If you could open any sort of restaurant, what would it be like?

It would be an Indonesian restaurant, of course, because what Canada needs is more Indonesian restaurants. One that serves authentic Indonesian food instead of bastardised version of it. I would train the cook on how to cook Indonesian food the way I like it so that when I'm hungry, all I have to do is come to my own restaurant and order whatever Indonesian food I feel like having. Of course for the rest of the customers, the cook might have to tone down the hotness a little bit, i.e. put less chillis in it.

I've been to two Indonesian restaurants in Canada. One served Dutch-Indonesian food, which was pretty bland for my taste, and the other served "fusion Indonesian food", which means expensive and very much bastardised. Dining at the so-called Indonesian restaurants only makes me miss Indonesian food more. And that is the reason I need to open my own Indonesian restaurant.

Maybe someday.

I was too lazy to turn on the stove and cook something for lunch, so I just cut two slices of cheese bread and then put a piece of the chocolate bars we got from a boy in front of the bank, who was selling chocolate bars to raise fund for Teens Against Violence, in between the slices of bread. It was surprisingly good. I should eat it more often.

The boy who sold us the chocolate bars (who can't be older than 13) was the most confident boy I've ever seen selling chocolate bars for charities. Other boys we'd bought chocolate bars from before him just look... sad. Once we bought chocolate bars from this boy outside the bookstore one winter night who looked so sad that I started imagining him being an orphan from A Very Sad Orphanage(tm). I told Troy about it and he laughed at me and said that I had an overactive imagination because the boy was obviously wearing some expensive-looking coat. Hey, can't blame me for being a softy!
