And suppose he marries a girl who loves him passionately, is there such a great advantage in that? Often i have observed that it is a great misfortune for a man to have a wife who loves him. She creates the scene of jealousy, she makes him look ridiculous, she insists on having all his time and attention. Ah! Non, it is not the bed of roses. - Hercule Poirot

Quote from "Lord Edgware Dies" by Agatha Christie

a season of cakes

okaaay very belated post but yupps, the following are the cakes i had for my "birthday" season. lolz~ all these cakes in a matter of 3 days! zomg.

First up! the birthday cake on the combined birthday dinner on the 17th of Jan. i henceforth entitle this cake: The-Uncle-Fabs-amazingly-sweet-caramel-with-wonderfully-rich-chocolate-and-nice-crunchy-bits-added-cake!

*nods* it's diabetically sweet. trust me XD the cake is from....eh i forgot =X i'll wait for uncle fabs to supply the nicer photos, that will prob have the name of the shop XD

 

my slice of my birthday cake. XD see the CARAMEL oozing from the centre?

 

not my birthday cake, but something sweet enough to murder. Creme brule from my granduncle's wedding anniversary on the 18th of Jan. the "pudding" part was delicious, the caramel layer was murderous and the ice-cream was the best part of it all. i could hardly finish half of it...lolz

 

a birthday cake delivered via "air-mail". the mint cake from Angie's Choice. the cake is so fluffy~ and the cream is deliciously non-sweet! XDDD

the cake i had in school on the 19th of Jan. so nice of Jasmine to remember that i hated cream XD it's more like a pie but i aint complianing. =P

the final cake~ on the evening of the 19th of Jan. from...BAKERZIN~~~ i loved this one~~~ it's sweet but not overly sweet XDDDD *hearts*

and that's it for the cakes ^^ more food coming up~ (now you know NOT to ask me if i put on weight. *bites*)

i spent a whole afternoon staring at people running into each other and whacking each other with balls. this year's orientation is something to look forward to i guess...at least there's a HINT of yaoi in the storyline (but i think it'll be censored)

when i got home, my dog fell into the pond. laugh die.

Tantei Gakuen Q (Drama) & Kin Iro La Corda

started at 9am, ended at 12.30am. but yupps, i finished the whole drama in a day ^^ the storyline more or less follows the manga, so it's pretty easy to follow. i'd say overall it ain't a bad show, but as usual, i have a few...rants.

what did they do to my bishies~~~*screams in agony* my favourite Cerberus became a...a...snorting ji-ji! OTL he goes "hmmmph" with this chee-ko-pek look at every chance he has...noooooooo *dies* and and and...Nanami...oh what have they done...do they enjoy taking bishies and ruining their images? OTL oh wells. at least Amakusa Ryuu is really loli-shouta~ though i have to say his acting is a tad bit stiff, but still...loads to expect from him huh, he has a really bishie face, that Yamada Ryosuke XDDD Kazuma and Q's actors are not too bad either. trust me, it's just my bishies. OTL.

not bad a story (since they storyline follows the manga rather closely), not too bad a cast either. but i think people who do not follow the manga may find it rather hard to follow the series at first? seems as though they didn't explain quite a bunch of stuff. *shrugs* doesnt really take too long to finish either, i did it in a day ^^

Kin Iro La Corda is a good one. nice art, nice storyline (though i can't compare it to the manga yet) and a good seiyuu cast XD oh, did i mention the bishie heaven? XD yupps, filled with bishies from start to finish~ (and i include the opening and ending themes) XD oh but wait, as with every good news comes bad news...

haiz, Kazuki-sempai is voice by...none other than the seiyuu of Kurosaki Ichigo and Auel Neider, both of whom i kinda...detest OTL oh well, there goes happy bubble... *poof*!

but someone's coming back today~ woohoo~ that makes my day~ XDDDDD think i shall go poke random ppl for fun XDDDD

so much for the festive seasons.

bad omens... bad omens...

bad start to the year = bad omens

sickening festive season this has been, most probably the worst i've ever had...OTL

let's just talk about New Year's Day.
my grand plan for the day was to clean up my room and get on with my revision. unfortunately, the former took up all my time till dinner. so, plan to study, busted.

at dinner, i was shocked to learn that i'll be checking into Ritz Carlton with Fabius. holy cow, is it just me or does that sound horribly wrong. best of all, my grandma said that. somebody please grab a knife and stab me now.

oh wait, the best part of all, i didnt know i'll be checking into Ritz Carlton. until they mentioned it. and apparently, i'll be staying overnight. wow. guess what, i have no idea where in Singapore Ritz Carlton is, nor do i know the check-in time, neither do i know the room size or even my "fellow occupants". hallelujah. talk about being the last to know everything and anything.

oh, and i realised one thing. people only talk to me when they want me to do something. when i start talking, they just leave the dinner table. and i mean when i'm in mid-sentence. holy cow.
i'll just grow into a bitter, mean old snapping baasan one day and you'll know why. laogong, i'll join you in at that coffee table snapping at people.

the one good thing today? my room smells of lavender. time to meditate. ommm.

PS: Xmas wasn't exactly great either. i hate to say this, but i think i miss school. i know, i have no life. don't tell me that already.

photos from phone

dug out some photos from my phone. random shots of random people and stuff ^^

well, my laogong and i played with our food at Ajisen. fun eh. ^^

big (pink) Hibiscus flower. found at the back of the Teppanyaki restaurant at Jurong Hilltop.

dusk, from the road in front of my house. i was bored waiting for guests to arrive, so i snapped some shots. turned out pretty decent i guess...

Oreo!!! damn cute and obedient doggy. he did not even bark for the entire night. and he just sat on Uncle Sean's lap while we played mahjong. dang, i wish he were mine...lolz, Acey got jealous of him. i'm not kidding.

Oreo is a Papillon, a pity his fur sheds, if not he'll be the next breed of dogs i'll rear.

ehhs fun shot. for people who know them, good for you.

nice orchids at the rooftop of some temple in Chinatown. really pretty place ^^

*drools* the lobster i ate. loved the mushroom sauce.

*screams* once upon a time i whined about eating this awfully sweet chocolate cake with a soft center, so sweet that i had to swallow salt to counter the taste. but nooooooo. THIS chocolate cake is DARK CHOCOLATEEEEEE! oh heaven! and the whipped cream is so fresh you can hear the cow go moo! it's vanilla flavoured too! OH MAMA! i love this cakeeeeeee *drowns in drool* imagine the dark chocolate center oozing out in glory...*nosebleeds*

the trees at East Coast Park. went there at 6 in the morning to watch the sunrise. then cycled till our legs dropped off. and my sis crashed into 2 people. hilarious.

Cheese cake at Jack's Place. my sister insisted on me taking a photo. so i did.

Gelare ice-cream cake that Uncle Thomas brought for New Year's Eve. not dark chocolate but delicious none the less ^^

look at the oh so good chocolate ice creammmm! it's 90% ice cream, 5% cake and 5% cream! *squeals in delight*

Photos from Uncle Fabs Part 1

Uncle Fabius kindly contributed his photos, seeing as i have no camera to call my own. so, i koped all his photos on Christmas Day. oh nono, that was not his Xmas present for me. he gave a bottle of Baileys~ wonderful uncle isn't he ^^

Chel chel~ guess who was making her laugh? XDDD yours truly ^^

Chel chel~ in the Pooh dress that Uncle Fabs bought her. hah, i got her a nice pink Chinese dress for CNY. wait till she wears it
