Express yourself.

It's only the 3rd week of the year. How time goes so slowly... well for me anyway. I think I'm in a rut since the same thing occurs every day -- it's like groundhog day except I don't know that each day is repeating itself. Ignorance is sure bliss (I think).

Maybe it's because I haven't got any plans and therefore nothing to look forward to? I had plans to watch a movie with Jamie but then last minute uni things pop up out of nowhere. Whoever said that spontaneity is the spice of life... hold on a second, nothing's perfect. Speaking of which, our daily (at times weekly) walks around the neighbourhood have been fun; it's more of a catch up session. Nothing trenuous but I love them regardless. Getting up early is a real pain though -- I am so not a morning person!

What else have I been up to? I borrowed some cook books involving Vietnamese cuisine. I figure that I should be able to cook something by now and with vietnamese food, mom can offer help. I've been skimming through the books and found the names of some vegetables including okra, kohlrabi and the one I absolutely love *drum roll* water spinach. Who would have thought that I'd like spinach? It just summons connotations of brussel sprouts. I've never had them before but apparently they're really awful! Working with veggies has helped me identify ones that I'd otherwise would never know. Like parsnip, fennel, swedes -- what the hell do you do with them? As you can imagine, I'm gonna be a hopeless cook but I'm learning... at a snail's pace.

And I haven't finished reading a book since God knows when. It's crazy. Insane.

Okay, that's enough for now. I'm sure I'll be back soon.
