I opened my browser and saw this really cool ad from Firefox.


They're looking for 'agents' to put up 3.5-feet firefox stickers in prominent places, but you gotta have a plan, if chosen you get an Apple Macbook as grand prize. I might try putting it up at the Angel of the North statue but I'm afraid that would result in me being booted out of this wonderful, highly-developed and migrant-friendly nation who have done so much for the world.

Another fox-y update, I made the quickest purchase I've ever done in my whole life last Monday. Less than ten minutes including the PIN punching and receipt-waiting. What did I buy?

This. The Puma Complete Trailfox women performance running shoes that I've been wanting so long that I can't believe I had to fly thousands of miles from home just to get my hands on. I am so walking the 12-mile length of Hadrian's Wall on Sunday, wish me luck!

It's 9 degrees today according to the news. I decided to went back to the house and change into a warmer jacket when I felt the unforgiving coldness as I stepped out of my centrally heated flat. Good decision. Here's a view of where I live atop the Metro station and some pics taken during our Saturday outing to Ikea.

Ikea Gateshead

I lost my bag at Ikea. I just realised it when we were on our way back to the City centre. We went back and looked for it at the bus stop and asked the customer service staff if somebody has returned it, unfortunately somebody decided to take it home and use my hangers, candles and rugs as well as my Swedish chocolates and chips. We just decided to buy the same things again plus some extra so as not to feel disheartened over the whole thing.


Asa-chan

Losing a whole shopping bag was not too bad because I got to spend the day with Asa-chan. She's very sweet and decided I am her one-e-chan and held my hand the whole time. She would sit beside me instead of her mom and dad and I was trying to teach her how to count in English. All she managed to do was imitate my fingers as I count. I've got to learn how to count in Japanese! We hit it off really well, must be the matching clothes we wore that day :)
