It's My Life

Monday blues (Day 33 in Vancouver)

I think I am having serious Monday blues. Although I was tired, I only fell asleep at 5.30am this morning… I kept tossing and turning in bed. The same happened last week.

So it’s kind of a tiring day for me, with all the lessons and a project meeting, plus I’m trying to stay awake half the time. I’m also trying to rush out a project which is due on Wednesday, and then I’ll have to start on revision for tomorrow evening’s wine science mid-term. Argh. But I guess it wouldn’t be too difficult since its just based on memorization mostly.

For the first time I brought my cappuccino along to class in the morning (I usually have it before leaving home) and also green tea for afternoon class. It’s really nice to sip hot drinks in the cold weather outside. Think from now on I’ll do that more often.

I had cravings for fried noodles after morning class, so I went to the village grocer to get a pack of noodles… and went back to cook it with veggies, mushrooms and bits of chicken. It tasted quite good for my first try I guess. I think I’ll be cooking more fried noodles in future. Yum! Yeah, one more item to add to my food menu.

I had another food experiment at dinner. I was quite tired of the usual stuff (rice, noodles, etc), and I didn’t have the energy to cook today so I decided to just eat whatever I felt like… so I had peanut butter sandwich, potato chips, steamed some siew mai I bought (they sucked), had a bowl of instant oats… and since I am currently having an oversupply of potatoes (they were really cheap, hehe)… I cut two up and baked potato wedges! Turned out quite yummy actually. I never realized baking was so easy (erm, just put the food in the oven and turn it on). I’ve always had this belief that ovens are really complicated stuff.

I marinated the potatoes with salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and garlic & herbs powder in a base of olive oil, set the oven to 425 degrees (Fahrenheit) and waited 30 minutes or so. Now I’m so full. And it was really satisfying.

I came across this article today. It’s hilarious. What are NTU’s PhDs doing, researching on monkeys having sex? I’m so proud of Singapore. Lol! http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1700821,00.html
