Randomness

I had this sudden urge to post pictures today... see that's Serene, Joey and I looking silly. I was thinking about how to have healthy meals in hostel next semester and avoid learning how to cook (yikes) at the same time, and I suddenly missed Joey, the da-jie of my cluster who would very willingly cook us pancakes, pasta, make me cereal, share her mum's lovely mini muffins... and ask us to go eat at Blooies. I miss her her sweetness, her wackyness... and simply having the funniest girls around in the cluster kitchen. But old woman starting work soon, so no more Joey in my cluster.=( Joey, the flowers you gave me on my birthday are my shelf. =)
And I miss still miss my roomie...(we're really happier rooming together than we look in this photo...well, I am! haha) Looks like we caught on Joey's take-silly-photos craze.
And I actually am blogging because I saw this photo on Serene's blog and I really like it a lot! Think it's very typically Serene and typically Chengwei... She in a pink shirt and me in a shirt with shiny words on it. And it reminded me of dao1 xue1 mian4 (I hope the hanyupinyin is correct)... literally translated as use-knife-to-cut noodles... that was one of the best things I tried in China. Like ban-mian, only nicer, smoother, crunchier... and the best part is, it costs about 80 cents.

Work today was completely slack... but I was tired and hungry and cold ALL THE TIME. No idea why, but I was really perpetually hungry the whole day today. The manager forgot to clock me out at 3pm for my break today, leaving me to stand and starve until 4... Chef Joey's always quite nice. I remember I once told him I was starving, so he fried some nuggets, hid it in the drystore and told me to go eat secretly. Today, there was a wrong order, and he said he'll fry me something to eat during my break at 3... which made hungry me very very happy... It was so cold and awful by the time the manager finally remembered to allow me to clock-out, but I was so hungry I practically gobbled it up. And I was STILL starving during dinner shift...
