MONDAYS

Whenever I go to bed on a Friday, I  feel nothing but excitement for the fact that the next day will be Saturday. However, I can't say the same thing about Sunday. As I go to bed on Sunday night, I keep telling myself every week in and out that tomorrow is a Monday and I have to keep calm about it as it is a normal day of the week like any other day of the week.

Fast forward to Monday morning, the alarm goes off and it feels like someone is hitting your skull with an axe. When you finally manage to get yourself together and look at your watch you realize you are screwed for the fact that you woke up half an hour late. You jump out of the bed and rush to the washroom only to find your roommate yelling out Adele songs. You then yell at your roommate telling him to shut up and let him know you are running late for school. Once he finally comes out of the wash room, you know you are already late and all you can do is smile.

After taking the shower as quickly as you could you run to your fridge to grab a bite only to see that you ran out off stuff to eat. All you do is curse yourself and then run out of the house with an empty stomach.

Now you make a run to the bus stop which is on the other side of the road and as you are now stuck at a cross walk, you see the bus zoom past you like the wind leaving you helpless.

You finally make your way to class half an hour late and awkwardly enter the class disrupting over 50 people listening to your instructor. The whole class goes quite as they stare at you walking in and looking for a place to seat.As you fumble around looking for a spot and finally take a sit at a very uncomfortable position probably squeezed between two people, you realize there is a better seat just a few meters away. For the sake of not disrupting the class again, you remain rooted to your spot for the whole lecture.

This pretty much describes my MONDAYS and I am yet to learn my lesson.


ME ON A MONDAY

MONGOLIAN FOOD

Ever since I moved to Kamloops one of the things that I really wanted to do is to try foods from different parts of the world and every time I walked by Victoria Street downtown there is this restaurant that always caught my eye.


HOJA
The restaurant is called Hoja Mongolian Grill and I don't know why I found the ''HOJA'' part hilarious. Anyways, seeing this restaurant every time as I walked downtown made me crave Mongolian food because it is something I had never tried before. So one day, my friends and I  decided to give this place a try. We go into the restaurant and I must say the set up was neat and fantastic.


Inside HOJA

My friends and I were really excited once we got right in and immediately went to grab food as we had gone in during the buffet hours. Mongolian restaurants operate in a very unique way and this is due to the fact that they let you pick everything you want eat in raw form prior to cooking them in front of you while you watch.There were like 15 different items that we had options to pick from. These options ranged from a variety of meats to vegetables and also included different types of pasta not forgetting the most popular Asian food which is rice. You get to pick all these types of foods in raw form according to your tastes and preferences and choose spices along with different sauces and oils for the whole mixture. After picking everything we would like to eat, we headed to the chef who was at the front of the restaurant who artistically stir fried our food until it was all ready.

Highly customizable food selection process

Once the food was ready, we went to eat and my biggest fear was the fact that I had mixed things without any thoughts during the food selection process but to my surprise it tasted fantastic and I absolutely loved it. It felt like a crazy scientific experiment where one just mixes things for the sake and ends up making something amazing. I had a bite of my friends food too and I must say theirs was amazing as well. The most interesting fact is that all our foods tasted different but the consistent bit of it was the fact that all tasted delicious. WE ALL LOVED IT!!


My Experiment.


I came to the conclusion that once can never get tired of eating at this restaurant because of the high levels of customization. This enables you invent different tastes based on the mixtures you create and there are thousands and thousands of tastes you can create with different forms of customization. For people who watch what they eat, this is the perfect restaurant for you as you handpick what you eat in proportions you choose to and you also get to regulate amount of oils,sauce and spices to add to the mixture.

I must conclude by saying Hoja Mongolian Grill is a fantastic restaurant and it's a place where I am definitely going back.

A+ restaurant

P/S I am now hungry -_-

GTA V



This week's biggest event is undoubtedly the release of Grand Theft Auto V.
As a gamer I have been anticipating this for a long time and have been checking out videos on YouTube all day trying to see how awesome of a game it is and honestly it has met it's expectations.
The game is undoubtedly one of the best ever racking up sales worth $800 million dollars on the first day making it the biggest entertainment launch of the year.

It's worth noting that the game has only been released on the Xbox 360 and Play Station 3 and it is yet to be released on PC and next gen consoles which is the Xbox One and Play Station 4. This shows that stacking up $800 million dollars in the first day only marks the beginning with PC fans (me) still anticipating for it to be released on the strongest platform.

I am not going to write so much about the game because I believe it is something that you have to see and play to be blown away by how amazing it is. So I will leave you with a couple of videos for you to enjoy and besides you have uncle Google who can show you around the internet to get the best info on GTA V. So cheers till next time. Enjoy !!!
