The Song


Heartache.

Something happened, I saw it, and I'm not in the best of moods now.

Can't seem to fall asleep now. Don't even feel tired at all...

Great songs.

Weird.

Today was a weird day. Can't seem to get my internal clock to work properly now... Stupid me.

Woke up at 9.30am. Good right? Not until I fell asleep again.

Woke up at 12.30pm. Haiz. Usual stuff... then lunch. WHOA! Pa bought like a whole lot of foooood for lunch.

Headed down to Compass Point to buy paper from Popular 1st, then down to Hougang Mall to buy beehoon, butter and potatoes from NTUC. Looked so much like an auntie carrying all those stuff. Plus I brought along chocolate and my baking stuff also. I CARRIED THEM FOR THE WHOLE DAY OK.

Headed down to Li Ting's house again with Yunting and Yu Heng to do more baking. LOL! We procrastinated at first... DS + Computer really makes you anti-social and bored at the same time haha. What did we bake? SURPRISE!

Now I'm baking another batch of brownies for Angel. They're now in the oven. I still got a lot of things to do sigh. Guess its another sleepless night for me...

Thanksgiving tomorrow. Still am not gonna post my thanks to people now. Later on.

A.A. (Auntie Ash).

Editing.

Totally blur editing my blog now. Just changed the skin hehe.

Wonder what to do for tomorrow... gonna be a busy day.

Went to Li Ting's house today with Yunting and Yu Heng to bake stuff. They loved my brownie. Gary became my 1st satisfied customer for my brownies today.

Not gonna write much now... going to edit blog.

EIC (Editor-in-confusion).

Christmas over?

So fast? Crap.

So it is officially 30 days to enlistment! Wow! 1 month. So fast.

Today was quite crapped up from the start. Woke up from my 11 hour sleep after 48 hours of no sleep, with a bad sore throat and a sore arm.

After settling whatever you normally do after you wake up, started baking brownies for Gary. Went on well till I finished baking and took the whole thing out to cut.

IT CRUMBLED ON ME.
STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!

Wasted 1 kg of chocolate, 250g of butter, 400g of sugar, 150g of flour, 3 eggs and 3 tsp of vanilla essence, and 2.5 hours.

Now I feel so bad for not being able to deliver it to Gary on time (it was already late actually). Really have to thank him for his understanding... I mean, if this really happened in the real world today, where would the customers go man?

Oh man. I'm too lazy to even plug in my phone to post pictures now. Not gonna get the cable hahas.

Well, thanksgiving is coming ya? All the best for the end of 2007, and an even greater 2008!
Not gonna start thanking people now. Gonna do it at the end of the year.

CHEERS!

I'm definitely not going into 2008 with a grumpy face. I'm going to smile. Like this ----> xD

Bored now though, wonder how the next few days will end up. But actually, I already have the answers lol. One word: Fabutastic.

Haha.

--

High, and looking forward to Christmas 2008.

Faith.

We all need faith.

We must have faith in ourselves for others to have faith in us.

Guess that's where the trust in relationships and friendships come from.

Faith and trust both work together in maintaining that.

You'll need faith to do things that you or others may deem impossible before.

You'll need trust to work together with others well, to complete the tasks at hand.

If someone were to place his faith in me, I'll treasure it.

As it means that there's something I can do to become a better person.

It also means that that person has placed his trust in me to do something good for others.

I'll always believe in miracles.

Faith.

Merry Christmas!

Philosophical?

Blah

Just got home. Watched I'm Legend...

Stoned.

2 days to X'mas.

No snow. Have accepted it that there will never, never be snow in Singapore, at least in my lifetime. Or perhaps, the equator is shifting? That will make me happy.

Thinking about stupid things now. Really stupid till I've decided not to tell anyone. Will make me look seriously dumb.

They opened the doors at Jurong West like half-an-hour late. Grrrrrrr.

Christmas Party @ Melvados' rocked. It was quite funny there... tried very hard not to laugh during the Ultimate Charades (I knew most of it - read previous post). Haha. So many friends today!

Pass the Parcel really was eekish. Out of 5 forfeits, my team did 4, which included spelling 'Merry Christmas to All!' (exclamation mark inclusive) with our butts, singing a Christmas Carol (which was easy, cos we sang 'We wish you a Merry Christmas'), doing 25 squats with our hands interlocked (which was terrible considering that Suijin was beside me and he just decided to hang onto me), and I forgot the other (short-term memory). I have decided to "kill" Suijin.

Just for your information, my team included Lava, Liting, Ming Guan, Yankai, Suijin, Suiyang, Alex, Qiuying and her 2 friends (Sorry! I forgot your names but I'll find out and post here!) (they left early also).

Forgot to write this. We played Who?, What?, Huh? before we started eating and Sharon just kept trying to run away from the forfeit (drink half a glass of water). DOH!

Went down to Bedok with Yunting, Liting, Ming Guan, Yu Heng and Andy afterwards to eat more. Lol! Greedy people.

I'm not writing anymore.

--

Procrastinating.

Crap

New shoes = Discomfort.

Got blisters now. Pffft.

Christmas is almost here! 3 more days!

I just realised that I can be real evil. Good luck to all playing charades tomorrow.

Met up with Jo, Priscilla and Amelia at Vivocity before heading down to Expo. We were early ok? But many others were earlier. Mad rush today. So many people. Ended up sitting near the end of the terraces. Lol!

So many new friends today. Stupid me mistook Yankai's sister for her... until I remembered that Yankai wore white today. Blur. They are like almost mirror images. Except the hair. But I couldn't see the difference in the dark of course.

Dinner was a laugh event. Talking about stupid stuff, i.e. teaching Ming Guan the wrong things? If you didn't know, Ming Guan is Liting's brother. They said that he shouldn't learn from me. Teaching him the wrong things. But I think that what I said was true. Well, I'm not gonna put the details of what we talked about here, not as yet. Sharon told us a story, and it involved someone close to her (*wink wink*). Wonder who? (*wide grin*)

I'm not supposed to say who. Don't bother asking. But if "mou-mou-ren" decides to read this and guesses its her (Oops, i said its a her), well, not my fault.

I'm evil! I seriously can't imagine people acting out, saying out or drawing what Yunting and myself came up with. All the best to everyone tomorrow haha. Doesn't matter posting it here, cos by the time you read this, you would have done it already. And to those who somehow manage to read this before the party tomorrow, you're in for a whole load of pure good and "evil" fun!

Well, so late now, but who cares?

Type type typ ty zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

--

Wicked.

Tired out.

Whole day out today. Buy, buy, buy and buy. Super tired now. Brain isn't working properly. Think maybe I go sleep early now?

Haiz.

Told Suijin not to be late for our meeting just now. And I was late instead. Today's a day of travelling... Went from home to City Hall, then to Vivocity, then to Raffles City, then to Centrepoint, then to Toa Payoh, then to Thomson, then home.

Have been walking around since 3pm till just an hour ago.

Never mind. Take it as exercise.

CHRISTMAS SERVICES START TOMORROW!!!
EXCITED?
I SURE AM!
WAHAHAHAHA!


Okay I'm high and tired.

Another time.

--

Wasted?

Oops

Lol... 3 days without a post... busy?

Wondering what to type also... some people just can write, write, write, write and write... I can't. Quite hard to do so. I'll just go loony. Instead of saying "I eat cake with a fork.", I'll say " I eat fork with a cake."

Anyway, business got off to a start... Made a whole load of biscuits yesterday. Really dunno if I should expand hahas. Some people liked the caramel custard, some didn't. Some people just love my biscuits. Kudos to Char, Jo, Liting, Yankai, Qiuying, Suijin, Triton blahblah (if your name is here and you don't like them, tell me, but if your name isn't here and you like them, tell me too. More names better!)

Suijin messed with my brain today... told me it needed 40 mins from Batok Central to Sharon's house; it took 20 mins only. After that, he clarified by saying 20 mins waiting time. Pffft.

Well, I really dunno what else to write now. Perhaps later.

MERRY CHRISTMAS. (5 more days)

--

Excited.

Chao Tar

I GOT MY 1ST CUSTOMERS HAHAS!!!!!

Arigato to Char and Suijin.

Seriously, who wants to buy biscuits tell me ok? Now they're just sugar puffs... but if I can get more customers, perhaps I can venture out to use other things instead of sugar... guess Suijin will be happy, since he's asking me to use lemon, lemon and more lemon. xD

I just burnt a whole batch of biscuits... not paying attention.

Hehe.

For biscuits, it'll be $5 per packet (roughly 200+ grams)
and brownies will be $1.50 for a slice (5cm x 5cm)
OR $20 (20cm x 20cm)

Not very sure whether I'm gonna make caramel custards yet... but if I do,
it'll be $1.20 each,
or 12 for $12.

Anyone wants to order anything, PLS and PLS sms me your orders at 91709678.

I'll get back to you A.S.A.P.

--

Burnt.

Yay!

Teehee. Breakaway camp over today. Seemed quite fast... And I'm super tired now... Haiz. Wanted to post pics but on seconds thoughts... another time.

Well, since the camp's over, it means, next up: CHRISTMAS!!! Wishing for a white Christmas, but as you know, if it ever snows in Singapore soon, the sun'll rise from the west... I shall pray it does happen though, cos I haven't seen snow yet, and it'll be nice to see it snowing in hot and humid HERE...

Anyway, guess I shan't write too much now...
Tired...

P.S. Doesn't seem like it'll snow soon, but enjoy the song!

Zombie.

Camp

Morning.

Why can't I just seem to wake early? Or even if I wake early, I can't seem to get the energy to get outta bed...

Camp.

Anyway, today's camp for super fun! Did quite a bit of stuff, including treasure hunt, and also our BBQ!!!

Problem is, we didn't manage to play the second game for the day... Cursed rain. Missed out on the chance to throw eggs, flour and water bombs at others... NOOOOO!!! So sad...

BBQ.

And I didn't eat a single thing during the BBQ.

Was busy preparing the campfire, which was great except that it didn't quite work as planned... but I thought that the change was much better, with Ps. Zhuang running down to light it himself hahas. I still smell of kerosene.

Nighttime.

Went outside to a 'zi char' stall to buy a whole load of food, syrup and plates for supper... Guess what... We forgot the ice. lol.

Injuries/Weird problems.

Suijin's blisters are horrible and I seriously mean horrible. Bigger than your big toe... and it had already burst. Disgusting.

Triton had some weird stomach pain... Wonder how he's doing... PMS? HAHA!

Tomorrow.

MORE COMING UP!

Pffffft...

BREAKAWAY CAMP STARTED ALREADY! YAY!

But I'm not there now.
Stuck at home.
Wondering what to do.
Dunno what to do.
How?
Someone give me a solution?
Help me?
Ack.
Please?
Pretty please?
Seriously, I'm drowning at home.
I'm bored of using the computer.
I'm bored of staying at home.
ARGH.

Breakaway

BREAKAWAY CAMP STARTS TOMORROW!!!!!

But then again, I'm not going tomorrow pffft. Only going on Friday.

Spent the whole of today running around town. Finally ended up getting what I wanted at Bishan, then back to town again.

Met up with Sharon, Lava and Triton at The Forum today for Dom's B'day. HAPPY B'DAY DOMDOM! Ahas. Dom looked different today with his white CK specs. Well, after that, we decided to go for dinner around town... Walked all the way till we were reaching Wisma, then decided that it was way to crowded to do anything; then Sharon suggested we eat in the West area... so we walked all the way back to The Forum again (Sharon parked her car there).

We ended up eating at The Prata House at Thomson. Sharon gave us a lift to Bishan MRT when we were done, and we ate there again. I'm feeling like a glutton now hahas.

I WANT GOOD WEATHER!!! Stupid rainy days. STOP RAINING! Hopefully there'll be good weather for the next three days... can't stand for wet weather during the camp. Or if there really must be rain, just don't rain over KCP ok?

Have fun guys tomorrow.

--

Tired.

Home

I am HOMESICK (sick of staying at home).

Someone help me? Hahas!

So many restrictions here and there, and I can't do much either... Anyone has any kind of relief? Bwah! I'm going to collect orders! Anyone wants to order biscuits or brownies CONTACT ME! Selling them for this coming Christmas. Will be settling everything soon hehe!

I will get back to you A.S.A.P.!

--

Sighing.

Thoughts

Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking and thinking...

Awww crap, no inspiration to write now... maybe later on...

HAHAS!!!

--

Emo?

O.R.

If you didn't happen to guess it, O.R. stands for Officially Rotting...

Moodless now... Haiz! But I think I'll be getting customers SOON WHEEEEE!!!

Hardy, if you're reading this, I owe you one day okay? Wonder if you wanna come out on wednesday???

Dr. John Avanzini was great today. Such a powerful message. I shall see myself working super hard to achieve good results c( : I will, I will, I WILL!!!

People just lurve my biscuits xD, yeah I know, self-praise, self-praise... Char's addicted to them though. Told her to eat proper food for proper nutrition just now to stop her from stuffing down her throat... Didn't work. I'm officially gonna start baking A.S.A.P. But I might feel guilty hehe, making people grow horizontally instead of vertically haha. I'll add to your circumference!

There's always a song for the occasion... Think I'm stuck with There You'll Be by Faith Hill now... absolutely love it for now.

Exercise plan 2007 - 25/1/2008: Wake, eat, exercise, eat, sleep. <----- Good plan to follow? Right... I'm being retarded now. Gonna end up doing some other things soon... Using the computer has been becoming a bore... Before exams, kinda wanna do everything... After, dunno what to do... PFFFT!

Nothing much to talk about today otherwise...

BLEAHx!

Loving the big fonts.

Biscuits

Somebody, and I mean SOMEBODY, help me edit my blog skin argh! Looks terrible... I wanted a simple blog yeah? But not too simple ya? Kinda looks plain now... am getting dotty all around lol.

I woke early today! But was still a little late for this morn's CGM... forgot the stupid brownies I baked yesterday... Realised it when I reached the bus interchange, so I had to go back home... Haiz! Went back to the bus interchange again just to see 171 leave... Sickening. Luckily the next bus came earlier than usual hahas. Still, I was 10 mins late.

3 weeks till the end of the year. 3 weeks to do as much as we can to end with a BANG! 3 weeks to fulfil everything that we are supposed to, but haven't yet... Anyway, it was a great CGM today ya?

After CG, went to BPP for lunch. Some people were happy, some troubled, some confused, some weird and some retarded (Me, me, me!). Guess I'm still thinking too much... till I make myself more confused... stupid me.

I'm supposed to make more brownies as samples, but I have no butter, the remaining brownies are in pieces and are super hard, so I'm making biscuits now...

Ignore the above... back to after BPP...

Today was a weird day... no one seemed to be very free after CGM... but still ended up going for a LAN session with Chao Chung, Triton and Gary. Fun and retarded session hahas. 4 of us VS 16 bots... Guess how badly we were owned in dust and iceworld... After that, we played DOTA for a while before we went on to play WTF mode against AI. Super retarded game. Shan't elaborate more... Oh yah, and Samuel suddenly appeared halfway through the session.

Came home after that, and started making biscuits... more biscuits to eat, eat, eat and erm, I mean, let others sample.

Anyway, I think I should get back to baking now... I'll be back.

--

Floured.

Maple and Baking

All work but no play makes Jack a dull boy. So what? I'm not Jack?

I'm writing this while MSNing Char and Hardy at the same time...

Woke at 9.30am today, then fell asleep again... dunno why... next time I woke, father yelling at me, cos it was already 2.30pm LOL!

Spent the whole crappish afternoon and early evening playing Maplestory... can't blame me... DAY was just too boring. Went to do Ludi PQ (to those who know it, good, to those who don't, too bad) for the 1st time in my life. Ended up doing stupid things there. Shan't elaborate.

Night was bad, bad and bad. Went to Khatib NTUC to look for puff pastry, don't have. Went to Cheers look, Don't Have... Then took a bus to Northpoint to look; Cold Storage, DON'T HAVE...

BLUFF YOU! Found it there after a while, and what I saw next was so tempting... B&J's ice cream at $19.95 for 2 TUBS! What the... and I bu she de hua qian mai... CRAP! Ice cream... ice cream... ice cream... won't be able to sleep properly tonight.

I'm so disgusted by myself. 49 days to NS and I'm still thinking of ice cream... hahas! Sad, Hardy's going in this coming thursday. BON VOYAGE!!! xDxD Bet he'll kill me as soon as he reads this.

Back to the puff pastry...

Made biscuits with it, and I stupidly placed some of the baked ones on kitchen towels... 10 seconds later, all stuck to them. Had to throw away about 5 pieces... NOOOOOO... never mind. At least I got quite a bit left still hahas. Anyway, I made brownies too, but I underestimated the amount of the ingredients needed so I filled like 1/3 of the large baking tin... had to switch to the smaller one. And I almost forgot the walnuts. Well, the brownies are still in the oven NOW and I'm like waiting for them to get ready, so that I can clear up. Haiz.

Remember, there's always an obstacle when you decide to cook or bake stuff... It's called siblings. When food disappears, wonder where it goes? Whodunnit?

Guess it's time to go check on the brownies again?

--

Baked.

OMG

Heh. I'm like waking quite late each day... today was 11am... some people might think I'm crazy (cos 11am is early) but yeah, I DON'T CARE! Morning was over in an hour... LOL duh!

Enjoyed myself today hahas. Left house at 2pm and headed to Riverwalk for Powerhouse today, only 2 other people there other than Sharon, Samuel, Yunting, Sui Jin, Sui Yang and myself... Guess it was quite a good prayer session ya. Gosh... Sui Yang is just so fun to be with! One small kiddo for me to "disturb". Hahas. Spent over an hour at Riverwalk before we decided to go to Vivocity to catch a movie.

They wanted to watch Fred Claus, but there just weren't any time slots; we ended up watching Golden Compass. Who said it was anti-Christ? Didn't seem to have any indication of it at all... Well, but the storyline was quite dry... There wasn't much of exciting scenes in the movie at all. But it was quite crazy to see a polar bear's jaw getting knocked off. Someone get me a demon (the pets of the people in the movie). Think if Li Ting got one, she'll scream for joy hahas. Char and Jo were supposed to join us for the movie, but the rest had to head back early, so we ended up watching an earlier movie lol. Seriously, someone get me a demon PLSPLSPLS... or perhaps a POLAR BEAR c( :

I'm addicted to the PSP... Triton didn't come today so I ended up being able to keep it for another day! xD YAYS! But I guess I better stop using the PSP soon, can't let it take over my life lol. I got other things to do!

Ended up talking with Buddy about plans for baking brownies, cookies, biscuits and plans for selling them!!! Hehe. No choice... need some income during this period of time. Someone help me hahas. Support me, buy my brownies, PRETTY PLEASE! (disgusting *pukes*)

Gimme a second, I'll clear up the mess 1st.

Well, hopefully tomorrow will be a good day with good weather and good things to do... Has been raining non-stop for the past few days... I wanna see some sun! Everyday shall be a happy day!!! Wheee! Stupid monsoon season now.

Anyway, am gonna start baking tomorrow, brownies 1st... then perhaps biscuits... I wanna bring in the business!

P.S. You should have seen Sui Yang in his new Havaianas. He looked just like an uncle in them haha.

Excited and quite retarded

Bad Day

Daniel Powter - Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

Sometimes the system goes on the brink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

..........

Love that song.

Seriously, what can you do when you're stuck at home with nothing to do... Life just comes to a standstill doesn't it? Have slept for a long long time before posting this and I'm still feeling tired. Just simply staying at home is crappish.

What can I do? Can't think of anything now. Everything I think of now seems kinda boring hahas. Guess I'll continue spamming here.

It has been raining for the past 5 hours already... when's the weather ever gonna let up? Sad day for the skies too yeah? Let them pour.

I'M GONNA THINK LESS AND DO MORE!!! Just thinking more and more makes me even more miserable. Unless of course, HAPPY THOUGHTS! I sound retarded. Well, tomorrow will always be a better day :)

Want to do something about my hair but finding it a waste of money.

And someone help me with HTML hahas.

--

Happy, pissed and tearing my hair off (FREE).

1st

Seems like this is the 1st post yeah?

Guess what one can do when one's bored? Post in blogs...

Life is so unpredictable. Some things we expect, some things we do not expect. I DIDN'T EXPECT to be writing this now. Feeling idiotic, always telling myself that I'm anti-blogging, but still, here I'm.

Really don't know much of what to do now. Stupid holidays. Glad that the As are over, but I just can't seem to decide on what I want to do. Decision-making at this period of time really sucks.

AND I'm JOBLESS haha!!! Guess I'm gonna sell brownies... anyone wants to order?

LOL.
