Questions from thefridayfive

1. What is the last song/bit of music you heard?
I'm currently sitting at Starbucks, so let me soundhound the bgm... they have Altar by Dizy Fae on right now. Dunno. As I'm searching info to see if I can find any other information to add, the bgm's transitioned to heartsigh by Purity Ring. So I guess I shan't look for more info, else it's going to transition to another piece of music that I will think I must write it down LOL.

2. What is the song you can't get enough of right now?
I haven't been listening to music lately. I've been having podcasts on now so I don't much music. I must change that.

3. What song/band did you just discover and think are great?
See #2

4. Do you listen to the same song over and over on repeat? Why?
When there's a tune a particularly like, I would do that, put it on repeat. I'll soon get fed up of it in a day or two then just put back random repeat all.

5. Do you make music, or do you want to?
Like books, movies, and all that, I really like reading/watching/listening more than writing/making. So. I like to consume, and I don't like to create LOL.

Followed by questions from F.riday5.com

1. When did you most recently eat rice, and what did you have with it?
I've been trying to cut carbs so I've been cutting down on the amount of rice I eat and everyone around me knows that but last night Mom bought Hainan Chicken Rice for dinner and you know, if you do not eat the skin of the Chicken and if you do not eat the flavoured rice of the Hainan Chicken Rice then it is an insult to the chicken, to the rice farmer, the chef, and everyone involved in the production of the Hainan Chicken Rice. So. I ate rice last night. Really fatty, oily, Hainan Chicken Rice rice. Random link with recipe and photo.

2. How do you feel about mustard?
I'm ok with mustard. I know with surety 3 types of mustards: "Hot dog mustard", honey mustard, and pommery mustard. I also know dijon mustard but I'm not sure if dijon mustard is actually hot dog mustard though. Favorite is honey mustard because it's not so strong and sharp. But I'm practically ok with all mustards (that I know of).

3. What’s your favorite way to eat corn?
Depends on the type of corn. Usually I'm fine with boiled or grilled whole corn and I'd just eat off the... corn thing... the ear? the cob? LOL. There's a type of I think it's Japanese corn where the kernels are very soft and chewey and that kind I prefer to be plain boiled. There's also a mighty sweet type of Japanese corn that's all nice crunchy but I'm not sure for the few times I've had that, how it was cooked.

4. What’s the best oat-based breakfast cereal?
We're not really big on cereals here. We have the usual Kelloggs and such. So I'm not exactly sure about oat-based cereals, but I can only say oatmeal LOL. The go-to brand for oatmeal here is Quakers I think. There are knock-off Chinese brands of course.

5. What are some great ways to consume sesame seeds?
Sesame's pretty common here but being asked this way I can't think of many examples LOL. Sesame seeds are sprinkled over tossed noodles and some dishes too. But if it's for eating the sesame seeds FOR the sesame seeds then for now I can only think of a type of sesame crunch candy. Something like this. Though for this particular recipe I think it's gonna be very sweet... honey AND sugar??

GAMD: Tour of the apartment

Hello! This seemed like an interesting challenge so here it goes. A house tour, or in my case, an apartment tour. First, a NOT-drawn-to-scale floor plan, I'm no architect, haha. Green brackets are windows. Pink things are doors. We start from the big arrow which is the entrance to the apartment. Oh, and photos are taken in wide-angle, so I don't know... rooms look smaller than they are? or bigger?

So first we are greeted with the Dining Room. Weird how the main entrance leads to the Dining Room? Well, because, originally, this was the living room. The room further off, now marked as living room, was part of the open-top verandah. Mom decided we didn't have enough space to closed off part of the verandah so we could have an extra room. So, the main entrance leads to the Dining Room. We go further in, and that's the living room. Everything's messy and upside down because we have no visitors LOL. If and when there are visitors, Mom would command us to clean up, put the chairs in place, and all that.

( See the rest of the apartment under the cut )

So this is the apartment I live in! Please excuse the mess in... most of the rooms LOL.
