WTF.

I'm very unhappy with blogger still. As in. F***ING UNHAPPY OH-KAY. Bloody hell.

Went out with Mummy on Saturday because I had to go for a repeat urine test. Then we shopped around Paragon's Metro and both of us each bought a skirt. Both chong sam. Mine's white+red. Mummy's RED all the way.

We ate at Takashimaya. I had a Japanese pancake with cheese filling, two durian pancakes and one durian crispy puff. Mummy had beef teriyaki don.

Then we walked around a bit more. Tangs' Estee Lauder's free gift was fully redeemed. Mummy and I had coffee at Coffee Bean. I had a caramel ice blended and a weekly cheese cake. It is STILL better than Starbucks but East Coast Park's Coffee Bean's better.

Sunday. Church service in the morning. Nate was playing for worship. Not bad, dude! I left immediately after service, though. 'Cos I was rushing to go get my hair done. I walked home to get cash then walked all the way to Parkway haha. Don't worry. 30 minutes only =).

Bumped into Debbie!

I ate two pretzels for lunch. Walked around a bit more then went into the hair salon. Hair dresser said to go back in half an hour's time. So what did I do? EAT!

Went to Dessert Talk to have yam paste with ginko nuts. Was contemplating on whether to take the yam paste with ginko nuts or sesame paste with glutinous rice balls. But. Gah. I love yam paste. And it's almost GONE in the market. Heh.

Went back half an hour later. The salon was more crowded. So I sat down and waited. He only came to my half another half an hour later HAHA. He didn't want the other two hair dressers to do the job for me. He wanted to be the one doing the job for me. =)

I didn't know how to explain the hairstyle I wanted. He kept thinking I wanted a concave hairstyle. I kept asking him to cut the sides shorter. After an hour of snipping here and there, I said "But I want Zoe Tay that length leh." THEN he finally realised what I wanted lol. And I finally knew that's not concave. Heh.

Paid S$15. Wanted to walk home BUT it was raining. So I ended up taking a bus home.

I had ballet later in the evening. Daddy sent me to Joo Chiat CC. When I stepped into class, everyone was totally shocked heh. And Debbie was going on about how she saw me with long hair still in the afternoon. =D

Ballet was ultimate fun. Learnt new steps again! =D No blisters, Hallelujah.

Will blog about Monday and Tuesday another time. F***ing blogger better DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR BLOODY POSTING.

ARGH.

BLOGGER SHOULD FREAKIN' DO SOMETHING TO THEIR POSTING PAGE. Sometimes I type some keys and the whole post is GONE. Thank goodness that only happened to the pictures. Bloody blogger.

Anyways, yes, I'm FINALLY blogging again! Haha okok I know it's my bad for having been missing so oftern. BUT I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY! This time due to going-out-too-often syndrome. Lol ok that was rubbish HAHA.

Let's start with...THURSDAY. Met Wei Xian in Parkway. Had lunch with him at The CafeBar. The following pictures belong to Wei Xian's set lunch:
He also had a plate of pasta but I didn't manage to snap a picture of it haha. To have an idea of what his pasta looked like...

Just look at this:
It's my pasta. Wei Xian's pasta was without the grilled chicken. The pasta was HELL GOOD I tell you. Chicken thigh was awesome. Cream was mmmmmmmm. Loved the mushrooms. Lastly, I enjoyed the LINGUINE. I really think linguine's a lot better than spaghetti.

Guess who I bumped into at The CafeBar! Jacob! Eng Kwan's friend haha. He's working there.

After lunch, I bought ice cream from Scoopz. I still love their durian and jackfruit ice cream. I had two flavours in one scoop. Then we walked over to Roxy Square because I wanted to see the two ballet shops. They sell ballet accessories. BUT both weren't open because one was out for lunch the other was...I don't know lol.

Then we went back to Parkway again because I wanted to get the music box from Kalm's BUUUUT they no longer have the purple gems one!!!!! I'm so so so so SO disappointed. Should've gotten it earlier!

Then we went to Starbucks because I wanted to try out their cake. THAT was when I officially declared to myself that Coffee Bean is much better than Starbucks. Really. Coffees and cakes alike.

When I was done, it was raining. So we decided to walk around Parkway a little more. Ended up walking in MPH. And I got a book!
Looked really interesting to me. Can a man and a woman ever be just friends? Sounds really scary man lol. The story's an American romance. I need more British romance novels lol.

We slacked around Gloria Jean's a little more. Didn't get any drinks because I didn't bring my Gloria Jean's coupon and neither did I bring my Friends of SDT (Singapore Dance Theatre) card which entitles me to 10% off any drinks from Gloria Jean's. Cool huh! =D

After sitting around for a while, we left Parkway because the rain stopped.

We walked. I forced Wei Xian to take the bus at the bus stop before St. Patrick's because he felt really tired. I then continued walking home. I enjoyed my day!

On Friday morning, Mummy was rushing me here and there and I got so rushed I forgot to bring the things I wanted to pass to Sherry. So Mummy kinda screwed up my schedule and I was pretty upset about it. Had to abandon Mummy at CID (Mummy had to pick up a record to prove herself criminal-record-free for her visa) and go all the way back home AGAIN just to pick up the things I want to pass to Sherry. I was planning to go to Parkway but all thanks to Mummy I couldn't anymore.

So I was kinda caught in a really bad timing. Too late to go Parkway, too early for the time I'm supposed to meet Sherry at. I messaged Sherry and asked her if she wanted to meet earlier and she was fine with it. THANKS!!!!! I so absolutely love you man. x)

We met at Plaza Singapura (PS) first to get the tickets. Then we contemplated on whether to have Billy Bombers (BB) for lunch or dinner. After much contemplation, we decided to have BB for lunch.

We ate at The Cathay's BB. Ordered a Route 66, cheese fries, iced lemon tea and root beer float. That place was new. I think the waiters were new too. They looked quite lost. AND the manager spoke in a monotonous tone. Sherry couldn't stand it xD.

While waiting for the food, I took pictures!
The pepper and salt that looked like mocha and vanilla to me lol and Sherry said "You're drinking too much coffee!"

The artsy farsty table!

The bag full of toys. Two dresses at the bottom. All passed to Sherry to sell haha.

Then the drinks came!
Sherry's trademark drink, iced lemon tea.

My root beer float! It has became MY trademark drink =D. *bubble bubble bubble*

So while waiting for the food, we kinda got bored. And I kinda found the signs above some seats really interesting.
Sherry loved the "We Love Forrest Grump" sign but I loved the "Elvis Eats Here" one. You can see the one I like and not the one Sherry likes =P.

Cheese fries came first!
LOOK AT THE PUDDLE OF CHEESE! These are the cheese fries to die for, the cheese fries NO ONE can resist. Except for Mummy. Lol.

BY THE WAY Sherry lost to me with regards to cleanliness. At first I thought I lost because my plate got dirty. Then Sherry dropped a cheese fries on the table! HAHA but I lost to her in finishing my drink =_=.

Soon the Route 66 came!!!!!
Look at the buuurgeeer. That beef patty was AWESOME. Medium rare. Nice and juicy. I L-O-V-E-D the cheese with the mushrooms. OH YEAH. YUMYUMYUM! Sherry and I were dying at the end of it. We didn't finish the potato salad that was served with the burger.

After lunch we walked back to PS. Realised we had A LOT of time to kill so we started walking around. We walked around LOTS of gift shops but none of them had the music box. The shop that once sold the music box no longer sells it. SIGH.

We also shopped at basement. Went into one of the toy shops lol. Wanted to get this Doraemon cushion but I saw this really REALLY cute Doraemon. Sherry found it really disturbing lol. Both of us couldn't stop laughing at the sight of it. I will take a picture and show you another time.

Then we went to People of Asia (POA). I at first only went in for the fun of it. Then I saw the denim shorts. BUT they were super duper uber expensive. Then I saw these two tops. Took super long to decide if I wanted them haha. In the end I bought both. S$38 each. I'M GONNA BE SO SUPER BROKE. Lol.

Sherry left halfway through because she needed the toilet. We met at the snacks counter and bought popcorns and went in for the movie; The Illusionist.

THAT MOVIE WAS HELL GOOD. Ok I always sound the same everytime I watch a movie. But so far I've only been watching really good movies. So. You guys should watch The Illusionist too! The ending was TERRIFIC man! I super duper uber loved the movie. That's why, Sherry's my best movie kakhi! =D

After the movie, Sherry looked at the empty popcorn bag and went "You're definitely not anorexic." LOL.

Both of us took the mrt home. But we were taking two different lines so we went on our seperate ways. Sherry was super bloated at the end of the day haha.

Some of the other promised pictures:
The coffee yoghurt swirl cake. But the cake didn't rise. Mummy concluded that it's the baking powder's fault. She bought a new bottle of baking powder already. Hopefully the next time I bake a cake from scratch the cake will be a success.

ANYWAYS the cake was still edible. Just a tad more chewy hahaha. The taste was still there. I loved it! =P

The wallet I bought!

It's red and sexaye ain't it! Haha and it's only S$19.90. I can't believe it man. I love my new wallet!

FOOOOOD.

Heh sorry for the lack of posts. Feeling pretty eee-moooo at the moment.

Monday? Was fasting. Went out with my parents in the afternoon to go get my eyes tested for new set of contact lens. Tried a few spectacle frames out too but I wasn't satisfied. Shall wait for my Gucci frame and see if it's the right one or not.

At night I went Parkway with Mummy. Mummy wanted to go get an exchange for the spoilt bottle of bird's nest from Eu Yan Seng. Mummy and I also bought tickets for Stuttgart's Romeo and Juliet. We're watching the matinee one though. Only that timing has good seats left. =\

Mummy and I shopped quite a bit too. Bought two cd albums from Sembawang. First was Mr Chester's Piano Spa 2. Yes, I know Chester Tan, the composer for Timeless, Piano Spa 1 and Piano Spa 2. AND Piano Spa 3 is to be released in February.

I know Mr Chester because he plays the piano for my ballet school. I wonder if he still does. *shrugs*

Anyways the second album was some jazz album. Romantic ones though. I only got it because I saw "Over the Rainbow" and "Rain drops keep fallin' on my head". Couldn't resist!

Also bought a capri from Giordano. Mummy was hungry so we went down to the food court. I got soooo hungry I bought myself a cup fruit juice. I fasted in such a way whereby I could only take fruits or fruit juices. So, ya. Quite torturous.

Saw Francesca haha. I missed her so much maaaaan! Glad to see her again x).

Tuesday. The moment I woke up (which was about 11am) I went to shower. After shower I went out to buy roti prata. I got two egg roti prata for Mummy, one cheese roti prata and one cheese with onions roti prata for myself. Bought two cups of puncak bandung for Mummy and me. We ate at home!

In the afternoon, my parents and I went down to City Hall area. The building opposite Peninsula Plaza. Filled in all the application forms required for both Mummy's and my visa. Went to the lawyer to get some papers signed.

Then Daddy left Mummy and I because we had to go do our medical checkups. First we went for our chest x-rays and then we went for our full body checkups. I have to go back again on Saturday for a repeat urine test. Argh.

Mummy had her body checkup done at Shaw Building though. Because my clinic couldn't do something for Mummy. *shrug* So when Mummy was done, I met her at Tangs because I WANTED TO BUY A WALLET.

I did get a wallet. Perllini. Red. Sexaye. Haha. Really really nice. Will take a picture and show you one day.

Mummy and I had dinner at SWENSENS. Because both Mummy and I have soft spots for ICE CREAM. We shared a plate of crayfish pasta and then I had a vanilla nut ice-something while Mummy had mango madness. AAAAAWESOME.

We continued shopping after dinner. Went to Robinsons, John Little, Aussino and OG. All for bed sheets. But OG was actually specifically for Chinese New Year (CNY) clothes because the clothes shown in the brochures looked nice. Buuuuut the dress I liked didn't have my size. The two pieced ones were too big even when they were sized S. *pouts*

Bought 4 mini danish-es from Four Leaves. Mummy bought some red bean paste bun. I finished the danish-es even before I boarded the bus lol. I was super hungry that day man.

When Mummy and I were walking home along the park connecter, two doggies pounced on us. As in, two little cute doggies haha. Mummy was so freaked out she grabbed me and started screaming. She even scolded the owners. =\

TODAY! I woke up at 1pm HAHA. Because I slept at 4am oh-kae. I showered and took a bus to NTUC to buy yoghurt and instant coffee. Walked home. Half an hour only la.

The moment I got home, I started baking cake. I took my time with the beating part. Which I regretted because I ended up rushing when I had to wash up. I only managed to remove the pan from the oven and I scooted out of the house already because I was scared I was gonna be late meeting Wei Xian.

I was supposed to meet Wei Xian at Singa Inn at around 7pm. Apparently I thought I was gonna be late so I sms-ed him. In the end I reached Marine Cove at around 6.45pm. Wei Xian was also gonna be late haha so I dropped by J K Don to say hi to my fellow ex-colleagues! They were busy so...I left after saying hi only heh.

On my way to Singa Inn, Ah Zul rode pass me! On his motorbike! He horned at me and at first I thought he was just another horny person until I realised it was him and I started waving at him haha.

Reached Singa Inn at around...7.10? Heh. I was only 10 minutes late! Wei Xian reached at around 7.15 lol. We went into Artz Pizza together.

We ordered an Artz Pizza and another pizza. The Artz Pizza had tomato sauce, mozerella cheese, home made sausage and some "rocket salad". The "rocket salad" contains only one type of greeen leaves. Wei Xian said it tasted like spinach. *shrug* I didn't like the greens so I removed them hehe. But the tinge of the greens on the pizza was good. Just nice!

The other pizza was tomato sauce, mozerella cheese, mushrooms and anchovies. AND olives, which I didn't touch any of. Heh. Wei Xian finished my olives and my "rocket salad". Hee thanks.

We walked to Marine Cove where I dropped by J K Don again. This time to say hi to Mr Zul. As usual, he was watching tv. HAHA. Oh I also saw Q at Coffee Bean. But he didn't see me lol.

Wei Xian and I went to Gelare. I got a Cookie Monster. Cookies and cream ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate syrup and one oreo cookie and two chocolate biscuit sticks. AWESOME. I so absolutely loved it.

Wei Xian walked me home. To my doorstep. He said hi to Daddy and Mummy haha. Mummy recognised him. Daddy didn't. Mummy knows Wei Xian isn't my boyfriend. Daddy didn't. HAHA. Reminds me of what Daddy said to me the other day.

"You go uni sure will find boyfriend one. Confirm."

RIGHT DADDY. Lol.

Sorry for the lack of pictures. Forgot to bring camera. Hehe. I promise pictures tomorrow! Will be eating at The CafeBar with Wei Xian. Was planning to have Katong Laksa but nope, no laksa for Wei Xian because he just had an operation. So we decided on The CafeBar instead.

Oh, I'll also take pictures of my cake, don't worry. It wasn't quite a success though. Mummy and I suspect there's something wrong with the baking powder.

And, there's nothing going on between me and Wei Xian lol. We're just two very good friends. Very good food kakhis too lol.

SIAN/PAIN.

Went for church in the morning. Was terribly late because I couldn't wake up. I remember hearing my alarm clock ring but I somehow didn't wake up. =\

Reached church at around 11am haha. I at first promised Nate to attend the contempary service with him but I chickened out because I didn't dare walk in all alone because I was late. So I told Nate I was going to the youth service and he purposely came up to the youth service =_=.

I missed worship. Sermon was on Daniel 3. Done by Reverend Julia. Or was it Juliette? Somewhere along that line la haha. It was Reverend Christopher Chin's birthday today and we prayed for him.

After service I went home because I thought I was going to go out for lunch with my parents. In the end Daddy went out so I cooked pulut hitam for Mummy and myself. Eh, no, not from scratch lol but from an instant pack. Substituted coconut milk with skim milk because we didn't have coconut milk and we're trying to finish up the skim milk.

Mummy also tried the cake I baked. Gave me a lot more advices. She too agreed that the cake wasn't very good. I KNEW IT. I was disappointed from the very start. Don't know why Daddy said it was good.

Mummy and I went for the pre-departure briefing thing at Peninsula Hotel. The briefing was pretty much on some stuff that Mummy and I already knew because I've been to Australia for a year already. Don't know why Mummy still insisted on me going.

Mummy went up to question Fiona Crowe about my hostel application. We realised she's been bullshitting all the way. At first she said she passed my application to the other hostels then she said the application is not passed to the other hostels but kept in a box for reconsideration. I mean, if you don't accept me, just SAY IT. Don't twist and turn and make things worse. Gah nevermind.

Met Max, Eunice, Faith and Bijia. Ate a bit of their refreshments. The...fruit tart, spring roll and chicken wing. Aaand we left! Took bus home.

Daddy sent me to my ballet lesson at around 7pm. Ballet was HORRIBLE. We did pointe work all the way today. At the end of the lesson I had like....2 blisters. Both burst-ed. Plastered. Pain. But I still loved the lesson. =D

Apparently someone on wholivesnearyou.com saw me at the pre-departure briefing. And I didn't see him. Lol.

SIAO.

I can't believe it. Mummy just asked me to start packing my towels.

HELLOOOOO?! It's one more freakin month!!!!!

Mad.

You do happen to realise there's a difference between Nissan Latio and Nissan Sunny. AND there's no such thing as a Nissan Sunny Sports. AND Chrysler is so different from Bentley. Pleeeeease get your facts right.

FINALLY.

Yes, I've been counting down to this date for AGES. I'M FREE FROM WORK!!!!! Muahahahaha. Was forced to gulp down half a cup of beer. I mean, it's nothing la, but I PROMISED MYSELF NOT TO TOUCH BEER AGAIN SO SOON! Nevermind.

Work has been ok, yadah yadah yadah. Cut down on intake but still quite...bleargh. Gained a total of 2kg 'cos of work. NOT HAPPY. Aunty and Ah Niu kept asking me to teach them how to bake. NOT DIFFICULT WHAT. Just search the net and follow step by step....done!

Or maybe it's just because I have a passion so I find it fun. *shrugs*

THE AUTHOR OF THIS BLOG, which is none other than Chia De Xin, BAKED AGAIN. The title of the recipe says "Blackberry Coffee Cake" but...both Daddy and I couldn't taste a tinge of coffee in it. Maybe they THOUGHT cinnamon tasted like coffee but being coffee addicts, both Daddy and I didn't think likewise.

Coffee issue aside, LOOK AT THE BLACKBERRIIIEEEEES!!!!!!!!!! Yumyumyumyumyum!!! I didn't like the icing and the presentation. Daddy said it was goooood but I'd say...it didn't meet my expectations. BUT it's still ok la. Ok, fine, it was quite good. I need to stop being so demanding.

Went for CG today. I was THIRD. Haha. After Yihui and Kezia. We were supposed to pray as a CG but Steven went on and on about how inappropriate it was so we ended up discussing about how prayers can benifit us as a CG.

Karl and Kezia went to Kallang's Mac's drive through. I had 20 pieces of chicken mcnuggets. Maybe not 20. About 18. I DON'T KNOW LA. Kezia didn't get her apple pie. Stupid Macs. Gah.

Audrey sent me home. Thanks Audrey! *grins*

By the way, did you realise the picture of the whole cake had one slice that's broken? Daddy's fault. He took one slice and broke the other. Made me eat the broken slice. THANKS AR. Lol.

SICK.

Alright I'm down with a runny nose and a sore throat. Been eating too much. Too much unhealthy stuff. Gah. Time to STOP.

Yep, you've probably guessed it. I ate hell loads yesterday. When I reached ECP the first thing I ate was Coffee Bean's mandarin orange cheese cake. It was oooh so good. The tinge of mandarin orange taste was just nice. Sweet.

Then at 6 I had Gelare's green tea ice cream. It wasn't feeling for me so...

I went to Gelare again for their cabonara. I don't understand why some people pronounce it as caborana. It's NARA not RANA!!!!! The lady behind the counter wasn't the first anyways lol. I've met many other people with the same problem.

Ok back to the pasta. LOOK AT THE CREAM!!!!! LOOK AT THE CHEESE!!!!! HOW CAN YOU RESIST IT?! But it wasn't say very good though HAHA. It's just the amount of cheese powder I poured into it that made it nice. By right the sauce itself should be better.

Then at around 8.30pm I went to Coffee Bean again to get a cup of honeydew ice blended. AWESOME. It's light and refreshing as advertised! Met Q again. Told him I'm not working anymore from next week on. He kept asking why lol. He also asked me to go back to Coffee Bean regularly for drinks =D.

At 10.30pm. Zul's friend came AGAIN. This time with FIVE pizzas and HELL LOADS OF CHICKEN WINGS AND DRUMLETS. I only feasted on the cheeeeese pizza. Out of the 8 slices, I ate SIX. At the end of it I was about to d-i-e.

Saw Mr President today at ECP! At first I didn't realise it was him. I only saw a tall guy standing still, and a shorter guy stretching. Then I found it weird. Shouldn't exercise partners exercise together? THEN I realised it was Mr President, S R Nathan.

When I skated back (I skated all the way to the end), I kept a look out for Mr President. And guess what. I SAW A BMW 6 SERIES IN ONE OF THE CAR PARKS. I couldn't get my eyes off it but I still had to if not I would've fell the second time.

Yes, I fell again today. 'Cos of the damn wooden corn-look-alike things on the floor. The day before they were all swept but today there were more. Very tempted to get a chainsaw and CHOP THE DAMN TREES DOWN.

So ya, I saw Mr President again. He wasn't jogging/running/walking/exercising. He was standing still, with his bodyguard (the other bodyguard's at the car park on the phone), waving at people walking pass him. Wanted to say hi to him but I skated a bit too fast for him to catch me lol.

Ok no more binging today. Time to stop. It's taking a toll on my health already. My throat's hurting daaamn badly. *mumble grumble*

I miss those days where Daddy would come running after me when I fall.

WORKWORKWORK

Work has been ok. I guess. Lol. No migraine attack yet thus far. I had migraine last friday during work. It was sooo terrible man.

Anyways. I FINALLY tried my cake on Monday haha. It was oooooh so goooood!

Just look at it! Yummmmm! =D

STILL been eating a lot. Monday I had my cake in the morning, had a plate of beef bulgogi (without rice) during lunch time and Coffee Bean's raspberry cheese cake in the afternoon. Yesterday? Gelare for lunch.

Heh sorry for the bitten off side. I only remembered to take a picture after taking a bite. THAT is a banana waffle by the way. AWESOME. I know cookies 'n' cream ice cream sounds weird with the bananas and caramel and all but I would've taken banana ice cream if they had it but they don't! =D

In the afternoon I went to Coffee Bean again for another cheese cake. Blueberry delight. Q wasn't there. Q's a guy I made friends with on Monday because he asked if I was working in Marine Cove and I said yes and he introduced himself and so did I and we became friends. Wow. Lol. When I asked his colleagues when's Q working again, he told me he doesn't know. ARGH. And I'm gone in a few days time! Nooooo!

Anyways. At around 6.30pm, parents came to ECP for a walk. Passed by my workplace. So I went out and chatted with them. Went to Kebab Station and got a beef pita roll. AWESOME. I so loved the chilli sauce.

And when I thought I wouldn't be eating for the rest of the day already, Zul's friend came from Pizzahut with a pizza and TWENTY chicken wings. I ate two slices of pizza and FIVE chicken wings. Weeee! I looove pizzas! His friend might be coming again tonight with the cheeeeese pizza. Yay yay yay!

Nope, I haven't gained weight lol. Funny. But hey I worked damn hard ok. Running up and down serving customers, waking up early in the morning just to go rollerblading. WALKING TO WORK. Lol.

Oh btw a customer thought I was Japanese yesterday. HAHA. Right.

DURIAN FANTASY!

Aaaaah I feel good! Haha yep, I ate a lot again today!

Went for church service in the morning. Youth service, that is. New worship leader, new types of songs. Sermon was on Daniel 2.

After service, we decided to go have prawn mee for lunch. East Coast Road's prawn mee. Where the chilli powder is GENG. But I usually put A LOT. Like seriously a lot. 'Cos, to me, the chilli powder doesn't get spicy only after a while.

Then we moved on to Parkway. Met up with some other church people at the basement foodcourt. Nate and I were craving for ice cream so we went to Scoopz and bought ice cream. Nate got peach. I got jackfruit+durian in a scoop. AWESOME.

When we went back to the foodcourt, we realised we lost the people. They were up in the arcade, Timezone. So we went all the way up to Timezone.

The guys played around with a few games. Saw Poh Jing Jie haha. Then we started walking around. And when we decided to stand along some railings, I looked down and saw the food fair going on at basement. What happened? I went on and on and on about how I want to get the food so in the end Nate went down with me heh.

I bought durian pancake, durian puff, durian muchi and durian crepe. The durian pancake was AWESOME. The rest were all frozen. I guess that was why the durian crepe didn't taste as good as expected. We left the durian muchi and durian puff to melt.

Some of the boys went to smoke. I accompanied them. As in, NO, I didn't smoke but I just stood beside them. Afterwards, we decided to go home.

Once I reached home, I started munching on the durian muchi and durian puff. AWESOME MAN. Haha. Durian craze I am. Today I ate prawn mee, ice cream, durian pancake, durian crepe, three and a half durian muchis and four durian puffs. WOOHOO!

BANANA CAKE WITH FUDGE FROSTING.

Yep! I baked again!

The first cake was a failure though. 'Cos I added too much water. Mummy told me when I first tried baking my bake was too dry. HAHA so totally opposite man!

Check this cake mixture out! It is made from scratch ok! No cake mix!
Doesn't it look like some chocolate chip cream thing????? Was damn tempted to gulp the whole thing down la! Lol.

Look at that fudge frosting maaaaan. Made from scratch too! I haven't tried it. Will try either tomorrow or Monday. Hopefully it's good! =D

Went out today with Wei Xian. To have GLUTINOUS RICE BALLS! OH YEAH! Haha. We had pasta first though. I had Vongole. Was quite light. Then had SIX glutinous rice balls. Three peanut, three sesame. AWESOME.

Then we went to Parkway because I wanted to get shorts from Giant while Wei Xian wanted to get frozen mixed vegetables. BUT I couldn't find the shorts in Giant. The frozen mixed vegetables were also too small in Giant. So we went down to Cold Storage.

OHOH PASTA MANIA HAS NEW DISHES. I'm so gonna go there one day man!

Parkway basement seems to be having this food fair thingy. There was this durian stall. Durian cheese cake, durian puff, durian EVERYTHING! Wa lao. But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna miss those food. All thanks to WORK. Sian.

Alrighty. I'm off! Quite unhappy with some people. Argh.

Do I stand a chance all over again?

FYI.

I updated my wishlist. Go check it out!

Work was pretty ok I guess for the past 4 days. Overate on Monday and Tuesday. And I thought Tuesday was the last straw because I went home feeling really uncomfortable. Like...found it quite hard to breathe properly and my chest felt very uncomfortable.

BUT on Tuesday night, it was one of our regular customers' birthday and she insisted on me drinking with her. We drank for about 2 hours. The amount I drank can easily be about a bottle much. You know those S$10 tiger beer bottle. YES that much. Maybe even more. At 11.20pm I could slowly feel I was gonna lose control of myself so I told them I had to go home.

That reminds me of the day Ah Niu and Ah Chong came in for work with hangovers. LOL they looked quite funny. Thank goodness I didn't get drunk.

Felt pretty down for a few days. As you guys could see, I was upset about me missing ballet. And then I realised how miserable my life is. It lacks of surprises. Really. I'm such a loser. Argh. AND THEN I gained weight 'cos of work. AND THEN I'm missing a lot of activities held by the UWA Zion people 'cos of work.

I've decided. That. I. Am going to. QUIT WORK ONE WEEK EARLIER. ROOOAAAAAARRR!!!!!!!!!

Is it gonna be another lonely day for me? Just like every other year?

DANCE...

Alright don't mind this post but...

I'm fucking pissed at myself for having made a fucking lousy decision by going to Australia and end up losing out in ballet. I'm a whole fucking year behind and I'm not any happy at all. I'm supposed to have done the intermediate exam but here I am, waiting to go back to fucking Australia, not doing any ballet exams for at least another 3 more fucking years.

How cool is that.

And if you think THAT is nothing, I'm sorry but you have to just fuck off. Ballet is my LIFE. I nearly gave up my studies for it. I nearly went into Laselle Sia. Fuck man. Can I fucking go back in time and not go to Australia at all?

I feel so fucked up.

"Ok I'm dieting tomorrow."

I've been saying that exact same sentence EVERYDAY ever since the festive season started BUT it has never happened. Had lunch at MACS just now. Oooooh my goodness. Sinful! And I don't like Macs.

Work has been good. I still remember the first day of work. I was so totally lost. Didn't know how to take orders, didn't know how to use the cashier, didn't have a uniform, baaaaaggy jeans and all that rubbish. Now? I can take order, use the cashier, have a uniform and have fitting jeans! Coolness right! Haha.

Withing two days I've grown really close to my colleagues. Ah Neo has been feeding me like a pig. I'm serious lol. Ah Chong has been letting me take naps during non-peak hours (that idiot doesn't wake me up even when customers come in la! Heng I know when to wake up.).

But right. I got two cuts on my fingers already. One made on Tuesday, the other on Wednesday. Wednesday's cut was quite serious 'cos it was somewhat bleeding.

Still remember that day where Zul bought a cup of coffee from McCafe for only 40 cents because he brought over sushi for the ladies working there. Tsk tsk tsk and he was so darn shy la! Lol funny person.

Oh you remember the cakes I baked? I brought a few coffee ones for my colleagues on Tuesday and they loved it! Haha. Ah Neo went to cook kim chi udon for me on Friday. For lunch. The serving he cooked could feed three big people ok! I gobbled it all down in an hour. Crazy man. Lol. Treated him to Coffee Bean's mocha ice blended 'cos of that lol.

His dinner on that day was also damn good. Deep fried rice balls, curry chicken, ginseng chicken soup and fried bean sprouts. Crazy man. I super over ate on that day. SOME MORE Nate came over, had a bowl of tempura udon and made me eat one of the tempuras. Crazy crazy crazy!

Nate sent me home on Friday night because I finished work at 1am and he lived nearby and was on the way to town. Hee thanks Nate!

Yesterday! I didn't manage to skate for 2.5 hours! I only skated 2 hours because Mummy ended early. Sian. Lol. Brought my blades to Skateline and the guy said my skates were still in tip top condition. I think I'll bring my skates for full maintainence before I got back to Perth.

Mummy and I then went to NTUC. Had breakfast at Han's. I only had half of Mummy's toast, a small bite of that banana omelette (eh it's not bad leh) and a cup of watermelon juice. Then we went for GROCERY SHOPPING!

Ran up and down the second floor area quite a few times haha. Was damn excited because I was buying baking stuff again. When Mummy and I went down to the first floor, we were about to go pay for our stuff when I saw a Garfield wall clock. I showed it to Mummy and she knew that, no matter what, she had no choice but to buy it for me lol.

Service at the counter was t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e. That lady's face was sooooo black! Mummy was damn angry.

When we got home, Mummy kept going on and on about how she wanted to lodge a complain. I'm supporting her all the way man lol.

I started baking. Mixed the cake mix and everything. Mummy had to help me with the egg whites because her egg white and yolk seperator was somewhat damn dodgy lol. I did everything else myself.

Nice nice? Hahaha.

Once I was done baking, I went to shower and OFF WE WENT to Parkway.

For no apparent reason, Parkway was daaamn packed. Thank goodness Nokia wasn't packed. Bought N72 within 15 minutes or so. Hehe. Daddy's supposed to pay S$300 and I owe him S$28 but I think...nah. I'll pay him S$300 instead. The phone's supposed to be S$528 but I traded in my Nokia 6681 so I paid S$200 less.

I so absolutely love this phone. It's not 3G (I don't see the need), it's PINK (and not too pink like 7390), the buttons are better than N70's AND the phone memory's bigger. Transferring of files will not be a hassle anymore!

When we were done, Mummy and I went around some shops in search of jeans. Went to Bossini first. I hate to say this but the service SUCKED. I was kneeling down at the shelves for a good 5 minutes but no one came to help.

Next was U2. On the way to U2, Mummy pulled me in to Levis and I pulled her out lol. LEVIS IS SO EXPENSIVE LEH MUMMY YOU SIAO AR. U2's shelves were super messy so Mummy and I ended up back in Giordano. Only their capri cut had size 24. Their shorts' smallest size was like...25?! Cannot la! 24 is already a bit big caaan!

When we were done buying, I rushed all the way across Roxy Square and took a bus down to Christ Methodist Church. Met Audrey, Liting, Simon and Kezia at the bus stop and we waited a while more before we took bus 12 down to Nelson's place.

(Shall not elaborate on the part where Audrey couldn't make up her mind whether the unit was 02-01 or 02-02 lol)Nelson's place was daaamn pretty man! Retromania to the max! Before the rest came, Simon, Liting, Audrey, Kezia, Nelson and I played this game that's pretty much like a combination of Uno and Blackjack. Quite fun. 'COS I WON. Hehe.

When the rest started coming, we started. Cell fascilitator was Karl. Did a round of introduction. Karl talked. Blah blah blah blah blah. Didn't do bible study 'cos it was pretty much the first cell for the year. At around 8 plus, close to 9, we left Nelson's place for PARKWAY.

I tell you the taxi driver was m-a-d man. He's 56 (omg I can't imagine Daddy being like him), goes clubbing, has TWO affairs, a daughter who graduated from NUS medicine and a grandaughter. He scared the hell out of Yihui, Audrey, Eunice and me ok! Gosh lol.

We waited quite a while before we got seats. As in seats for the whole cell haha. I had bak chor mee. Told myself not to give in to other temptations but still ended up buying tang yuan. AND still had ice cream afterwards. Oh my goodness absolute sinfulness.

Sent Eunice off at her bus stop. Walked across Roxy Square with Audrey, Yihui and Weijun. Took bus 12. Got home safely.

AUDERY! I DID SIT UPS! WHY DIDN'T YOU! Lol.

TODAY! Church service. Attended the youth one. It was Jon's last time leading worship! Oh nooooo! Sad ok!

Sermon was on Daniel 1. We're supposd to read up chapter 2 for next week.

The lunch decision was pretty chop chop because we've decided on it like last night lol. So we reached Macs at around 12 (that's a FIRST) and finished at around 1. I had the beef prosperity burger. Not bad la. But nothing new. Lol. I still don't like Macs.

Walked home with Eunice. Because Eunice's bus stop was also some what in the same direction. Heh.

Gonna go for ballet later. Starts at 6.30pm. SUPER CAN'T WAIT.

Took this photo on Tuesday. Doesn't the sun rise part look like an eagle?! Nice right!

Alright I'm off. I desperately need some sleep. And I need to poo. Lol. Till then!

WHAT A START.

This morning as I was rollerblading along East Coast Park (ECP), there was this lady walking right in the middle of the cyclist/skating path. My lane, that is. As in, RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE. I was so pissed I purposely skated really fast and accidentally bumped into her on her left.

Ok it wasn't totally accidentally. I was planning to scare her BUT not bump into her. She got scared and snorted. Don't ask me why she snorted. But I hope that'll teach her a lesson. I mean, I've grown to be ok with people walking along the sides of the cyclist/skating path but this damn lady was walking in the middle la!

I'm on the verge of knocking her down the next time I see her again and say "Oh oops sorry I couldn't see you on a bike or skates."

Other than that, early in the morning, before I left the house, I told my part time maid that my skates CANNOT be cleaned with wet cloth. She said "Oh nono I never cleaned your skates with wet cloth before! I only put it out in the sun!"

Yeah right. I saw you cleaning them with a wet cloth with my very own eyes. Even MUMMY saw you do it and told me how "nice" you were before she knew it'll spoil the skates.

Please la are you trying to imply we're blind? Anyone who believes in you would be a damn freakin' dumbass.

Not to mention how you actually re-arranged ALL my display items on my bed side shelves. AND flattened all my damn bras. That's it, you're never ever gonna enter my room ever again. Happy?

Ok sorry for all those crude ramblings. I had migraine yesterday and there's a pretty high chance of me having migraine again today. 'Cos my head's still aching a little. ARGH.

I'll be baking the coconut cake this Saturday!

BLOG BLOG BLOG!

Alright I don't know if I'll have the time to blog everything since New Year's Eve but heck let's start.

On Sunday morning, Eunice drove to my house 'cos she couldn't find a parking in the church itself. Not surprised I'd say haha. So we walked to Christ Methodist Church (CMC) at around 10.25am. Reached church on the dot!

We sat with the youth ministry. Sermon was goood. Arise and shine. Overall the service was really really good. I felt God's presence all over again.

MAX THAT DOOF WAS THERE. He's finally back from Australia and Malaysia. Lol.

Eunice and I were planning to eat at Cafe Cartel but in the end, when Eunice had parked her car already, Mark, Max and Keith told her they're eating at Thai Express, just beside Cafe Cartel. So we decided to join them!

I had seafood tom yam soup with kway teow. Mark had this clayfish tom yam soup with glass noodle. His was suuuuper duper red hot lol. Max had...some rice thingy. Eunice had some fried glass noodle. Keith had clayfish claypot I think. Lol. Eunice's was the best.

I ate hell loads. After finishing mine, I could even help Eunice finish hers HAHA. When we were done, Eunice and I went to Secret Recipe (or was it Sweet Recipe?) to get a slice of cake. Eunice bought chocolate banana. Looked super duper sinful but I still shared it with Eunice when we got home. As in my home haha.

When we finished that slice of cake, it was about 2.45pm. TIME TO START BAKING!

We didn't quite mess up the kitchen. Only a bit here and there. Was totally fun!

The coconut cake looked like a HUGE lump of nonya kueh la! But it looks good nonetheless haha.

And there goes Daddy's coffee cake. Looks good eh! Hahaha.

We left my house at around 5.45pm for Mandarin Gardens. Party with one of CMC's CG. When we reached, Eunice went one whole round around Mandarin Gardens in search of a parking. When she finally parked, we realised we parked at the wrong block. So she moved again to the right block and parked. And UP WE WENT TO #22-33! Nice number right!

When we reached the unit, food was still cooking. Could smell cheeeeese. So Eunice and I sat in a corner and chatted. Didn't quite mix around. Even when the food were out, we stood in a corner. Nate kept asking us to take food. PAI SEH LA. Lol.

The food was goood. There were fish (the one with cheeese), shepherd's pei, sushi (didn't manage to eat any =( ), roasted chicken (didn't any of that either), fried rice (ALSO didn't eat that) and pasta. I loooved the fish. Shepherd's pie was good too. Pasta was spiiicy haha. Apparently there were jelly and stew also but I didn't see any. I didn't take any beer either. THERE WAS ALSO CHOCOLATE FONDUE WITH FRUITS. Absolutely loved that one.

After dinner we hung around the living room area. Played a game. Where the "monkey" would stand in front and ask us who or what he/she is. The game master will tell us his/her character or name. So the "monkey" can only ask yes/no questions, and from the clues guess who he/she is. Fun fun!

Eunice left first because she had to go Pasir Ris for a watch night service with her parents. So the rest of the time I was chatting with Nate. Uncle Neal shared for a while, we slacked around for a while more and when the time was up, we left for CMC.

Nate was going on and on about how he wanted to take a cab lol but everyone else wanted to take a bus (? They didn't realise there wasn't any bus from Mandarin Gardens). It started raining so Mel and Ron decided to take a cab too. BUT there were no cabs on the road so in the end we walked to East Coast Road and took a bus down. It was only a few stops la! Lol.

We were late. So we went to sit upstairs. Same worship team, Pastor Edmund preached and there was Holy Communion. Nate also announced his new year resolution lol. You better make it happen, Nate! Hahaha.

At midnight, everyone upstairs were walking around shaking each others' hands wishing each other Happy New Year! I shook quite a lot of people's hands and hugged some too. When service was over, we went down and mixed around with the rest.

It took them quite a while to decide where to go and then quite a while more to start walking to Uncle Neal's house. Yep, we decided to go Uncle Neal's house again for drinks and MORE FOOD.

Nate, Mel, Diana, this guy whose name I've clearly forgotten and I sat in Uncle Neal's car. Reached in just a few minutes! And we were the first! Lol.

So Uncle Neal took things out again and Nate made drinks. He made vanilla vodka mixed with sprite and lemon. Couldn't quite taste the alcohol actually =P. When we finished the drink, Nate kept making more for himself and me. His second and third cups had a stronger vodka taste. I like! Heh.

Then he poured Baileys. Which was like...only one quarter cup????? Lol. Finished it before I knew it. Then he poured another cup when Isaiah was about to leave =_=. Ya, Isaiah was supposed to send me home because no one else stayed near me other than him and Max. I wanted to gulp down the whole cup of Baileys but Nate snatched it away from me after I gulped down only a quarter. Idiot! Lol.

In the end Mark drove me home. With Max, Diana and Mel. Hah thanks Mark!

Did I also mention Nate brought down Uncle Neal's two guitars and made the whole unit sound super noisy lol.

I totally enjoyed my New Year's Eve. The best so far. Can't wait for 31/12/2007! =D

My hands feel itchy again. Might bake another cake on Saturday.
