soup day

Today first time opened the hot water bag/cushion to use. Don't know why but I was feeling cold this morning. No doubt it was raining but temp was about 7°C so it shouldn't be that cold! Anyway I thought it snowed a bit this morning..looked like raining foam..couldn't capture a picture of it though cos it lasted probably less than a minute.

Spent today doing up my research proposal and also my assignment. I'm not sure if my proposal will be ready for submission by next Fri. And so coincidental that my 2nd boss gg hol..I wanted her to have a look before I submit..anyway she offered help if I needed also. And cos she's heading to Perth, shared some notes with her and reminisce my Perth trip with Elain...come to think of it, we were quite gungho to drive so far..haha..Hope to be able to go on such road trips again soon!!

Poppy was irritating today...I think she wants me to play with her but she scratched her paws on my feet or pounce up to my thigh to get my attention! Dislike it so scolded her. Kept barking to ask for treat when she didn't even finish her dinner. I ignored her at first then when she started pouncing up and scratching me, I had no choice but give in. Don't worry, she didn't scratch me leaving any marks or scars. Grrrr! I think I've no patience with pets! Esp not when I'm busy with work!

Cooked soup soba with mushrooms and wong bok and ikan bilis for lunch today. Smelled with home! Hehe..I forgot my carrots..else it won't look so brown. The soba was quite Q!

And for dinner, cooked 何首乌补血汤 from the packet my friend sent over. Added 4 pork ribs, 3 chicken thighs and 1 drumstick. It tastes more like black bean soup actually..haha! Not bad but 党参 taste not strong enough.

Notice how long the pork ribs are!

After discussing with A., I added more info on the toxicokinetics of substances and now sitting beyond the word limit. Have to cut it down later or tmr. Plan to go Aldi tmr (forecast is sunny!) to see if they have the long boots they advertise. The problem with Aldi is their stocks are very limited...don't think I wanna go Selly Oak one though. Not sure..shall see how. Need to do some grocery shopping again for carrots, eggs, rice. But I guess next week is fine too after Uni..just may be a bit sian la..
