couch potato

i'm so summarized to the point that providing the summary is too much.
what's the point...
makes no difference anyway.
everything feels like an assignment in school.
i'm not in school anymore, yet i feel like i'm still the same high school student who's trying to figure out her life.

so need to live in the present Earth, my mind is always wandering on some other planet.

december update

i have finally picked up my act and finished spacing the "first" movement of Ms. K's piano trio.
it was indeed a bit of work, took me 2 hrs to do the layout.

today was sort of productive.
i got to spend a full 30 mins work out on my new treadmill.
but i was actually planning on going to goodlife because my last payment would last till dec 24.
i've got to go more next week.

gosh, spent so much money for the past week.
first the wii, then the treadmill.
still in the midst of getting a new card reader so i can soft mod the wii with my SDHC.
already got the roms for the Simpsons Game and Cooking Mama.
it'll save me so much money if it works.

will be picking up another movement of the trio downtown in the afternoon.
hope i can beat the torch bearers and barricades, and make it back home before rush hour.
i am going to see the relay in Richmond Hill.
i mean, why miss it if they're gonna pass by right in front of u, right?
it's easy to just park the car at my dad's and walk to hwy 7 and snap some pictures.
darn thing i still haven't got my polarizer filter!

more late night baking

it's smelling reeeeeeally good in the house.
full of butter in the air.
i finally found a good shortbread recipe, thanks to Martha Stewart's website.
full of butter, but that's what so great about it! like it how it's all fluffy just like Karen's when she brought hers in last week in the Xmas concerts in London.
gotta go down and take some pictures of them.

oh yeah, and i've also made gae chal ppang again.
hopefully Nikki will quickly recover from her fever and get to eat them tmr.

i finally found the creme brulee ramekins + torch set at canadian tire.
took me a while.
none of the people who work there knows where it is.
i surveyed the entire store for about 15 mins before finding the only, last set in the clearance table.
now all i need is a good recipe, and some butane gas.

since i was there, i also checked out the treadmill machine i was looking for.
that's another $600 down the road.
it's the Horizon CT 5.1. what's neat about it is that it has hydrolic arms that helps fold up and release of the running bed. sort of like those new slow slamming toilet seats.
i think they do delayed payments, but i'd have to get a stupid credit card.
we'll see how that goes when i call them up next monday.

awesomeness

woohoo!
i'm now a proud owner of a wii!
yesterday we went to walmart in Richmond Hill and they had none left.
today i drove my dad to Trenton to pick up his winning bid at the AF base. on our way back in Brighton, we went into a walmart and they have at least 10 consoles there.
the manager was even afraid that they won't sell. what are the odds??

now i'm at the adrenaline crash, feeling really sore and nil in strength in my right arm.
why oh why did i play for 4 hrs straight? (*.*)

i have a big question too...
should i mod the wii? seems like there's a lot of malfunctions after hard modding.
maybe i should do it after the warranty expried?
but i don't want to spend so much money buying games...
what should i do?

expendature

bought a bottle of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA white Chardonnay wine.
i figure since i don't eat land animals, then i'll switch to white wine for a little while.
got 2 more beers, 1 german the other is estonia, i think.
and i've also bought a strawberry beer! we'll see how that goes!

we finally replaced the old toaster oven.
it's now a nice black and decker one that's a bit bigger in volume.
i just like the nice touch~

unfortunately i found a cheaper bundle of ramekin + crème brûlée torch at canadian tire, so i had to return the more expensive one at kitchen stuff plus today.
felt like i wasted gas just going there.
o well, they do have more stuff that i wanna get for the kitchen, so i'll eventually go there again for more!
and i'll have to get my deposit for the many beer/wine bottles in my garage... the beer store/lcbo is in the same plaza.

finished inputting the piano part of K's trio.
sigh... i really don't like to work with transposed instrument, but i'll have to do the basset horn part sooner or later.
guess i'll leave that last =P

tonight i'll be making white bread again, hopefully less dense, more fluffy.
and also a holiday treat... cranberry short bread cookies!

latest attractions

i'm currently totally addictive to the Dead Zone series, now on series 2.
the lead actor is cute and funny, and apparently he's a good person in real life too~!
totally falling in love with him!

as i was randomly looking for information about picking wild mushrooms...
yes, i'm thinking of learning it. chanterelle seems like a tasty one for cooking, so that might be my first search.
anyway, so i came across this forum that is SO druggie.
it's basically a drug user's site, discussing about different drugs and its usage, which area has what kind of dealers and shit.
seems like drugs are taking over across the globe.
i just want to try weed before i die! hahaha

on a totally unrelated matter...
if u get a second chance at something, would you take it?
given that the result of the first round sticks around and u're a different person now.
