It’s like Valentine’s day, but instead of chocolate, you give each other Pocky instead! 
Remember, 11 November (11/11, just like Pocky sticks!) is Pocky day!
Probably one of the interesting things I learn from my Korean classmates while in Shanghai.

Unit 71
Celebrated J’s birthday last night with lots of laughter and random events. Pretty sure our neighbour could hear us blowing those party-whistle-thingys all night. For some reason we found that really funny and couldn’t stop laughing. Hehe.
Adelaide can be a little Zzzzz… at times, and doing assignments for long hours makes you just wanna sit and stare and do nothing. Okay, I’ve been told that I tend to space out a lot, but that’s not the point. Anyway, recently I just picked up fishing and whenever the weather’s good, we’ll head out to Brighton to catch some squid. Yesterday was the most eventful fishing trip. We caught 6 squids in total! Together with 2 squids from a previous catch, we had 8 squids for dinner last night. Haha.
Second Valley
They were showing this while we were visiting OCF Melbourne City.
The mid-semester break went by so fast. But it was good. Spent the first week doing nothing, just bumming around and what not. And then the second week of the break was spent in Melbourne. It was a super last minute trip. I got woken up by JTWW (who has adopted AA and I as his ‘daughters’) and TT on Monday afternoon and was told to start packing because we were going to leave that very night. Yeah, they kinda like came into my room and I woke up to two figures sniggering at my bedside. So, I had a couple of hours to pack and then the next thing I remember, I think I had dinner and then we were leaving Adelaide. The housemates were mortified when they saw me walking out with a huge bag as I waved goodbye. They were shouting ‘Come back here!‘ demanding goodbye hugs before I was allowed to walk out the door. Awww…
At Queen Victoria Market
Anyway, we left Adelaide at 1.30am and JTWW drove 8 hours to get us to Melbourne. It started out with TT in the front seat, and then she got sleepy so I went in front and got hungry at 3.00am. I’m a horrible road trip companion because I don’t talk much thus not being a very useless person at keeping the driver awake. Plus, I fell asleep for a while at around… 4ish 5am. Hehe. So poor JTWW was left to fend for himself. Read the rest of this entry »
Daddy’s back home and the surgery went fine. A little bit of the tumor could not be removed because it was in a sensitive area. Heard that there was fluid under the skin where the wound was and was removed using a syringe. We’re hoping that the wound would heal fine. Other than that, everything’s good! Hehe. Parents should be returning to Shanghai again a month later.
Parents are back in Singapore for my dad’s medical checkup. And unfortunately there is tumor growth (again) and my parents have scheduled my dad for his 4th brain surgery. Thankfully, according to what my mum told me, the growth is only on the surface (what surface? I have no idea). I think his surgery is on 1st Oct, again I’m not sure whether is it the 1st or the 10th because my mother typed the date out in her email as ‘1Oct’, so it’s like, did she think the ‘O‘ was a zero or what, while looking at her screen. But I shall assume my mother isn’t that blur and that she meant 1st and only forgot to tap the spacebar between the one and the ‘O‘. So anyway, his doctor is concerned with healing of the wound and stuff because this is after all his fourth surgery.
At the moment, the plan is that my parents will return to Shanghai after my dad’s surgery and followup, which would mean that they’ll be in Singapore for about a month or so. We’ll see how things go.
Thanks for all the prayers.
