brunch: dduk gook with popovers

dduk gook modified from thekitchn
(tk: tell me if it's authentic?)

As the popovers were baking in the oven, I realized I didn't have any daikon. Thankfully there was a pot of chicken stock in the fridge (note to future self: in case this happens in my future dinner parties, always keep chicken stock on hand). That actually saved me 20mins of time since I didn't have to make the stock from scratch. Rest of the process was all good, I threw in some cabbage for a slight nutritious value.

Taste wise it's a bit bland, which I should have guessed since this isn't suppose to be eaten as the main dish xD Oh well, nothing black pepper cannot fix.

One thing that I absolutely detest about living in high rise buildings is the goddamn fire alarm. For some unknown reason, 3 alarms occurred in the span of 2 days. Both of them were on the forth floor, only 1 was actually a fire, small kitchen fire. The remaining 2 is just....PAIN.

that's wicked.

3 multiply 7, oh it's 24.

Had to wait for Janice afterschool today.
Roy and Alex were mean and ditched us for a free cookie at subway.

In the 1 and half hour that I waited, I learned how to turn film into nice 6 x 4 prints ;D So first you put the film between the plates, then stick that into the machine, then set the exposure (3.0 times whatever looks the best from the test strip). Slip the photopaper (man they're expensive, $1 per), into the frame, position the frame and press the start button. blahblahblah (that's probably what this paragraph looked like) blah blah blah developer 1min, stop bath 15sec, fixer 2min, rinse with water blah blah blah.

Yeah it's pretty cool, despite all the complaining and glares that I gave Janice. Sigh, why aren't more of my friends guiltable.

crunch time

School just started and this is what I got:

-Tech handtools test: must get over 90% on this else I don't get to use power tools
-History presentation: poster making @_@
-Science test
-Business assignment: this one's pretty easy
(thats something to do for all 4 periods on day 1)

-English seminar: I wonder how we will ever finish this
-Civics assignment: easy to lose marks on, have to be super specific
-Civics test: gonna do not so well on this due to reflection questions e_e"
-Civics final: 'nuff said.
(woah civics makes up for all the classes that I don't have evaluations in ;_;)

I'm sad...and overworked.

resolution #1: sleep more

First day back from school was decent, hurray for not falling asleep in class (rofl david hahaha). Had quite an insightful discussion in tech, pesa's cool :] managed to get 0.5 extra on my history quiz (teacher wasn't very good at counting up marks) and science was nice xD

I've decided to start with my resolutions. I chose the goal of sleeping more since it will benefit me all year long (not that others won't, but meh). A huge reason is because I'm pretty much dead in school. First period I'm waking up, second period I become hungry and sleepy, third and forth period I become sleepy again cause I ate, fifth period I just wanna get home and sleep e_e" Getting more sleep will also (hopefully) contribute to my physical growth and clearing of complexion.

specs:
goal: I will lay down on my bed with the lights off and nothing in my ears (meaning ipod earbud) by 11:00pm.
trigger: going to bed
baby steps: 1) make a mental note of the time starting from 10:00pm
...................2) don't start anything new by 10:15pm
...................3) shut off the computer by 10:30pm
...................4)sleep before 11 ;D
(I know the method says 8 steps, but 4's enough. 1 per half a month)

gogogo me!

(500) days of summer

Watched it yesterday, what a gloomy way to end the year haha.



A very smart break up movie :]

The events that happen are pretty realistic but oh so entertaining. "I don't want to forget about her, I want to get her back." Great character development too, nice to see Tom (main character) grow up from obsessive to (dare I say) wise as the 500 days pass. The ending is satisfying as well, so punny that the girl he met at the end is named Autumn.

I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a romantic comedy that's a tad unconventional.
