went shopping at pentagon city today. bought 2 pounds of grape tomatoes and prob genetically modified unbelievably huge portabello mushrooms at COSTCO. also bought 3 tops but i hope i'll return them within the next month. prob justified buying everything by my not going anywhere for spring break. really wanted to go up to nyc with my roommie and her sis but then turns out that there isn't really a bus to return on tues morning when jing comes and so i just got too lazy to look for other bus lines. there are really a lot of things here to do if i really bother to look for stuff to do. i will just slack, chill, maybe bake, read for fun and explore more of dc =) if only the cherry blossoms were out this week. they will only be in full bloom mid April or something! discovered that you can take a bike tour round the cherry blossom area near the Potomac... sounds cool but then again not fun to go alone. after the cherry blossom festival next Sat there will be a kite festival! i hope i'll be free enough to go for both! =) watched the Incredibles today finally, 2 days after it came out on dvd, cos my roommate and i share a blockbuster pass and were kiasu enough to go down to the store this morning to grab a copy of it... haha.
i feel really happy for ppl who got what they wanted. hope to hear more good news from my friends in the next month or so =) my favorite song of the week, strangely enough, is Robbie William's 'She's The One' =P

what happens when your roomies refuse to wash their dishes no matter how many times u tell them to?? hide them in your room and only leave 2 or 3 in the kitchen cabinets.. least that's what i heard from my roommate. apparently in her bf's apartment they all refuse to do dishes so the anal roommate got so mad he hid all the dishes in his room and all of them thought the dishes went missing. till this person told the rest they need to learn how to do dishes... on the other hand, the rest of his roommies had to endure some ox-tail stench in their apartment cos according to hearsay he cooked this ox-tail thingy for 6 days and so the whole apartment smells of that..
i hope spring comes real soon.. while walking along the streets to work today i spotted ppl transplanting all kinds of pretty flowers onto the flower beds along the streets.... few days ago i thought how come spring all the flowers spring out of nowhere. silly me =P it's really nice; i've never seen this in Berkeley! and there will be a cherry blossom festival next Saturday.. i wonder if all the trees will hav flowers blooming in the next week or so... er.. i dun think so lah. =P hmm but look what happened to death valley! =P

Bush appointed Paul Wolfowitz to head the World Bank... so eeky. that Bush got re-elected and thus got to appoint the new president of the World Bank...
i think i might end up doing summer sch this summer. suddenly feel like doing a public policy minor, after reading about all legislation regarding Chinese NGOs etc... but then if so i wun be able to finish everything in 4 years... but then again i'm so greedy; i think my Econ is so BAD now i need to take so many other courses to pull up my Econ GPA... my summer plans have changed drastically over the past month or so. hmmm if so then i'll prob hav to look for housing when i get back... doubt HDB will approve of my summer plans since i wun be taking Econ classes. I have had a long hiatus from Econ. i feel ashamed of myself cos i think i'm more like a PEIS major now... even my research paper is going to be on PEIS-related stuff...

feel really depressed today about my research topic. i came up with something, after doing so much reading... but only to find out that it isn't really feasible and that there isn't a strong argument for it. sigh. what do you do in such cases. and then my prof suggested a totally new topic... but i feel so lazy to have to look up a whole new set of material cos it's like u feel like u dun want to abandon something u hav invested so much time and energy into looking into. sigh dunno. and so went out with my roommate to eat ice cream. when it was perhaps 5C outside. and so walking to potbelly's made me freeze already... feel so stuck with no one to help me... sigh. but i know no use complaining also cos it doesn't help... hav to just keep trying. if only i were smarter.

clumsy me twisted my foot three times and almost got knocked down by a car when walking on the street today; wonder what got over me; good thing didn't sprain my ankle though. that would have been horrible. spent the whole afternoon going through some papers and most of the night just slacking and watching anime. good way to occupy yourself when u dun feel like doing anything else. i kinda miss some ppl but i'm fine, not really depressed or sad or anything, cos it would be silly of me to get upset when there isn't anything seriously wrong with my life... =) haha. my roommate is now cursing my other noisy roomies in the hall cos she's trying to sleep... i know she doen'st mean it though =P
