Ms Bhutto is gone. Pakistan is in a mess. Gosh. The country is thrown into a EXTREMELY unstable economic, political...

And all we cared is that if there is a fly in our soup..

Ah well. Finished Sophie's World. FINALLY. Quite a weak ending. I suppose it is really hard to end for many books. Harry Potter, Life of Pi, Sophie's World, all had not-very-nice endings. Not that i can do better but I would have expected more from these amazing authors.

Watched I Am Legend yesterday. Hmm. Quite a action-pack film. But the film makers tried to make the audience tear by using the usual "cute child" and "lost a friend" ideas. Good film but could be better. And according to Zhan Hui and Glen, Will Smith shown exercising in films is just to 'gei kiang'. Hahaha.

Thats all for now!

oh HO! I know i haven't blogged for suchh a LONGGG time. Just didn't have the blogging mood.HAHAHAHAHA.

So, today started off bad with a headache when i woke up and run.Continued throughout the day until i took a long nap in the afternoon. This means that i was in my PMS mood in the morning and afternoon.

Both lunch and dinner was with dad's friends. Nothing interesting..

Well, other stuff that happened during the non-blogging period:

Ate ice-cream at island creamery for the first time. Hahaha. Very Berry is not bad. But again, i would give that up for the mudpie. And if you were wondering the CHESTNUTS. Me and My sis saw the RJ person who solo-ed a small part at the esplanade concert. So his solo was " Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.." And well, my sister dared me to go foward to him(in island) and say " Nice Chestnuts!". Erhum, i didn't do it. Obviously, if you think about it...

Next event thingy, erm. NYPSCO Org Comm Dinner. Quite a funny affair. Not alot came cos of last minute stuff. Anyhow, it was still fun. Food was good. John Tucker Must Die is also quite entertaining. Typical Bimbotic show for the event!

Other small stuff would be like going out with Sister to watch National Treasure. Catching up with Dwi. Cooking dinner on Sunday! Beautiful..

Starters: French Onion Soup
Main Course: Pasta with Mushroom Cream Sauce
Side: Teryaki Chicken ( Supposedly)
Dessert: Panna Cotta topped with a slice of straberry and chocolate truffle sauce. YUM!


Ah well. Tommorow would be TRYING to finish Sophie's World. Swimming. Baking Bread Pudding with Vallina Sauce. and...dinner with Dad's friends again.

Merry Christmas 2007!

Right. Im blogging for yesterday. xD

Well well. Swam in the morning till a bunch of kids and some caucasians came.

Then, went to a shopping mall. Met up with Gerard and Zhan Hui at coffeebean where me and Ah hui sat for an hour? Him reading Deathly Hallows and me, Sophie's World.=P.

Gerard went and do some errands. HEH. Then, met up again and then, walked around there. Page One was quite a bother as most of their books are wrapped. Dinner ended at some restaurant where they had this All-you-can-eat salad bar if you paid $11.30.

So guess who ate it? Hahaha. Not bad lah. They had fruits too.

Home by MRT it was!

Friday: Hmm. What did i do..Skip.

Saturday: Bought stuff to make Xmas cards. Stayed home to make them. Sister friends came over at 11pm. Rushed to bake bread pudding at around 10. Hmm. Rushed job but i think i did rather well.

Sunday: Swam in the morning along with Sis. Lazed around the pool..Darn nice okay. Its the first time in a long time where after swimming laps, i just talked to my sister about crap. The Sun, the water. Wow!

Then, went out to Phoon Huat! That place is AMAZING! Walked around a while but I did not get anything. We did pass another baking store which sold only utensils. Everything in there looked relatively clean BUT expensive.

After which, we took the bus to Wheelock where we had lunch at around 4? hahahaha. Cedele is quite an ex place budden the bill was on my parents so..we get to eat! Their grilled vegetable riscotti was veryvery DELICIOUS! Grilled brinjal, onion, pumpkin side with lettuce and the purple lettuce thingy drizzled with olive oil. The riscotti was good partially cos the it was literally covered with tomato sauce.

Went to borders to look at books to buy. Although the books bought on Monday was nothing i wanted to buy on Sunday. Made our way to Esplanade to watch Raffles Choir. Met up with Sister's 2 other friends. Ate at Lau Pat Sat. Their stingray wasn't very good though.

Was bloated but still settled for supper at KAP. Talked a whole lot with them. They seem very very very nice. Although, i hear they are the nicer bunch of ACSI so apparently, not all Acsians are like them. Pity huh. Macflurry ain't that nice no more.

Reached home at 12. Read Sophie's World and fell asleep.

Monday: Went to Borders. Got "The Elephant Vanishes" and the Nobel Lit Prize book and a James Brown CD. Deciced that i spent enough today and anyway, was really tired, so i went home instead of the intended plan to buy down Phoon Huat.xD.

Today was running day but it rained. :(. The whole schedule for running is messed up! Have to run tommorow morning.

I hate running in the morning.

And Oreo Cheesecake coming up tommorow!

Thurs should be strawberry tart. and if get more adventerous, Panna Cotta coated with dark chocolate ganche. Mmmm!!

today was the usual boring day.

Finished My Sister's Keeper. Amazing ending. I would think if i changed my position when i read the book i would have teared. Sitting with you legs up on the table isn't much of an emotional position is it?

Well, what was new today was runnning at around 3 plus cos the rain stopped and the weather was already good. Didn't want to take the chance.

It has been all fun helping Gerard. He is very very very funny.

Anyhow, Day 1 of Camp:

I remembered getting pissed that day and decided to come late. Well, a few minutes late but nothing much. Sat and briefed the facilitators about the camp but i know something else was running through my mind. Wasn't in camp mode yet!

Games were okay. Clement came and he sure helped a whole lot. His absolutely fluent in crowd control. Anyway, there was this certain boy called Andre. Well, shouldn't say anything about him but on Day 1, oh yes he was obssessed with Zhi Kan.

Brought them to the Giant Steps to realise that i yet to do my Trivia. Did a messed up one in the Dance Room. It was like when 1 facilitators walks in I would ask whats your fav food? greatest fear etc. Then they will give me this warped look like 'HUH?!'.

Anyhow, finished it just before Relays ended. Couldn't really remember lunch. What followed was the Trivia and then sectionals where we just kicked back and relaxed cos it rained and someone couldn't bring something and then blahblah. Joined Jessica and Limqing in their practice in the Hall. The 02's were there at first and we played monkey with this beach ball till Hwa Jie burst it and i kept laughing. The 02's then went to dance room to watch movies on my Laptop.

Stayed with Jessica and Limqing while they practiced. Its just fun looking at them shredding the erhu. Yanyu came along. Finally! Then it was more of laughter after that. Plodded back to danceroom after sectionals and settled bathing. Had a good time telling people not to run in a animated manner.

Dinner. Then Talent Time. Gave instructions and then took a back seat and relaxed. The bunch of campers are really enthusiastic this year. Hmm. If im not wrong reflections followed and we had a meeting.

Meeting over. Bathed in the erhum bathroom cos ours had a cockroach fest. EEW. Really disgusting lah. Watched 'Secrets' halfway which turned out to be not a bad show! But was too tired and just knocked off.



Will not be linking anyone yet. Sorry for disappointment.

okay, i think i should do my part on blogging about the camp right? just for entertainment purposes. BUT first today was GLUTTON DAY!

Enchanted was in the morning which was obviously followed with the yellow, sweet snack. I ate ALOT. And Enchanted was simply simply fantabulous.

THEN, we walked and walked and walked then decided to go to NYDC at Heeren. Three amigos it was for me! Its just this baked rice order which has ALOT of meat in it. Oooh.

Then we went to Botanics and walked from one end to the other. It rained in between and we got soaked lah. Killed time at Island Creamery and that was the first time Jian Hong didn't like an icec-ream.

Talked about weird stuff. Rain power decreased then made our way to Holland Village which was an OBVIOUS disappointment to our Orchard Road friends. HAIYO. Ended up in the wrong Crystal Jade Restaurant. La mian was okay lah. Noodles isn't really me.

Starbucks followed after. Then, went home by bus where i danced as i walked home. I blame the Zen Micro.

Oh kay. Lets follow Lim Qing's style.

Pre-Camp:
Lets see what i can remember lah. I know I woke up with a really bad mood which lasted through the day. Reach school a little early. Fast foward lah. The Icebreakers were okay lah. Joined a little but still, quite fed up. Then, it was the meeting which ate into my lunch. Rushed to Macritche to meet my teacher and Owen. Carried fertilizers and pots to school. Ate at Mos at Junction 8. Home it was.

Sorry man. Precamp ain't that juicy. Okay. Maybe a little more.

I know i joined, Xin Tian's? which i was absolutely positively HORRIBLE in the game of concentration and ended up doing the chicken dance. Then ran a little here and there to play Whacko. It was funny. And i remember falling on my butt once.

Day 1..details tommorow..

Oh yes. Strawberry tarts on Sunday! First time i tried it so it was not bad lah.

The crust was kinda thick, the custard a little bit too watery and but the glaze was perfect.

Crust was just because beacause. The first time mah. So still dunno the thickness.

Then, the custard also. The recipe put heat till boil which was crap and then, the mixture of yolks, sugar and vallina extract soon solidify. Saved it by removing it from heat and adding milk. Could have been better though.

Glaze was nice..execept that it was the first time i seen the effect of cornstarch.

Anyway, what made the 6 tarts beautiful were the deco.

Back from camp! It was quite an exhasting one. 4 hours of sleep per day isn't exactly the usual holiday sleeping hours and sleeping at 12am during camp days is a crime. Didn't get pictures with my camera cos i couldn't be bothered taking it out.=P

Then children were really fun! Too much to speak about but they were really awesome. Having fun with the facilitators was not bad la. Didn't do much of that cos i was mostly running about but finally on the third night, had a really funny drinking game with them. Everybody was bloated with water and when the game ended, rushing to the toilet and the things we say during the game was damn hilarious. Truth or dare was also quite fun although we omitted the truth part on 'relationship'. The worst dare i would think was making Lim yang drink the bottom of the milo tumbler which was powdery+chilli from the chicken rice+chicken rice+chicken skin. It smelled sweet and sour and chicken-y at the same time.

Cannot believe that i had been anticipating this for year and it just ends like that. Sad? Nope but i feel a little funny cos it just passes so quickly.

Ah well, from now, it would be more reading and reading and reading and excercising. I definitely got fat during the camp.

Thats the link I think. Won't talk much. Gotta wake at 6 tommorow unlike you all lazy bums!

More photos are with me. Husband and her other 'not that nice' photos are not posted to have a little privacy. Sorry

All in all, today was the fullest best day throughout the holidays and probably the year too.

well, today is not a bad week is it?

Time well spent on reading. Mark Haddon's second book is quite good buT i think it is quite unsuitable for my age. Sexual references aplenty.

Fun started on Thurs. Got to go out with Gerard, Zhan Hui and Glen Ang. Ate subway for lunch which had been a long time since i ate it. KK was really scary but fun in a weird way if you think about it now. Really, the woman's tower freaked me out! Everything done there must be really thick skin. Anyway, didn't get the thing we wanted.

Long ride to Terminal 3. Wow, Gerard was absolutely, positively CORRECT! All the people with superr alot of time are at Terminal 3. The coolest thing there, however, is CANDY EMPIRE! Didn't buy anything though. Shouldn't indulge so fast huh.

Went to Orchard. Salmon and mushroom bake rice is so-so but chicken would have been better. Ate earthquake which finished AMAZINGLY fast. Zoop zoop and GONE! Tried shopping but nothing good sooo it someway, plodded home

Friday:
So far, it is the meeting where we did most of the things continuously, back to back. Games were really fun! And there is yet a new couple in the secondary 1's! AIYO! That makes it 2..hahaha. Its going to be funny!

Its a pity that short distances and long distances are different in the techniques of running so, relay, on my part was horrible. BOOHOO.

Then, its to the dance room. Wow, it is nice to go back there! Had to leave early though because school was closing.

But to sum the whole friday off, the best was dinner! as Dinner had BRINJALS!
