Our Little House

Yeah .. i finished my last final just now! So excited for spring break. For sure we'll be camping in Big Sur next weekend. Also, we'll be experiencing Hooters this Saturday. On weekdays however ... i still need to beg my hubby to take day off so he can accompanies me to Napa or Sausalito or Golden gate park =) There's a big chance i might succeed though *winning smile* ah ... life is sooooo good! =) PS: another good sign that this spring break will be awesome: for weeks we've been worrying about camping in rainy weather, but the weather forecast bode that it will be sunny from april 1 to 3! woohoo! Let's just hope the forecast is right =)

Last week, although i really really want to try hooters, we ended up having dinner at BBQ Kalbi truck . That day the korean taco truck was parking at some intersection in Mountain View. We decided to try the Kalbi (Beef) Burrito and Daejee (Spicy Pork) Burrito. My hubby loves his Daejee burrito. I love their sauces especially the sweet wasabi. The overall eating experience was not that enjoyable though. Somehow that night was cold and very windy. There was no line too. So at a time, we were the only customers eating there. Anyway, we found out that the intersection where BBQ Kalbi parked was so close to the famous Castro Road. Incidentally, my hubby has been wanting to go to the used book store there. He didn't find the book that he wants, but ...  i found an old friend =) I found the complete edition of EA's Sims fully loaded with all its expansion packs! I played this game since i was in high school up until college. It's actually one of my siblings' favorite game. S...

Fiuhh ... I finally finished the hardest class for this quarter, EWRT 1A. The final was an eight paragraph in-class essay about Toni Morrison's award winning novel, Sula. The begin with, I'm a really slow writer. So i dread in-class essays. Moreover, this is quite a long essay so i need a really strong thesis. The problem is, to get a really good thesis, you need to spend time ... to think! But of course i don't have the luxury of time in an in-class essay =( Anyway, i passed the deadly final already =P I'm not really sure about the result ... well at least i tried my best. So I'll just leave out the rest to God =) The good thing is ... somehow i managed to finish my essay exactly in 2 hours. This has never happened before. But i do admit that maybe my thesis is not strong enough ... because i kind of hurrying myself to start writing when i did the outline. O well ... there's nothing i can do to alter it anyway. I couldn't think of any other sophisticated ...

*sigh* getting really nervous about the final week especially for my in class writing final. The teacher plan to do the in class final one week sooner than its schedule. In a way I kinda like her decision, i just want to get it over with quick .. and then focus on accounting. Anyway, the in class writing will be so difficult and there's nothing i can do to improve my bad writing skill =( So, i just hope i can do better in accounting, which is possible since i just need to put some extra effort learning all those online practice at Wiley. so nervous ... hope everything will be alright.  

This is what we normally do at weekends: 1. Food Hunting after suffering for my bad cooking and instant food in weekdays, weekend is the right time for us to enjoy food. Usually i have certain craving for each week, so we always have destination =P When i craved for japanese ramen, we would usually go to orenchi or santouka. I personaly like orenchi better. Yet, most of the time we go to santouka instead ... maybe because it's nearer. Santouka is one of the two food stall inside Mitsuwa department store. It is usually very crowded during lunch and dinner hours. It closed at 7 PM though, so it's an early dinner ... This is what santouka looks like one of their set menu My regular bowl : shoyu broth     You better come early if you want to eat at santouka though, the line is quite long. I think we waited for around 30 mins that time before we could enjoy our ramen. 2. Enjoying the Wea...

 Some random photo updates: Brazillian Cheese Bread  This is my almost failed attempt of little teochew's Easy Brazillian Cheese Bread. It smells delicious though! I made this around early December last year. prawn in tofu skin roll? There is a dimsum to go store near our place called Taipan Dimsum. This is where I satisfy my sudden dimsum craving =P I've never tried this prawn roll before because i usually order their famous crispy shrimp ball. It turned out to be just okay. Based on my past dimsum experiences, this kind of roll usually filled with just seasoned shrimps ... so i was surprised to find greens, radish and shrimp filling inside of taipan's prawn roll. I think seasoned shrimps is still the best filling for this kind of roll. Pork and thousand years egg     This is also one of the regular items that i order at Taipan. Pork and phitan egg porridge. I really like this porridge. Every time i feel like eating comfort food, this is what i buy. I'v...

I was kinda reluctant to begin this new quarter ... a three weeks holiday was really not enough. That's why I'm so thankful to be able to visit LA and Las Vegas during the christmas holiday. At least we did something fun and memorable on the-really-short year end holiday. Anyway, so here I am, back at school. This quarter I take three classes: Accounting 1B, Peachtree Accounting and English Writing 1A. All of the classes are interesting, but i worry for the english writing 1A. The instructor seems so fake to me. She's kind on the outside but i do really think she's just pretending to be kind. Well, hope I'm wrong... Anyway, no matter how hard I try, this time there'll be no A+ for the english class. The teacher said so in our class' first meeting. I am really hoping for an A ... but we'll see. Three out of class papers and one in class essay seems difficult, not to mention a numbers of journal to be m...
