Faces of Death

How appropriate for today. (Warning: not for weak stomach.)

Sorry, God, I failed you, and I failed myself at the end.
It's impossible for him to know the weight, responsibilities, and consequences of ones actions.
He is unable to put himself in my shoes.
To him, I'm always the bad guy.
God, were you trying to test me? Or just toying with me?
No, sorry, I take it back. He's the one doing that.
Yes, I'm very sad, and very, very tired. Tired of wasted efforts.

Kit Kat Senses

Looks like they're trying to compete with Bueno, but quite different. I bit open a square along the long side, and found it filled solid with wafer unlike the picture on the packaging. (i.e. no special compartment for the "cream". Besides, the texture is also very rough. (Of course, it's wafers.) At the end it feels heavy and a bit too sweet with a strong presence of condense milk.

IQ test

110... normal. Yay. But I took quite a few guesses.
If you have 40 minutes to kill, try here.

Eczema?

Getting worse. The area on my arm is even worse. It's formed a lump and is sore on the touch. The itching got to the point of interfering with my sleep last night. Woke up with scratches all over. Must be the hang nail. I don't have a cat, but my arm looks like it. (T_T)

Went to the family doctor and got a referral to a dermatologist. Takes a month!!! Not sure if that doctor is or will be on holiday. Missed my chance to find out thanks to that guy in front of me who came back and bucked the doctor some more. (He had some forms filled by the doctor and the receptionist was busy dealing with his receipt.) Grrr...

House sitting 3

Mission completed. Brother came home today.

If I don't take advantage of his house's location and not go to Richmond, I'd regret it later.

Well, I'd say in the past 3 days, I've been more productive than the past 3 weeks. A change of environment works magic.

House sitting 2

Things went well. I'm enjoying having the whole place to myself, hehehe... Even had a chance to go out for a while for this long weekend. Thanks Andrew.

The Koren student speaks very little English so communication is difficult. She wanted me to pack sandwich for lunch for her picnic in Stanley Park tomorrow. Too bad I don't know my sister-in-law's kitchen set up. Can't help. (Later found out, requesting isn't part of the deal anyway.)

Didn't get to continue on the Japanese input on Mac research. I've gone as far as finding an info site, but just not enough time to actually set anything up. Oh well. In return I got more beading done. Don't mind at all as my own place is too hot to work on such things.

Also made 2 of the 3 calls from yesterday. The failed one failed because my friend slept early. I ended up waking up her sister. (Sorry...) Argh! Why didn't she e-mail me the change of plan? (T_T)

House sitting 1

House sitting for my brother starts. Will be spending 2 nights at his place when he goes camping with his family. My sister-in-law has prepared units of food for the Koren student, so all I need to do is to hand her 3 units at around 5pm. (That includes breakfast and lunch for the next day.) Oh, and feed the fish too.

In return, I get to use their unlimited long distance call. However, it didn't work tonight. First person I didn't send any notification ahead and she was at work. (She has to work shifts at the custom.) Second person didn't check mail and I got her at a bad time. Third person was also not contacted in advance, but I gave up before even trying. Oh well, tomorrow.
