it's always a choc party @ my apt

i'm back at iglu again, for y1 sem2. my winter break spent in singapore has been none other than superduper trooper amazing. (and the only processed food i ate was 2 blocks of ritter sport which is such a milestone considering i ate when i was bored and hungry. and bored comes often since it was the holidays. buying ingredients like coconut milk and cream, bananas, medjool dates and veges made it easier for me to keep to my preferred lifestyle. truth be told, i'm very weak in the face of food)
and i've cycled a lot too!! unfortunately the wheel of my blue bike burst a few days before i left.... need to get that fixed heh
oooo and the weather here in aussie is really pleasant, probably because of the additional thermals i brought over and thanks to the thick comfy home socks i bought when b + j came over.
speaking of which, after bathing when my mirror becomes all misty, i found an outline of a cock yes that disgusting little girl jolene drew it on my mirror i was appalled.

this time i'm delving deeper into the vegan cookbooks (aka instagrams and blogs) and striving for a fully plant-based, unrefined whole foods lifestyle ~*not diet~*
fortunately my trusty blender did not have any travel mishaps and arrived here in one piece (together with me the human)!!! now i get to make all the vegan goods i want yet not spend so exorbitantly on it at vegan cafes!!!! the basic elements are all i need. that and a little bit of time. nuts, dates, buckinis, coconut oil, fruit, coconut shavings, flax and chia seeds, gojis, cocoa powder and i must foray into the lucuma and carob unknown ground too apparently they taste seriously amazing.

speech has gotten all full force upon day 1 of week 1. everything came like wham bam- already at the first day of school we tore through neuroanatomy and 2 days later, had a 2-hour prac for which we were supposed to prepare for, with the assumed knowledge that all the lecture slides are registered in our brains. beautiful.
i do love neuroscience though!!! and by psychologically bringing myself to love it, hopefully i'll have greater motivation to study it.
everyday i feel blessed that i get to study super relatable and interesting stuff and that i get to do it with great friends too. i constantly get afraid that the more i say this, the more the situation gets jinxed but
it's time for me to stop and get my shit together because i don't want to get back into a pity-party mood ever again. never ever again please.
this is who i am and i'm not afraid to show it k k k k k k k

so many things i wish i got to record here yet the internet lags terribly on the mobile app
my first aim is to keep a food log and recipe list of my meals for future reference in case i run dry.
OOOOO i love soups and week 1 of uni was all about soups (fyi i had some 2 month expired soups which i froze beforehand and fortunately it was all alright except that one time in lecture i had to go... hurhur) then after my expired soups i moved on to make a huge pot of broccoli, carrot, potato soup with quinoa, barley, chickpea and lentils!!!! it was 4 serves which makes it super quick to prepare, it's almost a miracle considering i waited an hour for 1 serving of veggies to roast. (bc i was madly into roasted veg the previous semester)

peace out & do yoga!!!!!!!
