Strawberry Cheese Cupcakes!

omgosh omgosh omgosh.

i need to blog about theseeee!





you've got it!!!
STRAWBERRY CHEESE CUPCAKES!!!

have been wanting to make these since ages ago.
since i wrote a process essay for school on how to make these babies.

AND...
i haven't blogged a recipe in awhile...
but this one is toooooooooo yummy not to blog about!
so, needless to say, i need to blog about these!

to start, i got this recipe from Kay Kay, one of the HOTTEST celeb models on earth (im pretty sure everyone knows who im talking about)
(Click here for the recipe)
and she got it from Joylicious, another popular baker blogger person
this is her recipe, but kay kay did some editing to it, and i did minor adjustments to hers
so hereby, i proudly present... MY RECIPE! :)

Here are the ingredients:
For the crust:
15 Digestives crackers, crumbed
Half a blog of butter, 125g? (you can use a bit more, since mine were not sticky enough...)
3 tbs of sugar

For the batter:
4 egg whites and 2 tbs of sugar
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp of salt
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
125g of butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 cup sour cream
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

i didn't make the cream cheese frosting cuz it was sooooooooo good on its own! :)
when they came out of the oven, i was like:
WOAH. Y U SO YUMMY???

my crust of the cupcake was not really crusty (if you get what i mean) since there weren't enough butter to stick them.

okay, here are the steps!

for the crust:

Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.

Mix the Digestives crumbs and butter and sugar and put roughly a tablespoon of it in each cupcake. 

Use your fingers to pack it down. 

Bake in oven for 3-5 mins.

For the batter:

Beat the 4 egg whites and 2 tbs of sugar till stiff. Be careful not to overbeat them, or they will turn watery :S

Set aside.Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside

In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the vanilla and beat with a hand mixer.  Then add half the flour mixture until incorporated then mix in the sour cream

Add remaining flour and mix everything.

Gently fold 1/3 of the egg into the batter until combined, don’t over mix the egg whites or the cupcakes will fall flat. Add remaining egg whites.

Hull your strawbies! Then dice them up and fold into your cupcake batter.

Fill each cupcake about 3/4  and bake for about 25 minutes depending on your oven.

and you are done!!! :)

 

Look at these heavenly, yummy-licious strawberry cheese cupcakes!

ain't you already in loveeee with them???

not only that, the bottom crust... mm-mm!

MAD YUMMY PLEASE.

no wonder im getting fat :(

Warmth, gone.

I finally understand the warmth of family...
Never felt so alone in my entire life.

Both boyfriend and family are away.
Though my older sister is still here, but she isn't home half the time. Promised to have dinner w me and pulled out halfway. Don't give me empty promises please. :(
So it's like I'm literally alone.

Boyfriend went for field camp...
Family went to Taiwan, without me.
Yes, WITHOUT ME.
imagine my devastation. :(
One of my dream places to go since my uni friends kept telling me how fun Taiwan was...
Man! Such a waste I couldn't go with them...
Imagine all the HUGE hot dogs I'm missing.
The amount of shopping I'm not doing.
All the fun from the trip. Sian.

Ohh wells.
But this time, really...
Can emo the entire night talking about how lonely im feeling...
The feeling is indescribable.
I hate being home alone...
So my future husband, if you are reading this, you know what to do. Don't go overseas often okay. Whether for work or not. Hahaha.

And today is only Day 2. How am I gonna survive 5 more days like that?
Boyfriend is outfield till Thu.
And today is Sunday. Gosh.

Burying myself in work.
Sighs.

strawberry cheese cupcakes time?

ever since i've read yankaykay's blog (kaykay.sg), i have been wanting to bake these cupcakes for a really really long time!
http://www.kaykay.sg/2012/10/recipe-for-strawbie-cheesecake-cupcakes/

STRAWBERRY CHEESE CUPCAKES PLEASE!!!
who can deny that these ain't the best combination ever?

strawberry and cheese, both my favourite food. irresistible.

eh.... time, please allow me to bake some yummy cheesecakes please...?

rantrantrant

it's been a longggggggggggggggggg time since i last blogged.
and you know why???

because this is happening to me!







out of all honesty, I always visualized uni education to be like this











 Since they always told me how slack uni life was gonna be.
a lot of free time.
more time to do your research and other stuff.

yeah...
lesson time is indeed reduced...

BUT NO. DON'T BE DUPED.
it's the exact same thing when they said poly life was slack.
SLACK MY FOOT.
i entered poly, and i could barely breathe. but well, i still had time to go out, time for friends, blah blah...
but in uni? it totally sucked my soul out of me.

life of a uni student: we mug and mug and mug everyday.
end of story.

okay. this is gonna be a ranting post.
since i have yet to rant properly for a veryyy long time.
so let me rant, will you?

i have been doing project work. A LOT.
in school...
and i never had a problem.
is it me? or is it that person?
it's just so... square.
no flexibility.
humans are meant to be flexible.
adaptable to changes, whether you like it or not.
SO....
Y U SO INFLEXIBLE???

i don't understand one thing.
and this came about when doing project work, as well.
wow. through project work, i've learnt a lot about humans eh?

sooooo...
here is the question:
why are there political issues existing between friends?
between classmates?
between coursemates?
between schoolmates?
why are people so judgemental?
can't you leave your judging attitude at home for one day? just ONE DAY?

i admit, im guilty of it too. sometimes.
in situations when people annoy me, i tend to be a tad more judgemental.
hello? you are annoying me? i believe i have the rights to judge?
but in other situations, i don't really judge. unless someone alerts my judging sense, or im already annoyed with you to begin with.
otherwise, i don't judge people. at all.

someone tell me please.
is it in human nature?
is it that hard to learn to live in peace with someone?
is it that hard to not judge, at all, unless someone annoys you?

answer me, please?

Baking macarons

Macarons are soooo beautiful.
But I swear they are an angel in disguise.
Don't be fooled by those YouTube videos, telling you how easy to make those macarons are.
THEY ARE NOT.

I failed twice. TWICE.
Was soooo angry, upset. Crying deep down.
The question was: why did I fail?
My ingredients are correct.
I've done everything according to the instructions.
Everything was right.
So... WHY???? :( :( :(

I had a nightmare last night.
One that was soooo real.
Okay. It wasn't exactly a nightmare. It's more of a dream.
I finally made macarons. IN MY DREAM.
I found out why it was soooo hard to make macarons.
1. Macarons are normally made in angmoh countries. Which are cold. And less humid. Unlike singapore.
2. I didn't beat the eggs long enough. I needed to beat the eggs till they are like meringue.

And to make the macarons, these 2 main steps must be correct.

Images of my macarons are found below.
It ain't totally perfect yet, since this is my first successful batch.

Just bake accordingly. And remember, place it in an air con room before baking. And you'll succeed. :)

Much loved. xx

Happy Birthday Wan Ting! ♥ ♡ ♥

Happy 15th birthday my beloved sister! :)
Bought her a birthday cake and spent half the day with her.
Soooo happy. Gonna go shopping with her tmr too! Teehee. Can't wait since its a whole new experience.

Work life balance.
I kinda understand what it means now...

Time vs dreams

I claim that I have no time.
Rather, not enough time.
In actual fact, I do have time.
I'm just overwhelmed by greed.
I want everything.
I want to do my best in everything.
I want a piano degree.
I want a hotel management degree.
I want to work more. To earn more money.
I want to pursue my dreams by working at Tom's Palette.
I want to be part of the sub-committee.
I want a piece of every pie.
The irony comes in when I told my student not to learn so many instruments. Focus on one. And do well in that.
I'm not even heeding my own advice.

I know what's right for me.
What's good for me.
What I can do well.
What I want.
But the problem is, out of all the things I want, which are the ones I can achieve?
Which are the ones I can truly get?
Many occasions, we all want what's good for us. What would aid us in future.
Which is why our parents constantly send us for piano class, for tuition lessons, for enrichment programmes...
But what about living our lives to the fullest?
By doing all of that, would we be living our lives to the fullest?

I know I'm not living my life to the fullest right now.
I'm just surviving.
Like how food is just energy to the body, instead of appreciating the flavour and taste of the food.
I'm living life that way too.
I yearn to live life the other way.
Like the boss of Tom's Palette, whereby I can pursue my dreams. Make the best cupcakes in the world. Be the best baker ever.

But is that enough? Would that keep me going? Can I survive by living on my dreams? Is that even realistic?
It's like living on love.
When in love, two people are blinded by all the other aspects in the world.
They believe they can live on love. That love can overpower anything. And they won't have surviving problems as long as they live on love.
Well, ultimately there is a way out, somehow.
Begging, loaning, borrowing, stealing.
One of the ways... You can still survive eventually.
But would you be against your own morals?

That's how I don't want to live my life.
Pursuing my dreams and forgetting my own morals.
Which is why I'm working so hard.
But that's why I'm giving up on my dreams.
I don't know if I can afford my dreams.
This is so complex. :(
I wish life was easier.

math madness

omgosh. i still cannot believe that i have such HUGE guts to challenge my math Professor today!!!
I must be mad. or something.
please...
he is a PROFESSOR, fyi.

my guts are really huge. gosh.

okay. so this is the question that i challenged him
 Is 4^(1/3) a rational number?
Professor: Yes, because the number goes on and on.
Me: No it doesn't. Look!

Me: If i manually input all the numbers, I would get a full number 4.
Professor: That is the saved number in the calculator.
Me: *frustrated* it's not!!! i manually input all the numbers in.
Friend X: Perhaps the rounding off number gives you a nice number...
Maybe the value does not stop there?

I was a bit doubtful about it. And i need to see it to believe it. Thus, i decided to find a calculator with more than 9 decimal placing to do that.
Voila, Friend X was right!!! :( :(

it was 1.5874010519.........
ohh wells.

Verdict: Professor is right. (PS. Professor is never wrong...)
and i conclude that i officially think too much

*facepalm*

Hectic school + zouk

Omgosh.

Haven't Blogged in such a long time.
Am sick now, so taking the chance to blog a bit.
Hahaha.

I'm down with a fever, flu, cough, headache and sore throat.
Gosh. That's a really long list.
But yeahs. I feel really sick.
Like nothing got to my head at all today. :(
AND I HAVE A FREAKING TEST ON THURSDAY.

Screw it luhs.

But I finally went clubbing on Saturday! :)
Okay. Been to a club.
Didnt really club dance or drink much since I wasn't feeling too good that day.
Like damn hungry and when I was finally full, I felt so bloated. Weird feeling man. Don't know if it's cuz i didnt have a proper dinner.
Whatever. I wasn't drunk anyway. Which was a good thing.
Cuz I get drunk really really really easily. :(
Boohoo. I'm a lousy drinker.

But well, stepping into a club makes me really insecure... Like guys kept staring!
I just kept holding onto my girlfriend's hand. No way am I gonna let it go.
And some girls are like really letting themselves lose.
I had some girls touching me... Like awkward!
I was just totally not used to it.

A few of my first timer friends went maddd though.
They were really really wild!
It was hectic. They drank too much.
One even hugged my girlfriend and didn't wanna let her go when we were about to go off.
Goodness.

Will I go clubbing again?
NO.
Like are you freaking serious??!?!
Okay. I sound like some total nerd now.
But I totally didn't enjoy myself.
I'm not sure is it cuz I'm not used to my uni friends yet. But I was really image conscious...
HAHAHA.
real funny since all of them see me as an Ahlian.
Reputation: ZERO.

Whatever.

Speaking of Ahlian...
I don't understand why people always judge others.

Take a look at this photo.

I hate to say, but I have to agree with it.
People are judging wayyyy too much.
Sometimes, it ain't even your business.

And you do not know me.
Why the hell are you calling me an Ahlian?
Come on!!!

Please know someone, like literally know-know, before you judge them.
Tyvm.

xx

As you grow up, you'll realise that certain things in life change.

Your perception change.
What's important to you change.
People around you change.

Everything is changing.

So think about it, slowly and carefully.
What's important to you now?

I know what's important to me. :)

Return things back to me. Back to how it used to be.

How am I supposed to survive the next few days?

Quickly lost

Today's conversation was so quick. I was lost. Felt so empty inside. I didn't know what to say. Things just didn't sound the same.

I don't know if I'm thinking too much. Or there's really something wrong. Whatever it is, I miss you so. I really do.

I wish things were back to normal. But I doubt that's even possible.

What am I to do?

Crepe buffet with my girls! :)

It's been a longgg time since I headed out with the girls! :)
Super happy to be around them!
I mean, how can you not be happy around the best girls in the world??? :)
too bad chek is too busy. Otherwise full family already!

Since school started, its been soooo busy. no time to meet up with anyone. I needed a break! :( school + all my nonsense = super busy. Sigh. took today to catch up with my girls!

 

Awesome day with crepe buffet! We have been craving for it for sucha long time! Since von bought those  crepe buffet vouchers! Our expectations were pretty high since we knew how crepe tasted like... Maybe except Peify. Don't know if she had eaten crepe before... But von and I were expecting a lot. But vouchers being vouchers, they had a lot of enticing bullshit. Like ice cream with every crepe and stuff. So we were a little disappointed as it was a little different from what the advertisement showed.
It mentioned that all crepe came with ice cream.
BUT WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE ICE CREAM AT THE END OF IT LUHS. :( :( BOOHOO.

So this is the place! :)

ROBOLOTS!!!
Katong Junction, Level 1
(the one that sells bicycles as well) 
Check out their Facebook page! :)
https://www.facebook.com/robolots

-Near Katong 113

It is super far for all of us! Since we all stayed at the North or West. Whew... Long journey. Approximately an hour journey. :(

We were first served tea and some crepe. The crepe size half-sized. So it was pretty small.
It's like high tea. Hehs. Making ourselves feel a little 'atas'.
absolutely love. ♥

But I think von is mad!!!
She wanted to order 1 of every kind. WHICH WAS CRAZY. Though it wasn't a huge selection. In the end, she didn't order like 4 types of crepes. Otherwise, we totally cannot finish man!

I had about 14 crepes in total. Madness.
IM A PIG. :(

My friends liked the savoury ones more than the sweet ones. The savoury ones were really yummy! Roasted duck, salmon, blah blah. It was really refreshing after eating too much of the savoury ones. I really liked it too.

Look at this!

But well, they are a tad too salty for my liking. Peify seemed to lose her taste bud though. She doesn't think it's very salty. I think it's ultra salty. Hahaha. Funny. So it depends on you! :)

I loved the sweet ones! :) but I didn't like the cream cheese in the sweet ones. We dug it out of the crepe in the end. :/ quite funny. Crepe with no cream. Hahaha. The cream cheese was too... Milky, as my friend calls it! It tastes much better without the cream cheese. Maybe they could replace it with maple syrup or chocolate sauce instead. More enticing! Who wouldn't love maple syrup or chocolate sauce right? Strawberry sauce would be great too!
 

The place has really good ambience though. I really enjoyed the surrounding and everything. Some really good toys around there too. Really cool. :)

 
Well, it is a good place to bring your date to, for some light snacks. But since we only saw the buffet menu, so I'm unable to comment on the main menu. There were two separate menus, fyi :) so you could try the main menu next time then!

Since we had vouchers, it only cost us approximately $15 per pax for sweet and premium savoury crepes buffet! :) and $9.90 for sweet only. Additional $5 for top up of premium savoury crepes.

Without the vouchers, per pax should be approximately $20.90. For a crepe buffet, I think it's pretty reasonable... I'm not sure if you have to add on extra $$ for the savoury crepes though. Not a wide cariett, but I think it's sufficient. Both sweet and savoury ones are worth a try! :)

But I sure had fun today! :)
Some camwhore shots below too. ♥

 
 
So next time if you're keen on going for some crepe buffet, you know where to go. :)
You can explore Katong area too! Lotsa food there.

Enjoy people! :)

I wasn't expecting to miss him so much. I thought it would be fine. And I would be fine. But no. I miss him greatly.

And today is only day 3.
Kill me please.

Hate

There is definitely something that you'll hate about someone that everyone loves.

Strong word to use, but very true.

I'm sorry, but that's how life works.

Goodnight.

Compromise

Compromising. It's impossible.
Not for me. Not for anyone with no time.

I think I'm absolutely cruel.
To both myself and him
Why? Why did I do it then?
Am I being v selfish here?

Lost

Finally, im feeling lost.
I thought this feeling will never come back. But yes it did.

Feeling lost ain't the best feeling in the world.
Actually, it sucks.
Big time.

With school starting, im turning from busy to ultra busy.
I keep telling my friends "I will have time for you after work ends".
And work ended.
But Nopes, I don't have more time than usual.
In fact, far much lesser time.

School means project work, self study... And less important things such as social life.
And I don't have any more time to do anything else.
Plus piano... Taking degree at the end of the year.
Meaning I have to put in a lot more effort than usual people.
This isn't easy. Taking 2 degrees at the same time.
Plus my main degree is a 4-year course being squeezed into 2 years.
I CAN BARELY BREATHE.

I need to balance everything. But it's kinda impossible.
And I need to give something up.
As much as I don't want to give up, I need to.
No time. Absolutely none.
None even for myself. For my family.
Where do i fit everything else in?

This left me feeling terribly guilty for the past week.
I don't know what to do.

Praying that everything would fall into place.
Please...

Respect me

Give me the respect I deserve, and I would give you yours.

DIY Dip Dye Accessories

Omgosh!!! :)

I made like the most amazing thing in the world!!!
Those who follow me on Instagram or Twitter, or even Facebook would know that i've been making these!
And I've worn a few pieces out these past two days, some of my students have been asking me where did i buy my accessories from :) feels good to know that stuff you have made are good enough to be sold!

okay. i didn't make it. i DIY-ed.

Below are some accessories that my students said were nice!
Wore this when i went to teach yesterday.
Original piece was entirely black! so i totally revamped this! :)

And this one today! :)
Asked my student if she can tell if i DIY-ed it, and she said no! :)  
im so happyyyy!

 

Wore this too! :) with the above necklace!

stacked two of my DIY bracelets together!

super pretty, i think! im biased, since i loveeee colours + they are pastel colours, so DOUBLE LOVE!!! :) :)

Things you need to make these accessories:

1. Sponge - any kind of sponge. it's just to give the dip dye kinda effect.
2. Some nail polish - main colour preferable to have: WHITE.
   i didn't have white nail polish. So i just made do with all the colours that i had at home! like all the pastel colours. MY LOVE. which is why most of my items are in pastel colours (Thank you Von, for the nail polish that you had given me for my birthday! Great help! <3)
3. Nail polish remover - veryyyy important! because i did plenty and made some mistakes + no nail polish remover, so some were kinda screwed. BUT I FOUND WAYS TO SAVE THEM! :D :D
4. Accessories you don't want/ will never wear/ wanna revamp!
   It would be advisable to use accessories with flat surface - those with crystals are fine, if you like those that you see in the video below. But bracelets are super hard to make.

and this is how i got it!!! :)
i learnt how to make it from this YouTuber! so don't say that i had copied her or something. and no, she didn't pay me to do this either! hahaha.

watch this video and follow her too! she is amazing.

Exactly, this is where I got my inspiration from! :) soooooooo pretty please!
I'm so sorry, I don't have before and after pictures of my accessories, because my before product was too ugly!!! most of them were rusting and stuff. *bleh* but this is the after product!

Some of the pieces I DIY! :)
I just realised, all these accessories were bought in my secondary school days! so long ago please! woah. at least about 4 years ago already man! no wonder they were rusting!

Well, but not all turned out pretty...
This was one of the pieces i had ruined :(
***how i ruined it: too thick nail polish!

i had no nail polish remover, and my bottom layers that were too thick couldn't dry!!! so i had to scrape everything away! what a waste of nail polish! :(

ohh wells! :) i've learnt from my lesson.
so beginners, start easy with flat surfaced accessories. so much easier please! :)
REVAMP YOUR ACCESSORIES GORGEOUS!

hope you've learnt something today!
xx

how many chances can you give?

i would really appreciate coming home, and at least see that my room aint messy. i feel like im in a warzone at work. and coming home? i feel indifferent... i need to feel peace in the house. i need to feel safe. its home to me. not a house. and since you had brought about rubbish, this "home" now somehow feels like a house, and now degraded further to become a warzone.

no one can understand how that feels. no matter what kinda rubbish sister you have, it cannot be worse than mine, i assure you. so you will never understand how i feel, despite what im telling you.

i wanna take a photo of my room now, after much talking to her and telling her to pack up my room. its still messy, but its not in a shit state. and you will be like: are you sure someone did any packing here? and nopes, i wont be surprised if you asked me that...

i swear on my life that it had been exhausting as hell living with my sister.

it wasnt so bad before... but its terrible now.

she gives me nothing but trouble.

i swear, she is the kinda person that will die on the streets and you wont be surprised she had died. i know, that isnt very nice... but its really annoying. why? because you kinda will expect someone to kill her for how annoying she is.

we fight about everything. we just dont get along like we used to. and i aint the only one that fight with her.

our habits changed, character changed, everything changed prsctically.

i mean, its fine. people change. but i cannot tolerate if people lie to me. about something, about nothing... for the littlest things in the world. why must they lie?

lets just take an example of what she lies about:

"i did not take your rubber band!"

yes, poor innocent girl being accused by me of taking my rubber band... hello? proof and evidence that you obviously took it because all of them are found near/ umderneath your bed! its sucha small matter. cant you just tell me you took it???

honestly, honesty is the best policy...

or "i did not take your book"

ohh yeah, you didnt. it just magically disappeared out of my cabinet and opened flat out on your bed. excellent work! magic!!!

dafaq? im not that stupid please.

not being a caring elder sister is fine. i can live with that.

but being a nasty sister is another thing.

i dont know how to put this, but i dont wanna be like her. for sure.

i cant act in front od everybody and tell them that im fine, and thay things are perfectly fome between the both of us.

NO. 

i will not and shall not do that. not anymore.

ive tried, and failed miserably.

i feel like im cutting myself up, thats all.

I hurt myself far too many times...

♥ My Birthday Celebration ♥

okay! :)
time to be a little hardworking and blog about my birthday events!

it's the most memorable event EVER, i swear!

that night before my birthday, he was absolutely sweet!
he came down to my garden and look what he brought me!

Yes, an absolutely amazing strawberry cheesecake that he had made for me! :) (i just finished it!)
super yummy! omgosh.
even my brother says it's amazing!!! words of a guy... you'd better believe it.

and looking at this reminds me of how he and his mum are sooooo similar with one another!
they bought practically the same gift!

 just different colours!
but i totally love both the colours!
both are in my favourite colours!!! omgosh! so happy when i saw them!
now i don't bear to use them...

ohh well. he came to find me before 12 because i was super tired and was gonna fall asleep.
then he called me, and told me to come downstairs.
at first, i didn't see him.
and when i did, i saw him carrying so many things!!! AHHHH! :)

happiness! ^^

okay. so on the official day, we first, went to Kushinbo for lunch! ♥
(for those that don't know what Kushinbo is, it's a Japanese buffet with FREE FLOW sashimi (raw fish - my absolute favourite! ♥) and many other Japanese food.)

I LOVEEEE JAP FOOD, FYI. ♥ ♥ ♥

so we were camwhoring on the way to Great World City!

we headed to the Great World City branch AND LOOK AT THE SPREAD!!!

Okay, this plate looks kinda gross cuz EVERYTHING is on it! I was too excited taking my first plate!
But look at those prawns... and scallop! (He doesn't like scallop, so i get EVERYTHING!)

There were a lot more food but i was lazy to take photos of it... hahaha. was busy stuffing myself *guilty*

and we were too full after the main course, so i started to camwhore so that i could digest some food and make space for my dessert!

five shots with him! ♥

and one of me! :)

OMGOSH. he is kissing me!!! ♥

messy hair, but i don't care!!! cuz it's my birthday! :)

okay, but the food wasn't all.
there were DESSERTS!!!

this fondue counter was right at the main entrance, and when i first stepped in, MY EYES WERE SET ON IT. it was beautiful! :') i wanted it! sooooo bad.

chocolate coated strawberries. chocolate coated marshmallow. chocolate coated grapes.
my life is perfect!

and did you see all the other desserts!!!
the mousse cakes were absolutely yummy! i just didn't like the orange ones... cuz i don't like orange. hehs.
but everything else, yummy...

there were even pieces of chocolates there that i was enjoying...
don't know why, but he wasn't craving for chocolates. ohh wells. don't care! i was enjoying it all by myself! yums!

and after the buffet, i felt 10kg heavier!!!
woahhhhhh.
and we went to watch batman! again! the second time im watching it. i love batman! SO HANDSOME. woah. when he turns around and flicks his hair... hot man!!!

and then was dinner with my family!
we went to astons, cuz i couldn't think of anywhere else that we didn't eat before. actually, there is this jap food place... but i had jap for lunch. jap for lunch + dinner = ??? better not risk it!

my siblings bought me a cake! :)
when my bro called me, he asked me:
Bro: eh, what cake you want uh? Chocolate hazelnut, Green tea or Black Forest?
Me: ... uh...
Bro: the chocolate hazelnut looks veryyyy nice. the black forest looks not bad. the green tea is... green tea luhs.
Me: uh... okay. (i was thinking of getting the green tea cake already, since i like green tea.)
Bro: Can we get the chocolate hazelnut cake? cuz it looks really nice luhs! i think the black forest one okay-okay only... and i don't like green tea. so chocolate hazelnut can?
Me: *stun* okay. can

LOL. he had already decided! but he still called me. super cute please! -.-

but super happy dayyy! :)

DAY 2
Omgosh!

had a pleasant day at USS! :)
didn't really like it though... because i thought that it was far too small! :(
like Disneyland in HK was far more awesome that USS here! was kinda disappointed cuz it was sooooo small! and ain't as pretty as Disneyland!
but it's alright... :) great experience with him!
i ain't ever going again. cuz it costs $60++, so not worth it! -.-"
