Last Monday of 2013

Oh reede, sa olid vahva... Ehk siis New Years Party meie ülikooli restoranis (ja mul oli taaskord tähetund, kus pääsesin lavale ja sain hiina keeles laulda).
//
Oh Friday, you were so nice... Basically, we had this wonderful New Years Party at the restaurant of our university (and once again I had the opportunity to get on that stage and sing in Chinese).

The making of  汤圆

Tangyuan ehk 汤圆 - traditsiooniline hiina uusaasta maius. Riisijahule lisatakse pisut vett, sellest voolitakse tainas ja sisse läheb magus musta seesamiseemne pasta. Seejärel pallikesed keedetake ja voila!

Tangyuan or 汤圆 - a traditional treat for the Chinese New Year. After adding water to glutinous rice flour, one gets a doug. Sweet black sesame seed paste goes inside of these, then one has to boil them and voila!

Jah, ma sõin kartulisalatit söögipulkadega. See oli erakordne.

Yes, I ate potato salad with chopsticks. It was an extraordinary experience.


Ja nüüd mu kohutavalt masendav nädalavahetus, kus kogu aeg kulus essee kirjutamise peale. See on nüüd õnneks seljatatud, aga hei! Kõigest nädala pärast on juba hiina keele eksamid! Ja selle nädala sisse mahub aastavahetus ja juba eos on etteaimata, et kahel päeval on produktiivsus võrdne nulliga.

And bits from an absolutely dreadful weekend, which was fully spent on writing an essay in Chinese. Good thing this is over now, but hey! We still have the chinese exams in a week! And this week also includes greetind the New Year, so I already have a feeling that the overall productivity for these two days will be zero.

Lektüüri koguneb, aga lugemiseks aega pole :(
//
There are so many things I want to read and so little time to actually get to any of them :(
