i'm sure everyone has heard of the escape of the JI detainee from our tight-security premises.. my poor friend zuxian is on ns duty coz of the malay JI leader whom escaped(like so O.O")..

will you all please keep a lookout for him, this is a picture of his various possible disguise (sent to me by a friend)..



thanks very much!

i'm pretty sure i felt tremors just now at 5.05am and there's this nagging feeling in me that somehow seems to exclaim that mother nature is making a statement once again.. the feeling also tells me that it has got to do with the earthquake a couple of days ago in indonesia.. sigh.. humanity has no hope..

oh, i'm pretty sure about the tremors.. i am sleepy now but i've a sensitive butt, i have strong reactions to vibrations.. hah!

i think that growing up is a tedious process, the challenges that you face makes you feel so tired that you want to just give up..

i feel so old now.. i'm going on to 22 and i feel like i'm actually 72.. i feel so lost suddenly, it was as if my life has suddenly lost directions..

can i please go back to the time when i was 2?

life is a long and tedious journey, i hope that the after-life's life will be good.. =)

i'm so gonna be busy like a bee this coming week...

mon (later of the day)
my grandma will be admitting to sgh to prepare for her knee replacement surgery the day after, that is if her blood pressure level is within the "op-able" range.. *super-worried* she's been on her pain killers for quite some time already and her knees are far from good, the operation's her only release from her long-time pain.. i'm praying hard that she can go for the op..

also, i might jus drop by and visit my aunt who jus had an op to remove her womb.. i visited her last wk and the hospital even took a pic of her womb to show her! O.O the shape reminds me of an atomic bomb though.. LOL

tues
gonna go school to do my re-enrolment with rmit for my coming semester.. OH! we've gotten our results back last wk on 05 dec, i've got 3credits and only 1distinction for my pm(econs).. am half-satisfied for my results but i wished i had worked harder (AS USUAL!!!) i ALWAYS slack during exams and almost NEVER study for my exams.. am quite lucky to be able to get 1 dis, all thanks to my econs lecturer who gave us "model" test papers... =D it really helped in pulling up my grades! =D

wed-sat
most probably will be going to hospital quite often to acc my grandma, am thinking if i should make her some cupcakes to cheer her up? or mayb i can bring my lappy down and let her watch shows on it and pass time..

sat
there's a cowboy bar gathering at clementi area for some bbq sambal stingray and the likes, am still contemplating if i should attend.. it all depends if i'll be visiting grandma anot..

sun
hav a cupcake baking session and bbq gathering with my current classmates.. i miss bbq! hehehe.. hope tt i dun stuff myself too much! =X

there's so many things to do and so little time!!!
- bath my dog (since doggy weeks ago!)
- do up some xmas greetings cards
- clean up my messy room THOROUGHLY - no time to clean up for CNY when sch starts
- do a new earring holder.. something that can at least hold 100 pairs of earrings, i'm not exaggerating at all !!! and hopefully something that can hold 50 pairs of stud-earrings..
- do some planning for the gathering wif zuz & peers, and also my pri sch gathering on 29 dec.. i'm in charge of marinading chicken steaks! am thinking of doing a spicy and a non-spicy version.. =p
- hopefully, getting to bed early and eating less chocolates to rid my face of the pimples i've accumulated over the weeks.. ARGH !!!!!!!!!

zuz mentioned about baking is therapeutic.. so in need of some therapy, i baked again last nite.. =D i made cupcakes (again) and i baked double chocolate chunks cookies...

my cupcakes FLOPPED AGAIN !!! ARGHHHHH!!!

this time, i used the correct cupcakes paper cups but i overfilled them and resulted in..

FLOPCAKES TWO..


the only one that looked okay, but i actually thought that it would be a miniature cupcake as i didn't have enough batter left for it.. but lucky i did not, else it would join the league as another member of the flopcakes gang...


and i had my thoughts written on my cupcakes..




my cupcakes din turn out well but my cookies did pretty well..




the wilton ready-to-decorate icing is really gd, and PRICEY too.. =p






amidst the phototaking, my 2nd batch of cookies were in the oven happily baking away.. i was carried away but my pretty cupcakes and kinda forgotten the time.. and i made "CHARRCOOKIES" !!!

and who said that baking is therapeutic.. it was a emotion rollercoaster for mi! i guess i shouldn't bake when i miss george.. i'll end up being distracted and make more flopcakes and charrcookies...

i miss my george...

i've baked twice in the last 3 days!

i met zuz on sat and we made cupcakes and chocolate cornflakes to bring to shiva's place.. =D it was so much fun!

the first batch of cupcakes flopped! the idiot in mi used ordinary papercups instead of cupcakes paper cups and it couldn't hold the weight of the batter and collapsed when it was put in the oven to bake.. it resulted in "FLOPCAKES!"



not wanting to waste the flopcakes, we tried out the icing.. i would say that we could get the gist of using icing.. and we were quite good in in even though it was our virgin attempt.. =D



luckily the second batch saved the day...







i did most of the icing.. *BEAMS PROUDLY* okie, zuz did some of the pretty icing too!

then we made chocolate cornflakes that were a tad too buttery, then the smartass in mi tried to even out the buttery-ness by sifting cocoa powder & icing sugar.. i would say that it was redundent... nevertheless, they all enjoyed it.. =D

we were running a little late and was thinking of cabbing to shiva's place... LUCKILY, veron called and i pleaded her to drive us... hehehe... <3

i think she's stressed by driving us... coz we were so noisy and distracting... hur hur hur... but i feel a great sense of pride when i sat in her car, it's like my lil sister has grown up..



*at shiva's place*
the dinner was yummy, the pple were fun and great.. i had a fabulous time there.. and i think i had 3-4 papadoms! HEE HEE !!! a pity my darling george couldn't join us, he had to study hard in his hostel for his exams.. =S

You are Encouraging

Your outgoing nature, understanding of others, and directness make you ENCOURAGING.

You want others to do well for themselves, and you generally believe in their abilities.

You often know what's good for people because of your caring nature and your worldview.

When you care about someone, you don't keep it to yourself: you are good at letting people know that you're thinking of them.

Because you trust people, you take violations of that trust very seriously.

You thrive in social situations, and even though you know who you like and who you don't like, you can interact well with many different types of people.

You have a healthy respect for people who have earned what they have, and you strive to be similar to successful others.

You are a loyal friend and a good listener.

You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.


If you want to be different:

Sometimes, in the course of being encouraging, you can be a bit judgmental—this can make it more difficult for others to follow your advice.

While you are an expert at getting the most out of the world and taking advantage of many experiences, you might gain some insight by taking the time to be alone, reflect on things, or just observe the goings-on in the world.



You are an Inventor

Your imagination, self-reliance, openness to new things, and appreciation for utility combine to make you an INVENTOR.

You have the confidence to make your visions into reality, and you are willing to consider many alternatives to get that done.

The full spectrum of possibilities in the world intrigues you—you're not limited by pre-conceived notions of how things should be.

Problem-solving is a specialty of yours, owing to your persistence, curiosity, and understanding of how things work.

Your vision allows you to identify what's missing from a given situation, and your creativity allows you to fill in the gaps.

Your awareness of how things function gives you the ability to come up with new uses for common objects.

It is more interesting for you to pursue excitement than it is to get caught up in a routine.

Although understanding details is not difficult for you, you specialize in seeing the bigger picture and don't get caught up in specifics.

You tend to more proactive than reactive—you don't just wait for things to come to you.

You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.


If you want to be different:

Try applying your creativity to more artistic arenas, and letting your imagination take less practical forms.
