- Send electronic heartfelt cards to friends in Singapore, after the physical ones I posted never arrived
- Arrange meet ups with friends for later in the week
- Check out MeetUp.com and see if there are any cool groups I can socialise with
- Apply for jobs (though at this point I only see one suitable position)
- Write up a couple of blog posts on good eating experiences I've had
