A long needed post.

Sorry for the long hiatus, AGAIN.

There is an addition to the family in Taylor's lakeside campus. Ducks and lots and lots of geese.


The art of using anything or anyone in this case as a canvas. Model in this picture is Jamine Joesph who was kind enough to allow me to put my work on her hand.


Looking at her bone structure, she has tiny hands. I mean bones. My wrists looks like a man's next to hers.

Went all the way to KLCC to do my assignment, at the same time, tried the macaroons from Harrods. I've got to say, the chocolate ones are the best, thick and chocolaty. I've tried quite a few macaroons from all over but so far, Harrod's chocolate macaroons are the best.

By the way, did I mention that my oven is fixed? =D

More baking to come soon. Might either attempt to make macaroons again or just stick to making cinnamon buns. It's been quite a while since I've baked something substantial.

As usual, I need to brush up on my grammar and spelling and sentence structure.

I will be back. =)

Too long.

My mum says my sentences are too long. Therefore, I will try to write them shorter. And at the meantime, improve my grammar. I need to brush up on my reading. I use to read books by the dozen but now, I am resorted to a book in 2 months?

Updates coming soon. I hope. Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows?

Remember, remember the 5th of November.

I hope that the world turns and things get better. But I hope most of all that you understand that even though I will never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you.
V for Vendetta
Watched V for Vendetta for the first time today. One word. Awesome. Second word. Mind-blowing.

All in all, it is a very good film which left me wanting more. Even though the story had ended, I wished there was more to it.

Made macaroons, or to be specific, I made unsweetened and flat macaroons. =(

Tried twice in a row and failed miserably.

First time, the blender had warmed my almond mixture which had the almond oil seeping out and turning my mixture into mush. Secondly, the stupid recipe that I wrote down, or to be more exact, stupid me wrote down the wrong measurements, which had the original sugar measurement of 225g to 25g. Utter failure and miserable.

=(

Will continue about the disastrous afternoon soon.

Ground almonds.

Finally had the courage to buy a packet of ground almonds to make macaroons this week. Not sure whether I am able to make it on Saturday but I have to make em this week.

I am feeling lethargic and tired.

I thought I had kicked the bad habit of biting my nails but once in a blue moon I am unable to resist myself but to bite and I always end up regretting it. =( My thumb, middle finger and last finger became the victims of my itchy mouth. They hurt now. (T.T)

Bunking in soon. Can hardly keep my eyes open but a warm shower I must have before I sleep.

Nite peeps.

The artistic side of me...

The neighbour below our apartment was being a meanie and had complained a few times that he was being disturbed by the dragging of chairs. I mean, it wasn't as if we were doing it on purpose and it was the occasional hurried state that we would be in that we would accidentally push the chair a little bit too hard. Still, the fella was being a pain in the butt so I decided to use my creative skills(thankfully which I had inherited from my mum) to good use.

The chair.

With some newspapers, rafia strings, a pair of scissors and some old socks...

ANNNNND.........

TA-DA!
"Dressed" chairs! I made some clothes for them. Or to be specific, I gave the chairs socks so that they can keep their feet warm at night. =) Done 4 chairs and 2 more to go.



Baked muffins last Saturday,chocolate muffins, with lotsa lotsa chocolate.
I ran out of coco powder and was too lazy to run to the supermarket to get some so I just melted some chocolate and mixed it into the batter.



I initially wanted to follow this recipe but then I had to improvise as I felt that the absence of any liquid in this recipe was a little worrying for me so I added 4 tablespoons of milk and thanks to my gut instincts, the muffin turned out good. If I hadn't added the milk, I think the muffins would have turned out rock solid!




Oh, by the way, all I want for my Christmas or maybe my birthday would be a hand held electric mixer so that I do not have to whip those damn egg whites by hand. Pardon my language ma. =p

Ok, am gonna bunk in soon. Stay tuned for more updates!

=) Have a nice life people! I know I am.

Of fluffness and cuteness.

On one particular day, there came a sudden flash of bright light...


The alien has landed!!!JENG JENG JENG!!!


No, please, spare me!


(One of my sisters drew this I think)

THE END.


Just to show you how adorable dogs can be. So, treat your pets with love and care.

Fluffy with her signature look that can melt one's heart at just a glance.


The old one, Benji, but my favorite. The most obedient(as he had the most beatings too =p)
When he wants attention, he would come near you and puts his head under your arm so that you have to pet him.


WARNING!!!

Do not attempt this at home.



This is how Fluffy waits for us to come home as she lacks the attention that she craves as we are away for a week.


She soon gets excited when she recognizes one of our cars.


Benji with the Victorian collar. Had his fur completely shaved off too for medical reasons. Hahaha. =p



That's all!
