18 Times More Decadence


This is the last of the fried stuffed peppers I made yesterday. Unlike the ones that my aunt makes, these ones are so spicy I have to eat them with milk. Today I ate them all along with two bowls of rice and two cups of milk. Now I am full, tired, and this is going to be part of dinner because I want to eat meat and I don't have time to make another meat dish.

Time time time time time. That always creates anxiety in me since I find it so hard to control, and when I am worried I start to ramble and sound extra pessimistic and borderline insulting. I thank my friends for being mature enough to see past my anxiety. Anyways, I spent my birthday weekend in an extremely anxious state but I had a good time and I feel like most people are merely confused by my strange attitude but aren't put off with me yet. Now I am going to become a hermit for the rest of the week to gather myself to be taken for a proper 18 year old. End of volatility please, and bring in some rationality for the sake of stability!

The Unexpected Healing Powers of Facebook


Baked salmon with lemon rind inspired by Jamie Oliver. I tried it once last time and put on too much salt. This time I didn't put on a lot of salt and used half a lemon because I wanted to use up the lemon. It ended up getting overcooked because it was a bit dry despite the abundant amount of juice in the parcel. Also, it was surprisingly filling, though I do prefer sashimi.

After getting a confirmation on the fact that the fellow who sat next to me during my madly fun hot pot party has a lady friend waiting for him back in his home country, I realized that he was just a victim of my desperate desire to love somebody. Without anyone to throw my sudden surge of passion, I had a bit of an existential crisis for the whole morning. Thankfully, one of my bestest friends from Hong Kong chatted with me on Facebook. She told me that she made the most beautiful milk pudding, I said I want one for my birthday. I asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she said she wanted Abercrombie and Finch clothes. I asked her if she's got a boyfriend, and after some joking around, she revealed who's the lucky man. He was a gorgeous boy with a lovely personality, and my friend was obviously smitten, but then she told me that she had planned to stay single all year round, but this happened naturally, so I should enjoy my life as a single. Yes, I don't need to copy my friends just because they all have lovely love lives, I don't need to copy my friend who gets smitten by boys easily, I should just enjoy being myself for once.
