12/21/08, the official start of Winter. What do I like about Winter, and what do I hate about it? First, the cold. I like warmth and hate the cold. I like waking up and settling deeper into my warm sheets instead of getting up and walking around a cold room. I like hot baths in which I can just soak in for a while. I like watching snow fall through my window. I like walking through the fresh snowfall. I hate shoveling the crap after it's been stepped on. I like sitting on my couch with a blanket wrapped around me while sipping some hot tea. I like hibernating and sleeping most of the day. I hate not being able to go out as much because no one else wants to hang out in the cold.
Cold or not, there's always a feeling of refreshment when you step out and feel the the brisk winter air. Perhaps it's only until Christmas that this feeling lasts, because I certainly start to despise the cold from January onwards.
It's been about a week since Winter break started, and so far it has been quite an uneventful break indeed. Of course, I know that many people are busy with studying and work and family, and that I should be as well, but being how I am, I always make it out as a procrastinator. My first big event for this Winter is Winter Potluck which will take place on Tuesday the 23rd. Once again, I have invited a bit too much people, and think I might have some trouble accommodating them all. 25 people is quite a bit to feed. Of course, this is a potluck so hopefully enough people can bring enough food to make this event successful.
The menu that myself and several guests have prepared consists of:
Egg Salad + Bread "Chips"
Shrimp Tempura

Fried Rice or some sort of Asian noodles
