It has been an upside down week for me. Probably the first time I experience what people commonly refer to as "jet lag", even though I did not even lay a toe on a plane. Back to back duties together with other activities are a deadly combination. First time in a long time I had trouble going to sleep. Coming to think of it, I started to have some slight sleeping disorder even before Wednesday. A few days before that, I already had disrupted sleep, waking up from time to time just to realise that it was only an hour just after I had gone to sleep or a few hours before I had to wake up. I need some remedy that would help me to sleep soundly and wake up exactly when I have to (inclusive of in the middle of the night to pee if I have to because I would not exchange an undisturbed sleep for a soiled bed).

I had probably eaten the most expensive Chicken Mcnuggets in my whole life this week. You would not have guessed the cost of each nugget. They cost 95 cents each! I can't believe that I could actually bring myself to swallow those six miserable pieces of nuggets. With the same amount of money, I could have had the nuggets as well as a drink and some fries to go with it and even have some shillings to spare. Even in Brussels, nuggets weren't that expensive. After all that talk about nuggets, I am beginning to feel hungry. My apologies if you too are starting to crave for those golden brown nuggets dipped in barbecue or curry sauce.

First time I tried whipping up some food for dinner. It obviously excludes all those times I fried an egg or cooked instant noodles. This was slightly more challenging than just grabbing and a few minutes later, it's done kind of cooking. Shopping for groceries and preparation of the ingredients had to be done. I prepared mushroom fried with carrots and celery with thick tasty gravy (minus the gravy). Somehow it ended up rather dry, not with the thick tasty gravy I had in mind while preparing the dish. I can probably consult my grandma for a solution to that. My mum knows nuts about cooking. That would mean that I probably only know bolts about cooking. Nuts and bolts. Oh well. Anyway, the apart from the lack of the thick tasty gravy, everything else was perfect (minus the fact that there was not enough). All thanks to my natural skill at cooking.

Someone teach me how to cook and bake and prepare food. I don't want to go hungry in future nor search for a rat to pull my hair so that I can have food to eat. And when I can finally find someone to teach me how to cook, I will also need people to eat what I have cooked. When will the search end?

A brand new feature, if you can notice. I have been sufficiently irritated by it all over the place that I have decided to add it in here as well. Here's Grieg for you. I feel that one of the main themes seem to have come from the New World Symphony. Tell me if I'm wrong.
