Winterlicious 1

Have been waiting for a while, today's finally "Winterlicious" :P

Dined in Oliver & Bonacini

seems that this restaurant just had a makeover :)

(blogger doesn't allow me to enlarge all my photos :( .. argh.. can't read the menu from here! annoying.)

Why are menus so hard to read?

seriously I don't know most of the words on this menu -_-

(note to myself: if you wanna learn new vocabs, go study restaurants' menus lol)

and they often use French/Italian/Spanish...etc on menus, making them even harder to understand ._.

Was a little embarrased to ask the waitress to describe the dishes -_-, ~~as if that was the first time we dined in a restaurant lol~~

We asked her what is "venison'', she was a little surprised (I think it's the same as asking what a "chicken" is lmao)

and said it's the meat of a wild animal lol

and added that it's something between a deer and a moose

okay, sounded interesting to us, and we ordered that:)

salad's great :)

since I'm loving raw veggi salads recently, this is perfect for me.

this is the dish with the "wild animal" ! lol

I have to say I regret ordering this coz it's too salty since there's no carbs in this dish... so it's like eating a sauce alone.

venison tastes like pork 0v0 not as interesting as we thought.

(aunt's dessert)

Best plate of the day! bread pudding :) so good!

(my dessert)

At first I thought that was a giant grape :P

but it's actually a scoop of chocolate mousse,

underneath that is a piece of fluffy cake + raspberry sauce

I'm inspired by how they could make a simple piece of sponge cake looked fancy!

let me make my own version of this someday :)

After lunch, we went to get the car fixed.

so worried that the car would be dropped while he was fixing it lol

Displaying the Cinderella figures in my room:)

Disney's characters melt my heart <3

so happy to be doing my work in front of them :)

Close-up:

don't know if I should put the naughty cat, Lucifer, down there being with his mom or up here watching over the mice lol

btw, I love how the personality of this cat is protraited in the movie! although he always wants to kill the two mice, which I also love, his stupidity makes him somehow lovable lol

how cute lol!

... let me stop here, as this post should be mainly about Winterlicious lol

But I could really talk about Disney cartoons non-stop -_-

Disney Store Shopping!

今天要到Yorkdale mall交收一本textbook...
結果(其實也早料到-_-)姑媽趁此機會拉著我去購物 :P

一進Disney store,看到很多特價貨品,超興奮-v- 看到disney商品便hyper...
(差點連交收一事都忘掉...)

<3<3<3

要佈置一下書桌,讓我溫習時心情也能愉快點
(回家後發覺書桌好像沒空餘位置放這套Cinderella擺設 =_.=)

姑媽買的Donald...
我原來想買Cinderella故事裡的兩隻老鼠公仔(一隻胖一隻瘦) >3<
但再三考慮後還是覺得毛公仔沒什麼用處....

特價杯 ($5.25/each)
中間的是Disney villain系列的杯
很喜歡Disney villains!! 用他們作主題的產品都很酷 ~v~

在Zara買的三件公主T-shirt -v-
一看到Belle便雙眼發光> <... 為什麼她這麼吸引我?!?

公主系列筆記簿!
~~(don't judge me ._.)~~

今天交收的書...

...是時候讀書了-_.-

(<--原來無奈表情加了"八婆痣"後會很可愛!)

P/S

我發覺中年的女士會有一個說話問題 (我媽也有!!!)
今天姑媽指著Winnie the Pooh說他是forever friends...
把Donald duck說成McDonald -_-
Tinker bell說成Jingle bell...

為什麼會有這個問題?
應該讀一讀以上那本關於腦部的textbook尋找答案lol

DIY Plastic Surgery

This post is to record the failed "plastic surgery" I did on myself -_-

The "eyelid issue" has been bothering me for 3 years (fml). 3 months ago, Michelle uploaded this video on how to fix uneven eyelids:

...and I decided to give this "DIY surgery" a try :)

The problem with my eyelid is that my left eye has parallel-double eyelid while my right eye has tapered-double eyelid ._.

(Story: I used to have tapered-double eyelids on both eyes, but on a random morning when I was 17, I woke up with swollen eyes, and my left eyelid permanently became parallel ._. so my eyelids were uneven since then. WHAT THE...)

This pic is to illustrate that I have uneven eyelids lol

(i.e. tapered on the right; pararllel on the left)

Photo taken in 2011.

What irritated me was that everytime I put on eyeliners, I had to draw a thinner line on the right eye and a thicker one on the left just to balance out the look :/
Super annoying.

And when I looked down, it became soooo obvious that my eyelines were unbalanced!!

just like this:

OMG so weird!!!!

Becasue I couldn't handle this anymore, right after I watched Michelle's video, I started wearing a double eyelid tape on my right eye everyday, for 23 hours (only peeled it off when I showered)!

Hoped to turn this...

(another problem associated: right eye looks smaller than the left -_-)

to this...

!!!

(prayed hard > <)

According to many beauty gurus, one of the best double eyelid tapes in the world is:

!!!

(luckily, a friend bought me this more than a year ago, so I could start my "3 months treatment" right away :D)

I asked my sister to send me more of this baby, and she did<3 :

The blue version (LOVE it!) is stronger than the pink one, the tapes stay on my eyelid for the whole day :)

*if someone wants to try out this method to fix her eyelids, I strongly recommand this brand of tapes :D (although I failed to... -_- I still love the tapes)

With a tape on one eye can look weird at times... for example when I look down/blink...

the tape becomes pretty obvious lol

But I DIDN'T CARE! coz I wanted to get rid of unbalanced eyelids so badly!!!

On Jan 15, I've already been wearing tape on my right eye for 3 months straight (at least 23 hours a day)!! Can't believe I could really stay committed to this *0* and I trained myself to not wet my eye while cleaning my face :)

BUT the magic DID NOT work on me -_- (wth!?!)

The fold on my right eyelid flips back to its original position right after I take the tape off!!! .\/.

I'm not super disappointed though... coz if it's that easy to permanently change one's look, there won't be people out there paying for real plastic surgeries .__.

Conclusion: I guess I'd be wearing tapes for the rest of my life. (sad?_?)

P/S

going to gym at least once a week! (pretend to be healthy and motivated =_,=)
but look what I had after working out...

guilty -_-!!

(I was thinking that POPEYE is so popular here and I didn't even try it once... so.... :P)

P/S/2

Chilli Thai noodles I had the other day.

P/S/3

Looking forward to next weekend coz it's [Winterlicious]!!! :D

P/S/4

I so miss you babe.

sorry to put your name under a "P/S" again, but this post is about my eyelids (call me boring -v-) and I don't know how to relate you to eyelids LOL

P/S/5

Working on the "homework" my "daughter", Wendy, assigned lol

若有一天翻開記念冊你可會笑

有些造作一點句子　其實心思不少

daughter is graduating soon TvT mommy is so proud of you...

Have been writing like crazy recently, just sent out 4 letters last week. :P

This should be the best way to show <3<3<3.

Back to Textbooks.

"天亮了，我要起床上學去。"

>> 這是我小學一年級時中文課本內的第一課課文。

也就是有生以來學習過的第一篇中文"文章"(沒念幼稚園TvT!)

一篇課文竟可這麼短!小學雞可真幸福!

(但當時應該已覺得要學會寫這短短一句句子裡的所有生字,也有難度:P)

媽媽常笑著回憶那時候替我們溫習時遇到的困難,

例如妹妹小一時,學習英文課本裡的第一句英文句子:

"Hello Mary, how are you?"

她永遠把"Mary"拼寫成"Mray" -__-

小妹妹當時非常懊惱,好像無論她多努力拼,也不能把"Mary"寫對 xD`

2013新年新目標之一的[每早喝一杯水]順利地進行了7天-_-!yes!

一月七日

第二學期的開始

要背起書包出門了

(也好!反正留在家裡也只會悶得發瘋,這學期快點開始=快點完結=快點暑假!! ^0^)

乘地鐵時可以幹什麼?
當然是聽開學歌... -0-

[明愛暗戀補習社] -__-

do do do do do do dododo... (起舞!)

先生早!校長早!各位早!
誰共我研討展開初戀的 態度 ,,,

History makes me cry

Chemistry makes me Cryy

Biology makes me CRYYY ! T/\T

(lol.我需要冷靜下來...)

(開學後便沒那麼多空閒時間聽音樂了..以往乘車上學/回家時,也要"分秒必爭"地看書/聽錄音T_T嗚...)

第一節課..
又是Neuron -v-

今年注定是你的天下...

放學後綵排... (還有兩個月便開show了!)
有點像中學時代,放學後要參與啦啦隊排練 :P

小學/中學時期的我,很喜歡開學日。

*期待背起新書包上學(每年換一個書包:),

[印象最深的兩個書包分別是:

小四時的百變小櫻"拉車書包"

(那時像個阿姨般拉著買菜車(書包)四處走-_-),

但那款書包是當時最時髦的!!(自豪!);

還有中一時的全粉紅色,滿佈小豬圖案的背囊

(買的時候我心想:嘩!係我最鐘意既粉紅色呀!個款又潮!`

過幾年後回想:做乜個時買個咁樣衰既書包-.-!

現在提起也不禁臉紅=.=好尷尬!]

*期待用新買的文具,新買的筆盒:3

[不知有多少人跟我一樣,如要借用別人的文具,寫字時總有點不自在,上課也不能很專注._.]

*有時候在暑假期間修了新髮型,會期待開學時讓同學"欣賞"我的新形象xD

*但最最最令我期待的,便是老師重新編排的坐位:D

[開學的第一天,

老師便會叫我們在課室門前排隊,然後再逐一指示我們到新的位置就坐!

整個過程非常刺激!!!

我往往也是很著急`想知道我的摯友/仇人(:P)跟我坐得近不近!]

其實,開學最令人興奮的事,是一個新開始。
舊的科目,可以忘掉,
舊的分數,可以忘掉!
(今天終於知道了上學期的所有考試成績-_- 幸好沒有令人震驚的分數)
又一個可以重新證明自己能力的機會:D
努力唷! >v<

P/S
飲食記錄:

前天煮的燘排骨...
留學這幾年間,也要真心謝謝姑媽常讚美我的廚藝-v-
(或許她只是要求很低/她的讚嘆太誇張)
但就如補習天王張欣欣在他的facebook上某篇感言中所提出
"廚藝是"讚"出來的!" -_-
對呀! 被讚美後往往會有動力再"煮"下去,
所以如果想身邊人的廚藝快點進步...
最有效的方法是給予他們多點讚美lol

P/S/2
