Living alone means doing everything alone. You wash your clothes yourself. You cook yourself. You clean the room yourself. You prepare your gym clothes yourself. Everything done by self, get it?
So today I went to the gym for the first time since I got here to London. I had a great workout. Lifted and ran for a total of 2 and a half hours. Loads of sweat. Felt great and erased most of my negativity. BUT... then problem came. I DIDNT BRING AN EXTRA PAIR OF BOXERS!!! I actually didnt realize that I didnt bring an extra pair of boxers AFTER spending my time in the sauna in my original sweaty boxers. (Usually I go in sauna naked but all the UK people were wearing boxers inside so I figure I should just follow them) So I have the choice of wearing a pair of SOAKED boxers or not wearing them. Let's guess what I did.
I went and do groceries shopping after gym. I have been reading on how to cook a corn & tofu soup. (I should really start a topic on tofu because that's actually the only *REAL* chinese food that a common westerner will eat. I don't understand why no one else has made a point about it) Buying canned sweet corn was easy. Tofu was the difficult part. You would THINK that tofu is so common worldwide that you can get it in any supermarket. In fact, I have never been inside a US or UK supermarket that doesn't have it. Well there is a first time to everything, the supermarket I went to had NO tofu. The best alternative I had was fried tofu. I bought it and made the soup with fried tofu anyway... By the way.. the soup was a failure.
I lived in the US alone before too but I think living in HK with my mom and maid has made me totally lost my independent skills. Chances are that by the time I learn how to cook again I will be back in HK spoiled by my mom and my maids again...
oh yea... time for the answer from earlier. For the first time in my life, I didn't wear boxers inside my jeans today. The feeling was quite free, actually made me question if i should actually give up boxers...

Mr. Gary, me too, I haven't cooked for 3 years la. Let's cook more and provide us some nice food when you come back, yea ~
Tofu and corn soup.. my style
f* baby corn! use real sweet corn, carrots and pork.. (forgot which part, but there's one part that's specially delicious for making soup and the fattier the tastier), but non fat is ok, cuz you already got carrots and real corns. add salt once the soup is done, i think you boil everything for 2 hour-ish...
give up boxers, go for boxer briefs.. real comfortable
its Leo by the way, but i havent write anything since i made this account
