less than 24hrs to xmas
i shall blog abt my "eventful" day of nothing-ness
woke up late cos i slept late... n had the sudden impulse to bake muffins!
since i ve got an oven at home now i thought i ll invest in some muffin trays to get nice shapely muffins!...
changed into a crummy shirt n denim shorts i ve not worn for ages, put on my geeky specs and then proceeded to the NTUC nearby... turned out they dont have what i want...
so being on a streak of impulsiveness...
i took a bus to newton to a bakery shop to get the muffin trays..
so i found what i wanted there.. but thought they re somewhat pricey..
23 bucks for 2 6-muffin trays...decided to move on somewhere to find cheaper ones...
so i thought... since i ve already ventured out so far might as well go all the way to get my muffin trays today...
hence i found myself in bugis next...but neither BHG or cold storage had what i want...
-_- ..
n all the time i was trying to look inconspicuous hoping i wont bump into anyone i know in my unglamest state.. or at the very least... hope they wouldnt be able to recognise me
haha.. talk abt being vain
yep.. so in the end.. i dragged myself back to the newton store n bought the damn muffin trays..
i mean... i cant have gone out the whole afternoon without buying anything right..
so yea after i spent the entire afternoon on the muffin tray hunt...
i felt so sian i didnt want to bake any muffins...
and this is the end of a pointless post of a pointless day
thanks for reading

=(
♥
oh well oh well... more than half the holidays s over... =(
im trying hard to fight back the sinking feeling i get whenever i think about school..
ugh..
on a brighter note.. xmas is coming.. =)..
hm dont really feel much abt it yet.. n sort of no special plans for anything except xmas drama services.. i really pray this xmas will be different.. that my not going to taiwan is going to be so worth it.. i really pray for lives to be transformed and changed(mine included)
i need a fresh encounter this dec.. a word a promise from God to really help me ride over the coming months..
xmas party at daryl's on sat was so fun!.. n now im kinda hooked on playing Rockband(though it feels kind of weird playing without michael ard =/ ) really glad my friends enjoyed themselves too.. great food relaxed atmosphere good company fun games... kinda wish we ll have another one on xmas eve again.. =p..
baked raspberry almond shortbread cookies the night before at eeyore's place... oh man.. we were in the kitchen from like 11pm to almost 4am.. really thank God for eeyore.. if not i wouldnt have managed alone.. not to mention maybe give up after the first batch flopped.. hehe.. baked like 150 cookies in all.. -_-
spent sat morning baking another batch of cookies.. then the whole afternoon making shepherd's pie for the party.. oh man.. it was a nightmare... i ll never mash potatoes or carrots AGAIN unless someone pays me a million..
i think if i walk through a departmental store now and some salesman is demonstrating using a machine to mash potatoes.. i ll buy it on the spot even if im not intending to use it ever... just as a xmas present for my right wrist.. which has suffered from mashing 13 potatoes and 10 carrots with a fork...
and worse still... only one of the 2 shepherd s pies were consumed due to the enormous amount of food at the party( or maybe it just wasnt v nice tho ws seem to love it).. should have just made half the servings la( which translates to 7 potatoes and 5 carrots)
and the most hilarious thing happened to me on my way to the party..
the cab driver tried to do some matchmaking for his son n even drove so slowly!..
we were on the expressway n he had to drive on the leftmost lane..
n all the way he was asking me qns like if im chinese.. my age my occupation if i have a bf etc etc ... n then telling me his son is quite tall n also studying in uni also christian and the same dialect grp(yea like wth right)..
and the ultimate..
he offered, albeit jokingly, to help me pay off my tuition fee loan( almost $60k) if i marry his son.. ok then he asked me if i am able to cook and do housework..(!!!) and told me i should start having marriage plans... -_- .. i was like laughing politely the whole way
oh man.. i felt almost bad for him as i got off cos he seemed so keen
candlelight service on sunday was great(though i kept dozing off).. love the candlelights =)...
something bad happened on the way to church though... and i thank God for yuka who was there with me and who accompanied me the whole day to the doc's .. back home and to church again.. sorry i scared you though..
dad gave a dinner treat at the thai village sharksfin restaurant cos he won 4d or smth.. even gave my sisters and 1 50 bucks each.. food was good also (i didnt really enjoy watching the others eat sharksfin though =( )
but more than that.. everyone was happy that night.. no quarrels no bitter complaints no unhappiness at the table...
at times like this i cant help but feel that maybe money can really buy happiness..

im starting to feel despair as i look at the stacks of notes and textbooks strewn on the floor around me...
so much things to study...
and and .. i always have a headache when it comes to tidying and sorting out stuff..
i always start out with huge enthusiasm.. pouring every single thing out so that i can do the task thoroughly
but then just when a few too many things start getting hard to categorise...
i ll inevitably lose interest in the whole project.. (n that s why im blogging now whilst being half buried in notes)
guess it s the perfectionist in me rearing its ugly head at a time when i dont need it..
since i cant do it properly so might as well not do it altogether
it s a swell day today.. =).. (HAPPY BDAY EEYORE!) a word i ve picked up from a book im currently reading "Water for elephant"
i ve been reading it so relentlessly i developed a headache from being a couch potato and concentrating on the tiny words on the paperback
anw yeah i woke up in the noon.. feeling so at peace and relaxed i actually had the thought of going back home... just to be around... maybe spend the afternoon practising on the piano or lying on my mum's bed to watch tv...
but in the end i procrastinated at home till evening.. when i deemed it too late to make going anywhere worthwhile of my time washing up and dressing (yea ignore my logic)
i had actually wanted to go shop for bday pressies..or maybe pop by the baking shop to look for something special for my xmas baking.. then meet my sis n her colleagues for a drink at timbre... yep.. but in the end i was too lazy to go out.. =p
yesterday i had a full day out with eeyore! =)... hehe i bought like the most things i ve ever did on a single shopping trip.. 2 tops 1 skirt 1 dress n a belt... yeah dont sound like much but it s really the max amt i think.. guess it s rare i spot that many things i actually like enough to buy.. im guessing maybe im more adventurous in the things i wear now..
or it s due to eeyore's encouraging comments "it looks very cute".. "you look v nice in it"...
so eeyore didnt get anything herself.. but it s ok since the highlightof the day is
MATCHA PARFAIT
omg.. it s like the most perfect blend of what a dessert should have.. hehe.. i love love love it..
cute eeyore with the irresistable matcha parfait.. eeyore took a photo of me too and i was supposed to look v greedy.. i told her i dont really have to try... heheto be continued.... (while i clear out the mess i made on the living room's floor)
