We have a really nice convection (i think) oven at home to which i've never done justice. past baking escapades have always been.. well, lets just say everything used to come out of the oven one colour - black.

Until last week! I was pretty skeptical about the brownies but since some ex colleagues were coming over to bake (and i could share the 'glory' if they didn't turn out well :S), we did! and it was pretty yum, although feedback came later that it was too dry :S.

Anyhow, with that confidence boost, i decided to try apple crumble today:


Not bad right?! hahaha my mom thought it was good so i guess it was really nubbad =) think she was probably relieved that i could make something not half bad haha. although, it is kinda hard to screw up crumble :S

now there are even more recipes i wanna try yay =D carrot cake nexttt =)

side note: had dinner with parents & sis at this Peranakan restaurant today.. super yum! my mom really loved the ngo hiang.. i pretty much loved everything! ayam buah keluak.. otak.. fish maw soup... *slurps* plus i developed this new love for good chilli! heh. tho i think i'm sticking to elementary level chilli for now :S

just this short food-ish update for today =) g'nite!

today i found out that while trying to make sense of a scary amount of words can make you interested in a whole array of other things that didn't interest you before:

1. Reruns of Friends
2. Father of the Bride II (aired for the umpteenth time)
3. 公主小妹
4. 法証先鋒
5. Global Bloxx on the handphone
6. Sleeping

sigh.

hello! i'm back (sorta)

Blogger went all wonky a while back and was a pain to use.

I've also been extremely busy trying to adjust back to student life :/

Work ended on 23rd Oct and school started (after a grand 2-day break) on 26th Oct. As much as I miss my colleagues (thanks v much for the lunch & gifts!), I'm glad I've found some nice people at school too =).

The amount of reading has been unbelievable :| keeping up with all the reading resulted in a very, VERY tired me and i kinda find reading a chore now.. I'll try to persevere though if not I'll regret it later on :S

ok.. back to reading!

Was just trying to arrange after-work errands + dinner with ZY and realised that all my fave shops are scattered all over and cannot be found all at one place =(

Every shopping centre should have a Quiznos, a KOI Cafe, and a Browhaus =D

oh and a DVD shop!

I'm suffering from a bad case of ear wax =( Think water seeped in and caused a huge clog in my ear. I'm now unable to hear properly and it's MEGA distracting =(

hope the prescribed ear drops work

aside, congratulations to K & R on their engagement =)

also, expecting a new addition to the extended family as well! so exciting =)

branch lunch tmr. not as exciting as the above news, but its still a happy thing =D

Finally caught G.I. Joe. =D dunno how come it was so hard to find somebody who wanted to watch it :S its good wat!
