pics from here n there

Image330
i discovered that with my latest batch of pictures, i have precisely 200 photos in my flickr. how cool is that? lol~

if you cant guess from my title, these are pictures that i took using my phone but was too lazy to upload. so i uploaded them all in one go and split them into 2 posts. so anticipate another random picture post =p

Image331
minced beef...

Image332
and chinese cabbage...

Image333
mixed together!

what do you think i made?

Image334
wantons!

but they turned out very ugly and cacat coz the skin was square instead of round
*refuses to admit that i have no skill in wrapping wantons*

Image335
val gave me the recipe on msn and i scribbled it onto a sheet of crap paper.
see, no space so i had to start writting from the top again. wtf

i always leave at least one sheet of crap paper near my laptop for me to scribble stuff on =p

Image336
boiled wantons!
the skin came off anyway -__-"

Image337
i have no idea why i suddenly camwhored... its not as if i had any makeup on...

Image338
*sigh* the camwhore bug bites me at random times -_-"

Image339
ah, i think i was trying to show my new (at that time new la) fringe.

Image340

Image341
took this picture just to 'kek' bernie.
bernie, are u jealous~~~

Image342
at the table i sat at, someone left these behind...
how could they not eat their chocolate flakes??? they must either be outta their mind, or on diet.

Image343
see all the half melted marshmallows under the whipped cream... yummm

Image344
this was taken during my trip down to london to visit the City and COL
as usual, i dragged stella out to teman me =p

Image345
dont these look absolutely diabetic?

Image346

Image347
the shop was very aptly named 'candy cakes' :D

Image348
i bought a slice of cake because i felt that it was more worth it then buying a cupcake because as you can see, the cake comes with a cupcake on top! and a chocolate cup on top of the cupcake!
definitely better than just buying a cupcake lorh!

Image349
*excited*

Image350

Image351
cake was predictably super sweet, so i had to gulp down water in between bites.

Image352
damn, everytime i see '5 a day' im reminded of feng n bernie -_-"

Image353

Image354
my favourite part of the cake! the chocolate rice adds texture to each chew *nom crackle nom*

Image355
how come i always seem to catch her with her eyes closed -_-

Image356
so pretty right the deco?

we went to frankie and benny's near stella's place for dinner
Image357
stella loves her calamari

Image358
how come bruschettas always disappoint me?

all i want is bread with a yummy mushroom and cheese combo toasted on top. is that so hard for a restaurant to make???

Image359
stella was so excited to dig into her fish n chips!

Image360
my huge ass calzone
see my hand for size estimation. in the end i cut it in half and tapao-ed it.

Image361
but it was very cheesiliciously nice though! so i didnt regret ordering it =p

Image362
subway had some promotions going on for the red nose day.
(except that the promotions lasted about a month instead of a day)

Image364
and no i did not have to wear it all day.
u crazy ah, my nose so flat, once i clip the nose on, i cant breathe anymore. (i want shaun's nose. his nose bridge damn high wan. no wonder ppl always think he's mixed blood la.)

Image365
in fact, we didnt have to wear the nose at all.

Image366
i just saw it lying around, so i gatal nak cuba and see how i looked like =p

Image367

Image368
close-up

Image369
daffodils!
i saw a daffodil lying on the ground today with its long stem still intact, it was quite obviously cut by someone, but i dont know why they left it lying around, maybe they dropped it or something.

anyways, i felt so happy to find it and brought it home. its really pretty, one of those that managed to bloom just perfectly without any sign of defects :D

Image370
for those of you that have yet to see my oxford boots :D

im totally loving them. i can even run comfortably in them. this was tested when i had to run all the way from my flat to the bus stop just to catch the bus -_-"
the heel height is just purrfect! high enough for me to feel sexy, but low enough for total comfort :D

Image562
outfit of the day for goodness-knows-which-day-already

Image563
see the booties! (i mean boots not ass la! wtf)

Image564
why do my legs look so stumpy???
did i gain weight???
i wish i had weighing scales! *obsesses bimboticly about weight*

Image566
a field of daffodils!

Image567
and they smell really awesome too!

Image569
on yet another trip down to london, this time to celebrate some birthdays get my cert of good conduct, i met up with jo and her friends and we went to C&R for lunch.

Image570
i was hoping my laksa would be more like the sarawak laksa kind than the curry-ish kind :(
but it was quite ok anyway =p

Image571
macaroons from harrods!
bought a lil box for kiongs bdae and decided to buy myself one because i hadnt tried them before and kiong loves them to bits!

Image572

Image573

Image575
strawberries drizzled liberally with honey = YUM

Image576
i burnt my hand on the stovetop the other day

T_T


Image577
no la, it was from the red dye used in baking the red velvet cake =p

one tiny teaspoon, (no wait, make that 3/4 of a teaspoon because i wasnt too keen on using soo much dye in my cake) and its already soo red! damn pahwerr!

Image578
from the mixing bowl into the baking tin

Image579

Image581
but the finished product is so brown!
i was kinda disappointed :(

Image583
more mohagany than red

Image584
me all sticky after gym and excited to try my cake.
which tasted ok only and thus further disappointed me T.T

my housemate says i seem like im very free, not like a final year student at all.
she said it in mandarin but it goes along the lines of : one day i see you wrapping dumplings, then the next i see you baking cakes. you have a part time job and now you've joined gym as well!

LOL!

ok, thats all the pics for this post. will post the rest after giving the aussie ppl's bandwidth a break =p
