have been baking quite a bit lately due to occasions, birthday n farewell parties.
hmm..will share the photos the next time.
now i need to go n think of what to bake.

interesting blog

apologies to my loyal readers.
i was unwell for a while thus no updates.
i'm a bit better now but might throw up any time again.
anyway... just wanna share an interesting blog i found.
is really out..really out of what i will blog abt. hehe
*drum rolling*
The site i wanted to share is a site that review Japanese snacks!!
keke..

is an interesting read cos some of the things are things i don't get to buy to taste.
some are so cute and some has interesting taste.
anyway enjoy while i shall do other readings.

wow

oooh wow..i havent update for a while and is already yr2010. hehe..
a few things happened:

• i'd finished my thesis and got my rightful title. so glad i can finally graduate. finally man.just that i don't know which graduation ceremony i can attend to. crap..
  

• had my last 'single' bday and CNY. ya have to give ang baos next yr or so..dunno how it works.some said 1st yr don't have to give, some said we have to.so i suppose is depending on our financial ability. wahah...i manage to catch up with a number of relatives and some are excited as they will be getting 1 more ang bao from me. great..i feel like auntie now. damn!
  

• have been preparing for the upcoming wedding and still going on at a slower pace now.somethings don't always go as smoothly as it suppose to be and we still have things to settle...minor and major ones. hehe.. shd be fine i hope.photos are taken n still need A LOT of editing. i'm picky..what to do.we paid for it!!! customers are always right. HAHAAH ok..joking.
  

• looking for job now...searching and applying. i hate to write cover letters. argghhh...no news yet..sigh..
  

• addicted to products related to lips such as lip glosses, lip balms and lip treatments. maybe due to the weather. it is becoming dry and cold again.i am fussy abt lip balms..i don't like pots where u hv to stick ur finger to take the balm out n apply onto your lips..eeek..i find it.. a bit not clean.cos imagine if i forget to clean my fingers n dip it inside then 2 things will happen: (1) i will be contaminating the rest of the pot. what a waste. (2) and applying it on the lips with unwashed fingers...gross! i prefer those which i can apply directly BUT i don't like sticks . hehe i like those that are like gloss. wahah.. hard to please rite? kekek.. maybe i've OCD? hmm..but..even if i don't like stick type of lip balm, i shd give it another try this autumn n winter.

• and due to this addiction, i get to like reading cosmetic or beauty products reviews and blogs. some are so interesting. i found a site where this girl who only do lip balms reviews. interestingly she is colour blind(just found out today). you can google her using the word: balmaholic.
  

• it is raining alot lately and i hate rainy days. i hate getting wet thats why i hardly go out thus no photos update. also no baking too. i did bake BUT cos i havent been baking for almost 1 mth, i just forget how my oven works so they are not pretty enough. really not pretty cos some were burnt. heeh.

• havent been sleeping well lately though. beats me. either jet-lag or just cant sleep.

alight back to job hunting.
have a great wkend!

Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas everyone!
Hope you had a good one.
I had enjoy my xmas. It was not planned but it turned out good.
The fun started on xmas eve and the baking adventure started on the 22Dec.

On the 22dec, i'd made raspberry cupcakes with raspberry cream cheese topping + white choc as deco. It turned out not too bad. Here's a pix of it.



Then we were invited to Zinesh and Robyn's place for xmas dinner.
Nice...got to hear lots of gossips and exchange of information.so fun. HAHA
ya can see i'm deprived of them.
anyway..i'd baked some cream puffs over for them
din turn out to be really sucessful cos of the filling. It was dripping all over but at least everyone ate all. hehe..
Shd hv brought ice cream so ppl can eat with them.
Anyway here are a pix of the puffs.
These puff are modified with choc cookies on top of them...not too bad.




And my xmas present from Adrene was a box of cookiemon cookies. YUM
my fav cookies. whaah...



Nice wrapping..and the inside..ta-da!




The fun continues on xmas day.
Went over to adrene's place to try out her new massage chair. OMG..shiokness..
I baked something over again. hehehe..some vanilla cupcakes with raspberry cream cheese frosting.



Then headed for Kenneth and Lynn's place to have dinner with them
Dinner is simple but nice.
Xmas ended with a game on Wii Sport Resort.
Fun. i think wii games are fun when u play with a group of friends.
We tried some games as it is getting late.

Boxing day... wanted to go to the sale but didnt make in time as we went to watch the movie Sherlock Holmes. hmmm...not too bad. Need to stay focus due to the dialogues and language used. V refined.
had a difficult time to find somewhere for dinner as most places are closed.
managed to find some asian resturants and then head to Kenneth's place to talk.
We were watching some tv program on travel/nature and it triggered Kenneth to suggest to go Mt Tamborine the next day to have a walk there.
And so..we went home early to rest as we are hitting the roads at 7am the next day.

It was raining on a Sunday morning at 650am..it is so nice to sleep ...but i've to pull myself up
anywa..we went over to meet kenneth and drove up to mt tamborine.
It is worth it even though is raining.
when we reached there not many shops are open.
only 1 cafe was open n we had breakfast there.
it was not too bad. quite nice.
had an interesting drink: orange mint juice.
not too bad but kei cant take the sourness.

next we went to find the cheese factory but was not opened yet so we decide to try our luck on the ice cream shop that sells the award winning choc ice cream.
it is nice...really thick n yet not too sweet. Yummm..

After having ice cream, we explored around the town and came across a botanic garden.
it is wet but is still nice.
more n more ppl came after we went ard the garden.
had some photos of the flowers. check them out at my photo site (will be post soon).

wanted to go for the skywalk but we din cos it is too expensive!!!
so we head to another suburb, Inala for veitnamese lunch.
not too bad. tried a drink that lynn introduced us to. Nice..
wahha
food is ma ma desu.

After lunch we decided to head back to rest.
Ended that we played Wii sports resort again. heheeh..
we tried other games.
So fun..whaahhaha...nearly didnt want to have dinner cos too fun. whahha
Had dinner at this korean place..food is nice. hehehe..
ah....what a fun day. I'm v happy thanks to everyone for the day.


and i just get to know we are invited for a new year eve dinner..
i hope it stays this way until the end of the year as i was having a lot of shit things for the past few weeks.

Shit..all the good food and rest during xmas had made me fat.
Time to burn them off if not when CNY comes i'll put on more!! damn it!!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable xmas.
Not sure if this will be the last post of the year but just in case:
wish everyone a Happy new year!!
