I kept a hedgie for a short while and called him Wally. I rescued him from a carpark and brought him home. he was slightly snappy at first but after a few bribes of roast pork he was very happy to see me hmmm

I don’t really love love McD’s but I don’t mind its hotcakes and I’ll eat it if I’m forced to ;) 

 However, I don’t think we’ll be going back to this particular McD’s anymore..

Contrary to the HOT in hotcakes, these came out  not very hot. And the butter.. well the butter…

 I thought it was from the (non-existent) ‘heat’ of my hotcakes so I stole someone else’s butter from a different meal but it was exactly the same. blech…

As for the big breakfast…

have you seen a more miserable sausage? emm like really? it looks it’s been through a time machine. Wizened and dry…

For the record, the hash brown was hot and crispy, although dripping with oil and grease

But seriously, this has really put me off McD’s for a while now, and I was never a fan anyway.  Definitely never going back to this one. Not even if they offered me free food.. 

okay maybe if it’s free and it looks really nice (sucker for free food okay… )

This is making its rounds on Facebook =)   I’m a book-nerd so here goes.

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.

Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read.
2) Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE.
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
4) Tally your total.

 WELL.. 30/100 I think.

And the others don’t really really seem to appeal to me. Apart from Winnie the Pooh. And 100 years of solitude by GGM (to see what the fuss is about).

 I’m stoked that some made it onto the list, like the faraway tree series from Enid Blyton and some of Pratchett’s books and REFeist’s Magician. 

My last day >< sedih T_T . . . berkumpul di sunbright for the announcement ahay… D:
