Today is a special and exceptional day. Today i didn’t go to university although i was supposed to. I just realized that i had to hand in an assignment yesterday! Initially I thought the deadline would be today, so still one day left. In the end i worked on it till 5 am and next class would start at 10:45 so no chance in hell i would be up and ready. But wait, thats not why this is a special day – no, today is my birthday!
I woke up at 12 pm and dozed a little bit until i actually went to brush my teeth at 2pm.
My bed is located in a corner. The room itself is quite small
The bathroom is around 2 sqm. on the left side is a shower.
Now lunchtime is almost due. Since the 3rd floor and 1st floor shares a kitchen i have to get downstairs first.
At least my fridge is nicely filled
The hallway from my room the door which connects to the staircase. I live with 2 other guys in the same "flat".
Going downstairs
The door to the kitchen/1st floor is locked.
The kitchen / social room of the first floor is quite spacious and i proceed to cook lunch. The other day i just bought 1kg of lungs with heart and precooked them. Sadly i didn’t cook the heart properly so that i could not use them although already prepared..
This space should be devided by 2 people but since the other guy doesn't use his i am allowed to use the whole storage area
Preparing ingredients.
Since the weather was nice i also used the opportunity to do my laundry.
The door next to the kitchen stove leads to the bathroom and laundry room of the 1st floor
On the left side you can see the washing machine. Also the door leads to a "high-tech toilet" with warm seat functionality
Drying my laundry right at the window.
It’s 4 pm now and i need to study a bit. The kitchen table offers more space than the table in my room.
Because it’s my birthday we planned to eat dinner together and afterwards go to karaoke. Dinner has to be prepared though. It’s going to be Okonomiyaki which is surprisingly easy to do (receipt). Also for dessert i prepared Daifuku which was also quite easy to make (receipt). The main difference in Mochi and Daifuku is, that although both consist of short grained (glutonous) rice, Mochi is prepared by cooking the rice and then hammering on it, while Daifuku uses the flour.

Preparing the ingredients.
2 stoves for efficiency
First two finished products.
Daifuku. One was filled with only Koshian (smooth red bean paste) the other one was filled with Koshian and banana.
The rest of the evening went smoothly though. We ate drank a bit and went to a nearby Karaoke bar.

The karaoke room - quite small but enough for 7 people.
