I actually have a journal for that which I do read from time to time just to remind me of things. But it sure is good to know that you get a little wiser everyday too. BTW, Mochi is so cute!

I buy Japanese Meiji chocolates in bulk and I lock them all up in my drawer *weak smiles* A few encounters with things that you do not want to see in a toilet bowl in my primary school years, I've learned to avoid covered toilet seats at all costs. I've seen vomits, toilets clogged by diarrhoea/toilet paper, someone's mobile mixed with pee (in the end he got the janitor to fish it out), pencil cases, textbooks (a revenge act by students on cheaters who hide textbooks in toilets during exam times) and etc. It's just so funny and yet interesting because each time I lift the cover I discover something amusing and different. Five kids and one adult = hell. I've tried babysitting three kids with the help of my brother and we couldn't handle them. Not to mention FIVE! And for the spelling mistake thing, I find it very true for me! Even when I check through my speling all the time, I still find stupid typos after a few months of publishing :P I guess I need new glasses and more sleep!

That's why I was curious! Maybe not until summer because I simply cannot afford luxurious things like that at this time of the year lol.

My doggies like to sleep right up against me. Pocky sometimes sleeps with his ass touching my head. Often, he'll climb on top of my pillow, curl up above my head on my pillow -_- haha. It's warm at least! I love OPI Nail Envy! I worked with kids for 2 years, taking care of 4 babies, or 5 one year olds, or 6 twos, or 10 preschoolers at once.

Korean pancakes are so good, how did you learn to cook them? I want to start learning how to cook good asian food but have failed a lot... And I didn't know that they had tire insurance... I bump into curbs a lot! That's a good idea to buy, plus when it's so cheap for you. I heard Bath and Body Works is going to open in Richmond Centre, I stock up on their anti-bacterial stuff all the time because it doesn't have that alcohol-y smell <3 h O god Mochi is/was so adorable!!
