Busy bee me

It's confirmed - I have 21 pairs of shoes :p

Spent a few hours assembling a shoe wheel and cleaning and packing in my shoes. I'm happy :)

Lugged the shoe wheel back on Thursday while out with CY. It was quite heavy and of course we headed for the cab. But we were unlucky - we were attacked by a cockroach in the cab! Had to keep shifting with the big shoe wheel box in between us to accommodate the scary pest. Good thing we were almost home...

I was very hardworking yesterday - went to help Sito arrange his books etc. But only for a while :p Ended up reading his stuff..

For example, his old 作文簿!


And a new found favourite comic book :)

(Oh, notice my nicely manicured finger? :))

..while he buzzed about his tons of books..

(These are only maybe 20%)

Sinned with a huge supper but no regrets cos I ended up working on my laptop until 5 am *.* Woke at 1.30 pm today :)

I should really start to write about my latest trip.. Later!

Toilet talk

Was in a long toilet queue today but managed to jump ahead two women cos the latest available cubicle had a squatting pan.

Why do people prefer the sitting pan to the squatting pan? Some possible reasons:

1) Too old to squat - that's why Grams has a sitting pan after using a squatting pan for 70 years
2) Floor is usually wetter in a squatting pan cubicle - I try not to think about the nature of the liquid..
3) Some people read while shitting - and it's difficult to hold a book while trying to balance!
4) Simply habitual - I guess many younger people these days grow up with only a sitting pan at home

I have one reason for preferring the squatting pan to the sitting pan in public toilets - I'm not letting my bare silky skin touch something unsanitised for the last 100 s(h)its! And wait a minute, are those spots of water or urine on the seat?!

So, what do you prefer?
