OHMYGOSH. I LOST MY POST THAT TOOK ME AN HOUR. Shall try to recall what I typed. So here it goes...

Having a little of a mixed feeling now.

WHATEVER.

Went for grocery shopping with my parents today! Absolutely loooooooove grocery shopping with my parents case I always end up with good food! :D Swang by laoban to get some TAOHUEY! Bought all my baking ingredients today and probably shall bake tomorrow! Oh I still have yet to buy vanilla extract though. Shall go cold strorage in the morning then bake in the afternoon. And I'm gonna bake something simple and easy. -coughs- Afterall I'm a very new baker -smiles innocently- and this is a really busy period for mummy so I don't wanna bake complicated ones and then she'll go crazy after cleaning up my mess. HAHAHAHA. No matter how much I try to clean up, my mum will still somehow help me in it. So yeahhhh. And the current maid's gonna go home soon while the new maid comes in so it's quite a hectic period for the maid my mum and my dad. I guess..?

So I decided on what to bake only in the morning and then I was told to come up with a list of ingredients that I'll have to buy cause parents will be going out in the afternoon, as mentioned above. And no joke, it took me an hour to come up with it. Yeahhhh was being super precise like when some recipes gave me for example "8 tablespoons of butter". Like seriously?! Who measures butter in tablespoons?? At least I've not heard of such a thing before. So had to convert from tbsp to grams. And then there some some like cups to grams since I didn't wish to over buy and usually the ingredients that you buy only mention how much does the product weigh. And then as a new baker, I was rather confused with the many kind of different flour sugar whatnots. So I had them all googled like "Can plain flour be used in place of all-purpose flour". Yes and I've learnt that Confectioners = Powdered = Icing sugar. And Castor sugar is more coarse than the former but finer than Granulated sugar, which is also more commonly known as table sugar. And then unsalted butter is used in preference to salted butter because unsalted butter has less salt contents which makes it a butter that is more fresh. And fresh ingredients = fresh baked product = higher quality food. HAHAHAHA. BET YOU BAKERS OUT THERE MAY NOT EVEN KNOW SOME OF THESE FACTS! :P Just bake for fun rightttt! Yes and vanilla extract is more attas than vanilla essence cause the former is really extracted from vanilla pods while the latter is produced by chemicals. Vanilla extract therefore gives a richer and fuller taste while vanilla essence is more watery. :) BOOYA! Did my homework ;) LOLOL. What talking me. WHAT HOMEWORK. OS OVER DI. :P

Oh yeah. Talking about project pack table and start making Christmas cards, progress up till date: PROUDLY ZERO. HAHAHAHA. :P

N: A game of Running Man anyone? (:
L: OMG. i didn't know Nazira's into running man.
N: !!! ms lee, really?! i'm hurt... )':
J: OMG MS LEE. Come join us and play too!!!
L: Haha. Nazira, I'm just trying to imagine you amongst your classmates. You'll probably be calmer than them, like Peaceful Gary. haha.
N: .... Hohoho. I'll be like Blank Jihyo, but not Ace Jihyo. And Gary is not peaceful!! xD
J: ms lee ignore sia. sighs.. STRESS.
N: Ms Lee said she's not playing. Met her ytd at Jurong Point. Instead, Mr Koh is playing. oh i forgot to add. Mr Koh said, "I'll be playing/sitting with a bazooka".

This is really cracks me up espeically when I've just finished watching a funny episode of running man. xD Peacful Gary, Mong Jiyo, Ace Jiyo, STRESS AND MR KOH. HAHAHAHAH MYGOSH.

Heading

My... whole body... aching so much. Back aching, arms aching, knees aching, neck aching, legs aching, ankles aching. Susah lah.

Celebrated grandma's birthday today. Limped so awkwardly around everywhere. Prashat asked me if I wanted to work for 7.50/h but mum disallowed me cause she doesn't want me to work at mbs... Okayzzzzzz. But so broke now. Need to earn some money. Yeah, I'm going for the attachment at Singapore Mint, but that's only gonna happen next year. I have to fund all the outings that I'm gonna go during post Os and all the baking ingredients (which ain't cheap at all). Not as if they will sponsor me. And even if they do, I don't feel too good about spending their money. Parents' money. Oh yes I did mentioned I will bake after Os right. :) Seriously can't wait! Hmmmmm... what should I bake?? Red velvet? Choc/nutella lava? Actually not so much of what I'm baking but I like doing the decos on the cake itself :) Much joy to it for me. Collected a lot of designs before Os and have been wanting to try them after Os! xD

Oh yeah, and lesson learnt from last year: Start making Christmas cards one month before. Especially when I usually give out 20+ cards annually. On other years I usually mass buy cards and just write on them. But since I'm a sec 4 this year and it means super free after O levels, I decided last year that I would hand make Christmas cards this year! Get stuffs from paper market and snip away! ^^ And I found out that paper market has opened an outlet at vivo which is like superrrrrr convenient for muaz. :D Shall start making them tomorrow!

They say that the sky is at its darkest right before the sun rises. That's why no matter how dark it is, you cannot feel afraid. As long as you wait patiently, the sun will rise eventually. Because the closer you are to darkness, the closer you are to seeing the sun.

OUCHHHH. :(

이거 봐... 너무 무섭다 :(

P.S.: If you were wondering, that's my right knee.

Post Os!!

Gonna sleep after this post! So prom's finally over and went to ice skate with teens today! Mission to learn how to skate was successful but I fell like so much more times than my first time skating x.x Yeah that's cause my first time skating was spent holding the wall. But this time I totally didn't hold the wall and left myself to die. Both elbows and knees all bruised and a blister from today's skating was worse than my first time skating. pic.twitter.com/BAmc1zoG How bad myright knee is. -Edit: All those red last night turned black... x.x- Oh yes, and because of the blister, I couldn't bathe carefully. Ended up slipping in the bath x.x Ouch... Hit my head against the shower door. Aiyo... I sound like an old woman right :( But okay lah, not that bad. But maybe because of the slip thats why the whole knee is red now. :/ Yep, it's swollen.

Thought I was really underdressed for prom the moment I set foot on Amara hotel. Like, all the girls were with so much makeup and... I don't know, they just looked super ready for prom. And I'm all like... HAHAHA. Nothing much on me. I even forgot to wear earrings cause I was in a rush to meet up with the girls! :P So then went up to Christine's room to have some eyeliner drawn and some mascara done. That's all for my makeup! :/ Yep, doesn't it sound underdressed? :( And my mum brainwashed me (again) that my hairstyle was really messy and it wasn't nice. So I went to Amara with a :/ heart. But then some friends said my hair was very nice so I went :D HEHEHEH. So dangerous, I'm so easily influenced by my mum -.-

Anyway, undoubtedly, the photo-session during the prom was the best part. These are the few that I picked out from my collection in my phone. Waiting for the others to upload. :)

Miss this girl. Think she's in China or something now. :P

Ten years of friends! Nicholas: 2 years of same chinese class, 2 years of classmates. Shaowen: 4 years of classmates! :D

 

이 오빠 최고! Though I haven't known him for a very long period of time and we don't really talk much but he alwasy treats me like his precious little sister. :D Such a hard friend to come by. :)

This non-existent friend :P HAHAHAHA. Didn't realized we were from the same church since birth till like this year only or something. P.S.: Daniel's another non-existent friend that I realized we were childhood friends from the same church who recognised each other only at the end of sec 3 but photos of us are not being uploaded yet.

 

Nazira shot this while I was waiting for Diana to be done with her make up.

 



 

At the end of the day when I removed all those pins in my head! Some curls there :)

 

Intended to post this entry at 1 am before I go to sleep but dad suddenly cut off my wifi supply and I couldn't upload the photos via my phone's hotspot so I specially painstakingly woke up at 8 to post this before (I forget later and) I go back to sleep again! :)

 

Goodnight! 

 

 

 

Look at the sky!

Hello hello. I bet everyone's like already busy preparing for prom. But what am I doing? I'm still watching dramas. Actually no. I've just finished watching this drama Heading to the Ground. Apparently it's a drama with low ratings. Probably because the plot wasn't so intense and rather mild. Not dramatic enough..? But honestly I liked it. Even the ending. Though the lead names were... LOLOL. Rather old fashioned. :P

Hahahaha sounds like I've got a lot of time yeah? Like it's almost 3 and I've done absolutely nothing in preparation for prom plus I'm here blogging. Hehehe. Oh well I guess mummy has brainwashed influenced me that prom is not such of a big deal. After prom so what? There's still prom in jc. (Yeah for those who don't know, I've decided to go jc if the Lord wills) And after jc prom there'll be errr... company dinners if I start working (..?) So life still goes on and sec school prom is just one small segment in life. I don't see a major need to put all my effort in preparing for it. :P But then again, it's a once in a life time thing. Like some people don't even get a chance to attend sec school prom (psst, my poor brother who's an IP kid). Oopsie. Meanie sister. :P So that's why I'm tapping on my whole year's savings for prom. :) A portion lah. Heheheh. Good enough for me. A decent dress and a pair of decent heels.

Can't want for tomorrow's outing!! ^^ Though I hope I won't bump into any css-ian. -mission impossible- sigh.

Alright bye!
