AC E-xpression's 1st Anniversary!
Today is my one year! Holy shit!
At the beginning, the whole purpose of this blog was to gain some self-discipline in writing. I haven't always done two posts per week but I think I did pretty well considering that real life exists and all that.
Thank you to all my readers: I hope you've been somewhat entertained by the more crazy shit I've written and you can be sure to look forward to even more in the new year!

Chinese New Year 2013 (Belated)
Chinese New Year is one of those holidays where I think I have enough time to do stuff (like write a blog post), but I really don't. I did not receive any red pocket money because I'm too "old" for it.
-_-"
Seriously?
Anyway, the food was great as per usual.

| Food level: Epic. This doesn't seem like much, but you should have seen the other table and the kitchen island. |
Happy (belated) Chinese New Year!

Happy New Year 2013
Happy New Year and all that jazz.
I had dumplings for breakfast.
This should probably be a post of Shit Chinese People Eat because not a lot of people can stomach svoury dumplings for breakfast. Neither can I most of the time, so thankfully New Years only comes twice a year. (January 1st New Year and Chinese New Year. I know how to count, damn it!)
Anyway, dumplings for breakfast is part of Chinese tradition. It's derived from the term "yuan bao" which is roughly translated into "coin full." So having dumplings first thing in the morning on New Years implies that one would gain wealth and riches for the year. Sometimes people put a coin in there for extra luck. (Fucking unsanitary, I swear.)
I could be wrong about the whole thing since I wasn't entirely awake and coherent when I asked my mom about it this morning. I was also quite distracted by the steam rising from the rooftop of the garage.

Happy Holidays
I did not expect to be so freaking busy during the holidays but I was.
My family doesn't celebrate Christmas in terms of exchanging gifts and putting up decorations and all the jazz, but I made dinner.
 |
| 2.83kg of top sirloin roast beef. We are on day 4 of leftovers. |
Roast beef came out juicy and tender; cooked fucking perfectly. (I love you master chef oven!)
The vegetables were a bit soggy but the potatoes were soft.
A belated Happy Holidays to you all.

Happy Halloween 2012
There's nothing more morbid than staying in to watch a documentary on a child wanna-be killer on stormy Halloween night.
With the lights off too.
I'm also going to watch a couple of Doctor Who episodes: "Silence in the Library" (S4E8) and "Forest of the Dead" (S4E9). In my opinion, they're the scariest episodes in the series so far.
Happy Halloween and for fuck's sake stop the fireworks before 2am, okay?

Happy 25th Birthday to Me!
I'm a quarter of a century old today, oh my God.
The celebrations officially began on Saturday with dim sum for brunch with my family and then Thai food for dinner with some friends. On Sunday I slept in and went to a birthday gathering that a friend held for me at her place. Dinner consisted of Braised Lamb Shank with grilled veggies and mashed potatoes at Chaise Lounge:
So delicious and filling.
PS - I worked something out with my parents so I no longer have to move. Yay! ^o^
PPS - Ah, Canucks. Better luck next year.
