Because I’m most excited about this, there’s a new stove in the house! Hip hip hurray! The old one was shitty- there was gunk left over from goodness knows when and two of the four tops were not working. This new one’s a beauty! And it was on this new beauty that I prepared a sumptuous dinner of Singapore curry chicken (had with a fresh baguette from the bakery near the train station), fried sotong and fish balls and fried beehoon and the yummiest cheng1 teng1. Celine came over, see. We were all very happy stuffing our faces… except for the beehoon which turned into this odd consistency and we had to throw it away. Blessing in disguise, really. (Won’t I just say anything to comfort myself?) Why a blessing, you ask? Because Celine is very funny. Huh what has that got to do with anything? Because we were so FULL and Celine kept making us laugh and our stomachs were literally in pain from moving about so much while holding such an enormous capacity of food.

Anyway. I’m good. Everything’s good. My shit week is over, which is cause for celebration. The test yesterday morning, which I spent two whole days cramming for went well, I think. It was a commentaire de texte, and I was surprised that I knew enough about the EU UE- union européene to write a proper Introduction-Three big points each with three sub-points-Conclusion commentaire.

Friday morning it is. I’m itching to go out, so I will. Will remember to go to the pharmacy to to buy something for my cough. I have had the scariest-sounding cough for the past few days and now that work stuff is out of the way and I refuse to start on my other work stuff for the time being, I am going to take drastic (snort) measures to kill my cough. Aiyai… my priorities.
