a bowl of pasta...

really funny how I actually came up with the idea to write about this... yes, it started with a bowl of pasta... =)

well, over the past weekend I had made myself for the first time since I came back from the US... chicken with tuna pasta bake... just a little back story about this dish... I actually ate a lot of this during my last year of college when I was actually doing some cooking rather than relying on the good old dining hall to fatten me up... don't get me wrong, I cooked this a lot in college not because it was easy... well, okay, easy to cook was part of it but mainly because I really enjoy this... it is kinda like my comfort food you can say...

so I was chomping my way on the meal and all out of sudden it really reminded me of the times I had in college... haha... funny how college actually feels ages away even though it has not been even a year since graduation yet...

anyway, I was thinking about what I typically do during college and comparing them to what I typically do now on a daily basis.

some of my thoughts... :)

Weekdays are pretty much the same in my opinion, classes, coffee, lunch, classes, dinner, homework, tv, bed for college and for now.... coffee, work, coffee and more coffee before dinner, tv and bed... so eeeehh... pretty much the same for weekdays. Oh! One difference! In college, I always eat dinner to Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends on tv... while now, I get to amuse myself with the news of the country instead. It is really ridiculous these days what gets headlined here in the news... well, I guess thats 1-for-college and 0-for-work

for weekends, my college fridays would typically start latest by noon (which is awesome I know) :) I remember I used to have only one japanese class on friday and basically the rest of the morning will be in the library in a very relaxing pace, earning my minimum wage doing stuff like retreiving etc... yes, very therapeutic and relaxing indeed... then I usually go and treat myself on a nice lunch (emmm... burritos... sushi!!) before heading home and taking a nap before heading out in the evening to do groceries for the week... then the rest of my Friday evening will be spent on things like watching cable tv, playing volleyball, relaxing and drinking beer occasionally with music in the background... OMG!! I so crave it that relaxing pace right now....

now that I am working, my fridays still pretty much start on the same pace, I mean it's Friday :) what's to complain right? funny, how things in the company also are less crazy on Fridays... less meetings, and more time actually on my desk... which is always a welcome :) anyway, before I know it, most of the time, lunchtime will come before we know it... Fridays are extra awesome because lunchtime is actually 2 hours! but I typically still manage to get back a little early and with not much people in the office, will read some papers or play some foosball if I have nothing to do... but lately, finding myself working through lunchtime more and more... but anyway, typically leave office very accurately at 5pm on Fridays... then would go back for a long welcoming shower before going out for a relaxing dinner... typically will sit in starbucks after dinner and relax on the couch after a long week... ahhhh.... yes, I love doing that... feels so good everytime...

OMG October!!

[status update] currently in Alor Setar waiting for lunchtime... mmmm... spare ribs and potato bake...

[work update] office was exceptionally quiet on Friday, IMHO, think the company should have declared holiday and saved on electricity =P

[penang road cendol update] have had .... 5 bowls of cendols in the span of a month... hmmm... and myth confirmed! the 1st bowl of cendol always taste better than the 2nd!

[what have been on my mind] black friday!!! it's not even funny... eventhough it is almost a good 2 months away, but i cant stop thinking about it!! all the deals... ~tear~

[football update] awesome comeback by Michigan last weekend! hope that this weekend will be yet another big weekend for Michigan with Illinois coming to the big house... I recently found something out and decided to share this, Astro ESPN actually do have delayed telecast of selected matches from the NCAA. They are usually on Saturday and Sunday afternoons around 3+. Sometimes they pick Big Ten games, sometimes the show Big 12, etc... so far this have been my only hope to catch the Mich Wolverines... and of course there is youtube. =P
