lol xD

saw this while randomly browsing tumblr's theme garden:

* Jack: Hey, you know what sucks?
* Lindsey: vaccuums
* Jack: Hey, you know what sucks in a metaphorical sense?
* Lindsey: black holes
* Jack: Hey, you know what just isn't cool?
* Lindsey: lava?

ahahhahahaa xD

Made some popovers today, they were gooood.

recipe from the kitchn
True to it's name, these babies were crispy on the outside and soft at the center. They go perfectly with some good jam. Hehee I can just imagine myself in some english garden sipping tea while munching on one of these.

等故事长大



画沙
作曲:袁咏琳
作词:方文山
主唱:袁咏琳&周杰伦

午后的风摇晃枝桠 抖落了盛夏
我对着蝉认真说话 在对你牵挂
玩风琴就是爱瞎闹 堆积着无暇
我跟着站在碧沙岸 让你放不下

这风景如画 (让晚风恍惚幻化)
院子里画沙 (摇晃着画着情花)
等最美的晚霞 等故事长大

用手中的流沙画一个你呀
才说过的永远 我们一定不会擦
我的青春开始在喧哗
因为大声说爱你 而沙哑

用手中流沙轻描着你的脸颊
也答应说好的未来 全部(不?)会重画
许过的承诺我脚步会在期待
因为我爱你呀

挑上脸 挑上花 有你的记忆干燥成瓶中沙
傻傻的 还想着你滴滴答答
擦美丽的指甲 喝你泡的茶
原来幸福可以这么优雅

爱过你的风沙 你的风沙 我一样值得你爱
管他风怎么刮 管雨又怎么下
回头过去原来 (别说傻)
回头不说一次 (值得吧)
我爱上这泪光 问你会不会爱我

这种景如画 (让晚风恍惚幻化)
院子里画沙 (摇晃着画着情花)
等我们的童话 等誓言落下

用手中的流沙画一个你呀
才说过的永远 我们一定不会擦
我的青春开始在喧哗
因为大声说爱你 而沙哑

用手中流沙轻描着你的脸颊
也答应说好的未来 全部(不?)会重画
许过的承诺我脚步会在期待
因为我爱你呀

用手中的流沙画一个你呀
才说过的永远 我们一定不会擦
我的青春开始在喧哗
因为大声说爱你 而沙哑

用手中流沙轻描着你的脸颊
也答应说好的未来 全部(不?)会重画
许过的承诺我脚步会在期待
因为我爱你呀 (因为我爱你呀)

Finally went to Gracie's house yesterday *u*

Her new house is sooooo pwetty, especially her dining table chairs. After a brief tour, we (Jeyran, Janice, Grace and I) started to play with her dog, Cookie. He's adorable! I had too much fun watching Janice trying to get him to sit on her command.

Then we got called in by her mom for some delicious snacks. The four of us devoured a plate of dumplings, a plate of bread, half a bottle of apple juice and some cheetos. The bread had amazingly soft texture.

After snacks, we were suppose to help Janice on her business assignment, but somehow ended up in the basement playing wii. I still suck in mario kart e_e After a disastrous round of leaf cup, we switched to playing brawl. At first, Jeyran was reluctant to play, but she turned out to be a beast at kirby. I'm not very good at brawl either, a complete failure at trying to get back on platforms. Pit's blue wings are so cheap, wish I could pluck them and put it on Ike xD Rest of the afternoon/evening was spent trying to side b everyone before I eventually fall to my death.

We're in the negatives already!
Although I didn't see any snow, the stray puddles of water on the road have turned into ice overnight. @_@

on a completely unrelated note: wheat crackers + ham + plain yogurt as topping is pure love <3

brunch: potato stew & rice



My asian take on Jamie Oliver's Potato and Leek soup.

Was going to make cabbage stew, but my mom threw the remaining cabbage out without telling me, so I had to resort to potatoes. I didn't have leeks either, so it turned more and more into a chicken soup with rice and potato replacing the noodles.
Very filling as well!

p&g

First session of JA today!

I speed walked to the p&g building thinking I was gonna be late. Turns out a little less than half of the people arrived more than 10mins after the meeting started. Tsk tsk, tardiness on the first day.

Went through the round of usual introductions, tried my best to look friendly during the people bingo xD Finally met the Alex Wu that I mistakenly added on fb, makes him the 3rd person with that exact same first&last name I know.

Rest of the meeting was more introduction stuff, info about the program etc. One thing that surprised me was the amount of people that wants to run for exec, almost everyone! Sigh, real world's competitive haha. Gonna try to be human resources or marketing/sales VP.

Form filling/speech writing time!

belated halloween

burrr.
Halloween night was freezing e_e. The wind made 5C feel like 0.

Melody and I, being such nice people, spent the night volunteering at unicef/cadbury haunted house. First we were distributing unicef bags to people in line. People were swarming around us as soon as we unpacked the bags. Despite us telling them the bags are for kids only, a whole bunch of adults grabbed bags. Thanks to them, 20ish boxes of bags ran out not even half way through.

The line was looooooong, it extended a big block from College all the way till Dundas. As the night dragged on, more and more people arrived. The police had to cut the line off so the event wouldn't drag into the 11:00s.

Mel and I were puzzled at why all these people would wait up to 2 hours, turns out at the end of the haunted house Cadbury was giving out handfuls of chocolate, at least 10 houses worth! As a thanks to the volunteers, Cadbury gave each of us one HUGEEE filled bag of chocolates & etc. The bag weighted more than all my textbooks combined @_@

On the subway back home, I met one of my teacher's daughter. Thankfully, she loved the chocolate and I was able to give half of my bag away. After existing the subway, I saw a classmate and proceed to give another quarter of my chocolate away. Even though there's only a quarter of the chocolates left, I highly doubt I'll ever finish them.
