Urgh.

Fats. That's all I can say about myself. Have been feasting non stop ever since Christmas and I yet got the urge to go jogging to shed off those extra pounds. Mommy said I'm growing fatter nowadays. sigh.

Stressed.

Had an enjoyable time with Jen and Ying today.. Feasted again with Bester and his family.. Simply love the cheesecake that I baked! =P yummy.. even my brother said so.. WoW.. Keke.. perhaps he was trying to make me happy.

Stressed.

Exams coming up! Pulling up my socks. Gotta go study + jogging.

Holiday mood.

Stressed. Can't seem to be able to find ppl to help out for my committee! Stressed.

Brrr...

Woosh.. it has been raining for the past whole month!! Sigh. Why doesn't it snow instead??? Keke.. and if you ever see snow in Singapore, beware and behold..IT MAY BE JUDGEMENT DAY!! Was telling Jen n Bester that the last day of Earth maybe nearing with so many happenings in the past few years..

Just received my exam timetable.. Advanced and not yet confirmed one. Less than 5mths for us to get prepared for my final lap in university. Sigh. I am getting jittery and scared!!! Was revising through IM and guess what!? I DON'T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE LINE I WAS READING!!! (Capping it to say that I AM IN DEEP SHIT TROUBLE.)

Gosh. I am afraid. I've got FIVE units to tackle.. and I am not at all confident of scoring, errr.. or should I say passing 'em in the first place!!?? I AM IN A ULTIMATE STRESSFUL STATE.

Hee.

Had an enjoyable Christmas this year. Spent much lesser as compared to the year before. Didn't manage to get a pair of shoes for Bester yet as the size doesn't fit him at all!! Will go shoe hunting pretty soon.. =P

Spent the Xmas eve eve eve night chilling out with my sisters.. Jen, Wen, Carinne, Ying, May, Min.. Mel wanted to come but by then we were already heading home.. oops! Manage to catch up with Des too!! Thank you didi for coming all the way to Dover to fetch us home!!! =) Appreciated it lots..Thank you ladies for the pretty and cutie top! Love it!!! Had a chocolate foundae session with Hui and Ting.. Keke.. Guess we had lots of fun yah? Wanted to spend the Christmas eve eve with S4 mates! Sigh.. of all the time that had to happen!!! Sorry S4-ians.. Couldn't make it for da party! I sure had a feast @ Bester's place!! Gotta thank Auntie Maria, Uncle Cogan, Auntie Sally for the treat!! Thank you Auntie Maria and Auntie Sally for the lovely presents!!

Simply love it..

Frenz.

Had an enjoyable time with Wen and Lavania at the latter's place yesterday! Just like the good old times when we used to hang out at each other's home. Chatted about our past, present and future.. =) We sure had a good laugh at our "historical" moments.. Had butter cookies and Lava made for us banana split! Yummy.. Sigh! Simply miss those days!

We were just teenagers then when knew each other in secondary school. Time sure flies and now we will be turning 22 soon! Keke.. It's kinda scary to grow up and not knowing what we will become in the future! As a kid, the only worries will be whether we perform well academically. As an adult, you have a whole lot more responsibilities to assume. More identities that you'll take up and more things you will need to manage. Be in mentally, emotionally, physically or physiologically.

keke.. Lava has got a puppy, Amster.. =P

Baking addiction.

Argh! Am going to stop myself from baking for the time being. Just realised from last Friday's IM lesson that I'm such a lagger plus loser! Sigh. Haven't been doing any serious studying except for a few subjects. Gonna wake myself up asap before Xmas comes and I'll have the holidaying mood again!

These are the things I've baked so far:
1) Cornflakes cup (daddy, brother, auntie maria, bester.. love this! Hee.. Too buttery for mommy and uncle cogan!)
2) Cheesecake (didi said it was nice! bester said it was too sour! haa.. Forgotten to add in more sugar!)
3) Egg tarts (My most satisfied baking assignment! Bester loves these tarts.. So does my daddy.. too buttery for mommy again! Haa. I love to have my tarts too!!)
4) Jiu Cheng Gao (Ehh.. too sweet! Completely a flop. mommy and daddy said it was a good try.. auntie sally said so too.. bester didn't like the sweetness of it! haa..)
5) Scones (Those I baked were too hard! Haa. But the taste is there.. I love "overnight" scones. daddy said it's not sweet enough!?)
6) Pound cake (didi commented saying it's not nice! =P But I love it.. Daddy said it's too coarse.. Hand mixed leh! Hee.. Too buttery for mommy, yet again! =[ hehe..)

More to come.. Wanna try very much to bake the molten chocolate cake! Yeu Yun.. Will let you try IF it's a success okiE? hehe.. =P

Stay tune.

Wazzup?

Haa. Haven't been blogging for ages. Keke.. It's not really been that long. Erm, just kinda lazy to blog though. =) So here are some updates!

Tried making "jiu cheng gao" last Saturday and it turned out to be quite a disaster! It broke into 3 parts! Haa. Discarded the middle one as it was quite uncooked and slabbed the top and bottom part together! Put too much sugar and it was so so so sweet! Hee. But can at least peel off layer by layer so that was at least something more encouraging? Haa.. Auntie Sally tried and said not bad for beginners lah. Hee. Bester darling said it was "quite nice"! Daddy and mommy said it was nice too.. Kekee..

Didi had his passing out parade on Tuesday! Having a 2 weeks break and will get to know his posting on his birthday! Hee. Wish him all the best in getting into the unit of his dreams! =) Though I can't go to see him standing proud and tall on the parade ground (ehhz.. only 2 tics per soldier so daddy and mommy went only! Was kinda disappointed and upset =[ lah.. ) but I felt so honoured that he had did it good throughout these few months in the camp! Well done didi! =P

So what did I do while my parents were watching the ceremony? Hee. Was studying at Ang Mo Kio library with my sweetheart. Had quiche at this coffeeshop with a cup (packaging like bubble tea) of ice coffee! Dar had bread and eggs too! We then proceed to mug a few hours before deciding that we "must" have our lunch first before we can pour in any information to our brain! Haa. Had the cheapest Japanese food at Central! Yummy breaded scallops! Then we saw this custard puff, and knowing that I love it, Bester bought it for me! Ah!! So sinful!! We had the doughnuts that were bought prior to our study date! Gosh.. Thank goodness didi said he didn't want to have Seoul Garden if not we'll be over-stuffed and not overstarved piglets! Haa. Initially we wanted to visit the AMK's Seoul, but the ambience there sucks! Argh. Not worth the money to have our dinner. Baby Swee decided to have his "fried oyster" and "char kway tiao" while I have my usual "mee chiang kueh"! Hee. "Ah Gu's Mee Chiang Kueh" still the best! Nice peanut filling and aromatic pancakes that they have!

Was determined to wake up early in the morning to go study at NYP's library. Hee. But how can we study with an empty stomach right? Bingo! Breakfast time!! Had our all times favourite "You tiao" dipped in nicely brewed coffee.. Ah.. Baby Swee wanted more food and ordered beancurd and "jiu kueh"! Gosh.. We really know how to enjoy life don't we? Keke. Made our way to NYP and dar dar brought me to a tour around his school before settling down at the library. Keke. We had to check if we need to scan our "cards" before entering any premises! NYP is totally cool.. Much smaller than Ngee Ann though.. =) Had the famous "Niang Dou Foo" at the North Canteen (errr.. Dar brought me to the south and made me walk all da way to NORTH! ah.. ) Ai yo.. it's nicer than the one I tried at NP lor! I had my favourite corn pau too! keke.. While walking back to the library, saw my senior! He's on a 3 mths course before embarking on his new career.. erm.. dunno where! Forgotten to ask him le. Keke. It's a small world. Saw Xiao Shi and another BBSSian (only know she was a few years my junior, a prefect and also from chinese orchestra.) Hee. But none of them recognise me eh except when I called my senior! =P

Bought back mixed grill from the North Canteen.. Dar said I must try it as it's really nice! I simply love their coleslaw! Sweet, fresh and creamy.. Ahhh.. Am missing it right now! Mine, forgotten to mention that we had this Japanese cheese pancake which was SO SO SO nice.. Haa. Simply love cheese! I'm salivating already by just thinking how they had melted the whole piece of cheese in the pancake! Argh.. Ate so much! But it's all worthwhile..

Later in the evening, made my way to meet Ting and Hui for our Korean dinner date! My goodness.. The "ban fan" and stir fry chicken was very nice!! Forced myself to eat and I didn't want the food to go down to waste! I would recommend all to visit this restaurant, Togi, for authentic korean cuisine! Their sides dishes (which I think is compulsory..) are simply yummy! Try their ikan bilis!

Food! More food.. hahaa.. Can guess how much fats I've put on now? Argh..

Went to school for ME lesson without studying for Chapter 5.. Ehh.. Was tested and I didn't know how to answer the 2nd question. Heck. Handed in my answers with only one question answered! Haa. Poor dar waited for me before we headed back home!

Didi wanted to bring the whole family to eat "roasted meat" rice but I decided to give it a miss. Keke. Both dar and I ate curry maggie noodles instead. My didi, daddy and mommy actually brought 2 packets of rice for us! Thank you daddy and mommy and brother! =) They had actually bought from another stall.. The one the my bro intended to eat was already clearing up the stall by the time they went down! =O wah! It's really that good!?? Must really go and try it someday.. Somewhere near Bouna Vista?? Anyone interested? I can ask my bro.. Did I mention that I ate quite a HUGE portion of rice today!? Oh mine, I'm feeling so yucky now!

Took a short nap and had a bowl of "fu zhou" and cuttle balls before we headed back to school again! Ai yo.. Came back home and had steamboat.. Gosh.. I ate so much!! Feeling so bloated and uncomfortable right now! =( Sigh. FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT.. x INFINITY FAT.. aiyo.. I'm SO SO SO FAT!

Didi bought back some stuff from John Little sales at Expo! There are cute cups and xmas door hangers that looked so fabulous! =) And he also bought waterbottles for both Daddy and I! Thank you so much di! Love them all!! keke..

Ah.. Tried making scones.. Was quite a failure. Didn't turn out the way it should be! Perhaps I should just stick to baking egg tarts, cheesecakes.. and MORE cakes coming on the way! Hee..
