'SHROOMS!

I really should be doing my World Lit 2 draft. Or my Bahasa Indonesia IOP.

In my defense I've been doing it since noon and deserve a break :3

On the other hand I really shouldn't have left my IOP to the last minute (my WL is nearly done :D). Heehee.

(By the way, I'm trying to stop using the word "anyway" as a transition between topics. Must learn to make things flow :3)

Yesterday I went to K's birthday party at a beautiful hotel in Kemang. I don't go to birthday parties very often, but K said this was a small dinner (which I prefer over big parties), and it would be my last chance to go out before exams start (NOOOOO!!!)

The food was so good <3>( I was talking to R about how people were beginning to develop hot ice cubes. Yes, yes, I know. Big contradiction there. Methinks they should hurry up and produce it because I am annoyed that my drinks and soups (and all hot food actually) are constantly going cold. 

The other appetizer was Peking Duck served five different ways. In one I think they shredded the duck meat and mixed it with some salted duck-egg yolk, then put it back into the egg (the whites had been removed). There was also some duck meat that looked nicely browned but was  a little dry for me. :0

The main course was not anything especially exotic. I ordered the tenderloin medium (but when it came out it was the same as J's well-done one. I was too lazy to complain.), and I have to say I didn't envy the people who got the salmon. Recently I've been having an aversion to potatoes--most probably because of all the mashed potatoes I ate from The Four Seasons this Friday. Nevertheless I finished the potatoes on my dish because I used them to scoop up the delicious sauce. <3>

Oh! I just checked out Wiki and morel is in fact a type of mushroom. :3 I want to go back to that restaurant and have that sauce again. Lol. It reminds me of a mushroom dish I had in Trattoria, which, in hindsight, tastes almost the same... Only it wasn't finely diced mushrooms.

The other thing about the morel sauce is that it wasn't creamy. (Lol)

I did something stupid at the party and got my pinky caught in the door. Right on the joint (I have to press the shift key with my ring finger now). Ouch. I can see some swelling and it's turning black. :( And then this morning at church, at the bakmi place a pot lid fell on its thin side right on top of my foot. Some swelling there too. D: So in my defense I did NOT hurt myself twice, but still. >__>

At the party I confided to J and also to S (who I didn't want to tell because she would have thought so little of me XD Lol) that I had seen an insanely cute guy in the Italian Embassy this past Friday. I was so giggly <3>

...

I'm remembering it <3

ANYWAYYY (In my defense, this is a good place to put it) I had fun last night. Everybody looked very nice and we took tons of pictures (I doubt I looked good in any of it, as per usual -____-) If I get pictures I'll put them up :3

Now, excuse me as I tackle my WL and IOP.
