Randomly Weird

On a cold sunday evening, just woken up from a nap, with nothing to do and i refuse to study i realised holiday is over.. tomorrow week 11 starts in uni, and i've yet to study anything, the whole big plan of having a good study during the holidays all came down in flames the moment Fang approached me and tell me my plans for the holiday starting on Saturday. I'm not complaining that she told me the plans after all we did ask her to come up with plans for the holiday and i'm very very very very satisfied with all the fun we've had, we've captured sooo many moments during the holidays.. =) i haven't finish collecting the pictures yet so i will only post it up later on.

While attempting tutorial questions this morning, i've also realised that i have only less than 30 days to my exam and i've not started studying yet. I want to, I need to, I should study but .. sigh.. i promise i'll start tomorrow :P

This is just one of those random moments where i don't really know what i'm blogging about.

ok i suddenly have lost what i'm going to say... i'd be back later

Recap Recap

Yesterday.. without any further changes in plans, we've made it to the royal melbourne show.. i spent tonnes of money there and now i'm officially broke.. sigh.. but no doubt that i had good fun.. touching farm animals, playing with the fun fair games.. it was all cool.. and met new friends.. which is all worth it.. i had alot of fun =)

After Royal Melb Show, Yunn decided that she wanted to had a good cry from watching drama, so we came home settled down, had hot shower because we were under the rain , had supper, and then started watching "1 Litres of Tears". I've previously wacthed it before, but as usual i don't mind watching my dramas for the second time, so we drama-ed till morning around 2 something and i finally gave in and went to bed already, then Yunn decided that she wanted to watch one more episode before she goes to bed... so i went to sleep first..hehehe

Today, i woke up around 11am and was just lazing around, prepared lunch while Yunn was still in bed, i came up with something new again today..hehe i baked pork ranches with black pepper sauce and mushrooms. It was all good as we had it with toast.. YUMMM but unfortunately when lunch was ready, we were all too busy to dig in and i didn't manage to take a photo of it..

Fang joined us for lunch after her doctor's appointment ( OMG, her leg.. sigh... it's green) but she said it was better today than yesterday, after lunch we continued to finish the drama, so we all had our share of tears falling today... but it was all good.. hehe

then when sara came over we went grocery shopping, had dinner and desert.. lolz

I baked the cheese and potato mushrooms again, but it's better this time around because it's more moist and the cheese browned properly, the cheese was stringy when i scooped it out.. YUMMMM..

following it was Desert which was spontaneous when i flipped the recipe book and found honey cup cakes.. i wanted to make nice icing like the last time, but i ended up not getting any, the cream didn't turn up.. :( HOWEVER, everybody said it was nice, so no complains.. we fed ourselves well today..hehehe

I managed to take a picture of dinner tonite.. here you go

If you've been keeping up with my blog, you would've noticed the difference between this version of Baked cheese and potato mushrooms.. =)

Drooling yet???? :P

YUMMMY~~

Dine with me once more =)

I'm sick and tired of being Sick and TIRED

i am a person who is selfishly ridiculous and incredibly intolerant of things that goes around me.
i dont' like last minute changes, i don't like accidents i don't like change of plans...

i know it gets out of control and out of hand, but i don't like last minute change of plans and last minute confirmation.. i dont' run on a bootie call, i dont run on a stand by .. i'm ME..

and when things are obviously pissing me off, don't and i REPEAT.. DON'T ask me to CHILL.. i'm chilling sitting in front of the damn computer and i'm typing , i'm trying to watch a drama to be distracted for being sick and tired.. sick and tired of pissing myself off, sick and tired of being angry, sick and tired of just waiting, sick and tired of being patient....

like i've mentioned, i believe i'm selfishly ridiculous and incredibly intolerant,, but i tried.. I REPEAT, i TRIED.. and i put on a smile, i walk by things i can't stand , i'm happy all the time.. and i believe i've tried hard enough to deceive people at times but do not ever take me for granted..

at times like this .. i want to turn back time..

1. NO ACCIDENTS
2. NO GETTING SICK
3. NO CHANGE OF PLANS BY HOOK OR BY CROOK

i shall emphasize again i'm being very selfish and ridiculous now, so don't come and voice your opinion when i'm already so angry becuase you wouldn't want to .

Secondly, i dont like to be reminded that i dont have someone with me now , i dont like to be reminded how i am alone now, i don't like to be compared. it is already bad enough that i'm feeling alone and if you come and rub it in and compare that i have no one to love and no one that loves me like someone loves you. let me tell you something, i experience love everyday, i dont' need you to tell me what love is.. because i see it in front of me everyday..
IF you seek my advice and you happen not to like it.. walk away or better still don't ask for one..
but never ever remind me that i'm alone because I KNOW IT EVERY SECOND OF EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR "CONSIDERATION"

* i'm trying to scream but i can't*
*stressed*
* SICK AND TIRED*

Are you willing to Dine with me tonight again??~ =)

Hello.... hehehe.. mid term break holidays have started.. so just to welcome it.. i've decided to ask Nick and Fang over for dinner, since Shu yunn is busy rushing for assignment so ..she would have to wait another time for "Dining with me!"

Tonight's Menu.. Bake Chicken.. ( i just randomly remembered what my cousin sis cooked when i drop by at her place so i decided to copy what she did even though i didn't know how she did those.. so .. to come up with something similar :P

Step 1: Marinate Chicken with BBQ sauce, italian herbs, Cummin seeds ( random), olive oil, salt pepper oh and i put in a little bit of honey wine.. :P all the ingredients was randomly selected while marinating :P

While the oven is being preheated...

Step 2: The vegetables are sliced to be boiled =) oh and i randomly selected the potato which was sitting in my cupboard for a few days :P

.... took a break while baking the chicken cause it took about an hour ...

Step 3: then when the chicken is almost ready, heated the readily bought sauce in the microwave, and toasted the bread...

As you could see.. i layed slices on tomatoes on top...

On the other hand, i was preparing the vegetables =)

The picture below is after the chicken is done and my brother just WANTED to be in the picture..

Step 4: Decorate your food =)

After me having fun with decorating the food... Dinner is SERVED!~

TADA!!~~~Have fun SAVOURING online :P hehhee

It feels good after a good cry~

Today i've gotten a new set of drama "Why Why Love" from a friend. Thanks to him, i got addicted to it very fast. I started watching immediately after i came back. I didn't even bother about what needs to be done tomorrow, i just sat at the same spot and kept on watching the drama till i finish.. True enough as it got interesting, i became impatient for it to finish.

So i skipped a little bit here and there and i did finish the whole drama..Towards the end of it i cried and cried and cried.. a very touching ending.

Now at this very moment, i'm sitting here blogging with a pair of swollen eyes after the crying session, feeling very tired but yet wanted to post something for today. It feels good after a good cry as i feel like i've just released tonnes of frustrations from inside.

Overall i like the show, but i kept questioning why Mike He has to be the main actor, I like the other one better. Well, in dramas, i tend to pay attention to the other guy who always give and never receive.. i feel awfully sad for him .. as this type of character would always end up alone in the end.. grrrr~~~ why~~~~

Anyhow.. after this crying session! Feels damn good... i think i would sleep very soundly tonight..hehehe ( as if i dont' every other night) lolz...

Good night everybody..

Love always

Feeling Random tonight~

I've had a great day, considered productive. Went for a movie "Hairspray" in the evening, had dnner with birthday girl (shu yunn)... all was good..

It's 1030pm now and something suddenly hit me. I've realised something.. let me tell you guys a story....

Many years ago, a naive girl never thought of filling her heart with admiration towards someone special, she was overall contented with her life even though she was one of the least popular in class. She had never gotten any attention from anybody but she had always have good friends around her. She remembers that those days that the only reason that she gets attention was because her close friend was one of the most popular girl in the entire grade.

Her life remains intact until one day.. someone walked into her life without her knowing. She hardly pays attention to him except for the fact that he looks weird in short pants ( because he was too tall for his age).

She continued her daily life until one day when she was busy chatting away during a basketball game when he hit her head with the ball by accident. Her tears were flowing like water as the result of the hit on the head. She then remembers that his first words to her was "sorry". While she was too busy feeling her pain. She accepts the apology but never again she would forget this incident.

Days passed, she couldn't help but noticing him playing basketball. He was the admiration of all girls.. she was just one of them that he wouldn't look at twice.

One day during math class, her group of friends couldnt' understand the topic and decided to ask him, as he was just sitting right behind her. He kept on explaining and the girls kept on not understanding.. while she got bugged by her friends to speak to him, by chance he explained to her in very detail and make sures that she understands. Since then, being young kids in school, rumours starts going around that they are an item. Though the boy didn't seem like he cared as he was too busy being the popular one. The girl realised that she slowly can't help but noticing him. She remembers the short conversations they had, she was hoping for the possiblity he would look at her too..

While busy doing that, she hadn't notice that she had gotten unwanted attention in class. Not knowing the reason why girls were getting jealous even though she was not getting any sort of attention from him personally. She remembers that she was being badly bullied by those girls for a long time. No matter how hard she tries to forget and forgive them now, she finds it difficult.

She has done many silly things to catch his attention, but unfortunately she didn't get the attention. After primary school ended. She thought they would never meet again...

*months later*

Due to her falling sick, she only reported herself in high school a few days later. She saw him first when she was standing with her dad. In shock, not knowing that he was going to be in the same school, she hoped that he would not be in contact with her because she felt herself being embarassed enough previously.

Unfortunately, they were both in the same class. He was elected as the class monitor and she was being elected the head prefect of the afternoon session in school. They both were in communication again. He being as charming as he is, as usual, he became very popular again among his friends and her trying to keep her mind of remembering what she been through previously and yet can't help but noticing him.

Although she had gotten quite a few attention from the others, but she only looked his way and yet he was untouched. Though days passed and things remained the same she keeps her memories in her safe and sound...

A year later, her dad decided to move and the whole family left the suburb. She left and told him how she felt through all these years...

After having a crush on him for 4 years...They fell out of touch, out of contact.. lost in communication....

For years they've grown up to become the person they are today, they've met up a few times but nothing's changed except the fact that he knows how she felt for him previously. Thinking that everything moves on.. he led his own life and so did she....

Slowly when years passed, they've become good friends and he cared for her more than he did before. Every festive season he would visit her and she would do the same. They would take time to catch up with each other..

After high school, she dated somebody else, she fell in love all over again, she moved on...

After high school, he was his usual popular self being a very dashing young chap =)

Another year passed, she failed in her relationship being terribly heartbroken and he came along.. introducing his new girl to her first hand... she was initially dumbfounded but thinking that she did the same after high school, it was only natural for him to moved on...

Things seemed stagnant for years.. and the same ... except that they are both now close friends..

For almost 10 years since they've known each other, now they're both overseas studying... they suddenly got close.. they speak to each other almost every night online..

Prior to her 21st birthday, she received the first official gift from him, she suddenly remembered that this was all she was hoping for.. she was hoping for him to look at her, to care for her... she was very happy .. practically on cloud nine.

she felt that they've gotten even closer till she start to wonder whether she is finding the heartbeat that she once lost even the fact to her that he's already someone else's....

She sometimes find him confusing...

will there be an answer to all this ???

At the end of all this, there might be no answer to what had happened, what is going to happen but if given a chance, she would look at him once again .. because she knows that without having that experience and pain she went through, she wouldn't be the person who knows pain, she wouldn't be the person she is today...

She still wants to say thank you!

SMILES

Today was suppose to be an off day for me.. but i'm still sitting here in the library staring at the screen. I don't know what went wrong but i've overly spent time on the presentation. Either i've underestimated the work to be done or i've paid too much attention to the details. But what ever it is i've completed the work. Hopefully the presentation would be a success on Thursday.

No doubt i should be studying.. but ...lolz.. i still believe that i need a break after 2 hours of solid concentration. =) (excuses).

I realised that since i came to Melbourne, I would often get bored enough to take pictures of myself. I don't deny that i do enjoy it at times.. there are days that i do believe i take good pictures.. and the most of the time.. i look just bad in pictures.. lolz.. the disease of cam-whoring is here....

This picture.. taken by Fang while she was experimenting her new camera and i just had to pose something to disgust her..

There was one day when i was down, i wanted to find a picture to change in the msn display to express what i felt at that moment, i realised almost all of my pictures are filled with bright smiles, and the rest of them.. stupid faces like the one above. lolz.. i end up feeling more depressed..

( i really don' t know why i don' t have pictures that are slightly less smile-ly)....

Just plain being bored on the train, i could come up with funny pictures like this.. i sometimes wonder whether do i brighten someone's day by just smiling.. However i do believe that happiness is shown in a picture when you smile sincerely from the heart and if you are truely happy, others will feel it too by looking at you smile.SO... in conclusion.. smile everyday to make someone happy every single day =) it is the best cure to everything in the world..

I smile for you..

Love always

Happy Birthday Shu Yunn!

A recap of the weekend

The weekends passed, i am so glad that i've completed my internal assessments for the semester and now all i had to do is to focus on my finals.

After two tests and one assignment due last week, i figured why not have some fun!~ And obviously i did anything and everything but studying this weekend :P

Friday, was supposed to be an off day for me, but unfortunately, the A.F.A test was in the evening, so that day i did nothing but preparing for that test. GOSH!~ the suspense for that test was terrible. Everybody around me was studying for this test. Even though it is a Multiple Choice Question test, EACH OF THE QUESTION contributed to 1 Mark in the final...so it's pretty scary and from the pass semesters, it has gotten pretty low passing rates.

Overall, that subject is not too bad comparing to Company Reporting. The only reason why that everybody is afraid of messing this subject is, ( i truely believe) the face to face confrontation with the tutor and the lecturer. The well known, David Tam and Dr. Dot for this subject has been nothing but truely dedicated in making sure this subject comes accross clear and thorough.

As this subject requires students to be on their toes all the time, they just decided to give hell to their students. I don't deny that in class i do get scared of my tutor. His expectations are so high that i don't know where the limit is. Sigh~

Well, the test is over, life moves on. :P

Then, it came saturday, I dated my dear friend :P FANG FANG~~ the whole day to get a gift for Shu Yunn which announces ( HER BIRTHDAY IS TMR!!~~) Aimlessly walking on the streets of Melbourne was rather tiring, and i believe we've gotten her an unforgettable gift and i'm glad we did it :P (hint hint~ coughs coughs) * DAMN COOL * lolz

Then later, dinner at night with my brother and Nick, had Japanese food. mmm... dinner was not much of a big deal.. It was a so-so dinner only and i don't think there would be a second visit to that restaurant ..lolz... After dinner, we dropped by at Sze's place to get the cake tray and box from her and ended up watching "A Walk to Remember" at her place before heading back home. Saturday was so packed that i came home and slept almost immediately.. knowing there was another early day next =)

Sunday... woke up in the morning.. decided to do a little bit of cleaning (not that it made a difference) but i managed to throw two bags of rubbish.. hahaha.. An appointment was made at 10 to bake a cake for dearie ShuYunn but Fang Fang overslept..lolz....

So i decided to start myself.. then along she came =) bringing me cream cheese for my cake filling....

The process of baking was alright (because it was a pre-mix cake, no biggie anyway) but the process of preparing it's filling was hillarious... I believe Fang Fang has not been so gentle before :P *laughs* We decided to use strawberries, peaches and kiwis for the cake, so we had to slice all of them thinly and make sure that they are all uniformed. HAHAHAHA~~~ because Fang Fang has not sliced fruits like this before, she ended up squishing a few flat :P *farnie*

but no doubt that she did a great job after telling her tons of times to be gentle ...lolz though she sweared she was not going to touch those fruits that day as she felt sick looking at them..lolz

While i was busy preparing the Cream Cheese filling for the cake, she was busy cutting the fruits.. we did manage to find time to snap some shots.. then we realised our cake mounted up and had a small peak..*swts*

We then decorated the cake after it cooled... i had to cut of the peak otherwise it would've looked like a mushroom cake...hahahaha.. and after shortly removing the peak.. it was swallowed by two cake monsters (Lern and Fang).. The decoration started as Fang couldn't help me because it was too fragile, she decided to cook lunch. She then went out to get some grocerries and came back with nothing but a can of luncheon meat. ( but she did made a simple but great meal) =) *thank you*

While she was busy cooking up a meal, i was busy putting almond slices at the side of the cake.. boy was it an experience.. hehe but all good fun...

Even though by mistake , the pictures of the process of baking the cake was deleted..

Here is the picture of the cake itself ...

My very first attempt of a birthday cake.. (thanks to all the help from Fang Fang)


... Proceeding to Sunday night's dinner... was Shu yunn celebrating her birthday in advance.. We had an awesome time getting a little tipsy by the wine and great korean food.. i will post those pictures up as soon as i get them =) ..

Flowers of 3rd September 2007

This year, i've never received so many flowers before for just a birthday and knowing i love and adore flowers, i've received 2 bouquets this year. A bouquet of 21 roses was given by my brother in the middle of the lecture. The sweetest contribution of him to me was to get me this bouquet of roses and baked me a birthday cake.

The flowers were just beautiful and now .. i guess i just have to find a vase for it to be displayed =)

For that moment in time, it felt that the world was filled with flower fragrances and colours and to top it up.. love everywhere... =) many thanks

Dine with Me Tonight~

I've been a little more adventorous lately in terms of experimenting new recipes and trying out different cooking. Loved my experiments so far. this picture you see here below is a picture of the cupcakes I baked together with Shuyunn and WeeFang a day before the MASS race. Well, it was so spontaneous that i bought the mixer and the ingredients the day itself when i decided to bake. In my opinion, even though it all went well, the presentation of the cupcakes could still be improved.=)


YUMMY Lemon Cupcakes :P
















Next.

This was one of my experiments, out of boredom and just for the sake of getting dinner ready, i just used whatever i had in the fridge because i was so lazy to just get out of the house to buy groceries that day. Realised i had some prawns lying around in the freezer and left over rice, so i got creative.

I think the content of it are, (from below) rice covered with leftover pasta sauce heated up in the microwave with washed sprouts at the side. While heating the rice up. I just simply used some garlic, salt and pepper to fry my prawns and thereafter mushroom and egg. Then despite of being lazy, i decorated my food as below :P Then, i out of the blue decided to put a slice of cheese on top of the sauce, while it was melting slowly on top of the *hot* sauce i then carefully laid the mushroom and egg beside the rice and the prawns above the sprouts. After all of that i realised it was too good to look at. A new creation!~

















Am i TEMPTING you yet???....


more to come.....

Next.

This was also one of the nites when i had dinner alone. My bro was out (somewhere..dont' even remember). Well, this dinner was alright (so-so). Introducing my not-so-successful bake portabello mushroom with tomatoes and my pan-fried salmon with arparagus and mac n' cheese
at the side. Personally, the dinner was too much. I end up not finishing the Mac n' Cheese.















i would still want to keep on experimenting these portobello mushrooms till i could get the cheese to brown properly :P

oh .. dont' mind the salmon, the garlic was too cooked till it turned black.. so ..overall i had dinner but not a really satisfying one..


The last dish to Dine-with-Me tonight is tonight's dinner =)


The very first attempt, a painful attempt ( cuz i accidentally touched the hot oven with my bare hands and i have two spots on each of my hands that is still stinging now) , a satisfying attempt, a very-proud-of-myself attempt (because i just saw in on one of the entertainement shows and decided to try it out).


*drum rolls*


Baked potatoes and mushroom with cheese!~














mmm~~~~

Comments on this dish are overall ok. Not too bad for first attempt.

So hopefully i will have more moods like this to cook so that i could tempt u guys online somemore.. :P

(because i still do have some recipes in mind to try out)

See you soon!~ Loads of love

Little Thought's Birthday!

Hello everyone. I know i've said many times that i am not the type of person who has a blog and keeps the blog updated. After many attempts the last time, it just proofs that (lolz) i JUST CAN'T maintain a blog. I've been hessitating to do this and decided why not try again. Hopefully i would maintain this little thoughts of mine updated...

The reason for this blog is that i realise i have random thoughts at random times and i just can't really find a person to throw my thoughts at :P so .. hopefully this blog allows me to store the little thoughts of mine safe and sound (without hurting anyone).

AHHH~~ and another good reason for this blog is because there were so much of "influences" of people around me having new blogs and new updates and keeping their little thoughts in their blogs so .. hehehe ( excuses.. oh well.. anyhow it is already here so ..we'll see how it goes)

Keep updated for the little thoughts of mine =)
