Om Nom Nom.

Haha, it seems like everyone's using this phrase now. I wonder why? Where did it originate from? Like some tv show or something?? Anybody who knows please enlighten me!

Anyway, this is another food post! I'm posting alot of food pictures recently because I've been cooking! One, to clear food stock before I head back so as to save the hassle of moving so many unnecessary food items; and two, to save money. After lending Kegan 300,000yen I feel utterly broke. I have lots more pictures but I picked these few cos I've something to say about them!


This looks rather disgusting, I know. It's called "高野豆腐 (kouya tofu)”, which is dehydrated tofu. You gotta rehydrate when you cook it - it swells to twice its size. Then cook it in soya sauce, mirin, dashi (the things I use in almost all my dishes). This one has egg on it.



This was my dinner today! Spammed lots of Korean Chilli on onions, carrots, long beans and mushrooms. Yummy! Two thumbs up ((:


When breakfast gets too boring... my inventions haha! My current favourite breakfast menu. The one on the left is nutella with almond nuts for the extra crunch and on the right is actually an idea stolen from Toast Auntie in St Nicks - Chicken Floss Cheese. I can still vividly remember ordering it. I want to eat the Toast Auntie's waffles ): Can we go back to St Nicks in March, girls?



Ta-da! Big thanks to Ruth for this recipe! White chocolate with oreos! I added almonds cos I'm an almond-freak lah. But it really turned out sinfully awesome, so thank you again! :D

Side-Note: Speaking of which, I'm superbly happy I can finally attend one of my friend's 21st! Yay! And I thought I'd be missing out on all the action. Can't wait! ((:

I'll have you know that I made it to two full days of school. I think I can only keep this behaviour up towards the end of the week. But thinking about it, I only have 3 more weeks in this school, so I guess I should just make the extra effort despite of the boring lessons. 3 more weeks.. it's so unreal. One whole year has passed just like that. Next phase would be university which is nothing but a blop of grey matter to me as of now.

And fact is, life is actually not so boring afterall. I was sighing with relief today after I've finished my speech that I've been dreading for the past few weeks (turned out better than expected, thank God) while thinking that I've nothing else to fear/dread until uni starts. But I realised that 'tis was not so.

Marching forward to:
1. University Interview (Feb 15)
2. Final Sem Exams (Feb 22 ~ 24)
3. Home Sweet Home (Feb 24 ~ Mar 19)
4. Hong Kong & Guangzhou Trip (Feb 26 ~ Mar 1)
5. BestFriend's 21st (Mar 13)
6. Moving Day (Mar 25)
7. Start of University (Apr 1~)

Many farewells to be said soon. Goodbye to Tokyo Japanese Language Education Center, Goodbye to YoungSang who's leaving for Korea, Goodbye to Kegan who's moving to Osaka, Goodbye to everything and everyone current and Hi to new people, new environment, new school.

Have I mentioned how much I hate goodbyes?

Yeah, I really do. Hate starting over. But life's like this - full of changes. I guess noone can really say life's boring in all honesty.

Getting out of Tokyo tomorrow and the day after! Going to visit my homestay family in Hamamatsu :D

TGIF (:

Have an awesome weekend, ya'll (:
