The unexpected happened

Today I went and met up with the SAM members after my lecture

But before that I went to get my Crimonology assessment back and I passed! Apparently my way of referencing was unusual, but overall I had good feedback (need to work on the introduction though...)
But since I passed, I don't really need to change anything :D

anyways...
I went and met up with the SAM members and then went to hang out at one of the members room since he lived in the Halls opposite the Uni (so convenient, why didn't they let me live there instead of half an hour away =_=")
We ended up looking up random kpop and jpop/jrock MVs, talked a lot about crazy things, half-watched Resident Evil: Damnation, and ordered Dominoes XD
It was a lot of fun, pretty much messed around most of the time (showed them a bit of fanservice yaoi-style ;D)
And then the kind leader (who also paid for the pizza) walked me home since it was pretty dark by the time we left

Got home, had shower, and when I checked facebook I got a message from one of the guys (it's amazing how, back at my hometown I hung out with mostly girls and now that I'm at Uni all my friends are guys?)
The message shocked me a lot
And I mean a lot
I mean it took me ages to even get out of the shock
The guy was frickin asking me out o.O
It might seem normal to some people, but for me, who has never really been asked out (well since I was pretty much too socially awkward around guys 2 years ago to even get to interact properly with guys...) it was a shocker
Then I stupidly asked him if he'd been fraped lol XD
Apparently he was serious
And then I started to panic
And texted my best friend and she thankfully helped me think more clearly
I met the guy like 3-4 times over the last 3 weeks or so?
It was definitely a surprise (what does he see in me lol XD)
But anyways, I tried to tell him that we need to get to know each other more (thanks to the advice of my best friend)
And apparently he's "afraid of competition" pfftt....like there's gonna be suddenly a line of guys wanting to go out with me all of a sudden XD (not a chance)

Gonna meet the SAM people on Friday for Hyper Japan
I'm gonna try and not be awkward around him
I know I'll end up being awkward around him
And knowing me, I would end up ignoring the poor guy
I really hope I don't though...
He is a nice guy...but...I'm just not used to these kind of things D:
A socially awkward person who miraculously became comfortable with talking to guys once at Uni is already a miracle for me!

I'm going to sleep and sleep on it...

Finally joined a club/society

Well I have joined for a while but it was only until yesterday where we actually had an official meeting (not counting the Expo day)
And it was pretty awkward at first, like, when doing the introductions at the front and stuff
Then we watched an episode of Beccano! which was...interesting, but seriously confused the hell out of me OTL
An episode (well two actually) of Gintama followed next, which were both hilarious and totally enjoyed all the references (lol at Tokimeki memo) XD

That was pretty much it XD

But then aftwerwards, one of the members wanted to celebrate her birthday which was on wednesday, by all going out to a buffet
I prepared money before but I wasn't sure whether I wanted to go or not, but then when I saw quite a few were going (and the ones that I met before were also going) I decided, I might as well have a bit of a social life
So I got to know a few of the members along the way to Camden Town (which was where the buffet they wanted to go to was), one or two members disappeared, probably because they were going home instead of joining us

I must say...going was definitely the best choice I made since I came to Uni
It was so fun and hilarious, I swear, I haven't laughed so much since I came to Uni, heck, I haven't had so much fun in a while...
I didn't even complain about the food (which was meh..) or how expensive it was (£8 for what was available was...). I mean, even a glass of TAP water was 50p, I mean really? Isn't tap water meant to be free? jeez...
But other than the food it was really fun and it was nice to be just around people who had the same interest and humour as me

After the buffet we went walking around a bit and then saw a women getting whipped in public which was...
It looked like it hurt a lot! And I was squirming and cringing just hearing the whip...(>_<)
We soon left (as quickly as possible) and then ended up in a pub
I personally wanted to go home, but I didn't want to leave by myself, so I tagged along
And it was really awkward for me...I have been to pubs before, but it was only for parties or calvaries or something XD
So I was just stood there, not knowing what to do, and then one of the members handed me a Breezer, and I thought "why not?"
I guess I always give the impression of being someone who doesn't drink, but I don't mind, I just choose not to want to drink - especially in large amounts - I have drank before (even had shots XD) But my mum doesn't know this... XD

One of the guys had to submit their coursework at midnight so we left at 11pm (unfortunately he couldn't submit it even thought he still had 5 minutes left? something wrong with the system or something)
One of the other members also lived near me so we got of the same stop, and I was grateful, even though the station wasn't far away from the Halls, I am still uneasy about walking by myself at night...(>_<)

But it was definitely fun!
It didn't feel like we were celebrating a birthday (though we did sing Happy Birthday to her)
And I can't wait for our next meet up next week :D

I'm sorry... (T_T)

I said I would post more
...but I haven't OTL
And I do think about it but can never get myself to post _A_


Cooked chilli con carne today and it came out really nice ~3~

Although I thought I almost lost my GCSE recipes for it
I remember burning them all on a disk before formatting my laptop, but for some reason I couldn't find them (>_<)
I'm sure I had the right disk but I couldn't find the file D:
Thankfully I had a brainwave, since I have my back-up discs I could probably find them on there
But I didn't want to restore my whole laptop, so I thought it should be alright if I can select the files and copy them
Which I found that I could :D
so happy that I didn't lost all my GCSE recipes or else I would've cried and been depressed for the whole week _A_
I guess I could've googled the recipe but I didn't trust them :P And I've used my GCSE recipes before so I can trust it :D
Anyways I ended up making way too much...I was planning on making about 2 portions? One for today and one for tomorrow but I made 4 portions instead (but I think the recipe is meant to be for 4 XD)

Drinking this chamomile  honey and vanilla tea at the moment and it smells really nice of vanilla but tastes strongly of chamomile
It's aslso making me real sleepy now XD
Or maybe it's my self-fulfilling prophecy since I read on the box that it's supposed to make you feel relaxed
Anyways I was at Asda and I had the list of ingredients to buy for my Chilli, but somehow I bought extra things such as the box of tea (well actually two boxes since I saw they were on offer for 2 for £2 XD)
Why do I always do this...
I've never even bought this before but for some reason I decided to buy it
Maybe to make it easier for me to sleep? Since I've been having trouble sleeping lately...
Although I won't be sleeping until 11-12 probably so...that's not gonna work XD
And I'm now just making excuses for why I bought it XD
I should just shut up now...

MCM Expo!

Yesterday went to the MCM Expo as a club trip with other members of the SAM society
Woke up at 6.30am - thankfully at midnight the clocks went backwards so I had an extra hour of sleep
But I was still ridiculously tired but ended up getting ready on time and met up with them in front of the tube station
Met a new guy whom I haven't met before and also the leader and skateboard guy
Whilst waiting for the tube to come I asked whether the leader knew what to take to get there and he didn't sound very certain so I started to worry XD
We pretty much chatted and got to know each other more whilst on the tube
When we were nearly there (had to change once more before we got there) we finally saw some cosplayers and there were quite a few of them!
We met up with a girl who was wearing sharingans which looked really cool! :D

And then we went to get in and along the way saw so many awesome cosplayers
And when we got to the bit to line up....geez there were so many people!
There were two lines: one for getting tickets and another for the ones already with tickets
Thankfully we already got our tickets online (thanks to leader) but the line was still amazingly long
Although the wait wasn't that long and we soon went back out again - which really confused us first-timers (me, skateboarder and sharigan) but the expo was just in another part

We finally entered and pretty much started looking at the stalls and there were so many plushies
I saw some album but they were mostly anime CDs and quite a lot of GACKT and Miyavi (and more GACKT XD)
We were pretty much just looking around
We arrived pretty early so there weren't so many people but it soon got very full!

The group started getting hungry so the great leader bought us some Takoyaki which was so nice!♥
As we were looking around I spotted a tablet playing The Gazette (strange that I recognised them right away even though I'm technically not really a fan) and....there was kpop CDs!

I saw G.Na first and then 4minute then looked through a box and found Cube United (this stall was cube-biased XD) and then....I found B2ST's "Fiction and Fact"
Picked it up straight away and knew that I had to buy it but they didn't accept card and I only had £5 on me so I had to go to the cash machine
Two others needed to go to the cash machine as well so we went and after I got some cash out the dude them decided to get cash out which meant I had to wait for him and the line for the cash machine had suddenly increased
Then I started thinking selfishly for him to hurry up or else my beloved album will be gone :X
Once he finished we went - I pretty much power-walked and me and leader ended up losing the others...(I'm sorry for my selfishness...)
Bought the album in the end and then I found other kpop stalls and one even had 2NE1 playing :O
tbh they were pretty much SM biased (and YG biased) with the odd Inifinite and B2ST - they all had Exo-K but no other groups (not BAP or BTOB or Nu'est) so I'm saying they're SM biased XD
I swear I was looking for J-rock album - preferably SID, YUI or even UVERworld but i couldn't find any at all and there were only K-Pop and GACKT XD
Although I did spot AYABIE's single "Merry Go Round" and a few Hikki and a Ayumi Hamasaki album but that's it :(

We did some drawing and origami (which failed badly XD) and watched a Taiko drum performance
Also ended up buying to phone charms since I felt bad for going on an Anime and Manga club trip and ending up buying something kpop XD
So I had to buy something related to anime or just something Japanese
Ate some more takoyaki (paid by the dude) and then decided to go out and sit by the entrance
Saw Jack Sparrow saw I had to take a picture with him XD
Also whilst we were sitting down I saw a robot thing and decided to wave at it
It then decided to come over (I was still waving) and stand really close to me whilst pointing it's gun at me
At that time I still laughing and waving at him still and then decided to take a picture of him (he still didn't move)
He soon left though...
We then went outside (same thing happened again but with a different cosplayer - we pretty much had a staring competition XD)
and we saw a lot of cosplayers and there were so many amazing ones that I really don't know how they can pull it off so well!
I then spotted No-Face sitting by himself so I took a picture of that as well XD
Near the end there was a massive horde of people coming outside and straight away I recognised the music they were dancing to...GANGNAM STYLE!
Dance a bit along with them (it was mental) and then it finished and they started dancing to Caramel Dansen and went back inside

Then we left
That's pretty much it XD

It was a great experience, just looking at all the cosplays was enough
It was lively the people were really friendly, you could go crazy and no one would bat an eyelid
There's a Hyper Japan at the end of November
I want to go
XD

A month anniversary!

It's been a month since I first moved into the Halls of Residence
Time really has past so quickly, but at the same time...I feel like it should go a bit faster?
I really can't wait until Christmas when I'll be going home for the first time since moving here...
Is that bad? XD

I haven't updated in a while - I'm sorry T_T
Guess I should pretty much summarise my time here so far?

Well I guess the first week was just me adjusting to the whole living independent thing
And I really didn't make any friends in the first week until the Friday XD (I'm socially awkward after all *putting myself in a box*)
Well the Friday was a little fair thing for people living in the Halls to meet each other and make friends
At first I was really awkward since I was by myself and I saw everyone else has probably already made friends (or the ones that haven't made any friends are just staying in their rooms)
So I was walking around - got an caricature of myself done - and then lined up to get food (the real reason why I decided to go in the first place XD)
As I was standing there, my eyes met this asian guy and he came over to introduce himself to me
I thought he was a bit odd but at least I had someone to talk to I wasn't a loner :P
He then introduced me to the rest of his friends and we just hung out together
Went on the dodgems a couple of times, got some freebies (mostly leaflets though...)
And got a balloon squirrel made (decided on squirrel because of my current obsession with BTOB *minhyuk*)

Then the Saturday they asked me whether I wanted to go out with them, and since I really had nothing to do and needed to socialise more, I decided to go
We went to eat at a Korean restaurant (bloody expensive and customer service was terrible, but I got to hear Gangnam Style twice [first time in UK] and MBLAQ!)
Then we just walked up and down the streets - a little incident involving the smallest of the group crying because the others were talking about her being a violent drunk - and also met a girl who was also from the same city as me (haven't seen her since though)

After that....I haven't seen them since (maybe bumped into a couple of them and said hi and stuff) so there goes me making friends XD
Although on the next monday (a week from moving in) I met up with a guy who was part of the group and did a similar course to me
So we've pretty much became friends (I'm not friendless after all!)

Also should talk about my flatmates
Well the one in Room 1 moved in on the same day as me and he's a nice kid, but I'm not too keen on his friends which is why I haven't tried to hang out with him
Then Room 3 guy moved in a few days after and I found he extremely creepy (though he was like 40 at first) and I kinda still do find him creepy...so I don't talk to him unless I have to - although I do say hi (sometimes) when I see him
Room 4 then moved in and it was a female this time (woo! not alone XD) but she's form Nigeria and I don't see her around much, so far I think she's pretty nice and I don't mind her
Room 5 and 6 then came on the same night (a guy and girl) they're both also from Nigeria, the girl seems a bit stuck up and doesn't know how to work the oven (like seriously) or the internet
The guy....was very friendly at first (he's only 17, bless him) and he always talked to me when I saw him, until...that day he bought a friend and introduced me to him as his "girlfriend" and I pretty much spat back "I'm not your girlfriend" (I was pissed off at the time since the wi-fi was playing up the whole day) and since then he hasn't been talking to me as much XD although there was an improvement last night (he seem quite depressed but I didn't want to prod)
So I'm not really buddy buddy with my flatmates and I'm still pretty much friendless except for the guy who I walk to the campus with sometimes

I have, however, joined the anime and manga club (don't judge me) after searching for other clubs I couldn't really find one that really interested me
I wanted to join karate but damn guy who I walk to campus with joined it already and I really didn't feel like joining after I knew...
The SAM (society of anime and manga) didn't put up a stall at the fresher's fair so I had to email them
Then I went looking for them last Monday to sign up - couldn't find them at first, but when I eventually did I was surprised to see them all being Indian (ok I kinda judged them based on their looks) and wondered whether I should join or not as I didn't want to be the only girl and be surrounded by Indians (I'm sorry for being shallow T_T)
But I put that aside, and decided to talk to the main guy (the others left) and then I found him to be a friendly guy, then another guy (from Sweden) was also signing up and he joined our discussion of all things anime
One of his friends joined us again and an asian girl (who's the treasurer) also joined
In the end I thought it wouldn't hurt to join and it seem really cool (it might've been the fact that he said that we'll be going to the MCM Expo that made me want to join XD)
So I guess the moral of the story is "don't judge the book by it's cover" and don't stereotype people and be racist (I'm sorry T_T)
There hasn't been a meet-up since then (so I don't know who else joined and who the members are) but we are going to the MCM Expo on Sunday! :D

I guess that's all for now...
I guess I could write about Asda and Tesco and familiarising myself with the place but it's not that interesting

I'll try and update more often (not a promise) but I'd like to look back at these in the future to find how stupid I was :P

Leaving School...

Had my leaver's assembly today and yesterday I had my last lesson ever in a school (well hopefully I will not have to repeat the year...)
It's really weird to think that I've been at this school for seven years....SEVEN YEARS
wow....
I can kinda still remember being in year 7 and maybe my first day (or the day after) at this high school
Well all I can remember is having to choose a form captain and it was between my (now) best friend and (the now very up-herself) class mate. I chose the classmate (mostly because I thought my now best friend seemed really up herself and how ironic that it is actually the other way around now? XD)
I know that I've changed quite a lot (inside and out XD) from being a once very quiet and shy nerdy girl whot want to draw attention to herself to the now more confident outgoing (?) but still a bit socially awkward girl that I am now XD
I'd also like to think I've matured a bit more...but sometimes I feel like the year 7 me was a bit more mature an adult than I am now XDDD
I've also changed on the outside as well (lolz) going from the nerdy glasses to wearing contacts; from having braces to the braces coming off and having pretty teeth; from dying my hair; from wearing a little bit of make-up (I love BB cream <3) I'd also like to think I've gotten a lot more mature(?) look and not so kiddy anymore but the lack off boobs does not help XD

Anyways....
My high school life has been a lot about obsessions
Getting a new obsession each year:

Year 7 was all about Naruto, I was so obsessed with it it was unbelievable XD
Everything was about Naruto, I did everything surrounding on Naruto, from my IT project to writing about Naruto in German XD I even got to make some "friends" with my senoirs or "senpais" (or "Unnie" since I'm into Kpop at the moment XD) since we all had an interest in Naruto but then they soon dumped me because I was annoying them by following them around every lunch time XDDD

Year 8 was all about anime in general, where I had to watch at least one episode of an anime everyday and god knows how many anime I went through just that year XD I think there was one point where I ended up watching 3 or 4 animes at the same time (it would probably have involved Naruto, Bleach, FMA and another anime) and yet again I would of found a way to get it into my school work

Year 9 was pretty much when I discovered YUI and became devoted to her and trying to learn everything about her from her hright, blood type, birth place, hobbies, anything I could find on the internet XD Now that I think about it, it seems like I was pretty creepy....(omg was I a borderline-pathological?!? *damn psychology*) I would try to memorise all the lyrics to her songs and I would even find out weird facts about her (the one I remember the most is about her piercing her ear (don't remember which ear but if it was a year 9 me I would've probably known which side XD) by herself and then she was too scared to pierce the other ear)

Year 10 was when I discovered SID just after YUI came back from her hiatus she announced that she would be doing the opening for the new FMA series (aka FMA: Brotherhood) which told me that there was a new FMA series that I must watch because I love that anime so much and then I hear SID's Uso and became interested in them, then I found Mitsuyubi and fell in love with them <3 And then I had a new obsession wanting to learn everything about the group and the members and then discovering that Mao was also from Fukuoka, spazzes out a bit and fell in love with SID even more XD

Year 11 was just Jrock/VKei in general since SID kind of opened up the whole genre to me and I decided to explore a bit more and not just keep my interest on YUI. I rediscovered so many Jrock groups that I had once heard their songs from animes and ignored the bands (e.g. UVERworld, Laraku, High and Mighty Color etc.)

Year 12 was the start of the obsession of Jdramas XD I watched so many of them and they mostly contained the same actors that I fell in love with (from Hana Kimi (first series of course) because that is an epic drama)

Year 13 which is pretty much this year...well I've been obsessed with Kpop....and I can't seem to stop myself...and it's even gotten me to love everything about Korea and it's culture (like I even went as far as wearing a Hanbok (although only for 5 minutes since I felt so out of place) today before the leaver's assembly) and I think I've changed quite a bit because of Kpop (like wanting to learn how to do the dances, finding out about BB cream and caring more about my appearance)

------------

Somehow I've gotten off topic about school memories....XD
but I think I do have a lot of good school memories, I have bad memories as well, but somehow the good memories over-ride all the bad things and it has definitely been better then my primary school memories, that's for sure XD
And I have made friends that I am glad I have made and I do hope our friendships would last even after we go our separate ways to our own Unis (even if they do irritate me quite a bit)

There have been times when I do feel lonely but I guess that's my own fault for being terrible at being friendly and making friends like a normal person (since I'm socially awkward and everything XD)
But I do find that I have gotten better at this making-friends business and I'm not as awkward when talking to guys anymore (I remember when I used to refer males as a different kind of species....)

Anyways I will kinda miss the high school days but just for the happy moments of being with my friends, definitely not for the learning aspect and having to go to lessons and spending them listening to teachers go on and on about stuff that I really didn't care about

Maybe I should just end on a happy note XD

I will probably miss my high school days when I look back when I'm 80 years old or something XDD

Was hoping to "bump" into Laraku today...

Todays my birthday (yippee *sarcasm*) (and let's not forget it's also SID day XD)
And like always I know it's not got be a day better than the rest
Just like how I woke up took a shower uses the hairdryer and the hairdryer dies on me...
My birthday seems to always be bad luck one way or another XD

So we were planning to go to town today and shopping at Oxford Street
And whilst walking around I was looking to maybe "bump" into Laraku or any of the members (but of course they'd be rehearsing for the show tomorrow but a girl can dream right? XD)
Found a lot of things that I love but couldn't buy because it's way too expensive OTL
Really like the fashion style in UNIQLO and managed to see One Piece and BLEACH T-shirts as well as a massive poster of Bosco Wong XDDDD (which was really surprising and I really wanted to take a photo of but couldn't...(>_<))
But I managed to buy a top from there which is pretty (wanted to buy some skinnies as well but they didn't have my size...)

Also went to Tokyo Toys and heard Stereopony playing (Hitohiro no Hanabira to be exact) followed by K-ON! (only reason I knew is because I recognised the voice actor's voice)
And then I decided to go into the opposite store Ho Panda and as I was going in I heard a girl sing "Somebody Take me away" which I recognised straight away as U-KISS' "Take Me Away" and had a little spazz attack inside and tried to force myself from screaming "OMG! YOU'RE A U-KISS FAN AS WELL?!?!" XDDD
And as I went in I found myself listening to K-Pop XD
It sounded like 2PM but I'm not very sure XP
I was hoping they would play B2ST but in then end I was dragged out by my mother....

So we were pretty much walking around the place (with me keeping my eyes open for any signs of HYDE and Laraku <3)

And I couldn't see them...
Was really wanting to go to Hyde Park just in case HYDE decides to visit there again XD


My birthday cake above <3
Which is filled with fruits...and I'm allergic to pretty much everything on there....
But I still ate it anyway XD
But had to take my tablets before I die XD
I don't mind dying of my allergy after Laraku's concert though XD
But I don't wanna miss the concert so I made sure to take my tablets XD

In London!

Arrived in London today~!!!
Ready for Laraku's concert on wednesday~<3
Travelled to London by coach and was sat at the front because of mother
And during the ride I kept seeing the driver lifting his hand up and I was really confused and thought he just had cramp in his hands or something XD
But actually he was waving/saying high to other coach drivers in the opposite lanes XD
It actually took me more than half the way to London to notice XD
Also it was really congested in the motorway so we ended up arriving about an hour late than expected...
Anyways tomorrow we'll be going shopping (yay! Shopping!)

 ------------------

Forgot to mention/write about it but I did my grade 8 piano exam last monday (and came out shaking and crying XD)
And also dyed my hair lighter on thursday - although you can't really notice until it's out in the sunlight....
ah well...

Just when I got back into J-rock...

Have been addicted to K-Pop recently (despite hating it a year ago XD)
And just when I decided to put K-Pop down and go back to listening to J-Rock, out pops SHINee's "Sherlock" MV and BTOB's "Insane" MV
....which meant I was sucked back into K-Pop again....

Despite the fact that I finally got my good taste in music back and falling in love with YUI and SID again....

I swear they do it on purpose....

Happy Mother's Day!

For Mother's Day today I decided to make dinner for mother which consisted of Lasagne and some Potato Rostis
I also managed to drag my brother to help me XD
It all well quite well at the start although brother peeled waaaaaay too many carrots (and took forever at doing it too) and in the end we had to stick them all into the meat sauce (although it turned out fine in the end) and I was worrying whether it would end up having more carrots than the mince itself XD
So as the meat sauce was slowly simmering away a thought popped up into my head "We don't have any tomato puree!"
And I was looking around for it everywhere and in the end didn't find any so I jokingly told brother "why don't why used tomato ketchup instead? XD" to which he replied "alright" which kinda shocked me because I thought he'd go "ewww! no!" but he didn't XD
So I just added a load of tomato ketchup into the meat sauce which then tasted of just tomato ketchup so then I added a heap of seasoning, pepper, and red wine to try and balance it out (although brother was protesting when I went to add more red wine into it XD)

It was pretty much 5pm and mother came home complimenting the smell and then she saw the kitchen and claimed it looked liked a mess (which imo was not true since it actually looked pretty neat compared to my other cooking sessions I've had XD)
She couldn't take the sight of the kitchen and left to go into the living room XP
Which by then I thought why don't we just finish this and stick it into the oven so I could make my potato rosti
And I got brother to spread the white sauce (which he took forever) and then when I got him to put the pasta on top of the meat sauce he found bugs....crawling around the pasta...it was not a good sight....
So I decided to go to mother about it which she was also surprised at since we only just recently bought the pasta - but we ended up using them anyway....since all germs will be killed in the over...hopefully....
So we were doing pretty good and then brother decided he would do spread the white sauce on top of the lasagne...and he somehow made it look like an abstract art piece XD
Thankfully we had cheese to put on top so that it would end up looking kinda 'normal'



Afterwards when we finished up with the lasagne structuring we decided to put it into the over, however there weren't enough space, so I was moving them about when suddenly my wrist touched the top of the oven which I of course went "OW!" to, but then when I looked at it, I wasn't even sure whether what it was and just went "Is that my skin?" because, seriously, it didn't look like a normal burn, then skin looked like the skin off of a friend chicken o.O (the picture below makes it look alright...but in reality...it isn't...)
Even my brother looked sick looking at it and he's not really a squeamish person


So then, after sticking the lasagne in the oven, I decided to start on the potato rosti's which I stupidly decided to use a tiny pan to fry it in and well...it was a huge mess XD
And then it started burning....


It tasted quite nice though XD
But for the other two which I haven't stuck into the pan I decided to stick them straight into the oven with a little bit of olive oil on top, hoping that it'll be enough XD

In the end...
umm...they tasted quite nice?
Not my best effort, but definitely no the worst XD
At least they were edible....and I had a entertaining time cooking (despite the burn - but I usually end up burning myself every time I try to cook XD)

Maybe I should've just bought flowers for Mother's Day? 

But at least I learnt....
1. Don't let brother near a knife or even a peeler
2. Brother is way too slow at even peeling carrots and potato's
3. Brother is just slow at doing anything
4. I shouldn't try making something which I vaguely remember how to make
5. I should just buy flowers for Mother's Day...



of course to end with we have Jay Chou with "Listen to Mother's words" which is pretty much the perfect song for Mother's Day <3
