Edit: SOMEONE complained that I made the occasion sound boring, so FINE, I shall pump some passion into it yeah?

Went out with my cousin to Books Kinokuniya on Sunday afternoon after church. We wore watching outfits! :
1. playsuit
2. white cap
3. birks
It was hilarious when people stared at us and pretended to treat us like we were normal. Totally fun. Shall try that with striped knee highs another time.

Anyway, we went back to my house, where we were having a gathering with my cousins later that night and Hansel(panda, Des, whatever la) was coming slightly earlier to learn how to make sushi.

Well, the sushi lesson was pushed wayyy back since we reached home late so I just practised Sonata in C(still can't get those super fast notes and my fingers jumble up ARGHHH) till my hands were knackered.

Ok then, to the sushi crash course Hansel got! He didn't get any hands on "training" because there was insufficient time so he just snapped photos all the way. And I kid you NOT, he takes a LOT of photos.

The ingredients for the sushi filling...

Tuna with mayo and black pepper(I have to admit it looks a bit like compost here)

Chicken Teriyaki and Unagi

Organic Nori(Japanese seaweed) on the rolling mat

So in case you're wondering, this is pearl rice. You just press and spread it into the Nori.

And you put the filling on the rice in a line.(That's octopus)

(And THIS is tuna)

Roll it. I thught he took tons of photos on the rolling but I guess he thought it was too ugly to be put onto his blog (while insignificant photos like the Doraemon magnets were nice) so there are NO photos showing the process of rolling.
Yeah, this is the roll you get after rolling. It's a lot harder than it looks!!!

Made lots of rolls.

Needless to say, cutting it comes next!

And somehow he CHOSE to post this lame picture of our fridge magnets. I didn't even realise they were Doraemon. Observant.

The sushi for our dinner.

The rest of the dinner. Some salads(including Kartoffelnsalat), fries, pizza(not yet made).

And somewhere betweent he soup drinking and food observing part of dinner, Hansel chose to flaunt his Deutsch and asked me, "Was ist das?". It took me awhile to realise that he was speaking in German, to which I replied, "I don't know." But I guess he really WANTED a german answer so he was all, "You should say ich weiss es nicht." I think it was that point that I started to ignore him and his sister told him to stop boasting.

Oh right! When Sheila(I'm not using "other cousin" now) took a sushi, she dropped it but then managed to save it. And then the 3 of them(namely Sheila, Stella and Hansel) went on to remind me of my egg accident.

And my Stella's tomato-redpepper soup. It's really nice I have to say. And trust Hansel to think that it's Chili sauce.

Chocolate fondue! My piano teacher gave us this fondue set for a Xmas-housewarming gift. You can always get it at Carrefour together with the chocolates.

That's pretty much it for the photos.

Then of course, my cousins and I went to watch really funny youtube videos that I didn't even know existed. I didn't realise they were such big Youtube fans. Oh, and I probably pissed them off when I started to rate and comment each video. LOL, it's my habit! I feel uncomfortable if I don't read the comments.

Oh right, and I also helped another cousin with her History SBQ on Communist Russia(not that I minded. I quite like doing it compared to Science. *shudders*). Geez, I'm making it sound as if I have a million cousins. Nah, I only have 7.
