Cooking as a Student: My Experience with Cooking

I have been studying at Osaka University for the last 4 months. I know how to cook and I actually enjoy cooking, but I never cook on a frequent basis. Maybe for one or two meals, but that's about it. So, with the chance of staying away from my family, I planned to do all of my cooking by myself. At first, it was definitely exciting. If you have ever live away from your family, I think you know how exciting it is the first time you have control on every aspect of your life.

But then the truth hits you. Back at home, I have all the ingredients necessary in the fridge, ready to be taken. I have nothing here, absolutely nothing. That's mean I have to go to the supermarket by myself. I was excited about it too, but the big problem lie ahead of me.

Epik High Love Love Love: Why Is It A Great Song and Why Do I Love It?

I am a big fan of Kpop. The first time I know about Tablo is through his two tracks "Bad" and "Tomorrow", and I really like these two songs. Musically, they are absolute gorgeous. So, as a habit, I decided to search him up, and that's how I get to know about Epik High. I learnt about Tablo scandal and the fact that he was a student who graduated from Stanford University. For me, that's pretty huge. I remember seeing somewhere that he is one of the best lyricist in Korean hip hop.

Also, at that time, Epik High had a comeback with songs like "Born Hater" and "Happen Ending". I saw a few posts on Netizenbuzz and the response towards the song were very positive. I decided to give the 2 songs a try. But, it turned out that I didn't like them that much. Lyrically they were great, but musically, it was just not my taste.
