life lately

I'm back in munich for now. The last days in my hometown were quite relaxing I met up with friends and the weather was marvelous up to 20°C in march (!!). It is always nice catching up with old friends and knowing how their lives are changing but also to see that their personality hasn't changed so does our friendship. I'm really gonna miss not having food cooked for me all day around but this time heading back didn't feel as sad as it was a few weeks ago because I'm starting to really enjoy my life here in munich! 
It was ideal to hang around in the park, eating ice-cream, reading magazines and catching up on life. I really loved the New Balance sneakers of my friend

Wearing my new hat from H&M out for the first time 

The sunset outside of my window, it was breathtaking and unfortunately my camera couldn't capture the whole beauty of it

New Glamour magazine and pretty chocolate- excited for the Glamour Shopping week  
Vapiano and hanging around with one of my oldest friends

Time for some beverages- one of my favorites during a hot day: wild berry ice tea from starbucks

She has the most amazing bag collection and my personal favorite the Alexander Wang Rocco bag

A little sneak peak on what I will be doing next week- yeah! heading to London tomorrow with my bestie, now I need to go and finish packing!

Kimbap recipe 김밥

Yesterday was the first time that I tried to make some Kimbap on my own. Back in China my korean friends often made it for me, it was such a blast just to be around them and cooking together (although most of the times I was sitting aside eating and watching them make the Kimbap). Therefor I have such good memories of Kimbap not only does it taste good I will always think about my korean friends and what fun we had while making it. 
I must say it wasn't hard to make at all. The thing that took to longest while making it, was the preparation of the ingredients. I must say I was really proud of the result because I've already tried some korean recipes and most of the times I failed quiet badly. And the Kimbap was even approved by my parents! I will definitely try to make it more often because it's super delicious and perfect to bring along!

 Ingredients for 5 Kimbap rolls: half a carrot , 50gr. of spinach, 2 cups of cooked rice, tuna, 100gr. ham,  1/3 of a cucumber, 1-2 eggs, 70 gr. of korean pickled radish, a bamboo mat and seaweed sheets
Step 1: Cook the rice like you've normally would
Step 2: Slice up the carrot, ham, cucumber and radish into small sticks
Step 3: Beat up the eggs and fry it. After that slice the eggs into long strips 
Step 4: Blanch the spinach in hot water for 2 minutes
Step 5: Fry the ham and carrots for 3 minutes


Step 6: Take the bamboo mat, a seaweed sheet and spread a bit of rice onto it. Then place a bit of all the ingredients on one side of the sheet and start rolling using the bamboo mat

Tadaa! You should have a roll similar to mine--잘 먹겠습니다 !

The 1975

Last thursday I went to a small concert of the 1975 in Munich. My friend recommended their music to me and ever since christmas I have been listening to their stuff non stop. The last couple of years I have slightly moved away from the indie/alternative music but listening to the songs of the 1975 made me realized how much I actually like 'real' instrumental music and it made me reminisce of the times where I was totally in love with the Kooks, the Arctic Monkeys and all of those amazing brit pop/indie bands . I find the 1975 to be a very cool and talented band and I can totally see them being even more successful. The whole show was amazing and I wished I could play the rewind/repeat button just to be able to experience everything again! 

                    The whole location was rather small and intimate which made it really special 





Me and my friend were able to snap a quick photo with Matthew Healy (#beingatotalgroupie)


I love so many songs of them but my favorites are the City, M.O.N.E.Y, Sex, Settle down…well know thinking about it, I like'm all! And also I really like the remix of the Knocks because it makes it a lot more danceable. And another favorite is the cover of 'What makes you beautiful' it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it!

Say hello to spring!


Spring is finally here and I'm back at my old home!! The last few weeks I have totally neglected my blog which I'm really sorry about but that is about to change because I have easy access to my camera now. It was so stupid of me not to bring my camera back to Munich because I thought it would be to cumbersome to take everywhere with but now looking back I missed out on a lot of good opportunities where I could have need my camera even just for the sake of having something to do. Anyways I'm planning on a lot more frequent blog entries so keep your fingers crossed on that. 

Home is where your heart is-right?
 Although the beginning of my new journey at university was kind of rough I'm slowly getting used to it and getting to know more people. Also I have moved to a new dormitory right next to my university and I have been enjoying every minute of living right next to the English Garden, the buildings surrounding the area where I live are breath taking and I couldn't be more pleased with my current living situation. Everything will be alright! 
I've been at my old home for a couple of days now and it is so nice to be back, the weather these days is marvelous and you can totally feel spring is approaching! There are definitely benefits of being at home and I'm totally enjoying every minute with my parents.

Peek a boo-having a little walk with my dad 


I have amazing parents! Every time I come home my mum buys me some kind of new things for example this cozy warm wool planket

And she always puts some kind of small chocolate around my room

Finally having some time to read again! And I've finally started to learn how to knit, we will see how it goes


That was a call luxury- Daddy asking me whilst I'm sleeping what kind of pastries I want for breakfast

Trying to get the attention of the little kitty cat

Winter Walk

These photos were taken back in january when I visited my hometown. I should have uploaded these ages ago but I just couldn't find the time to do it. The last month consisted of learning, learning and learning. This first semester was definitely a challenge to my ability of coping with stress, living on my own and the whole university schedule. Nonetheless these pictures remind me of an awesome time at my parents place. We decided to take a little walk in the nearby village and had some delicious cake from the cafe. I do really miss home and can not wait till the 8th of march!
