A bowl of rice topped with eggs

Yesterday I made a 쯔유. 쯔유 is a basic soy sauce of Japan.
And also I cookEd the bowl of rice topped with eggs. (Sorry I didn't
make my pic look better, so it doesn't look tasty.)

Though I made that by myself, It tastes really awesome! So I cooked that for today's lunch.

If you have time to cook. Try it! I think you guys will be happy if you make this!

Today is a happy day

People think, “ how happy I would be if I won the lottery!” or “How I wish I could be good looking and beautiful!" something like that, and then they feel unhappy due to what they lack. However, as we have been told, happiness is closer than we think. There is a funny story in an Indian folk tale. It’s about a fisherman who threw the stones from the small sack that he had picked up, into the river, but the stones were unfortunately precious jewelry. As many folk tales do, the story has a very figurative lesson for life. That’s why I always try to be happy in the moment that I live in now, not tomorrow, and at the place where I exist now, not anywhere else. What an amazing quote: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift!

Aced it.

A small chance to express yourself to the world isn't something that comes to you everyday. This gig the school managed to arrange for the first grade students gave me the very opportunity to finally show off my amazing speech techniques! Yay for me!

I'm not trying to be cocky, that's not me! Really! It's the environment I'm in that turned me into a monster craving for any public opportunity to show off my skills. No highschool students in Korea ever get a chance to do anything other than studying. Wait, did I say studying? I meant suffering unwillingly.

Anyhow, this contest is supposed to be called: The Munseong Dream Festival. (Munseong is the name of my school.)
Of course, NOBODY believed that it was an actual Dream-Festival. Beh. A dream festival? Does that even make any sense? It was a quickly improvised contest, I could see that. Still it was as much as we were going to get, so now I had to make the best of it, didn't I?


So, what did I have to talk about?

Well, I have a confession to make.

I.LOVE.CARS.
I love those adorable yet magnificent creations. I've admired them from my childhood, and since my first ride in a pearl-gray Porsche 993 at age 11, a car was the one and only thing I truly loved.


Obviously, my one and only future dream job is an Automotive dynamics engineer (or, for short, the Engie.)

I created a short, well, relatively short Prezi presentation file for an 8 minute speech, which later turned out to be an 11 minute speech. It wasn't half bad. I put in some fancy transition effects and my hand-drawn clip arts and stuff.. It was a pretty good one, if I may say so.


So I marched up to the stage, took the remote controller handed to me, and proudly announced

"Hello, ladies and gents. It is my great honor to present to you...
Uranus."

FYI, the presentation was half Korean and half English, so I'm pretty sure it 'loosened up' the uncomfortable air a bit.

That was definitely a good start.

At the end, I bowed, stood up again, and..

returned to the photo of Uranus.


Applauded enthusiastically by the audience, I walked off the stage with a satisfying grin and sat back down in my seat.

The next day was the review and the result.




Yes, I aced it.


First prize was a brand new Lenovo notebook. Although it WAS brand new, it was no better than a bare naked chromebook. lol




(I once said that thing about cars to my girlfriend. She suddenly turned red and angrily kicked me in the knees. Oh, good old days. )
