The Adventures of a Girl

Boohoo.... my Nine Layer Kuih fail la!

The "exterior" looks nice, but the texture is ermmm... ermmmm... somehow jelly-fied and sticky-fied?
Darn... should have used corn flour instead of glutinous flour! Stupid recipe giving misguided ingredients!

The bright side for today's cooking sp;ree is that at least my Tong Yun tasted nice. BUT bloody Tong Yun is fool-proof and anybody can make it! :(

Well, smart people prepare for emergencies and surprises. So at least I can consider myself smart for buying an extra can of coconut milk to make Kuih Talam for tomorrow?

Ida Low in a very foul mood :( :( :(

It has been awhile since I had some "quality" all girls company/chat/gossip session... Ahh... Miss the old days when my Brizzy Babes were around.... (@______@)"

But anyway, yesterday was fun. The fun part of the day was not having guys around and we can gossip like nobody's business! AND not having ANYONE JK telling me that I am becoming more like an aunty when I gossip and talk about COOKING! GRrrrrr.......

I think baking cookies and cupcakes were the secondary activity yesterday, gossiping was the main "activity" instead! *Thanks Jean for organising baking day!* wet eyes

Baking task number 1: Lemon Creamed Butter Cookie decorated with icing sugar

Baking task number 2: Oreo-Cheese Cupcakes decorated with Oreo flakes and whipped cream

The cooks/gossip girls of the day: Jean, Ah Bun, Sherilyn, Winnie, Carol & ME!

Love you girls!

And introducing our very first food tester: Ryo

I think he sort of liked the cookie he was CRAMPING into his mouth? Poor him... had to go through a "process" to compliment us and our "victories". Which is something like this:

Ryo: WAR! Very nice ler! *eyes open wide wide*

Us: Of course la!

Ryo: Eh how you make it one? *as if very interested look*

Us: Aiyo very easy only *act smug and proud of our efforts*

Girls.... like compliments and nice nice comments to amplify our small efforts to make us feel good. :p

還沒好好的感受　雪花綻放的氣候
我們一起顫抖　會更明白　甚麼是溫柔
還沒跟你牽著手　走過荒蕪的沙丘
可能從此以後　學會珍惜　天長和地久

＊有時候　有時候　我會相信一切有盡頭
相聚離開　都有時候　沒有甚麼會永垂不朽

＃可是我　有時候　寧願選擇留戀不放手
等到風景都看透　也許你會陪我看細水長流

還沒為你把紅豆　熬成纏綿的傷口
然後一起分享　會更明白　相思的哀愁
還沒好好的感受　醒著親吻的溫柔
可能在我左右　你才追求　孤獨的自由

Went for 2012 during the weekend, and this sets me thinking. What if 2012 is true and the world is coming to an end? I wonder how would I react in this situation... would I be like the pilgrims kneeling down and praying hard to god, asking for repentance before dooms day? or will I be scrambling around the earth looking for a way to stay alive? But I guess all these are just random questions that will never be answered unless the situation really arises. But one thing for sure, no matter what, I want to be with the people I love during those frantic moments. :)

I cannot predict what will happen in 2012. But I can definitely predict what will happen this weekend... A BLOODY BUSY WEEKEND WITH A BUS LOAD FULL OF ACTIVITIES!

Read an article in The Star about women being smarter if they have bigger breast?

Hmm.... wait a minute. So this means I am "not so smart" after all!

Maybe I need a boob job to increase and enhance my "smart brain cells" than... (@_______@)""

A sudden surge of I miss..

travelling and exploring new places. Widening my horizons and realizing how lucky I am to be able to travel around and see the world...

good food from around that tantalizes my taste buds.

my twin and Sin Hui. The two people that I adore and who I came through thick and thin in a used to be foreign country. The Park Road Boys. Who cheers me up when I cry, cook for me when I am hungry, bear with me when I am grumpy and accepts me for who I am.

ray. The cook that irritates me at times yet knows me well. Andrew. His comments that never fail to frust me, yet leave a smile on my face. Debbie. The bride to be whom I find to be one of the best travelling companion...

ah Poh, Lao Gong, Xin Xin, Ling Ling, Ah Ping, Kah Hooi, Shu Chin, Koko, Yang Yang. Friends I love, friends whom I have known for years, and have stuck with me for years. Friends I could never picture myself without, as my life would be incomplete if you have not came into my life.
