ben!) so i'm expecting to pack on a few more pounds with ice-cream this weekend. hear that ben??? ice-cream ice-cream!!! sigh. how not to get fat like that?

did you realize it's the 16th of september? it's scary. but i don't think anything will change just yet.
