A series of Events


1)

when I started school here, academic results actually meant something to me for the first time in my life. it had been a place stuffed with more possibilities than anywhere else public in Singapore. artistic expression meant not being stopped even if you paraded around school in swimming trunks and nothing else, humping every non living thing in sight. I'm going to miss everything wonderful crumbling peeling and smelly in that dear old place <3



2)

father made me bring the van to workshop. interesting find-out of the day: they don't go under vehicles using sleds on floor anymore! other than that everything else was rather boring . z.



3)

watercolour pencils are The Bomb



4)

this manneqUIN is definitely in one of her better days; at least she is being watched, and not buried under some mountain of cds/books/papers. yes my room is no longer in that terrifying mess. even mr Echo decided to return


/end

later in the night we will watch simpsons the movie. can't believe we even got the same simpsons tshirt to wear because bossini is quite mad, 1 for $23 2 for $26. we hardly ever have anything identical done. sweetness <3

ps. there IS a limit to couple identical-ness, too much just becomes TACKYTACKYTACKY

Breakfast today for mom & I:

...gone in 15 minutes
scrambled eggs with cheese, toast, baked beans. this turned out to be much more photogenic than the chicken stew we had some evenings ago, where the chicken parts, carrots, celery, potatoes and tomatoes turned into a delicious mush after 2 hours of simmering.

and then there is the home made kiwi jam done last night;



I probably should consider using a better camera........

but the lumpy parts in the jam are actually halved apples, put in for their pectin. 15 kiwis, 2.5 cups of sugar, 2 apples, 1 lemon and 1/4 cup of pineapple juice were used. I took a teeny taste of it and decided that kiwi is still far too sharp for my liking, cooked or not. my mom thinks it's tastier and less sugary than the strawberry jam from marks & spencer's though

anyone wants recipes for other stuff just lemme know ok <3

my bf said:
How is live earth encouraging the conservation of energy if the amount of power used for its concert events is equivalent to having 10 houses run on electricity for an entire year?

my mom thought it would not work. sure it was odd dumping spoonfuls of chunky peanut butter into creamed sugar and butter before the other ingredients...

but what smelled like milo and biscuits from the living room turned out to be the perfect show of harmony between sweetness and saltiness despite the skepticism, mine included. you could say it was like eating peanut butter and jelly, minus all the goo and purple. this savoury peanut butter cookie is almost comparable to almond ones!

got a sudden hankering for comfort foods (read:carb&protein) and since I'm done with dessert and snack experiments, probably gonna tear away from good ol' baked pasta with lots of Cheese and Cheeeken and try stew or roast for dinner one of these days...
