#1886 Korean School 2.17 + Lunch

Today the last day of my second semester of Korean school

We watched a Korean movie 'Punch'

I actually didn't pay many attention to it

The story line wasn't really my genre

Only Yoo In Ah was a watch LOL 

Jessica and I made some food for our friends

Pandan cake with cream and chocolate by Jessica

Honey Chicken wings, Piri Piri wings, cheese rolls 

and spring onions pancakes by me!

I all made it this morning and took me like 2 hours!!

We also 'celebrated' Chuseok 

The children in hanbok are so cute!!

We learned the 'Gangnam style' horse dance

It was fun !! ..

So I'm graduated from Intermediate 1 with an average of a 8

Next week I will start with Intermediate 2!

I don't know if I can survive

Because the pressure is very high!!

After school I had lunch with my friends @ Luxo

I haven't eat bread for a while

BUT there wasn't many choices 

My Ciabatta with smoked chicken breast ...

#1885 Today On Menu

Today I made something new!

Its egg muffin with peas and chicken mix meat!!

 I love eggs!! And I also love this!

But maybe I should make bigger ones because these were to small!!

Also got dumplings and wanton soup again!

I never get bored of it!

Because I love it ^.^

#1884 Today On Menu

Today I made something simple!

Mushroom ragout from a can!

I only added some spring onion

The chicken meatballs are from a sachet that I only need to heat up in the microwave

The rice took the most time!!

When everything was done I still needed to wait for the rice!!

The combination from ragout and rice is really weird!

I won't recommend it!

It's better with pastry!

And the Korean chicken meatballs are OK .. Only the sauce was to much ginger and I don't like ginger!

I won't eat this again!! Lol

Only the cucumber marinated by my mother ^.^

#1883 You Are The Apple Of My Eye

English: You Are The Apple Of My Eye
Chinese: 那些年，我们一起追的女孩
Year: 2011
Genre: Comedy/Romance/Friendship
Director: Giddens Ko
Time: 1.49 min

This time it's my time to watch the Taiwanese movie
'You are the Apple of my Eye'
I haven't watch a Chinese language movie for a while.
I don't even remember what my last one was.

So this movie was really popular?
The movie or the stars?
Well I guess it's both only some parts of the movie were not suitable for children!
You will know which parts I mean if u watch the movie ^.^

So do you like the movie ?
The story line was good in the beginning but rush after they were graduated.
I like the time when they were in high school!

The ending was a happy one but I don't mind if they got another one!
The memories were really touching!
It was also the only moment I shed a tear because other parts weren't touching enough!
But the sudden kiss through the memories .. what's that about?

I always like to watch Michelle Chen on screen
And still want to see 'Hear Me'
But her performance here was overshadowed by Ko Chen Tung
Who really did a great performance!

Oh and especially love the song 'Those Bygone Years'
The song makes me want to cry every time

Summary:
Ko Teng has several close friends who had a crush on Shen Chia-Yi. Those friends of Ko's thus moved in unison from Ching Chengs junior high school straight into the senior high school division in pursuit of her.

Naughty in nature, Ko was ordered by their homeroom teacher to sit in front of honor student Shen for her to keep close tabs on him. The two hadn't hit it off at first but Ko gradually fell for Shen, who was always pressuring him to study hard. On the other hand, Shen became impressed by the contrasting values Ko represented. Ko started pursuing Shen but Shen remained hesitant.

After graduation from senior high, Ko and Shen almost became a couple but the deal was spoilt by a dukeout competition organized by Ko. Growing up together to witness their beloved Shen walking down the aisle to become someone elses wife, these boys have learned their coming-of-age lessons and continue to pursue eachs happiness.

#1880 All You Can Eat

Today my day off ..
I went to Amsterdam to have dinner with some friends

First I meet up with Jessica to have some bubble tea/shake from the shop in the 'Kalvertoren'
I took a Taro bubble shake and Jess a Caramel Mocha bubble tea.

Well what can I say?
The first sip was taro taste but after it it was like a vanilla milkshake..
Jess' one was to sweet and don't really have the taste from the Caramel and mocha ..
Really disappointed, because in the earlier years it was in my opinion much much better!
Maybe I should try another one?
Or I will make it by myself lol ..


I had dinner @ an Argentines restaurant (I forgot the name) with Jessica, Jan Willem and Haewon

All you can eat!! Not sushi
But Spareribs
Well 2 ribs were enough to fill my stomach that I only need one round.
Some of the spareribs were to dry but it was delicious ..
To bad we couldn't choose for the garlic one .. I like garlic!!

It was to have dinner with my friends!
Many chit chats .. I like!
Next time again!!

Because the place is dark my pictures are also dark and not very clear ..

#1879 Oysters

Wow so many oysters ..
My sister pick it up near the sea (?)

We eat them raw and steamed some ..
Used some soy sauce with vinegar as dip or XO sauce
Delicious but very scary after many ...
I really want to oven bake it with cheese but there wasn't any @ home

I never open an oyster before ..
My first time and I opened like 50 pieces.
After my hands were just hurt and some skin were open..

#1878 Korean School 2.18 + Bazaar

First @ all ..
I passed my Intermediate 1 exam with an average of a 8
Not really happy I could get higher and also because I didn't prepare for my oral test!
I got the worst for this section! SIGH
But it's fine!
What give me more trouble is that I don't know if I continue or not with Korean School... Dilemma !!

The 'last' lesson of this semester!
We finished all the chapters of the first book!
I probably will buy the second book no matter if I continue or not
I think I can use it for 'my home study

Next week we don't have lesson the week after it we have a movie day and will end the March semester ..
Hope all my classmates/friends can come so our class is complete again?

After school some friend and I went to Korean charity bazaar in Amstelveen.
Well what can I say?
It was boring!! There wasn't many choices of food anymore because we were late!
Had some tteokboki, fish cakes and some fried sweet potatoes what was really delicious ..

We also went to Mom in the Kitchen to some groceries ..
I actually want to look for something but when I was there I couldn't think what I want lol .. So after all I totally forgot to look for it lol ..

Jeff and Jessica brought me to my work where they had some food
Thanks for the ride ^.^
