how to determine the amount of rainfall that is still enjoyable

when the following does not happen within one minute,
1. looking like wet chicken
2. sheer psychological momentum to ruuuuuun
3. shoes start to feel moist
4. dripping drops of rain coming down the sides of your cheek
5. feeling dq blizzard ice cream could actually be warming
6. hearing impaired

ps: under the circumstance that umbrella and hoodies unavailable.

situation

zoned out and nappy.

shy and conservative.

magnet and indirect.

sun and rain.

moody and midnight.

confusion and text.

of all these situation, none are as mind boggling as this moment.

as the famous person said,

remember this feeling, its all a process.


damn the process, it hurts.

waiting for bus 7 on breezy summer night

wearing dresses and skirts every single day

sunscreen spf100 always in my purse

ice americano, in my guiness cup, with a straw please

see you again in ten months.

IFs

what if the sky is pink, the trees are purple and the sunset is blue.

what if cars are all the crazy shapes of batmobiles.

what if boys just tell you what is going on instead of pretending there isnt so they can ignore your feelings.

wicklow bikes

so, ivy suddenly made an Uey in the midst of cruising through the wicklow national park.
we went back to the Ducatis' parked by the road earlier,
i went up to the coolest hot red one and said
'hey i think your bike is sissy but I LOVE IT'
that was my dare from one of my lovely friends.
he even asked if i wanna go for a spin on it....

6/03/2010

rodo, greece.

5/27/2010

day one

the first day was a 20 hour flight, 2 connection, 1 stopover to Rodo, Greece. it once again confirmed to me that i hate flying. the little space in the plane is complete nightmare, the stopover at edmonton sucks with boredom, the transfer at london gatwick is full of security and lineups, and then finally, the last flight is toreture...

5/24/2010

day17-21

day 17
alright, here is what i remembered,
abe food processed his ramen soupbase and transformed it into western veggie soup with shreds of mozzarella cheese, which i brilliantly suggested. then the main was, and i quote, "veggie alfredo spaghetti"

day18
as always, i cheat it off with another twist to avoid the hours
i baked a potato and then mixed it with the alfredo sauce, shoved it in the freezer, then made it into korokke
along with mamalo's steam miso cod, veggies and purple rice
day19
now the goal of this day is to consume more of mama's food in the fridge..
so, i defrosted mama's tofu pocket thing and made the below with seaweed rousong rice stuffing and then, the other dish was suppose to be hundun with hot sauce, but the hot sauce was weird, lucky that at least the timing was great that abe just got back home :)
day 20
last day of home cooking:
Dinner Menu:
Buta Shabu Salad
Salmon Tataki
Daikon & Veggies Miso Soup
Pan Steamed Tin Foil Wrapped Salmon ♥

now, obviously, when its worded like that, with a heart in the end, its not me. abe and saya slaved since 3pm and i came home right on time to eat it.



day 21, the mama arival eve, we went zakkushi on 4th and drank
300ml of ume to start with, then came the 2L asahi.
jason got drunk. lol

5/18/2010

day 13-16

day 13
sushi take out from the small place on dunbar. we got a party tray with an order of tempura. this is the first time we took out food. we havent even gone out for dinner yet lol

day 14
we had our first potluck!!! ive invited shannon, who just got back from tw, and the usual gang, james, monica, and victor. apologies for getting the names wrong.
jaosn and vic put out the porch tables and chairs.
shannon and james brought 鹽酥雞, 甜不辣, and 痾阿煎.
monica and vic got 炒牛肉 and juice
jason cooked some rice for asian dishes before i got home
i did mix green salad with bell peppers and two kind of sauces, tuna corn mayo dip and sesame sauce tofu. oh, and i quickly did a jug of sangra with juice and a bottle of wine.
yes, i got home twenty minutes before they arrive, took a quick shower and then threw those things together in 15minutes.
good times good times. very relaxing, too bad we didnt go for dessert or the movie :(
ps: me and the brothers finish the espresso van gogh and bailey bottles in the fridge, which resulted me failing to wake up the next day for breakfast and lunch.

day 15
abe slaved for his ramen from scratch since he got off work. i got home an hour afterwards and waiiiiiiiiited for TWO hours. geezies, men and their ego pride.
the soup base was made from scratch of veggies and chicken. the toppings were boiled beforehand consisting of corn, peppers, celery, bamboo shoots, green onion and also slices of ham bought from stong's. there were also half boiled egg and cheese melts on top.

day 16
after three days of cheating it out, cooked some noodles i predefrozed in the fridge. made a random hot sweet sauce to go with it. turned out to be a nice cold dry noodle with kimchi and corns. i also heated the soup based from yesterday as a sidekick. :) (shhhh.... today's dinner is still cheating)

maybe tomorrow, we'll finish the red wine by doing beef stake with reduced red wine, then match it with some veggies.

Challenge Me

Hey everbody!
Ivy and me are going to Greece and Ireland from May 25th to June 15th.
We are challenging one thing each day. it can go from getting phone numbers to chucking 3 tequila to hitch hiking to sprinkling skittels & say "taste the rainbow". I'll be blogging on the trip, if possible, for your entertainment :)

first he says, "you got a nice complexion"
then after 5 minutes of chitchat
then he asks at the counter, "what do you wear?"
then i quickly reply "nothing much" BUT it came out so wrong...
ended with a red face and awkward smile...
