the gym is gonna be closed till the 14th (well, i think its the 14th if im not mistaken), so i decided to go all out today until my muscles ached, so that my money for the 10th-14th would not be wasted.

i know my logic is twisted, but what do u know. wtf

unfortunately, once i got on the treadmill, my stomach started to hurt. and i wasnt sure if it was a stitch, hunger or what. so after just 10mins on the treadmill, i gave up. then i briefly considered going back home. but no! my money would be wasted! so would my effort in going to gym (as if the gym isnt right opposite my flat)!

so i hopped onto a bicycle and started pedalling. this way, only my legs moved and my stomach would be given a chance to settle. tenzai (goodness, when was the last time i used that word??)! =p

im not gonna go into detail about everything i did in gym, but the point is that i tried my best to ensure that my muscles would kill me tomorrow. masochist. wtf

but i am extremely determined not to be the stereotype of gaining weight after going overseas. no no no! instead, i shall lose weight and tone up!

***************

i just came back from the launderette. i am NOT happy. the dryer ate up my one pound. so i had to go back to my room just to get another pound. NOT fun.

1 pound = 5 ringgit++

%$#%$#^%*&

i could have bought an item from ebay with that pound! wtf

***************

on a happier note, i discovered last night when i checked my bank account that my pay had been banked in!

normally payday is on the 10th every month, but this month it was 2 days early. yay!!!

***************

recently i have taken a liking to over knee socks. like really really liking them (i bought 3 on ebay. white, black and grey. wtf).

i might be over-influenced by gossip girl and boys before flowers :S

back in malaysia, those who wear over knee socks would immediately be classed as "lala". but here, its so different and i really like the whole school girl look =p

plus, they allow me to wear shorts without freezing to death! after winter, i honestly forgot what it felt like to wear shorts -_-"


im even considering getting a pair of rainbow ones.

dont they look happy?? im sure they'd perk me up if i wear them whenever im feeling down... but i have no idea what to match them with -_-"

i was looking for pics of the main actress of boys before flowers to illustrate the over knee socks look, but i found this instead!

:D

im having a sudden craving for ice kacang. it came out of nowhere :S

of cake tins and a cutie

my cake tin is leaking. leaking. LEAKING.

and i discovered this a few minutes after i had put the cake mixture into the oven to bake, after i had washed up. this meant that i good portion of batter had already leaked away onto the grill tray.

for a minute, i stoned. what do i do??? take the tin out again and put the batter where? i only have one cake tin.

for a moment i considered pretending i didnt see anything and just hoping that the batter will solidify soon and stop leaking out.

but cakes dont work that way :(

so i took the tin out, transferred the batter to a casserole bowl and chucked it back into the oven. i hope this works *fingers crossed*

and lookie what i spotted on "the sartorialist":

does he not look absolutely delish??

im not a big fan of his shoes... but just look at that FACE.

mildly harry potter-ish but with a smirk.

when i 1st saw the picture, i wasnt sure if it were male or female. but now im quite sure this gorgeous specimen is male.

i prefer oriental guys to ang mohs, but man... this guy would give any oriental a run for their money!

ok, enough drooling.

time to check up on my cake :S

im back. it looks like its doing alright, just a little on the small side. not so surprising since alot of the batter had leaked out. *phew*

im back again. i went to my friend's place. brought the cake along. it was awesome possum!!! :D

yesterday i discovered ebay

oh noes...

oh noes...

oh noes...

i have won 5 items, am watching 14 items, and am bidding for 3 items.

oh crap.

but on the bright side, the sum of the 5 items i bought is less than 15pounds! and it includes a H&M suede jacket. *flashes big wide smile and hopes that no one notices that the sum does not include postage*

and i thought i was safe if i stopped visiting blogshops and stayed home -_-"

*looks guiltily away from coursework that seems like its glaring at me*

tomorrow after going to the market to stock up on fruits, vegetables and fish, i shall read up on admin! aja!

***************

on another note, it amazes me how much some people are lacking in social skills. is showing consideration for other people's feelings such a hard thing to do???

f-cup cookies

i just found out about these today as i was browsing through some singaporean blogshops!

man i didnt even know such things existed!

according to cookiecup.co.uk:
"The F-Cup Cookies will help any women increase their breast size whilst enjoying a delicious, low fat cookie. Each cookie is only 70 calories (68.7 kcal) and contains a safe, herbal breast enhancer called Pueraria Mirifica needed for natural breast enhancement. The cookie works by slowly releasing compounds of Pueraria Mirifica. Pueraria mirifica has a high concentration of phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are not hormones, but they do provide the same benefits of estrogen which is the body's primary source for breast enhancement. Phytoestrogens maximize blood flow and estrogen distribution throughout the breast tissue, encouraging growth and maintenance of the breast tissue, firmness and shape. F-Cup Cookies lengthen the milk ducts whilst stimulating and expanding the fat tissues, resulting in firmer breasts. The increase in breast size you gain is permanent, not temporary. A Japanese F-Cup bra size is equivalent to around a UK 'DD'."

they cost 23.99pounds, but i think they're cheaper if u buy from singapore or directly from japan.

yup, they're another japanese invention.

apparently they're quite famous as mel c from spice girls is taking them.

and they were also tested on bbc radio one!



so... would you try something like this??

honestly, i would!

but only if they were much, much cheaper. that way, even if they didnt work, i could treat it as just eating normal cookies! no loss either way! muahaha~

check out the comment for this post, hilarious!!!

pics from here n there

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


minced beef...


and chinese cabbage...


mixed together!

what do you think i made?


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*


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


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


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


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


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




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


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.


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


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


dont these look absolutely diabetic?




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


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!


*excited*




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


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




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


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


so pretty right the deco?

we went to frankie and benny's near stella's place for dinner

stella loves her calamari


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???


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


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


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


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


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.)


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


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




close-up


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


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


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


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


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


a field of daffodils!


and they smell really awesome too!


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.


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


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!


for pics of the birthday dinner, go to facebook! =p
sorry la, but i dont have the pics.


im not sure if this guy was homeless or kicked out...


strawberries drizzled liberally with honey = YUM


i burnt my hand on the stovetop the other day

T_T



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!


from the mixing bowl into the baking tin




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


more mohagany than red


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
