Plans for the holidays

In one week I will have finished my exams. And less than a week later, I'll be back in Malaysia.

So what am I planning to do? I already have a few things in mind...and seeing the kind of things these are...I don't think I'll be bored these hols.

1) Read, read, read! I've already started...and I borrowed an Agatha Christie book from the INSA library when I went there last Tuesday, ready to read once my exams are over! (or maybe even before...since the last 3 subjects don't really need studying for...they're kind this year, not leaving Maths or Physics till the end :D ) Then I have several e-books that I've downloaded but haven't read yet...and several sites online where I can download some more! Not to mention RD.com that I found recently... So, as you can see, the only limit is time...and my eyes :/

2) I bought a knitting kit six months ago. SIX months, and I haven't even started. It was the first of a teach-yourself-to-knit series...at a discounted price (I think it cost 50 cents or 1 euro) So that's one of the things I will be doing this hols.

3) Minesweeper. Of course I'm gonna play minesweeper! But I think the priority will go to reading. I'll try to play a few times a week...to stay in the Active Ranking (and not lose my touch!). Mainly, I want a record, but I don't think intensive playing will get me there faster...

4) Watch Spanish series on TV :P After a year of learning Spanish (2 hours a week) I find that I'm lagging (waaay behind) in the oral department. So it's time to polish that a bit (hope it works! lol) I shall also try to find some Spanish e-books, 'cos for the moment I have to think really hard before conjugating each verb! Hmm...anyone has any Spanish series to lend me? (I'd really like to see Paula Paulina again... :P )

The problem: almost all of this requires eye power :/ So what can I do that doesn't strain the eyes?

1) Sports, like table-tennis or badminton...but that's harder. Have to find somewhere, someone, etc...

2) Makan* :P We didn't manage the food tour of Kuantan last year...what about this year? lol

3) Maybe I can cook a bit...can try that crumble in a real oven... Besides, I think my mother might actually be glad to hand over her kitchen sometimes...the question is, can I find my way around? :P

And maybe I'll take more photos...and post on my blog! ;) And with all the reading I shall be doing, what about book reviews, you like book reviews? lol

*makan = eat
