thanks for the kind comments, i’m fine really! :D

today was spent with these dear adorable girls from swimming!

we baked blueberry muffins with burnt tops because we were too engrossed with chatting over

a lunch of cold noodles with breaded scallops, honey chicken wings, pizza dumplings, fish fingers and eggs.

then we did craft with paper punches~ 

i’m such an overaged kid!

Tried Ice Monster with YN last Sunday after our project meeting.

This is my Red beans + yam milk ice. Imagine my excitement when i see this on the menu! I love red beans and yam, and this dessert certainly didn’t disappoint with red beans of just the right sweet ness and mashy yam to compliment it, not forgetting the milky ice. For $3.50, I feel that it is worth it as they use really quality ingredients.

YN got the Mango Sherbet with really sweet and juicy mango bits. It tastes wholely of mango and no artificial flavourings! $4.50 for fresh mangos. :)

Do give it a try for a refreshing treat!

Been sometime since I’ve had such a relaxing and fun-filled weekend. (:

Let the pictures do the talking!

—————-

On Thursday night, i had my first cedele sandwich!

Finally!!! It’s smoked salmon on wholemeal sunflower bread. This is really worth the wait~ I’ve never eaten bread so well toasted before(unless it’s toasted by me whahhaa~) I love the yoghurt dressing they put in, it’s refreshing and yumyum~

——————

Friday is well spent - CCN day playing with fishes with the APEL mates~

Had supper at Bedok Food Corner.. yummy carrot cake and satay!

——————–

Saturday is crazy.

We had the usual breakfast at morning market,
played UNO, old maid, went mad and started talking gibberish,
camwhoring for no reason,
viwawa-ed while baking muffins,
ran for miles,
ate dinner and slacked like mad.

———————-

The first batch of muffins were burnt with hard cookie like tops all because of viwawa.. :/ Compare it with the second batch!

This is our muffins! :D

Double Chocolate yoghurt muffins.. it’s moist and soft and delicious. Recipe is from Zu’s Kitchen!

Ending off with random silly fillers

i look so tired in the pictures! I was really tired actually. Ahaha~

Two days ago, I was at Ochacha to for Breadpig’s first food gathering! (: It was at Ochacha, a small cafe specializing in matcha~

Met up with Zhengning first~

Chips were present on the table when we arrive, it tasted like pringles with seaweed on it. ;p

We had a tasting of matcha first.

Matcha rocks is basically chilled sweetened matcha. Matcha tastes totally different from Jasmine green tea. It reminds me of wheatgrass~ i prefer it much more than Jasmine green tea!

Ochacha rocks is matcha with milk. I prefer the former.

Azuki Freezie (matcha with japanese red beans ice blended) is the absolute love!!!!!! I really really love it to bits. I think everyone at my table knows that. Hee~ I’ll definitely go back for more.. if only it’s not so expensive.. :/ but it’s worth it!!!

Tried the Tomato soup. Tt was tangy and stirs up the appettite. Many thought the Mushroom soup was a tad too salty, but i found it nice. Tt was rough and has lots of mushroom bits in it.. but then it might be because i only had a few mouthful and not the entire bowl.

Next up was the main dishes! Sakura Egg Sandwich was simple but really yummy. (: Everything came together nicely, the bread was crusty at the sides but soft in the middle, the sakura denbu enhanced the taste of the egg.

This is the Wasabi Tuna Sandwich which i feel paled in comperison to the others. Somehow it feels that something’s lacking..

Lastly we had the Furikake Salmon Sandwich which i enjoyed too. The colours are so pretty! The furikake(bits of seaweed) gave a wonderful touch to the smoked salmon, making the entire combination was delicious. (:

FINALLY! The moment I’ve been waitinf for… DESSERTS!

First up is the Matcha Financier that looked like mini toasts~ It is actually a french cake that is shaped like a gold bar. The cake is really dense and nice to chew on, it tastes really cute and eggy~ kind of like a unique cross between cake and kueh.

Next is my favourite! Matcha Azuki! I love azuki beans! The azuki totally spiced up the cake, it was yum yum and the colours are pretty too. It’s a matchmake in heaven~

Matcha cotton is a fluffy soft spongy cake with fresh cream inside. They should make a azuki version!! Aha~ anyway it was really soft like cloud and the cream’s rich too.

We also had the Matcha Panna Cotta which I didn’t like.. but but but some says it tasted heavenly! I guess panna cotta just doesn’t appeal to my tastebuds. The texture is REALLY creamy but not like fresh cream.. just.. weird.

Lastly, we ended off the meal with a warm Ochacha Silk, which is matcha with soymilk. It is mildly sweentened and tasted really healthy..

I would like to thank BREADPIG! for hosting this event~ It was a really unique experience. Food really brings diffrent people together!

Aside from the food, the company was awesome. Zhengning, Estelle, Shuqing, Breadpig and everyone else. (: Miss Shopowner was really friendly and chatted alot with us too. :D

Here’s a group shot with my new friends!

Thank you to Zhengning for the photos! (:

Go to BREAD PIG’s site for his entry and the links to other entries~

Back from orientation camp!

Almu is my group with really patient and friendly leaders. (: Up above is our handmade flag inspired by a windmill..

Had lots of activities with the more memorable ones bring the really awesome night walk at 2.30am in the morning and the human version of arcade football.

We had packed food for 2 meals and for the rest, I tried out food from all the various canteens.. affordable but nothing splendid… yet. Design school’s malay food, western and teh bing (made by uncle) are raved by many though. (:

I have to say that what made the camp most fruitful were the people. Every single person in my group has their distinct style and are really interesting and fun to be with.

SHIJIE THE NIGHT CYCLIST!!!!!!!!!!

Danicia the really friendly girl.

SM the da bian who calls me tofu.

Lorraine the easily amused girl with highlighted extensions.

Jing guo the guy who shrugs and not talk.

Sufiyan the yo-yo guy~

Jessie the fashion designer with curls.

Joyce the drama queen!

Leon the guy who knows how to look good.

Thomas the tall, tanned one.

Yan Jun the business style.

Damien the good speaker.

Terrance the Jay Chou (haha!).

Arun the tanned girl who knows alot about hair.

Xiang Yu the pretty girl.

Sheena the one with thick long and neat fringe who likes to wear black.

Not forgetting our lovely GLs – Gary, Kaysee, LL and PY.

I missed out some because they were absent and i don’t know how to spell their names..

I’m really glad to know all of you. (:

I love Sundays because i get my weekly dose of sunshine and most importantly- good company! (:

Did towing with the gang today, twohand chin tow, extended chin tow, ‘armpit’ tow(haha!), tow-2-at-1-go tow, handinhand tow.. makes me miss friday nights so much..

/ I love the natural ‘blush’ i get after swimming under the sun! :

Anyway, felt like baking a cake today~ This is my first cake attempt which involves beating eggwhites. I’ve been wanting to try it for the longest time, but many people’s failed attempts at eggwhite whisking shoo-ed me from doing so..

I brought the cake to granny’s house and everyone likes it. (: IUnlike the american cheesecake which is dense and cheesey, this one’s lighter and fluffier. But but but.. my cake’s top is really ugly! It’s rough and unevenly browned.. ): I wonder why? Is it the oven’s fault? (the healting element refused to turn red again)

Look at the texture! It’s so smooth! Soft with a melt-in-your-mouth feel.

The recipe!

Jul~~~~~ nice catching up session yesterday~~

3 pc chicken strips meal.

2 pc chicken meal.

That’s 1$ difference.. :S Haha took bloody long to finish my meal cos I’ve been feeling sick after meals recently.. z.. but had a good chat over food as usual~ :D:D:D

After which me and jul went to Candy Empire and she bought jellybeans just because it came from Ireland. It has more than a dozen different colours and it’s fun guessing what flavour you got, though it gets abit tricky as they all taste the same. :x

In the candy shop..
her: *points at some cherry shaped gummies* Eh.. eww…
me: looks like me meh? *misheard eww as you*

Crazy picture from our mini camwhore session. Haha~

We sat around the airport and talked.. i was telling her about my lunch in which i consumed naans from Tampines Mall.. and she thought I ate nuns..

Meanwhile.. we ate bars for supper..

A decent picture to end off.. sorry for blurriness..

Hehe it was a great catch up session~ to ahs we shall return one day :p for all the wrong reasons.

Theme for the day: schoolgirl!

Met up for dinner at the usual place.. MOS burger!

Introducing the new Red Bean rice flake shake..

The creamy milk base tasted like melted vanilla ice cream..
The rice flakes were crispy and light, complementing the whole mix of sweetness.
The red bean paste was of mild sweetness,the type where you can still make out the shape of the beans, perfect.
The dangos were chewy and soft,and had a very homely taste which gets better as you chew..
All topped with a sprinkle of toasted soybean powder which reminded me of horlicks.
Scoop a little of the milk base, top it with a rice flake and some red bean paste and a bite of dango.. and I’m in heaven!
This may not apply to you though.. since I’m such a big red bean lover.

This is CM’s cranberry rice flake shake..

Cranberrys on a bed of yoghurt pudding and rice flakes, completed with a milky base.. Hmm~ gets addictive!

Window shopped around until my legs ached like jelly.. haha~

All the best everyone.

eoy was such an eyeopener!

If only i’ve watched more animes.. haha!
The extent some people went to just to bring out the best cosplay to fans really amaze me~ The costumes were so detailed and pretty that everyone looked like they jumped out from 3D games in the photos! Hee.

Went there as a humble visitor in an outfit thrown together 1 hour before i left home. How impromptu. :x

Yay! Greeted by a pretty cheergirl upon arriving~

More cheergirls!

Fake cheergirl! Hehe~

Dollfies are so pretty!!! <3<3<3

L’arc~en~ciel?

Pardon my dumb look~ Don’t know the character he’s cosplaying as, but he looks so cool!

Yay one of my favourite cosplayer big guy! OsUU~!

Cardcaptor sakuRA! My favourite anime character in primary school. Anyway doesn’t the skirt look strangly familiar?

Too much pictures taken on that day~ hee just posting those.
Hunt for EOY pictures on Sgcafe~ There’s like millions of them there – bleach, naruto, ouran high school blah blah.. there’s even spongebob and gundam! Hee~ awesome.

——-

Thanks CM for inviting me to the event, your team’s performance simply blew me away~ Coordinated dance steps perfected to the seconds.. think it wow-ed many people too!

Pity I did not take pictures with the pretty lolita girls~

10 December 2007, the day which i want to record down and never forget!

Finally had the chance to meet up with Zhengning, best online friend I’ve ever had~ now we’re not only online friends anymore ye~ (:
This girl, coupled with her sweet voice, is really really cute, much more than how she is online(which is alot already)!

Zhengning ‘toured’ me around her house and we had some small girltalk as she shared some things we’ve talked about online hee~
Glad both of us were not as shy as we have expected! Hee~ hope to do more things together in the future and stay in contact, as well as to share our problems :D

Made sushi! Did some research in the morning so that we can zoom out fast to get the ingredients and start working on the sushis!

The tamagoyaki was challenging to make~ we cheated with our hands and 2 spoons. Doesn’t matter, it was fun and it turned out fine!

Tried out the cylindrical molds from Daiso, the rice turned out so cute, just like the wheels of a car..

.. and i instantly did something stupid. Haha!

And these were our creations! Not bad for a 1st and 2nd timer? Hehee~

Futomaki!~ Roll roll~

Nigiri!~

Uramaki! The one with the rice on the outside, coated with sesame seeds!

Some camwhoring while feasting on the leftovers~

Us and our sushis!

Happy Angry Sad Very Happy! LOL.

Haha Zhengning is extremely cute here!

Packed our matching bentos!

Thanks girl for the delightful company! Hope with more meetups we can be even more comfortable with each other, still feel that we’re abit polite? Hehe but first meetup, never expect things to turn out so well~ See you again soon! (:
