Do you make ‘lists’?

I remembered watching a movie.. let me think.. it should be ‘I don’t know how she does it’, where SJP always keep lists of things to do/buy and etc.

Do you make lists? I’m not exactly the most organised person in the world, but I do make lists. My mum on the contrary is a neat freak and the most organised woman I’ve known but yet she has no list. Hmm.

I usually start my day with TeuxDeux, it’s my homepage on my chrome browser. I’ll list down the things I plan to do in that day and also for the week ahead. I dl the iPhone app too, so it’s synced and I can refer to it when I run my errands outside. Initially I’m torn between using it vs scribbling it down (I like the idea of scribbling numbers/notes down) but I ALWAYS lose the paper. So I gave up. This app is more convenient for someone like me – who faces more than 50% of her time in front of comp and iPhone. I do keep a notebook and pen in my bag wherever I go but that come out less often these days.

With all the mess in the house as LY and I pack to move out, the list becomes more indispensable. There are so many things to pack, buy, throw, give away and etc. Packing calls for a lot of smaller boxes/containers, labeling, markers and tapes too. As mentioned, I’m not a super organised person but if I NEED to pack, I’ll make sure it’s done PROPERLY – everything packed and labeled nicely.

Having said that, I better get to packing and my scrapbooking now. I don’t have much time left.

List of things that I’m scrambling to get done:

- Scrapbooking
- Search for a wedding gown and take more ‘pre-wedding’ shots
- Edit my SFO pictures
- Develop many more batches of photos and continue more scrapbooking
- Itinerary for the ‘Travel to the North’ trip
- Pack the house and give away things that I don’t need
- To-buy list for the return trip to SG

Pardon me for the MIA on the blog. I’ll try to have more updates!

Coffee fix now + catching up on my favourite blogs before I run off to do my crafts! Ciao.

Back in Dallas.

Bethany: Boba Tea House

Since we were in the Arlington area, we decided to chk this Taiwanese cafe out, intro’ed by AM some time back! Food is pretty decent, really cheap, the set meal comes with a milk tea still! Mangas and mags are a bonus! LY had the slam dunk in front of him all the while he was eating! Tsk.

The Grape Restaurant
This place is named “Best Brunch” by Dallas Observer and one of the “Top 8 Brunch Places” by the Dallas Morning News, Texas monthly’s best burger in Texas, Aug 2009.

With these credentials, of course I was having high expectations for this place. Well, it didn’t disappoint. LY enjoyed the cheeseburger – which is what everyone raves about on yelp, while I had the haystack – doesn’t seem like a popular option. Halfway through the meal then I realised, ahh the haystack is a vegetarian option, there isn’t any meat in it! Aiya, not wonder I felt like something was missing. Haha, I’m totally so not a vegetarian.

Sorry for the blurness of photos.

Tiring day 3.

Hit the downtown today. Just me + dslr. It felt different (in a nice way) to explore the city on my own. I can stop whenever I like, walk aimlessly, see random things, shop, eat and rest my legs anyhow I like it. SFO is a beautiful city, I can’t emphasize it enough. Despite my 3rd time here, there are still a lot of things for me to take in. I grinned to myself the moment I saw the city, on the escalators from the Bart (their rail) underground to the open streets.

I bumped into NBA players (SPURS!), viewed a museum, ate lunch alone, shopped, walked a lot, bought egg tarts, visited daiso, jealous that Dallas doesn’t have one, iphone batt went dead, a little stranded w/o phone, used a public phone (so glad they are not obsolete yet. I believe SG no longer has any pay phones!), it was 50c a call, pretty expensive huh, went home, had awesome dinner plus yday cakes, ahhh life is good.

I’m so sleepy now, yawning as I type out this post. Don’t think I can keep my eyes open to process the photos. YAWNS again. Alrighty gd night world!
