I actually spent some of my hard-earned cash to watch High School Musical 3: Senior Year last Sunday. It was okay, I suppose. The plot was rather teen-flick generic, but it had a lot of energy and atmosphere. The songs were better than HSM2. The ticket+snacks meant I was broke for the rest of the week. : D I bought a large fruit tart for me and YY to eat during lunch on Friday, though. Maybe every Friday I will buy a cake haha.
I’ve eaten a lot today. I had a roast dinner for lunch. Then my sister called me to go to eat Japanese food, so I had that. I had this really nice okayu. Okayu is basically this sort of rice porridge, called congee. We have in China as well, but okayu is a lot thicker than the Chinese variant. I can never get fed up of Japanese food. My parents went to a Buddhist festival earlier, so they brought me back noodles, which I’m devouring now. I’m going to wake up obese.
Currently listening to: 뷹은 노을 by Big Bang, from the album Remember.
I saw Mamma Mia! today. It was okay. The first half really irritated me, as the women in it were screaming for no real reason. Have you ever been to like, a food market or a fishmonger? There are usually people screaming “£1 FOR A BUNCH OF BANANAS.” The screaming was like that. I liked the second half though, as it was mainly just singing. Also, blasting classical music out of a car is so lolz. People stare at you when you walk past.
I got accepted into the Mandarin course! Yay. : D
Currently listening to: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Tori Amos, from the album Spark.
On Saturday, I went to the Korean Food Festival in New Malden. It was awesome. We bought so much food that it filled our table; there wasn’t much space on it left. I didn’t even know what half of what we got was, as we just randomly pointed at stuff that we thought looked good. I knew the name stuff that I eat all the time though! Like bulgogi, galbi, mandu and tteokbokki. There was a demonstration of taekwondo, and some little girls dancing to Honey by JYP. Of course, it would have made my day if someone danced to Tell Me by Wonder Girls. The dance to that song is so awesome.
Maybe I should have randomly burst out dancing to it. I’m sure someone would have joined me, as some people in the crowd were dancing to Honey.
Currently listening to: 요리왕 (COOKING? COOKING!) by Super Junior-Happy, from the album Cooking? Cooking!.
So something I like to do on a regular is make sushi. I last made it on Thursday, so I decided to take a few pictures of how it went and came out as.
First of all, I had to wash the rice. It’s a boring process, but at least my rice is clean when I eat it? XD

Midway through the washing process. The water is so cloudy.
Next, I make the seasoning with 2 parts rice vinegar, one part mirin and a little sugar. I forgot to burn the alcohol out of the mirin so my sushi tasted a bit like beer.

Yeah, we have a lot of bottles. We have two more cupboards full of various sauces. On the right-hand side of the picture, you can see my most favourite sauce in the world, tonkatsu sauce. It’s a bit like Worchestershire sauce, except it’s thick and sweet. It’s mainly used for topping on the dish tonkatsu, which is a breaded Japanese dish. I make that too. ^^

Is it normal that I keep changing what I want to do at university? Earlier, I was set on doing Japanese Studies and Politics. Now I’m leaning more towards Korean Studies with Japanese. It seems like a great way to learn two languages at once. I’ll admit that the year in Japan was like, the thing that compelled me to be interested in it. I’m pretty much over that now. XD A year in South Korea is now more appealing. I think it’s because if I follow my current career plan and sign up to the JET Scheme, I’m going to visit Japan anyway. Plus, when am I ever going to get a chance to learn Korean? If I take Korean Studies with Japanese, I can learn both!
Anyway, not much has really happened. My Geography coursework deadline was extended. Thank gosh for that. We also have a 4-day weekend! I’m so tired. XD I’m going to spend most of this weekend like, sleeping and eating. All week I’ve been eating the same lunch, which consists of rice, chicken katsu and sushi. Some days I added a shiitake mushroom to the mix. I’ve been taking it to school with me. I even wrap it in a furoshiki (which is basically a square cloth you can wrap and fold to hold things). It makes me look like a hobo. ^^
