been rather sick the last two days and sleeping a great deal. woke up at 3 this morning and didn't much want to get back to sleep. made a cup of tea (i do love darjeeling, even out of a teabag) and continued tinkering with my new laptop. not for the first time do i think how much i like the thinklight, which von scorned when i got my x24, but makes such a difference in the middle of the night. i want mi jiang kueh, dao huey (hot,) you tiao (julian's oil sticks, hee) and pandan waffles with blueberry filling. gasp. pandan waffles. i wonder how to make one. should apprentice self to neighbourhood confectionery pandan waffle auntie for a week. i wonder if you can get such waffles in america. i wish i could grow pandan leaves here. you couldn't make nasi lemak rice with pandan extract can you? i'm rambling aren't i. it's the thought of food that's driving me mad. i'd better get back to sleep. with any luck the next time i wake up it'll be lunchtime. i would like one of campo del fiori's potato and proscuitto pizzas, or the bstilla at grendel's. mm hmm. good night.
