This entry is kind of long since it covers the past few days of my neglecting this thing!!
But to compensate there are some pretty pictures in here!! I promise =D
april 17th
exam day
had delicious chicken wings for dinner after late night exam, however I awesomely fell, err rather tripped on Peter's black shoes. It was pitch black, my boots are black too and I was wearing dark grey socks that weren't all the way knee high, so my knees are scratched pretty badly. The wound keeps opening and re-closing throughout the night despite the polysporin, or whatever it was that Victoria helped apply on it. Oh gosh so bloody awful!!
April 18th
Since it was saturday and my knees were all covered up in gauze to begin with, I decided to wear my winter thigh high black socks on top of my black panty hose. It kept the gauze in place, and also allowed me to move, despite hurting. If I bent my right leg too much it would BURN WITH FURY!
(Lily and I. I'm in the Pink, Lily's got the glasses, picture taken by our friend Andrew)
Went to KBBQ with Lily and Andrew. Lily surprised me and talked me into going to korean BBQ somewhere around midland and whatever. There's a dessert place nearby that I LOVE because it serves Chinese desserts my grand ma likes to make. It's called "Double Ming's". It's a play on words because in Chinese it's YOON MING YOON 圓明圓. It's pretty awesome that you can read it backwards and forwards. 圓明園 is phonetically what it's named after, a garden that is also known as the Old Summer Palace via Wikipedia.

http://m.weblocal.ca/double-ming-chinese-dessert-scarborough-on.html I love Chinese desserts, with ginger, brown sugar, sesame filling made from rice flour, guess the Japanese equivalent would be something with dango, only HOT and in soup!! So moist and burning *o*. Also comes in peanut and red bean fillings. My grand ma used to make them every morning for me.
Also tarot desserts, with tarot and hasma sweet soups. Hasma is kind of like tapioca, except not clumped together, since it's floating in smooth coconut milk..
Aghh just thinking about this makes my mouth water.
I also like mustache candy, though it's meant to be Dragon's Whisker's Candy, I've grown up calling it mustache candy. It's basically like Cotton Candy but in long thin strands that resemble a mustache rolled up with peanut and sugar filling. SO GOOD.. SOOO GOOOOOOD
Anyway Korean Barbeque was pretty awesome
The FACE gahaha.. Oh gosh, the sweet potatoes took forever to grill but they were still good ahaha..
April 19th
I did my nails. I felt extra womanly when they were done. I put strawberry decals on them. It felt good to do so. I'm really rannndomm~!! Oh and I did some readings for classes. I think I watched Moyashimon while translating it into Chinese to Dad, to show anime can be educational!! Look at how Sake is made dad!!
I tend to down a shot or more.. of Sayuri Cream Sake when I'm having udon downtown at my friend's Udon restaurant, manpuku. It's opened by Sid and Saki. It's one of the few Japanese owned and run restaurants in Ontario. Usually they're Chinese owned and everyone speaks Chinese in the kitchen. Manpuku is awesome because of the takoyaki though, I loveee the takoyaki and takosen. Otherwise, I also like their niku-don!!
Gosh this entry is full of food. I should do my next entry specifically about manpuku. I'll post images too of the delicious nomnomables.
Here's their site for those interested:
http://manpuku.ca/ So yeah my dad is now diabetic, so anytime people give us nice expensive wines as Christmas gifts or whatever, I'm the one downing it all so he doesn't.
I've since taken a liking to pouring ice wine in spoon fulls over my strawberries. It tastes really good, sometimes I'll add a hint of honey, or when I can't find honey or sugar I'll add marmelade. It sounds crazy, but it's delicious.
My late night snacks for the past few weeks have been jello, I've been trying out Chinese jellos that I had as a kid, my grand ma used to get them sent over, now they're readily available thanks to T and T supermarket.
Jello flavours like Lychee and Almond are delicious. I use the Almond to make apple shaped jello recently, unfortunately I've pretty much eaten most of them, but I'll see if I can take pictures later.
April 20
Played around with my external, deleted some things like Trinity Blood, since I've since purchased the legit version. it's really pretty, I love Trinity Blood to bits, I also am following the novels released by Tokyo-Pop. So I'm pretty in love with the story in both formats, hoping to buy the manga at AN, the Anime North convention I've been attending every year since I started university.
I did some readings and doodling too, watched the Chinese movie "Love at First Note". Didn't finish though mom was kind of left partway, so I figured I'd wait till she came home to watch with her.
April 21st (Today)
Nani Mai Hunni (Code Geass reference), wanted me to come over today, so I did. I also left with him my "Prinny: D00d can I be the hero too?" psp game with him, so I wouldn't play it during exams, also because he's got my psp. I was going to leave a few other games with him too, but I figure because my DS isn't charged it'd be alright.
He's really quiet, I like the fact he listens. He talks a little bit bout the games frustrating him like yggdra union, and the prinny game, also disgaea (Laharl is too high level so his party is relatively unbalanced and he doesn't want to start over again.. the psp version is pretty nice since it's got dual audio and additional Etna storyline).
We went to East Side Marios for lunch. I couldn't finish my food... *sighs* my appetite is too small!!!!
He was very cute though, drove me to shoppers to buy more stuff for my knees....
Anyway now I'm gonna head to dinner before I get back to studying!! wheee
The Awesome wuz here
