On vacation

Because I booked my ticket before I got my visa, and my budget dictated I got a ticket that would rather crash the plane (haha, don’t arrest me in a dawn raid Home Office man) than let me change my flights.

So it’s short vacation time for me. I’M NOT BRINGING MY LAPTOP (how will I survive), but I will have access to one — it remains to be seen if I will write any posts while eating (top of the list, as always), sleeping, and seeing family and friends. And eating some more. And snacking on Chinese New Year junk food. And the ice cream my aunt always buys for Chinese New Year visitors. And the ba kwa (barbecued pork slices) Mum has ordered.

And cuddling and scaring the shit out of the cats! I miss the kitties. Not the kitties that piss and poop on the beds, the other ones.

I’ve said this before: knowing my luck, it’ll snow like mad and much childlike snow day activities will ensue while I’m away, and it’ll go back to rainy and dull when I get back. And I’ll get heatstroke back home.
