Ah, the arduous task of getting things done.

By that I mean buying a fridge and fixing the washing machine which is currently flooded.

Also, have recently started using Google Calendar permanently to help with scheduling of classes, gym/physio, assignments, social things and food...

Fridges, fridges, fridges. The current one I have been given authority to sell or dispose of and I'm looking around the internets for a suitable and affordable replacement. Preferably a second-hand one. Sucky thing: I need to call the repairman to fix the washing machine. Oh, the pain.

I finally dyed my hair blue so I can scratch that off the bucket list. Next off, Learn some spoken French. The first step is to go on BBC - Languages and subscribe to the 12-week program... Check. Set aside about two to three hours to practice  twice a week... Check. Waiting for first email on Monday... Check.

This week's Dinner, Can be altered. (Which is the best part about cooking for one):

Monday: Seafood pie with baby spinach in filo pastry crust

Tuesday: Grilled  fish salad/ Might be going out for dinner

Wednesday: Leftover Seafood Pie

Thursday: Salad in Sesame dressing

Friday: Leftover Seafood Pie with Salad

Saturday: Creamy Tomato Soup and bread

Sunday: Fried Chicken with fresh greens, rice and budu

I can't wait for the new fridge as it will be endless possibilities for me to make things to freeze in edible portions, YAY!

I guess this is a good a time as any to gush about Tenggol. As you may have known, a bunch of us went for a 3 day 2 night trip to Tenggol for some sand, dive and sea amongst other things. Six of us went and it was glorious. If only the sun was up full blast on the second day though, that I was mighty displeased about.

I went diving once because I got distracted by other things but that diving was rather fantastic. The coral beds and sealife was much more than I was used to but then I only had Tulamben as a reference point. We made some delightful acquaintances there and hopefully will keep in touch with them for future reference. I must say that I love how the beach effects people and behaviours. Diving was a lot more... complicating than it should have been and I was carried around like a large suitcase by some of the boat boys in and out of boats, one of the boat boys looked like a fitter, taller version of my ex... He's a strong fellow too by the name of Din.

We brought the sheysha pot to the island in a small basket which, when we got to talking, found out from some of the new acquaintances that they thought we were very posh to bring a picnic basket to the beach. Hilarity ensued.

Next year, with a more mapped out schedule of my winter break: FIVE NIGHTS IN PERHENTIAN! Plus four to six dives.
