I’m up (as always)! Woke up at around 5am. If it’s one thing that’ll get me up early morning, it’s a good breakfast. I am having curry mashed potatoes and Tuna in chilli (am.: chili). It’s a very hot meal, in almost every aspect of the word hot (but no, not sexy).

Mashed potatoes (without milk and salt) and tuna in olive oil is one of my favourite combination ever. It’s almost as good as fish and chips (it sort of is like fish and chips but prepared differently). Here in Shanghai, chips are usually categorized as “starters” and the only place I know where ordering chips/fries is a norm is at McDonalds.

So when I’m at a restaurant, I avoid ordering chips as my main course because the person I’m hanging out with might assume I’m on some sort of budget.

I almost forgot that chips is my all-time favourite food, I even like it more than pizza and spaghetti. I’m pretty sure Seychelles adopted the habit from the British, I think people there have this thing for fish and chips as well.

The only fish I eat here in Shanghai is imported Tuna, LOL. They have a thing for river fish here and it’s all full of fish bones.

I really miss the quality fish back home. After a lifetime of big ocean fish from the Indian Ocean , I don’t think anyone would be able to stomach the fish they have here…and I don’t even like to complain about food so I’m just being completely honest.

One thing you might not know about me: I drink a small bottle of Yakult after breakfast everyday (sometimes I drink another bottle after lunch, and sometimes I ‘over do it’ and drink 3 bottles a day). It’s a probiotic drink that helps digestion (among other things) and I used to drink all sorts of Yakult flavours when I was a child in Singapore.

Anyway, I only had a few hours of sleep and I have quite a bit of things to do today so I’ll leave you all to whatever it is you have to do. They’re making us go to class today (Sunday)! Saturday was a weekend so it wasn’t really a public holiday for me..and for a whole lot of other people. They made us believe we’re having a 3-day holiday when we only had one really. Darn clever clogs!

Have a good day!
