if my pa can cook, so can you
Auntie used to bake cookies and cake for relatives and friends on New Year but as years passed by, she couldnt be bothered anymore. One day my dad brought this matter up and she taught him because she still find it troublesome to rush them in time for New Year. Since then, whenever my dad wants the cake, he has to baked himself.
My dad asked me to learn but I told him I dont have any special feeling for baking. Firstly I got no idea when it comes to baking. Secondly, no motivation.
Didnt bother to take the inside, other day la.
This baking session was a trial one, to familiarise with the newly bought oven and to sample the taste of the cake, to catch hold of the texture and stuff, after all it's an on and off affair. I'm gonna collect mine on the 11 Feb and bring it over to the in-law =p
I always make fun of how my cousin takes her pic and so I told her I want to take a pic with both of us making the pouty lips + angle from above.

kapoh-ness flows in my blood.
Am reading Dick Lee Biography but I doubt I can finish on time again. Dont have the mood and so I always prefer to buy one and read when I feel like it. I find no point to rush when I treat reading as leisure. It wont be leisure anymore if I have to stress myself to finish reading within a given time frame right.
I think I am a kaypoh person becasue I like reading biography.

last Bday entry for 2010
My bag dropped off my shoulder but when I tried to catch I suddenly rember about the timer and heng I was in time to pose properly.
We started off with him heading to Wheelock Sakae to place order for 'Yusheng', he used to go there because he knew the manager who worked there but after she left, he said he still cant change the habit + he used to work at the Wheelock branch as well.
Halfway there, saw ION Accessorize was on sale, most their bags and accessories were on 70% off.
One of my plan was to get a necklace.
UP: $27.90
NOW: $8.37
As we were on the escalator, the wall posters were advertising on Mark and Spencer's Grocery Store so I decided to have a look. My eyes opened up as I stepped into the store, so many items on promotion.
I only bought 2 cans of soup, cant expect me to walk around with groceries the whole day, furthermore Wheelock was only our first stop.
UP: $3.90
NOW: $2.90
After which we moved on to Tangs for my birthday claim from him. I decided not to be a 100% stubborn brat and bought Mac Fluidline, it was between this and BobB Gel Liner. Just buy and try first but at the same time I bought Long Wear Cream Eyeshadow, still hoping to find the crayon/shadow effect but at least I'm no longer 100% stubborn right.
No discount but with rebates for Mac cos BobB was from Taka, no BobB at Tangs.
FOC, free for newly member in mailing list, however I forgotten to claim the FOC Origin's 2pc trail set, birthday treat for Tang's member. Just sign up for the rebates with Tangs with any Citibank Card I think, sign up FOC too =)
We were so worried when walked to Taka becasue the sky was turning dark. It was still drizzling after purchasing the eyeshawdow so down to the basement, wanted to check the price for the Jap's snack counter.
$20/box of pinappale tarts, buy 5 free 1.
He said he wanted to get them for my side but I asked him to prepare 3 sets instead of 8 like last year. Although we are stable and if nothing goes wrong, we should be sticking to each other for the rest of our lives but still, it's not nice of him to spend so much and so I told him to 'rest' this year and if next year he still want to give to each family, budget +-$10/family.
Since I couldnt stand firm with my decision when he stopped me from buying the necklace, the initial one on my list, I change my mind about getting it. Now, I confirm getting it provided it's still on sale when I visit F21 again. Bought my shoes from Robinson again, changed it on the spot and threw the old one, saved the troublesome of carry it up and down.
Levis Signature
UP: $59.90
Now: $39.90 + additional 5% off with Citicard
Daiso to get his stuff for office + mine too.
Slacking one hour at Bugis cinema.
From Bugis Push Cart, just in time, needed one by 6 April.
UP: Not available
NOW: $18
The one thing we both looking forward too. He complained about the time I went for the buffet at Carousel, I kept telling him how dinner was different from lunch especially the display of seafood so I brought him to Olive Tree on Friday night, their Seafood Night. 20% off for UOB's Birthday Treat, 3 days before or after actual birthday.
Nothing spectuluar about it but I love the atmosphere, not overcrowded with people. Almost everything consist of prawns -_-" I really wonder why he complained when he's not a seafood person. Still, I find him cute when he's jealous.
I will go back for their,
1) Sambal Prawn. I like the sauce.
2) Roast Beef + Roast Potato. I like it when I covered the garlie bread with the sauce and top it with the beef slice, the potato dices that comes with it was soft, flavoured with not overly salty.
3) Green Curry + Fried Rice. I like it when I mixed the rice with lotsa curry, together with the crackers.
At the end of the day, I ended up with a maid, great bargain and a bloated tummy.

How can I forget my paternal side, bought a cake back in exchange for an angbao and a wrislet.
This blogspot looks so professional, with printed invoice.
Played around with Cousin's Venie shoes, needed some support from the wall, cant balance.
The Kate Spade bag my cousin bought.
The Kate Spade bags my auntie bought.

I am in fact 26years of age!?!
Doing stupid things together.
**************************************************************************
I managed to wake up on time for the Diem Photoshoot, suddenly rememeber I have not replied to Shengyong comment in FB regarding the photoshoot. Although I received calls from Johnboy and sms from Jianquan, I woke up based on my alarm!!!
The few of them came over to my place for MJ, left them aside while I went to take my nap. I was still half asleep when they left, so I just lied on the sofa, the one facing the door, I didnt even notice Johnboy opened the door, it was my dad who shouted, "EH!, I thought you're not coming today?" My dad busted him, he wanted to surprise me.
**************************************************************************
The very next day, I knew he would be sending me flowers when he asked me to to stay at home in the evening because it wasnt his first time doing this. Dont envy, nothing to do with romantic, mainly because he is always busy working so no time to buy nor collect. LOL.
He finally understood after 4 over years. In the past I told him I dont like to receive the same flowers but I received something like this, Pink->Red->Pink. Then I told him, "Buy other types like blue roses, blue roses nice leh." and TaDang~
Side track a little, I always tell him what I like or dont like, what I feel, why I feel that way blah blah, I dont wait for guys to figure out themselves because I might just vomit blood. We communicate so much that I think he's starting to have
And so I told him he can choose to buy me sunflowers or white roses the next time round but not so soon. Kinda waste of $$$ and if it happens too often I might take it for granted and wont go "awww" anymore.
P/s: I might be happier if he had bought the Stitch Stuff Toys for the person to wrap. I told him about this b4.
I got a surprise visit from the few of them. My dad had learnt his lesson, when they reached he didnt make any noise but I heard the sound of the keys so I went out. Ha, I busted them.
He bought cake over as well, from the Icing Room. It was better than I expected, I think I really look down on his creativity LOL but still I couldnt stop laughing when I thanks him for the heart shape and cockroach shits.
