wish i can be like Donald



My dynamic economics class is driving me nuts. Never in my whole university life have i received such a low mark! anyway, i'm just stressed over this thing because i studied hard for it and it didn't turn out well. I hope my next quiz will turn out better.

Dog-napped





Last Friday, my dog was wandering in our neighbor's garden when a boy dognapped my dog. :( The neighbor told him to leave the dog alone, but he still stole my dog. I hate him. The police should jail him forever.
Pebbles has been with the family for about 8 years. Its really hard to let go since we really love her. She eats dinner with us. We share our food with her. She sleeps with me in my room. Its really sad.
What if the boy doesn't feed my dog? What if my dog gets galis?

ice cream sunday



T'was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, hanging out with friends. When all of a sudden, we decided to pose with our food. Hehe... I got a Say Cheesecake with nutella mix-in. I just thought I'd try a new flavor, but somehow, it was not really my type. Well, next time, I know better to stick with my favorite (nuts about macadamia).

Ginseng Chicken Soup



Just this April, I went to Korea on a holiday. Like any other tourist in town, I felt that I have to taste whatever unique food they offered in town. Korea is known for their ginseng products. Everywhere I looked, there was something ginseng-flavored. There was ginseng candy, ginseng chocolate, ginseng crackers, ginseng chips, ginseng coffee, ginseng bubble gum, ginseng drink, ginseng sauce... I can go on all day thinking of the ginseng things they had there. Anyway, going back to my blog, I am about to talk about ginseng chicken soup right now.
They used a whole young chicken for each serving. The chicken is stuffed with rice, mushrooms and ginseng root. The chicken is slowly cooked in a crockware for 7-8 hours to ensure that the soup has a bold flavor.
The proper way to enjoy this would be to drink the ginseng wine before the soup or if you're not into wine/alcohol, you can choose to mix the wine into the soup.
I am not really a fan of ginseng but I really love soup so I enjoyed the dish. The thing is, one serving is too many for my own consumption, hence, I left half of the chicken untouched.
Also, I was nursing a young cold, due to the sudden change of weather, so this is a timely delight.
Overall, any soup is good when the weather is cold. So drink on!
