Nom nom nom. :D

Had the weirdest cravings for KFC so decided to head downtown with housemate to grab some lunch and to get some cinnamon powder.

The chicken meat is TINY. Two pieces of chicken took up a quarter of the plate.
That’s how tiny the chicken pieces are.

It’s fries + gravy + cheese all together in one bowl. It tastes super di duper good. Smile

So I came home and decided to bake… :)
Realizing I had shit load of cereal, why not make cornflake cookies?!

Farmer’s Market

We decided that today, we will wake up earlier and avoid missing the bus.
Turns out we were late again we got out of the house at 9.10am when the bus was at 9.12am.
Yeah, we ran the whole way there. The weather was so cold which made it even harder to run and breathe at the same time. We still missed the bus so we had to wait for another 30 minutes.

Just hanging about the bus stop waiting for the next bus to arrive.
The morning was pretty chilly, but still people can bear wearing just SHORTS and SLEEVELESS TOPS!

Sun always manages to fool me into thinking the weather is warm when it is really cold!

Came home and decided to make grilled cheese sandwich for dinner.

IMG_8705

Used a very simple method to make the grill cheese sandwich.

Grilled the bacon on the stove, sautéed the fresh mushrooms in the bacon grease.
Buttered two slices of whole wheat bread then grilled everything on a sandwich maker…
Of course, added some slices of cheddar cheese before doing so. :D

First week of University was not that bad, pretty hectic timetable but manageable.

Till next time. :)

It’s Vegas Baby!

So I was in Las Vegas for a few days when I was in US.
The weather was super hot as my mum chose the wrong timing to be there. There was a heat wave!
All in all the place is really pretty and I loved the outlet mall there!

Looks too yummy to eat. Smile

We managed to catch the Cirque du Soliel “O” which was amazing.
Though throughout the show, my ENG4U disease kicked in again and I was trying very hard to analyse what the whole show was about as I’ve never even seen the summary.
The show was really nice with acrobats who dives under water for more than a few minutes and it’s amazing!

As we were not allowed to bring in any recording devices. :)

That sums up my days in Vegas.

Of half naked ladies on billboards to awesome performances… Vegas is really a nice place to visit.
