Sense of Achievement!!

Dear Diary,

I am so proud of myself today!! Did a few things that gave me a sense of achievement and a sense of satisfaction =p

Firstly, even though the weather today was rather gd, the wind was blowing rather strongly, and according to a hong kong friend who was with us, the wind was like a typhoon back in hong kong. Even so, we ate ice-cream in the cold weather!! it felt great lar.. muz realli try eating ice-cream in winter.. hehe =p this was totally satisfying lar..

Went to Botanical Gardens and it was really beautiful!! and it seemed to have more life than the one back in spore lar.. the rose garden was terrific!! so many different kinds of roses.. gosh.. totally love them all =p we decided to have a picnic lunch tml.. to sit on the green grass and juz enjoy the wonderful surroundings.. so looking forward to it tml.. hope it doesnt rains!!!

What gave me a sense of achievement was my impromptu jog up the world's steepest street, Baldwin Street. Lol, we only wanted to walk over to take a look at the street, and take pictures from the foot of the street.. but since I felt tt i had not exercised much in a while, and the weather was rather gd, I decided to jog up the street! eekz.. now i realise how unfit i am.. muz start gg to gym and start jogging to keep fit.. but i managed to huff and puff my way up =p and i was in jeans and sandals lar!!! the view from the top of the street was great!! totally love the sights!! b4 winter starts, I muz complete another jog up Baldwin Street! and this time in proper attire lar... =p

Went to do proper grocery shopping today after leaving Baldwin Street.. proper as in buying groceries to do my own cooking of meals for the week.. eekz.. it was such a hassle... had to get oil, sugar, rice etc.. and everything was so heavy!! luckily i was carrying my backpack, could dump some stuff into it.. or my hands would break from the weight of the groceries and the long walk back lar... it was super tiring!!!

Hehe.. tonite's dinner was the first home-cooked meal I did since I got to NZ!! so proud of myself lar.. actually managed to make my own dinner.. lol.. i told myself yest tt i would try cooking dinner for the whole of the coming week b4 sch starts to see how my cooking will turn out.. and it turned out pretty fine!! yay!! super lots of ideas on what i wanna cook and eat.. but not sure how it will turn out.. oh well.. got 1 semester to try it out.. so fun!! zk was so shocked when i told him last nite tt i'm cooking my own meals for the wk lar.. he tot i was training to become a housewife.. lol.. no choice lar.. cant always eat out rite?? gonna try making pancakes for breakfast!! so exciting!! =)

gonna sleep well tonite after a satisfying dinner.. totally enjoyed my day!!! =)
