Appetite
mood: HUNGRY
I think it really is true that whenever I'm stressed and/or sick, I lose my appetite. After the exam period and after having almost completely recovered from my illness, which means almost two to three weeks of not really feeling like eating, I'm STILL hungry now after having eaten a pastry and three dishes - half a croissant (because unfortunately the other half got burnt since I'm not used to the new microwave that the BGP staff replaced our old one with even though it was working perfectly fine), mushrooms with cheese, tamagoyaki and rice with furikake. I can't figure out what else to eat, though, and I REALLY don't want to cook something again since it's a pain to keep going to the kitchen to whip up something. *sigh*
Speaking of food, I really should go research up on some easy packed lunches to make. My packed lunches are getting boring... [Karma: 0 (+/-)][link] [162 Comments]

Christmas 2007 celebrations!
mood: Have a sore throat that's making my ears itchy. :(
This is an extremely backlogged entry, since it's been sitting on my harddrive since a few days after Christmas. XD People adverse to walls of text *looks pointedly at Dee Mok and Ga Mok*, please avoid at all costs. :p
I had a great Christmas this year! It was probably the first time I ever had a real proper present-swapping thing with my friends, where we all got each other a gift. (Though we did end up pooling our resources on some gifts for each other) A Mok also came down from London to join us, so it was the first full Mok Mok gathering we've had since school started. We had so much fun, in fact, that we ended up having a three night sleepover at La Mok's room - I think that's the longest sleepover I've ever had. :p Not to mention we all totally wrecked our sleeping schedules since we slept at around 7am the first day, around the same time on the second, and for the third we just stayed up all the way until it was time to send A Mok off at the train station for her 12.40pm train. :p
We also had a semi-proper Christmas dinner, since we actually bought a whole chicken to roast - and of course Ga Mok (the best cook amongst us all) was the one who prepared the chicken, even though she'd never done it before and had just looked up for instructions on how to do so online. :) I made some tofu cheesecake for dessert, though it ended up a bit TOO tofu-y since we didn't have a weighing scale and so it wasn't as nice as I wanted it to be. (Even though I've made this recipe quite a few times, the past three times I've made it it hasn't turned out as well as I wanted it to - the past two times it was kind of grainy because the gelatin didn't melt properly. *sniffles*) There was also a bit of miscommunication between me and Ga Mok while we were in the kitchen (it was getting a bit hectic since EVERYONE was crammed into our tiny kitchen and there were... *counts* seven of us in a kitchen that's really meant for two) and I ended up accidentally throwing the side dish of mushrooms and carrots into the bin thinking it was trash, but thankfully since it was securely wrapped in aluminium foil, we managed to fish it out and rescue it... and yes, it tasted fine. :p
The REAL reason behind this post, though, is because I want to be ego and show off all the lovely presents I got for Christmas. XD [More...] [Karma: 4 (+/-)][link] [12 Comments]
