I am finally done with this tedious routine. What a relief! Yahoo!

Last Friday, I was stressed out after attending a notationally heavy class which I did not understand. Symbols such as 
So, after class, a bunch of my classmates (apparently I was not alone) decided to get some beer on Franklin Street. I was rather tired, so I did not join them. But I decided to get a bottle of wine while I do my grocery shopping before heading home. I got myself a bottle of sauvignon blanc, and when the cashier rang it up, I handed her my driver’s license for ID verification. She politely declined; when I perused the receipt, the spot that usually indicates the customer’s date of birth stated instead “Cashier has bypassed age verification.“
My goodness, I am not even in my late 20s, yet!

My teaching is going well thus far. Even though Math 110 (College Algebra) covers elementary material, but introducing the notion of quadratic equations to first-time learners does require considerable amount of effort. Students generally find completing the square absurdly hard to perform. Nonetheless I am enjoying this experience, since deep down of a corner of my heart, I am passionate about being an educator.

Last weekend was the Labor Day weekend. I was in the mood of hosting a small and simple dinner with some of my friends in the Mathematics Department. I invited two friends, Carole Agyeman-Prempeh and Indrani Rao, to my humble abode.
Almost done cooking
Carole arrived before I was even done preparing the meal, which was nice, as I had someone to chat with while cooking.
Boston lettuce, drunken chicken, and seafood platter
Voilà! The dinner I prepared consisted of three main entrées: Boston lettuce with oyster sauce, Chinese style drunken chicken (a cold dish), and seafood platter with tamarind sauce. I had a pot of herbal chicken soup to complement these dishes.
Myself, Carole, and Indrani
After dinner, we went over to Indrani’s apartment (she lives in a neighborhood which is 15 minutes walk away) to taste some chocolate cake that she baked. It was a wonderful way to spend a relaxing evening.
Seriously, you can cook way better than me! *ashamed*
I wonder if I have the chance to taste your cooking… hahaha.
And wow, the people there do have to check your ID when you purchase liquor?
Come on, Li Enn, don’t sell yourself short!
I must say that I will have the pleasure to cook for you when you visit the U.S. in the future
Yeah, the legal drinking age in the U.S. is 21 years old. Stores usually ID their customers especially those who are in their 20’s.
Yerrrr… what if I never get the chance to visit the US?
Wah
Looks like cooking of a pro chef haha
Must try your cooking next time (wonder when…?)
Haha… I am sure you know when!
