damage to wallet today.. is half the allowance gone. bought lots of medication for someone, in the hope that it'd ease his sinus problems somehow, and my sleeping pills and super strong flu medication (you know, just in case..) and not forgetting my teeny little wee bit shopping done.

so the new hotel ain't that bad after all. if you're willing to walk a little u'll find everything, including a supermarket. hmm, a hypermarket more like it. no one wanted to walk there with me after the shopping done at the mall this afternoon, all saying it's too far and all, so i decided to take an evening jog there and visit that area. i never realised my right ankle is getting really really weak, with old sprains, until abt 10 minutes into the run, it kinda dislocated. well, it felt like my ankle fell off. and i had to slowly limp the whole way there, and the way back. ouch.

and in the afternoon, alvin gave me a piece of advice, "i've learnt never to trust maps in US." which, i found to be ABSOLUTELY true when i went in search of 'food 4 less' just now. the map indicated that it was before a particular junction, BUT, when i reached that junction i saw no signs of it. and because i limped all the way there i refused to give up, and walked further down. AND VOILAAAAAA! it was about 5 minutes FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD!! (#**&$#(*@#(*)(%

so yeah. i made it there. and bought all the sleeping pills i could find for my insomnia. and also all the strong strong sinus medication. ho ho ho i feel so learned, reading through all the medical terms and ingredients. and i bumped into someone when i reached the hotel and he went "ARE YOU CRAZY?? u should have taken the cab there! it's so far!"

legs are meant for walking my dear.

lalalala, i love love love pancakes and waffles in the morning. but now i am nursing my poor ankle.

fireworks at disneyland lit the sky and though i've never been a fan of such things, it still managed to brighten up my day. or night. whatever.

ok lesson learnt: never trust maps in US.
