brunch: zesty baked yams with miso soup

plus other foods in the previous week


Purple yams! *u*
Seasoning consists of olive oil, star anise, lemon juice&zest, ginger and s&p. Mmm, the star anise gives it a nice kick haha. This would make a good cook-up-a-whole-batch-on-weekend thing.


Miso souppp.
I always end up adding too much tofu and not enough miso paste ._."

Last Wednesday's (lunch for people over studying):

Mooooore miso! This time with the addition of noodles, easy-over egg, and spinach.
Again, didn't add enough miso, I feel bad feeding Janice/Nick underseasoned food ._." Must make something better next time!

Last week's brunch:

Bagel with meaty scrambled egg, blueberries and tomato.
Used up leftovers in the fridge.

and last but not least, chocochip meringue cookies!

Doesn't it look like a pizza? XD
Me likey much better than regular chocochip cookie. Just gotta up the amount of meringue next time, barely covered the cookie.
I'm very proud that I hand creamed the sugar and butter, it's actually enjoyable now. "smooooosh, smoooooooosh". Makes me feel all nice and calm afterwards haha. Also attempted hand whipping egg whites, that didn't turn out so well.
Gonna bring some of this to school on monday *u*

kino no tabi

^go watch that if you haven't. Very thought provoking, or at least eye opening. Art's beautiful as well, soooo many great wallpapers on animepaper.net *u*
Why'd I suddenly mention that? Cause a quotation from it is being used as a little blurb for my tumblr. (I feel the need to shamelessly self promote).

Also, I'm officially lauching my test blog (idea thanks to Kenn)! Blog's had this design for waaaay too long, mainly cause I like it too much xD

KARMATIC.

dun dun dunn. I'm sure Janice will love the title.
Started working on it the day before science exam. Bad time to start, but I needed to clear my head for the night. Tweaking it here and there in between studying for exams, aka now, when I should be reviewing history notes, oh well.
Templet's based off Whiteness-3c from quiterandom.com. I modified the header, sidebars, other stuff, etc. Should learn how to code from scratch haha. Look forward to seeing it implemented by end of this month?

lastly, I'd like to state that I incorporated Michael Jackson into my english exam essay. It gives me a (false) sense of security that I'll get a good mark.

om nom nom not.

Today was another trip to the dentist's office.
But before that, science exaaaam, oh jooooy e_e"

The exam covered a lot less than I expected, a lot of the stuff I studied was no where to be found. Recognized most of the m/c questions from review sheets from various classes. That said, I'm still not sure about how much I got wrong. The acid/base question, some people say it's neutralization, I disagree (austin and alex agree with me on this). It's....sodium carbonate (Na2CO3?) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Definitely a double displacement, right? So far so good? Na2CO3 + 2HCl -> 2NaCl + H2CO3? Salt and Bicarbonate? Pretty sure I'm righhhht @_@

Since I had dentist a few hours afterwards, I followed Austin and Alex to the library with the intention of studying history. Some work actually got done XD Eaaaaasy 9 marks! I better do well on the history exam, must not screw social sciences over!

Now to the rant.
I now have a gap wide enough to fit my tongue through between my upper and lower teeth. Why? Cause my teeth kept biting the lower wire off (the longest time it lasted was 2 days). Without the wire, teeth won't align properly, so on and so on. So now I can't chew at all. It's a handicap as bad as like...only having 1 finger on a hand (a slight exaggeration). It's like swapping your entire set of teeth for 2 pebbles to grind food between, not fun. Also extremely awkward looking when I smile "orz
Guess my menu for this month will be entirely consisted of congee.

In and Outs

School's out.
Exams are in.

Yearbook comments are in.
Sleep, unfortunately, is out. Oh why must I have problems falling asleep right before exams start "orz
Though this year I lack the motivation and care to study extremely well. I just know that I'll make some idiotic mistake and get a mediocre mark. I'm unsatisfied with my business summative mark, sure I didn't put a lot of efforts in, but the reasons that marks were taken off are really stupid (for the lack of a better word.) My group's game was really engaging and fun, but we only got 14/20 cause we should have not changed the rules to adapt to the situation -o-
ah whatever.

go go go go.

moleeeeeeskin *u*

Notebooks = love.
Moleskin = extra loveee.

~_~

blahh.
Almost done with summatives. yay.

I juuuuust waaaaant toooo sleeeeeeep.

byebye science and business mark, we had a good time.
that means I'll have to study extra hard for exams, aka byebye sleep as well.
refer to line 3.

oh noes.

something more enjoyable than my rant:

GEB!

foreveeeeeeeee.

first off: happy birthday Alex! Difficult person you are.
Got him a card with the most white space, yet we still managed to fill it over the top. Janice, Soph, and Donna had the write on the front and back covers xD
I make a conscience effort to be nice on birthdays.

Civics center is lotsa laughs. Ice cream bars hahahaha. Its like a repeat of the situation all over again. Should go there more often haha.

Another thing that made me smile today: futureme.org
Really entertaining seeing how the 'weijie' of a year ago thought, usually very different from the current 'weijie'. Ch-ch-ch-change! k no, not that song. In retrospect, I blow everything out of proportion, evident in me not getting the references that I made myself.
If Grace still goes on the computer, she would laugh at this: caaaaaaaaaaat.
haha no.

I shall work on summatives while still feeling motivated :]
yeah, go send an email to the 'you' in a year! You'll be surprised at how warm and fuzzy it feels to read 'em.
