Ahh, it's always over before you know it -- Free weekends!!! Had one the past week and did not have to look at schoolwork AT ALL Ate lots of yummies recently but I kept forgetting my camera at home!! bummer..... This new thai place in flushing is pretty good "Excellent thai," has quite a few authentic thai dishes there. I've also tried himalayan food recently, but I always wonder how authentic it can be being that the restaurant is in New York. Based on my experience with thai food -- thai food in NY is super watered down and right down sucky compared to real thai food in thailand!

Bought 10$ of Alaskan Salmon Roe, mixed it with shiso leaves ^_^ YUM

Haha things I do when I get bored:

Your Result: Pure Hearted

You generally care about people and have a heart of gold! Whenever you see someone in need, you rush to their side. You're a little but shy, but that's okay. A lot of people depend on you and want to be your friend--and you don't let it go to your head!

Hmm, sounds like I'm good for nursing! hahaha...

                School has been nothing but boring. My summer session classes include Elderly and Pediactrics. The lecturers are just ramblers and they hardly get through 10 out of 22 slides!!!! Then we are told to learn the rest on our own that we'll be able to figure them out -__-!! I hate teachers like that. we PAY THEM TO TEACH US, but now we hv to teach ourselves, what's the point? I know most schools have this type of professor, but I expected more for the $$$$$ i' m paying for @ NYU. I've came across too many of these teachers in just 2+ semesters here... I want to bash NYU at some forums.
                I wish the professors can energize the class with their enthusiasm to teach and have that genuine-ness that affects all their students, I've met ONE professor at nyu that fits those characteristics. ONE!
                Went to a BBQ on Sunday, got 9 misquito bites, one under my eye!! Looks horrible. >_< i hate misquitos... what would the world be like without them I wonder... How do they benefit the food chain....... argh. hahaha
                Etsy has been slow as usual now.. poopcakes is hving business, but on the slow side according to my expectations. THas okay, i don't have too much time to tend to it. I still adore my grey kitty I made last week ^-^ (posted in the last posting) heee
                Vacation in August... Hopefully my bf can get the 4 weeks off so we can visit thailand/hk/china again, but if not, prolly settle with Hawaii.... Never been to Hawaii !

Yay! Finally have time for new designs!

       I like spending time home alone with the cats :] I get to do whatever I want. Made a few new poopcakes designs yesterday and today, one of which is a custom order so that will be sold soon too ( cute shit). YAY! Tomorrow is gonna be a very fun-filled day. I'm bringing over my needle felting supplies to my best friend's house to do some crafts. I admit I have neglected my mangoavocado etsy shop for some time, I actually needle felted another cream colored kitty last night. Prolly needle felt some poOpies tomorrow haha.. Dinner will be interesting tomorrow, meeting up a few old buddies for Korean cuisine. Personally, I am not fond of Korean cuisine... but I'll go with the flow and hope for the best~

   I can't wait till my bf books the airline tickets to HK + Thailand!!!!! It will be a great reliever for my busy hectic summer session that will start may 26th!!

Anyways, here are some recent yummies and creations:
