They’re both still alive! But they seem to have brownish leaves. I don’t think I’ve been over-watering them since I only let them get rained on once a week – two weeks or so.

Lulu La Delizia – take 2!
Sometimes restaurant cravings are really annoying. I mean, I love going back, but they cost a lot! And they tend to take a bit of planning, reservations wise. I’ve been wanting to revisit Lulu la Delizia since my first visit there made such a good impression, but I never quite felt it was the right time. However, I’ve been craving Lulu for a month now, so I decided, not 4 hours beforehand, that I’d book a table for myself. I was surprised that there were tables available at such short notice, but it was because the only timeslots available were before 5:30PM, or after 9PM. So, early dinner it was!

Hello again, Singapore
After my Cebu stint, the trip back involved an overnight stopover at Singapore. There were aspects of this place that I absolutely loved before so I made them my first priority!

Cebu, Philippines 2018
My adventures this year have lead me to a place I didn’t think I’d ever get to visit – the Philippines. Even rarer that I’d end up away from the capital city. But here I was, with a super short trip to Cebu.
The way there wasn’t overly complex, but did take some time. Also, I confirmed that flying budget isn’t my thing. There’s actually nothing wrong with the flights themselves, which were quite pleasant. It was just that I was used to all the mod-cons of full service – inflight entertainment, USB charging ports, and a constant offering of free water. Time sure crawls when there’s no distractions in a restricted space!
One quirk I was bemused by was that my first leg from Perth to Kuala Lumpur had a plane decorated both inside and outside, with anime style girls – an ad for a Chinese mobile game called “Girls Frontline” apparently.
I had a five hour stopover at Kuala Lumpur airport. In order to save money, I didn’t opt for lounge entry. Instead, I’d planned ahead and packed myself a good book to pass the time.

Reine’s hospital adventures… again!
When it rains, it pours. I thought I had my one hospital visit, when something much smaller but really annoying decided to happen. I had some sort of pimple-like thing right under my right eyebrow, and I didn’t think too much of it at the time, until after a day or two it made my whole eyelid red. I still figured it’d just heal, so I didn’t do anything until a week later it didn’t get any better and instead, started to swell.
After a visit the doctor, I wasn’t any closure to knowing how long it would take for the lump to go away. All the doc figured was that it was probably some sort of cyst, and I was prescribed antibiotics.
A few days passed, and the condition got worse, and I wasn’t able to open my eye properly, especially in the mornings. Eventually everyone at work became super concerned too, and after a doctor friend took a look, she recommended that I go straight to the hospital. (more…)

Avocado plant progress
A month after being transplanted into a pot:
Older sibling with lucky dead grasshopper looks to be doing very well overall.
Younger sibling on the other hand, somehow managed to put all its energy into making big leaves, of which, the first leaf it ever had developed some sort of browning (didn’t look bug eaten, not sure if diseased) so I amputated it. A little unsure how well this fellow is doing.
