An insight into my weekly inventory check.

Stuff I have to have each week. At the moment anyway, cos it changes from time to time. Like how I was once sooo addicted to Oreos, but thanks (or no thanks) to the 2006 Redang trip, where we downed 9 tubes of Oreos in 3 days, I haven't had my daily Oreos in ages. Ahaha. And then once, it just had to be chocolate-mint TimTams. Oh TimTams, how I love thee. The Aussie ones are the best-tasting ones!

1. Dan.D.Pak Nori Maki Rice Crackers

Fat free, cholesterol free, nut free!
Awesome late-night, "must munch something" snacks!
Awesome late-night, "mmm...hungry" snacks would still have to be McD's! Oh joy for McD's 24hour delivery. Die la die la. If I do go to Aussie, I'd starve during late nights up. Haha. Do they even have 24hour delivery there?

2. Sultana biscuits!

Must be the uber convenient individually packed ones. I just grab a pack or two for brekkie on my way to uni, and I'm done! For brekkie, I usually have an apple plus a pack or two of sultana biscuits, Iko variety oat cookies or Jacob's Sunlife.

3. Fuji Apples or Genting Garden Cherry Tomatoes

My favourite - cherry honey tomatoes. Though the sun cherry on vine tomatoes are the yummiest, most aromatic type of tomatoes I've tasted. I also love their ready-to-eat salad packs, especially the Garden Salad one, not the Ceasars salad.

I sound too healthy here. Haha. Trust me, I'm far from healthy.

4. Werther's Original Chewy Toffee / Caramel!

Nyum! I know many people say it's too sweet, but it really isn't! Plus, I'm usually the one who complains about things being too sweet for my liking, so it's an a-ok approval from me. I usually buy these or Mentos mints. The dark blue box one. Hot mint, I think.

5. Asian Geographic magazine

Although this is more of a monthly thing, rather than a weekly thing, it's a must-have!
I love the photography in the mag, I love how home-related (Asian) the articles are, I love the tonnes of environmentally related articles and photographs, I love the travel bits, I love reading up on so much stuff about Asia and around the world that I've never known before this.

Like, did you know about Jules Underwater Lodge? Or Poseidon Resorts, the world's first sea-floor holiday resort? Well, I didn't till I read this magazine. =)

6. MORE food!

If, for example, it's the exam period, or the assignment week, I'll stock up more than my usual amount of food, to keep me up during the late nights and just for the energy I need to keep myself focused on work. And those periods are usually the most fun ones, where I stock up on all kinds of cookies, Rocky (I love Rocky! ), watermelon lollies, Choco chex, Weetbix, and chocolate bars.

Sidenote;

I've watched both the season premieres of One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl.
No spoilers here, AHAHAH, but yay for OTH and GG!

Best. Grecian-Themed. Dress. Ever.

I'm serious! If I ever had all the money in the world, I'd splurge (though if I have all the money in the world, it wouldn't be considered splurging?) on this Oscar de la Renta dress. I've always liked Grecian-themed dresses (though I don't and probably won't ever own one), and this is the perfect Goddess-like dress. Isn't the whole look great? Darn, GG brings out the bimbo in me at times. Le sigh. But, it's an awesome dress, don't you think so?
