I'm finally on holiday!!! Whee~
Okay, actually, I'm not officially on holiday yet because the school here has classes all the way till freaking Xmas day! Seriously, classes on Xmas?! This is the first school I've come across that does this kind of thing lor! So anyway, I've decided to pon classes on Thursday and Friday so I'm on holiday now!
The day before, Sou-chan went fishing and he caught like lots of puffer fish so he brought over puffer fish sashimi~! My first time eating puffer fish, whee~ I missed out on a chance to eat puffer fish the last time I was studying in Japan and I regretted so much but now, I'm happy and contented. Unlike salmon sashimi, puffer fish sashimi is kinda hard, or should I say chewy? My host family was telling me last year that they dont like it because of it's texture but it actually tasted really good to me. And somemore it was free so =D (Why am I so like that?!...lol)
Yesterday, we had Steamboat 7 at Toku's house. The steamboat this time was different because it was an all-veggie one! Really healthy and delicious!
Sake that Sou-chan brought over! I used to think that there was only one kind of sake but after coming to Hiroshima, I realised that I was wrong all along. There are like so many freaking different kinds of sake and all of them taste different! I cant even tell pork from chicken nor beef but even I can tell that there's a difference in the taste of different sakes. Kind of interesting to taste-test the different sakes.
Had takoyaki next! Havent made takoyaki since the last time we had a takoyaki party at Kana's house! Didnt have eggs nor a measuring cup so we basically just mixed the batter until it looked right to us. It turned out pretty chewy the first time but it was fine for me because I love chewy stuff!
I know the filling inside a takoyaki is supposed to be octopus but it doesnt hurt to try new ingredients! I mean, we have the delicious ham & cheese and prawn versions in Singapore, dont we? So it's always good to experiment with different ingredients. You never know when you'll get a right concoction.
Added octopus, tenkasu, chocolate(with nuts somemore), cheese, habanero-flavoured chips and tabasco sauce! The chocolate and cheese ones were really delicious!!!
Alice feeding Toku more takoyaki!
Stopped eating/chit-chatting at around 4am and someone suggested that we go for karaoke so yup, ended up going for karaoke. As we stepped into the room, Sou-chan immediately chose some parapara dance tutorials so we did parapara practice for like 30minutes or so...wtf. First time doing other things than singing at a karaoke place but it was kind of hilarious and once again, I was reminded of how much I suck at dancing.
Parapara!
Did karaoke for like 3 hours before leaving at like 7.45am. I seriously thought that it was only 5am when we left the karaoke place and was wondering why so many people were going to work/school already...wtf. Went back to Toku's place to get some sleep because we had a class at 10.35am but nobody could get up in time. Today was supposed to be my last day of class for this year but I guess it just wasnt meant to be. I think the teacher was probably quite wtf-ed with today's attendance because I know 4 students who didnt show up today.
