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?

Buttermilk biscuit.

4k had dinner at Popeyes yesterday, and I fell in love with their buttermilk biscuit. Unlike Ly, Brenda, Eileen and everyone else, I like mine plain. It was thick and crispy on the outside while soft, moist and fluffy on the inside. Very much unlike the dry ones you get at airport. Sent me straight to cloud 9 on first bite!

Me being me decided to look for recipes during my 2 hour break today. I faithfully waited for my 2 hours sectionals to start at 3.30 when I ended school at 1.30. There’s sectionals again this Wed and combined prac this Thurs which begins at 4 when school ends at 1.30 鸡蛋糕

Back to my recipe search, I found a few recipes and the very unfortunate fact that each Popeyes biscuit has 240 calories!! Ly and I had 2 each last night and we shared coleslaw, fries and a little bit of Brenda’s chicken. That would make a rough total of about 600 calories, which is more filling then the freaking subway sandwich I had for lunch! But you know, the 240 calorie buttermilk biscuit is still as delicious as ever.

Anyway, my parents keep insisting that India is dangerous and refuse to let me go for OCIP. My dad even went on to talk about a serial killer and anything he can think off just to dissuade me. I hate it when do they do that instead of being open-minded and having a proper talk with me.

You suck.

I hate all you irresponsible folks out there who blow your friends off. It sickens me how you enthusiastically embrace the idea of a gathering, and then always not turn up. Don’t you see that you’ll end up being a could-do-without on the invite list purely for old times’ sake? How’d you like it when you’re old and saggy, and the only friend you have left is your uninterested spouse?

2d outing was a failure yesterday, and so was 4k’s today. Leeying took the effort to plan and accommodate, but there were so many of you rude enough to not even reply. How would you like it if no one bothers when you send your wedding invites? Then there’s the other group of mindless faggots who, deciding that everyone else is unworthy, can’t make up their minds. More often than not, they’ll pull out last-minute with an excuse so pathetic, it’s an obvious lie. No one’s gna turn up at your funeral because we’ll all be caught in a traffic jam, okay? If you do have a legitimate excuse, then it would only be polite to inform the planner in advance. And to those who take advantage of Ly just because she’s tolerant, you have no sodding conscience. I hope you burn in hell.

You can place everything and anything before us, but one day you’re gonna look back and realise how much you’re missing out on. I’m not saying that everyone of you who couldn’t turn up suck, don’t get me wrong. I’m only talking about those who have been bloody pricks. If you’re gna be an unappreciative bitch or bastard, then fuck you very much.

I can only wait for the fog to go.

Simpang has lost its charm. I had dinner with the 2d guys there yesterday, and the Indian prata man pissed me off. When I asked for 1 kosong, he said “Minimum 2 pieces!” I didn’t want 2 pieces, so I waited for the others to order first. After Edmund ordered 1 cheese 1 kosong, I told the uncle again “1 kosong.” And then he said “Cannot I say minimum 2 pieces!” WTF? “Okay uncle, we’ll have 1 cheese 2 kosong in total instead.” Then he took the order and went off.

Back in my AH days, there was no such dumb marketing strategy. The milo there was also cheap and good and there was a nice lady who would sometimes give us a student discount. Now, everything is terribly overpriced and the food doesn’t taste as good anymore. The guys ordered Roti John and according to Yihao, there was no meat at all inside. The cheese fries had hardly any cheddar and the prata didn’t taste as chewy and delicious as before. And the other time the guys ordered some milo drink, the ice cream on top turned out to be whipped cream.

We went over to Yihao’s place as usual and watched Gabriel Iglesias and Peter Chao. Crude and offensive but I laughed till I cried. The whole outing was pretty unsuccessful in the end but I still had fun anyway. And friends, if I replied you last night, it means I’m not mad. No worries.

Teppanyaki @ Eileen’s!

Jiemeis had Teppanyaki at Eileen’s again yesterday, happy happy. There was sashimi this time and Royce truffles!! Eileen fed my one this morning and I devoured it in one mouth. What a waste. Halfway through dinner last night, Ly, Brenda and I decided to sleepover and have a HTHT session. Elissa, Eileen and I ended up dozing off at 12 plus, the earliest I’ve slept in days. Ly the power woman stayed up to watch Sister’s Keeper and did not cry at all! Of course, guess who woke up the latest this morning?!?

Of cookies and debts.

What I did for baking class on Friday! Pretty but troublesome, and absolutely not diet-friendly. On my way to class, I saw an old lady pulling down her pants behind Newton Food Centre, getting ready to take a piss. Thank god I went off fast enough before she flashed me her butt. I went to Bugis after that and had durian chewy junior for lunch. Bagus!! I love anything that has durian in it. My first day out in 5 days and my first shopping trip in ages, I have no life.  Bought 2 new dresses and I think I have to starve a day in advance if I want to wear my bodycon dress.

Anyway, I went out for dinner with my parents just now and we had chilli crab and fried mantou!! It’s the bomb. I even got a new cake mixer and cookie cutters, all paid by Dad Shall have some fun with it tomorrow and bake for Tuesday’s dinner with Jiemeis. Oh, Felicia, Sheena, Megan and I were supposed to go out on Monday for KBox but Sheena has PW Hate you Sheena, I’m gna hold your OBS shirt hostage.
