I Miss...

I had a dream where I was at my paternal grandma's house, and we were talking about talking over MSN.. Damn high-tech man, if grandparents have MSN too..

Then I was supposed to add myself to her contact list cos she didn't know how to do it.. And then the funny thing was that I couldn't find the computer in her house! Hahahaha.

While searching for where the computer might be, I remember flashbacks of her house, especially the TV cupboard.. And also the "bedroom".. That's about all I remember..

My fondest memories growing up have always been at my grandma's house, even at the tiny age of 2-4 or something like that, in Hong Kong.. I cling on to these memories which comes flooding back occasionally out of nowhere and I am so afraid that I will forget them one day..

I think the person I miss most at this point in time, and probably the last few years as well, would be my grandmother.. How I wish I can just see her and throw myself into her arms again, seeing her jolly smile...

This dream makes me miss her even more...

My professor knows me by name and remembers my request for office hours and sends me an email on his own apologizing that he can't make it! This is one prof that I wouldn't like to whack on the head; can't say for sure about the others! ;)

Dreams are made of these...

I had several strange dreams last night.

I dreamt that I lost my HK identity card.. *touchwood!!!* probably cos I lost my UBC card and have been going crazy applying for the HKSAR passport..

I dreamt that I was horseback riding, on a beautiful strip of sand with oceans on both sides, and it was a wonderful purple, orange, yellow sunset all around me, felt so calm and serene and I was surprised I could actually ride a horse properly, albeit it was a REAL live horse with weird wooden "controls" instead of reins..

This dream was probably because I had seen some sunsets recently, and saw someone's horseback riding pictures yesterday or something.. Also dreamt that we (dunno with who) went horseback riding and did not get lost and got back safely, another surprising thing.. LOL..

Also dreamt something about modelling (damn random) but I wasn't one of the models, because someone was calling me about meeting up to do assignment and I had nearly forgotten about it.. This person was likely to be Robin since he called me to ask if I had completed the assignment on Sunday.. LOL..

See I can't differentiate between dreams and reality again.. Sigh stress time!!!

A Letter...

To Roommate #4:

Why can't you just simply clean up after yourself? I'm sick of seeing the counter littered with coffee powder, especially near your BIG space-wasting COFFEE MAKER which you only use like, once a week or less anyway.

And this morning I watch you prepare a sandwich and after that there are bread crumbs ALL OVER THE COUNTER... The dustbin is right there so can't you just at least SWEEP all the crumbs INTO the bin? Is it that hard??? Gosh..

Seeing the coffee powder on the floor was the worst.. You know you are the only one who makes coffee like this in this house, and obviously we all know YOU spilled it.. It's UNDER the bin somehow, and can't you just pick it up??? What's with leaving your coffee powder EVERYWHERE.. I haven't even counted the times it has spilled onto my pot lids..

And last week was YOUR turn to take out the garbage. True that you are not home much, but when you are actually home, you don't even do your duty to simply empty the garbage and I HAD TO TO IT FOR YOU when it was overflowing! Don't just pretend you are not here, just because you treat this place like a hotel and you only come home to SLEEP and SHOWER.

I HATE YOU.

Lots of HATE,
Roommate #2

A Lifetime Desire

One of my lifetime goals...

I don't want to reveal it. Until I finally achieve it.

I know the Internet has pictures, but I want to see and feel it for myself..

I can only imagine how magnificent it will be. How lovely it would be, to be surrounded by one of nature's most amazing miracles...

For now, I can only dream... And maybe save up to attain this goal...

I wait each and every day longingly, until the time comes when I can finally experience the magic.

Chocolate Brownies!!

Brownies are by far the most decadent chocolate dessert ever!

And surprisingly easy to make!

I just followed the recipe on the back of the bag of chocolate chips and halved the recipe but added 15 minutes of baking time because my dish was deeper.

And it rose up like a souffle and sank back down again, lookin more like a moon crater.

I tried portioning it into small sliced but it was gooey and moist inside and crunchy on the top so basically it fell apart and I have a tupperware full of brownie mini cubes and crumbs.

And I'm finishing the crumbs on a dish. With a spoon.

Sigh it's greasy. And super chocolaty. I have to make brownies again. Note to self: Must add nuts next time.

But it will be next (school) year. Because if I open a new pack of 1kg chocolate chips I will never be able to finish it by end of April.

Mmmmm. Chocolaty.

Love love love

I am falling in love all over again.

With Meteor Garden.

Not exactly, more like the KOREAN version of Meteor Garden.

The die-hard romantic flame in me has rekindled and I feel so touched just watching the sweet actions of JunPyo, where in Episode 5 he dresses her wounds and gives her a kiss while she's asleep..



Times like these make me wonder if true love is real... Or whether fairytales come true...
