A 3 day fun & 1 Indian adventure

And I hope this makes you happy now, that the flame we had is burning out.

The good thing about today was meeting up with the girls and Edmund. Ly, Brenda, Eileen, Elissa and I studied at Pasir Ris library, and it felt like the sec4 days again. We used to study together almost everyday at Cafe Galilee after school, having fatty chicken chunks and coffee drinks for lunch. Study session was phail, Brenda and I ended up playing Taptap!

We went over to Tampines where Graci joined us and Brenda left. While heading to Century for dinner, we being girls detoured into almost every other shop while Edmund’s stomach watched in horror. Something happened after that and while it did affect me for a little while, I know that probing doesn’t make one happy. Just so you know, it’s not about him, it’s about you. Anyway, Elissa & I shared a bowl of ban mian for dinner, and I still reckon that Plaza Sing has the best ban mian! Edmund, Eileen and I went over to Simei to wait for Ly to end work after that, and I drank Starbucks again after so long. The actual plan for the day was dinner with Eileen, Ly and Edmund, but no one refuses cutie pie Brenda!

I came home after that and everything went downhill. First, I received a mail from Facebook saying “We have detected suspicious activity on your Facebook account and have temporarily suspended your account as a security precaution.” Then, I lost yet another strip of my Scar treatment gel sheet, so there goes $9. And apart from that all, I’m still thinking about just now.

Whatever it is, I’m done with today. It’s pass 12 now and whatever happens yesterday stays there.

Human trash.

At 6am this morning, my good-for-nothing brother started a huge war that woke me up. He spent the entire night on the laptop so my Dad confiscated it while he went out for breakfast. When I’m talking about my brother’s breakfast, it means 2 main courses with deep-fried sides. The fatso started making a huge din (he yelled fuck you), my Dad retaliating, and my Mum pleading them to stop. I can’t help but think that she has a huge part to play in him being like that. She treats him like a gem because he had leukemia, but I think he’s pure trash. Anyone who survives cancer should know better than to waste life away, no?

2 days ago, the fruitcake was yelling at Mum for not getting him a laptop at Sitex. She apparently promised him one, and I think that’s the probem with her. God knows what kind of mother-son relationship have they fostered. He started a pathetic and corny tirade, the usual “I’m never going to trust you again! If you give me 3k now, I will never take anything from you again.” 3k is a worthy investment if he will really fuck off from this house and family, but he’s a leeching animal so that won’t happen. Mum lovessssx1000 him too much anyway.

At the age of 21, he’s jobless, soon-to-be cashless, morbidly overweight and useless. When in ITE, his teacher called to say that the scum was forcing his mates to complete his homework. In the army, he spent at least 2/5 days a week at home gaming. His usual early morning supper comprises of eating cup noodle from the petrol kiosk while squatting near the huge trash bin. At the rate he’s eating, he’ll do the world a favour by dying at 30. I hope Dad throws him out when he’s 25 and still useless.

A bunch of meat that walks and talks, destroy immediately if seen.

I can be your hero, baby :)

I heard this song in NUM today when Elissa, Eileen and I were looking for slippers. The guy replayed it when I asked for the title ^^ Elissa told me to stop it when I sang to her, telling her that I could be her hero :’( Dinner with them was great and I swear I’m over Cupwalker after today. And oh, I made a fool of myself in front of a cute guy, hai

Band was alright, since we’re actually starting to play music instead of avant-garde pieces. Xuanhao, Yanhao and I had lunch at MacfreakingDonalds, and their Avatar burger, despite tasting good, was a sinful fatty patty. The best thing about lunch was seeing Brenda there, luvluv I stuffed serviettes into her bag when she was busy eating hehe. We met Thomas the toy train at the bus stop who had 2 hours to burn before Church started. I had to wait for Eileen and Elissa too so we ended up Tampines Mac (again) talking. The toy train was very insightful, and I enjoyed talking to him.

So despite the showdown with Mummy Teh last night, today was awesome. Nothing extraordinary, but nonetheless a happy day. The best things in life aren’t things.

Mofo.

Sushi Don, Clarke Quay, Girls.

The only camera I had back then was a phone camera (what a l0s3r), so I missed out on capturing the best 4 years of my life. Thank god for friends like Megansimsy, Sheena the camwhore, Yihao the gadget boy, Nonya Wong, Eileen etc and of course Facebook who took down those Kodak moments for me.

I bake, therefore I am.

After yesterday’s letdown, I decided to do the idiot-proof Oreo truffles instead.

I don’t have a food processor, so yours truly 1) manually crushed the Oreo biscuits into powder with a rolling-pin 2) combined the Oreos and cream cheese with a wooden spatula until my arms almost broke. Top on my christmas wish list: Food processor! No actually, it’s the Iphone.

I know it looks like shit, but you can’t go wrong with cream cheese and Oreo.

I’ve been seeing (and licking while baking) so much chocolate lately I swear I will throw up soon. Anyway, I’m finally meeting the clique tomorrow for dinner, cannot wait Staying over at Felicia’s after that and then band on Wednesday…. Such a spoiler. But Dad’s having on operation on Wednesday too so I might just skip band. I’ve been acting like a bitch recently because he doesn’t want me to go for the India OCIP I suck. Part of me really, really wants to go, but Dad keeps telling me its unsafe and he’s worried. We haven’t quarrelled since the start of this year and I don’t want to jeopardize that.

Oh yes, I had my first unofficial/impromptu outing with my classmates today I hope I’ll actually open up to them more next year. I’ve wasted the whole of 2009 and I don’t want to leave VJ feeling like I’ve got nothing.

Tomorrow:

• 8-930: Math Lecture
• 1030-12: Eat my cup noodle, read Physics.
• 12-1: Sleep.
• 2-4: Swim. I MUST STOP PROCRASTINATING AND EXERCISE.
• 4.30: Get ready for dinner.

Food, food and more food.

I have 2 new best friends, my mixer and the oven. My parents went out for a $38++ Japanese buffet dinner and left me at home, so I decided to try out this Cheesecake Blondie recipe. Unfortunately, it was a flop It tasted like what a 70 yr old diabetic old lady would call “Just right!”. I always thought it was an unwritten rule to cut down on the sugar, but no!! When it comes to recommended recipes, black and white is always right.

My best friend, the mixer.

The bottom cookie layer.

The cheese was still soft, so it ended up jiggling around when I tried to spread the cookie batter on top.

It was supposed to be cookie + cheesecake + cookie, but it ended up tasting like muffin + tasteless cheese + muffin. I hate muffins okay!! Dad will get rid of this mess for me by bringing it to office HAHA. He says that the office ladies love to munch, so they’ll always finish the food. My deflated confidence will stick to cookies and idiot-proof truffles for now.

Anyway, Dad brought me to Swenson’s on Friday cause I was dying to try out their crab set!

The soft shell crab was sooooooo good but the chilli crab soup was too tomato-ish for my liking. Dad had salmon with extra mushroom and onion toppings (toppings were $2 each!!!) and the bill came up to a freaking $38. What a rip off

Now moving on to macarons, Bakerzin is selling them for $1 per piece this November! I got Yanhao the hazelnut one, and he said it tasted weird :O What a waste!! The sesame one I tried was so orgasmic, I came home to look for recipes. Unfortunately, they are one of the hardest things to master and macaron classes cost $120+ Boohoo.

Anyway, Band tune in on Saturday was I was actually looking forward to practice because I knew for sure that the band would sound different with the Sec4s. Sure enough, we sounded big, refreshing and somewhat nostalgic. It brought me back to the days when I was so eager to attend practices. Despite enjoying the session, I ironically found myself constantly looking at the clock a little while later. Band isn’t really my thing anymore, is it?
