The Sinking Phone


Finally I can throw this phone into the ocean and watch it sink in the blink of an eye. ヽ(´ー`)ノ Please don't let this photo hypnotise you into buying this phone. ( ´_ゝ`)This phone has brought me nothing but problems which words can't describe. ( ´Д`) Getting rid of this phone is like a breath of fresh air. (^_^) I upgraded my contract this week so now I can officially start using my new phone. ヽ(´▽`)/

No Food Posioning


...especially if I'm the one who's cooking. (^_^) For the past 5 weeks I've been taking cooking lessons. Monday was my last lesson which was sad because I felt like I only just begun cooking. ( ´,_ゝ`) On my last lesson I learned to cook Vegetable Stroganoff and made fresh tagliatelle. I don't think I'll make fresh pasta again because buying it from the supermarket will save a lot of time. (^_^) The dish tasted OK but was missing one major ingredient and that is MEAT. ヽ(`Д´)ノ Sorry to all the vegetarians out there but I struggle to eat a main meal without meat. I know it's bad but the feeling is like eating an ice-cream cone without ice-cream. (-_-) Maybe one day I'll find the light and become a vegetarian but until that day comes I'll continue to eat what my body craves for. ( ゚ ヮ゚)。oO( ...MEAT )

Long Time No Post

I haven't posted for a long time because I've been really busy. My teaching career in S. Korea has been postponed to February 2010. I'll start posting again from next week. (^_^)

What's Cooking?

It's been a long time since I last post so I decided to finally post today just in case anyone thought I was dead. (X_X) I've been busy working and doing a lot of random things lately. Last week I went to a free Japanese lesson with a few of my friends last week. One of friends is an intermediate level in speaking Japanese and to see her speak so fluently to the teacher really inspired me to study harder at Korean. (^_^)

A couple of days ago I went for a cooking lesson because food is my passion and I've wanted to learn how to cook for a long time. Before I went for the lesson, I and my friend were given the choice to a selection of dishes from a set menu. The dishes we chose were 'Malaysian Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup', 'Green Thai Curry' and 'Thai Pineapple Fried Rice.'

I thought the soup tasted OK but it could have been better if the texture was more thick.

The taste of fresh curry is a lot better than the curry paste you can buy from supermarkets. What surprised me was it doesn't actually take a long time to make which means one day eating out might be history for me. ( ゚Д゚)

Fried rice is a really versatile dish so you can add different meats and vegetables to the dish. I always thought that fried rice required a lot of oil to make so I assumed it was an unhealthy dish. After making the dish myself I realised it can be a healthy dish if used with the right ingredients. (^_^)

Attending the cooking lesson has really inspired me to cook more. If a teaching position is not available for me in Seoul within the next 2 months then I'll plan to go to cooking school in September. (^_^)
