Daily temperature: 4 - 16 Deg Celsius

Hihi,..

IT is turning cold now. I just saw the weather report on TV and it says daily temperatures at the Hague are between 4 to 16 degrees celsius, and the temp. range is kinda wide rite?? haha...4 to 16...oh well...

And oh! I forgot to tell you guys, I have a tv cable now and so I can watch TV!! Hurray!! But! All the channels less 3 are in dutch!! Sob Sob...I have to learn dutch! Luckily, I still get to watch Discover Channel Travel & Living (BEST) and also CNN and BBC..

Now I am wondering what to eat for dinner....haiz...the supermarket close at 6pm, so by the time I got to it, it's usually closed...i guess my big cooking plans shall have to wait till thursday. Thurdays are grocery days, the shops open till 9pm...finally, I can get to also buy my light bulb...

Well, they do not have much instant mee here but they have instant salads! hehe...check out this one below. I whipped it up yesterday, still have some in the fridge so I guess that is my dinner tonite! And, I still have 5 pieces of Bak Kua only...:(

People that I meet here ask me if I am settled down in the Hague...hmm, I dunno..it's a funny feeling still in a way. Now, I can get to work and when I walk around the neighbourhood, I don't really have to think about where to go or how to walk to places, i just walk knowing the way. I guess in that sense, I am settled down here...but I found that I have this new feeling or experience in me that is hard to describe. It's almost like my life is really MY life now kinda of thing. You get a super high level of ownership in everything you decide to do. I guess I am still learning about myself.

Anyway, I am really enjoying my work now stil. I guess I cannot really write details about what I do in FIP...but in a short summary, I handle all matters with regards to professional and scientific affairs in FIP and I work as the WHO Technical Officer in FIP. I am glad my work in FIP and WHO related stuffs give me assertations about why I am here.

Hmm, suddenly this is becoming a serious post...ok, let's lossen up! Oh, tomorrow I am dinning out with the IPSF gang at the PUCK restaurant because Lesley is flying back to Nova Scotia this week.

So, I guess I shall go check out my Instant Salad now. Here is a photo of it. I added some grapes to it. :)
