Christmas 2010



First of all, Merry Christmas! :D
To be honest, this year's Christmas is the best Christmas I ever had so far! Why? It's the first time I had so much fun celebrating it with my friends, the 10 of us. All of us were actually cooking together, to prepare for Christmas dinner - Lasagna, spagetti, mashed potato, cincau drink! I baked Cream Cheese Choc Brownies for them too, and I'm super happy that they love it! Haha! Was happy to know that they were all craving for my brownies. :D

My first time baking this! Glad it turns out well~ :P


The cooking session was so fun. It's like..."Come, let's smash the potato!, Eh.....come here, try try see got taste or not, Put more pepper!, Don't put so much butter, Go buy ice!, Need to cook the water and sugar one la, Go get pandan leaves!, Stop smashing the potatoes, already enough smooth lah, Go heat up the sauce in the microwave!, and it goes on and on. Everyone was busy in the kitchen, while having fun together, you know, the loud voices, haha, and it was so happening and joyful. It is our first time cooking together anyway, nice! :P

I like it too when we discussed on how to celebrate next year's birthday parties for all of us. And the ideas given are to do something interesting next year, which is what I am looking forward to! Can't wait. :D

It's really nice to have a big group to hang out and have lotsa fun with, something that I do not have experienced in during high school, and that's the NUMBER ONE reason why I love my college life more. No hard feelings, just joke around, with lotsa fun and LOL all the way!
Really hope we can stay on to this group, forever! ^_^

Friday

Shocking news from yesterday - There will be a PT3 for P6 next 2 weeks, which Mr.Teo called it a SPECIAL TEST! *doink*
Since only 2 people passed for PT2, Ms Kok then created a PT3 for us, and the passing rate is 30%, below this then will be barred. Sigh.....
This is actually my first time feeling so scared of being barred from the finals.
Which also means that I need to start studying for tax already. More than 40 topics!
Taking 3 papers at one time is not easy, I'm scared I will neglect 1 paper, just like my F5. =( *touch wood*
I WANT TO PASS ALL 3 PAPERS THIS SEM, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!

Studied in the library after lunchie ytd, see I'm starting to be hardworking. Haha!
With him and "Baby". 03 and Joyce should know who is the"Baby" I meant. LOL

He drew this for me while I was away.
Our fav colour. =)
CUTE! XD
Ms Kok said, cute means ugly but charming.
I thought it's supposed to be ugly but adorable? Same gua. xD
So, is it good or bad to call someone cute? Haha!


Our convo in the library via paper, since we are not allowed to talk there. (Reminds me of Good Bin too. HAHA!)
There is always emoticon/picture for every dialogue he wrote.
The CUTE panda and CUTE Xmas! :D



♥ Mixed Nuts mooncake!
My new favourtite flavour~ Hehe!
Alot of people told me that only old people
♥ this flavour, but don't know why I actually fell in ♥ with it when I first tried it. That doesn't mean I'm old, okay? xD
Bet Bin definitely vomit out if she is forced to eat this, right, Bin? (nuts + mooncake somemore. HAHA)
Too bad this year, mum bought alot of White Lotus ones. =(
Next year ba - lotsa Mixed Nuts for me! and
Häagen-Dazs mooncakes from you too, like you told me! *jk jk* LOL


Good Bin, Good Bin, when you want to drink SF Coffee? I feel like drinking it next week! Faster faster, before I changed my mind NOT to treat! xD
You still owe me Starbucks, no set off ya! *blek*

I ♥ what LYG President says to me ytd : _______________________________________ (Good Bin should know. LOL)

Next week is gonna be a busy week, but I can't wait for it. Hehehe!


P/S : Currently listening to My Love (Westlife).


P/P/S : It crakes my head to think and decide which LV product to have for my 21st! *dang*
Can't believe you still keep it after 10 days. =D

中秋节快乐

Happy Mid Autumn Festival~
中秋节快乐!
One of my favourite Chinese festivals anyway, that's coz I ♥ MOONCAKES like.......ALOT! :D


Earlier, I was still wondering why he asked me not to sleep so early, and was not allowed to ask WHY somemore. HAHA.
4 hours ago, I finally knew why. I actually
♥ the surprises you gave me, it was really very very sweet!
I was really very touched, honestly.
It was simple, but really sweet.
It is my first time celebrating this festival with someone other than my family, and I ♥ it!
The PINKY latterns and mooncake, and the stories! =)
=) =)
Finally, get to play lattern, and you made me have the feeling back again (after years of not playing it. LOL) with the childhood memories I had. =)
The effort and thoughts from you, THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH~
Although it was just a short moment, I still ♥ it! =)
(I didn't burn the latterns, they are still with me. They are really beautiful. Hehe!)

Listening to 月亮代 表 我 的心 by Teresa Tang, reminds me of Moonlight Resonance, which I watched it so many times, and I watched it too, while I was having my dinner. xD

Me just got back from my celebration with my friends, somewhere near Joyce's house.
There is no plan at first, but then Songie texted me, and asked me if there is any plan for mooncake, and since I am the even manager of LYG as what president Beh assigned me to be, LOL, I came up with a mooncake gathering, with some help from Songie of coz. XD
Anyway, it is also my first time celebrating it with my friends. Hehe!

Had lotsa fun too - walking around with the pinky lattern he bought me (I just ♥ looking at it with me, with the bright light inside, and it is really sweet, everytime I looked at it!), lighting up candles, ate mooncakes, playing story-making (Ivan's stories is really silly), burning stuffs (We are so not environmental-friendly. HAHA), and of coz took some pictures! :D
Pictures? That ah.....need to wait for President! Wonder how long it will take her to upload them in FB. HAHA.


P/S : After 21 years of living in this world, I just realised that the night is actually brighter than other nights when there is a full moon. LOL



♥ the ☆★

Yummy Yammy! :D

Had this for dinner just now, at Snowflakes!
Lotsa lotsa YAMS! :D
It supposed to be yam + redbean + pearls, but I changed them all to yams! LOL

I'm so gonna be a sweet-tooth this month!
Lots of thanks to my Bini for her FOC vouchers from Honeymoon~!!!!!!!!!! :D
(I wonder how am I gonna use them all. HAHA)



Bumped into James just now. I was like......"JAMES!" XD
What a small world. Haha! He shooked my hand really hard, twice somemore. =.="
Thanks for his tips to study P6 anyway. Guess what?! Biggest shock for this sem, I failed my P6 for PT2 with terrible mark! T.T
Okay, kinda expected that coming, as I didn't touch P6 at all for PT2~
Too much of P1, I suppose. *dang*


Suppose to watch Step Up 3 - 3D with Bernice and Songie today, but erm...plan cancelled. I don't plan to watch anyway, nah.....mood-less for movie now, but....Songie asked me to join! *swt*
Maybe I should ask him to treat me, then I go for it! HAHA...



P/S : Glad that you like my peanut butter spread biscuits although it's just a simple breakfast from me. *big smiles*
Still wondering why you asked me not to sleep so early tmw. Hehe!


P/P/S : Cowards. Are those really the truth or still, lies, again? Don't know why some people just love to lie so much and wonder how they can live happily their lives with all the lies they made up?
Don't call others liars when you, yourself are the big, fat liar. I just hate liars!

Banana Butterscotch Muffins

By Nigella Lawson

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 125ml vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 250g flour
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 150g butterscotch (or chocolate) morsels

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6 and line a 12-bun muffin tin with muffin papers.
  2. Mash the bananas and set aside for a moment.
  3. Pour the oil into a jug and beat in the eggs.
  4. Put the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder into a large bowl and mix in the beaten-egg-and-oil mixture, followed by the mashed bananas.
  5. Fold in the butterscotch morsels, then place equal quantities in the prepared muffin tin - I use an ice cream scoop and a spatula - and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Serves: Makes 12

Vanilla Shortbread

By Nigella Lawson

Ingredients

  • 100g icing sugar
  • 200g plain flour, preferably Italian 00
  • 100g cornflour
  • 200g very soft unsalted butter
  • Seeds from 1 vanilla pod
  • Vanilla or ordinary caster sugar for sprinkling

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3.
  2. Put the icing sugar, plain flour and cornflour into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the double-bladed knife and give them a quick blitz (just to save you sieving, which is my most-hated job in the kitchen) before adding the butter along with the vanilla seeds you've scraped out of a pod. (I find the easiest way to do this is by cutting the pod in half across, and then splitting each short half lengthwise and prising out the seeds with the point and edge of a sharp knife. Don't even think of throwing the deseeded bits of pod away: stash them in a jar of caster to use next time a recipe requires vanilla sugar.)
  3. Process again until the soft mixture coheres and begins to form a ball, loosely clumping around the blade. Turn this out on to a Swiss roll tin and press to form an even (or as even as you can make it) layer, using fingers or the back of a spoon, or both. Be patient: I promise you it will fit smoothly.
  4. Using the tip of a sharp knife cut the pressed-out shortbread into fingers. I make two incisions lengthways - ie to form three layers - and then make ten cuts down - so that you end up with eleven fingers per layer. Obviously, the aim should be to cut at regular intervals but don't start getting your ruler out. Just go by eye: uniformity is the province of the conveyer belt not of home cooking. Use the tines of a fork to make little holes in each marked-out biscuit: I press down about three times, diagonally, on each finger.
  5. Now that you've pressed, incised, and punctured, slide the Swiss roll tin into the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, by which time the shortbread will be pale still, but not doughy. Expect a little goldenness around the edges, but shortbread should be not crisp but melting. Remove the tin from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes or so, before removing, with a palette knife and your fingers, to a wire rack. Sprinkle with sugar and leave them to cool completely before storing in a tin.
Serves: Makes 33 fingers.

STRONG PERSON

A strong person knows how to keep their life in order. Even with tears in their eyes, they still manage to say "I'm ok" with a smile. Send this to a strong person. I just did. God is good. Change is coming. God saw your sadness and said hard times are over. If you believe in Him, send this to ten people including me. Watch what happens in thirty minutes! Be honest and send this to anyone who made you smile this year.
J
It may surprise you how many you get back. Thanks for making me smile.

Live, Laugh, Love

Diary, here it goes. All about my life.

Well, just started off with my revised obu just now. when i look back and try to redo it, i don't know why but my hear doesn't feel good. making me think of asshole who "destroyed" my obu. i feel "fan" doing it, again. like so demotivating and at the same time feel scared i will fail again. touch wood.

this time, i am doing the obu all alone. no one with me to depend on, and i am not quite used to it. doing everything alone. but i kinda like it, to do it alone. i want to be more independent anyway. i am starting to dislike being dependent on others now. like as though i am a baby.

edc is going to start soon. this friday. now i really need to catch up with my studies and obu. alot for me t study and catch up with things. everything needs to be settled asap. next month, needs to hand in resume, obu, termination of hostel, etc. i don't think i am going to take CIA though. i think it is best for me to work first, and get my acca membership.

i actually want to venture into baking field though. my dream is to open up a bakery. so maybe CIA is not my thing.
honeslty, i am actually scared to go out and work. i can't imagine how my work life will be. but mum said there is nothing to be scared of. i need to start from somewhere anyway.

last week, i read yj's mail to ej, on june. it really make me cry when i read it. i didn't know yj hated me so much that time. mum was even very disappointed with me as her daughter. those sentences i read really hurt me alot. even until now those sentences are in my head, and i cant forget them at all.

mum said i have changed alot this 2-3 years. changed to be a different person. i know that too.
i actually don care about my family at all. i m selfish and only live in my own world. i don even do housework or hostel work. i feel terrible. i know i am a lousy sister and daughter. i don't know i only care about my studies and nothing else. is my life consider as meaningless as i only deal with studies?

lately, bin doesn't talk to me much too. she talks more to yx in college. i told ej this and she is not surprised with it. i dy "fan" bin with my bloody stupid break up problem last sem, nearing to finals, and still tell her that the asshole still send me mails, etc.
i thought she wants to hear about my problem, but now, i don think so. she is sick of it. if i were her, i will feel sick of it too. it is like as though my life is full of ppl's problems and nothing about my life.
sigh. what can i do now? friends come and go. perhaps she thinks i neglect her since i got km now. but the fact is i am not that close to km and he is only my friend. in my heart, i will choose my friends over him anyway. sigh.. i don't know la. i always have friendship problem every year. guess i just need to deal with it, and don't care so much about it.
if ppl don't like me, i can't do anything. i still need to be me and go on with my life.
i was just wondering, if my friends are envy of me, and my life. this sem, i have 2 ppl courting me, out of sudden. are they envy of me?

lately i don't even feel like taking pics much with friends. i don't want to insist to take pics with them, with me inside in every pic. they might think i am very full of myself, or think that "i know la, you very pretty, and want to be inside in every pic".
i don't know why but i have the feeling there are some of my friends who are envy of me. alot of ppl told me i m cute, pretty, attractive, smart, which every guy will want. but i don't think so at all. i a not that smart or pretty. i am blur, too honest and straight forward, dungu, getting to be fatter, etc. nothing good or great in me, why do they want to be envy of me right? this is impossible. now i dunno if bin got go sing k with my friends or not. i did tell her last week that don go sing k without me. if she really go sing k today, then i know that she doesn't care about me dy. nah, don go then nvm. i go with soemone else next time.

i know i have a bit of looks. i think i am too much of myself anyway. i am always scared of what others will think of me. like as though i want to be prefect in everyone's eyes, when i know there is no such thing as perfect in this world.

I AM WEIRD!

lately, i did know things about sg too, her life. i don't know but she is my motivation and inspiration. she is so independent now, and so wanna be a successful person in life. she got everything she wants in her life. she is so lucky. not like me, fail f5 and obu. =(
i dunno if i make such a big fuss when i failed. ppl always tell me that there are alot of opputunities in my life since i am still young. silly me right?

this sem is my last sem, i really want to graduate. i really want to work hard and pass all my last 3 papers and obu. all at one go. i really need to focus already. i don want to turn back like last time. i must not be affected by anything, anyone esp that asshole who always send me those stupid apology mails which are all lies and bullshits. i don even wanna keep in touch with her anymore. i must be like sg, who ignored all my sms and calls last time. haha.
i must not be soft hearted. so i will use sg's strategy although it did hurt me last time, to have her to ignore me and don want me as her friend. perhaps i am just a bad friend, that's why no one wants a friend like me. eg. i broke my promise to bernice last time, i guess she doesn't trust me anymore now. sigh. my fault.

i really need to stop online too much dy. i need to utilise my time fully now on studies and obu. i have stop blogging anyway except this as my diary. nothing much to facebook now anyway. so bored with fb, all full of kepoh stuffs and ppl's lives which is totally none of my biz, like what mum said. plus stop thinking and worrying about km too. swt!

okay. stop writing diary for now. back to studying mood.

STOP BEING FULL OF MYSELF!
