let's get restless

9.20 am and i'm done with classes for the day. had a small russian test just now and that's basically it. i'm so bored with my life right now. seriously. something tells me i should start studying for exams or i'll regret it but everytime i open my book, i just stare at it blankly. furthermore, it's such perfect weather to sit at the balcony with a cup of tea or a bottle of beer and just people-watch. my favourite past-time ever since i could remember. people-watching i mean. :) last night, due to massive boredom on my part, i suggested we make tang yuan or winter solstice balls. i know it's a long way to the winter solstice but i had some glutinous rice flour lying around. so 5 of my friends and i started making tang yuan at 11.00pm. Jhn and i tried tricking people who came to the kitchen to check on us, saying it was winter solstice for Australia and we were getting in the mood and all that jazz. weird thing is some of them actually believed us. probably thanks to Jhn coz the boy started reading a "text" from his mother to remind him to have tangyuan and crap. super believable i tell you. i was a bit confused for a while as to why his mother would send him a text like that at such an odd hour but soon caught on that it was just a crappy prank. heh.

i made some italian salad yesterday. honestly i don't even know if it can be classified as italian but i'm just going to say it is. :) tomato + cucumber + olive oil + lemon + salt + basil + garlic powder. it's so simple and it tastes exactly like something they'd overcharge you for at some italian restaurant. a dollop of balsamic vinegar would actually make it a tad yummier. but that i don't have so i was happy with my little concuction. think i'll make some bruschetta with Jhn this sunday, only if the tomatoes are nice and sweet and i find really yummy bread. interesting. i've already got stuff planned out for the weekend. awesome. ok i'm super hungry now. i have a feeling i'll be updating pretty frequently now considering i'm pretty bored most of the time. :)

p.s: i miss turkey. :( i wonder whether those japanese people we met in cappadocia miss it too.
