I made some home-made barley drink this evening for falling-sick D and felt v proud of myself! Haha. It turned out to be quite simple; just that being unfamiliar with our induction hob, wasn't too sure which power level to leave it at and the over-efficient cooker caused the water to overspill again.. :P But one whole pot with half a packet of barley only yielded me two cups of barley water.. Think I shld put less barley and more water next time heh.

We also i-roboted our living room floor for the very first time (all thanks to j & s)! The machine turned out to be a lot noisier than expected; but was amused how cleverly it could go around (quite closely) the legs of our nice green chair. It seems to go around in random spirals and knocks its head all the time; floor seems clean enough though it failed to wipe away the footprint a guest had left at my living room floor tile :P
