Of translations and conversions...

Damn... reading Angela's blog makes me feel compelled to put in more effort into my blog (or at least take more pictures *note to self: bring camera everywhere I go from henceforth).

Oh well, nothing much happened today. I went grocery shopping, tried reading the instructions for contact lense solution/detergent, reading the special offer advertisements, and figure out how much was a packet of indomee in S$ (kennasai, daylight robbery. It's $1 per packet of instant noodles!!). Got a splitting headache from all the English-chinese-english translations and NT$ to S$ conversions computing at pentium 286 speed in my head). Oh I also spent the afternoon working from home -- reading everything i can about the healthcare system in Taiwan.

Yeah -- the shopperholic is now a supermarket ah-soh cum workaholic. & though I live smack in the middle of Taipei's "orchard rd equivalent", till today I have not bought my typical frivilous stash of clothes/shoes/bags/shoes... *gasp* WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! I have recovered!!!!!

No you have not!!! I called you at 11 pm on Saturday and you were out shopping!!!! ;)

I have diagnosed you as a "recovering shopaholic with an extended relapse".
