Whoa haha can’t believe comments were still coming in during March!

Anywhoo, my old laptop has officially passed on [4-5 years old, I think!], so I’m using a rented one.

Posting will resume once end of April hits!
Good luck with exams and whatever else dudes!

My laptop crashed on Monday!

Therefore no entries until it’s fixed.

On the other hand–I now kinda know what I want to do with my life, so yay!

Question: What do you want to do with your life?

It’s awesome how I’m developing a new hobby now in the middle of the busiest school year ever.

Jan 19

pancake: quick & rolled oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, banana, cinnamon, ground ginger, coffee powder, flax, cream cheese

Ta da!

I added milk in my coffee–but the milk wasn’t properly mixed

I wish I had more colorful spoons and plates and whatnot! That’s something I look forward to once I graduate and find a job [hopefully!]

Jan 18

Dinner:

Strawberries!! <3

Strawberries + chocolate = even better!

I like how this turned out! Although the sandwich could have been placed a little more to the center…oh well!

I’m getting worse and worse at updating!

Jan 12

oatmeal, peanut butter, banana, flax, cinnamon, coffee, ground ginger, milk

I haven’t been very creative with my oatmeal ingredients lately–so I thought I’d get creative with the food presentation! Food photography is quickly becoming my way of procrastinating That and watching pokemon!

Jan 17 – dinner:

Noodle salad + lime dressing

Bought it from the tuck shop! Noodle salads are the best! Really fills my craving for noodles and asian food <3

Jan 18:

Whole wheat bread + cream cheese

One big difference this semester: I no longer eat oatmeal everyday! It is so weird…but I washing a plate of bread crumbs is easier than washing a bowl with oatmeal bits stuck in it~

Off to watch some more pokemon! [No, I actually don't have time to watch TV--but I do it anyway because I'm secretly masochistic ]

I have not been able to put my camera down ever since I discovered how the closeup shots work!

Jan 7

Breakfast:

Microwaved pancake!

First pancake of the year!

oatmeal (mix of quick oats & organic rolled oats), unsweetened coconut, peanut butter, milk, cinnamon, ground ginger, flax

+ huge Fuji apple.

I wanted to toss the apple in the pancake–but I only had a plastic knife and those aren’t very good at apple cutting–too bad–because cooked apples go really well with pancakes! I’m so tempted to go and buy a real knife…

Jan 8 breakfast:

Mini blueberry bran muffins–nicked from the caf!

+ 1 egg

I’m really digging having muffins for breakfast! But it feels weird not to eat oatmeal everyday–have gotten so used to it ever since I started this blog!

Jan 9 dinner:

YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN ABOUT THE CLOSEUP SHOTS?!

Why can’t I be addicted to studying instead of random things like taking pictures of food?!!?

Last breakfast at home [this was a few days ago--jan3]

oatmeal, banana, black & white chocolate chips, cinnamon, almond extract, almonds, milk

WILL MY BREAKFAST EVER LOOK THIS GOOD AGAIN?!

Maybe I’ll wake up earlier so I’ll have time to cook the oatmeal on stovetop–the boiling water method makes oatmeal so ugly

More pictures just for good measure! I miss being home already…AND I JUST GOT BACK TO SCHOOL -headdesk-

I guess it’s not so much being home as having enough time to go to the grocery store…but my parents aren’t here! [And just for good measure--I also miss being able to play Guitar Hero everyday]

Still jetlagged. It always takes me a while to adjust to the time difference. Booo because I want to go to the gym! I have too much energy Can’t sit still in class! That’s why I always sit in the front row in lectures, ’cause I keep crossing and uncrossing my legs and I need room to fidget

Toast again! + Cake January 3, 2009

Yesterday:

Garlic Toast!

+ almonds & peanuts

And oatmeal smoothie! Except I was running low so the whole thing probably contains 10% oatmeal.

oatmeal, coffee, cottage cheese, milk, rice milk, cinnamon, banana, frozen berries

It’s like a fruity, chewy latte

I also baked a green tea cake:

I haven’t baked in a while! But I’m glad it turned out well–could have been a bit more moist though…maybe more milk and/or less oven-ing next time.

Snack:

MY FIRST HOMEMADE LATTE!

[and mom's mochi to the side--one has red beans filling, one has peanuts! Yummeh]

The new year is already exciting!

I took a bunch of pictures ’cause I was so excited, but I’m not goint to post all of them here I’m thinking of creating a flickr account so I can store my random pictures somewhere!
