back to food and nutrition lesson...

hold your breath.... my foresty looking charlotte cake coming up......


baked this bday cakey for naz's bday! prettily messy! haha.. but i must say the lady's fingers sucks..don't really like the taste of it...so next time i'll replace it with toasted almond flakes instead. heh. kiasu me bought double portions of all ingredients.. and my cake ended up bigger than expected! haha.. still got 750g of choc spongecake mix and a whole carton of whipping cream left..wondering what to do with it... ~ super improvised,lazier version of the recipe courtesy of happily baking mrs kuo.. ~

think will bake a choc sponge for my colleagues or something. really liked the taste of the cake...nice fluffy and chocolatey.. yum. actually you won't believe how much of the cake I ate... 2 spoonfuls! somehow stuff that i make i dun like to eat... hahahah. i offered some to zhe and sharon san and the rest naz brought home...

met up with zhe and sharon san at zhe's place for a supper feast...zhe made dumplings for us which was simply oishii with chilli oil and vinegar...and me and sharon san dabao chicken wings, osyter omelette and satay from chomp chomp....

Ate till we drop. This is life.

had a really fun but tiring weekend.

Joined naz’s colleagues at Bedok Reservoir for some Forest Adventure thingy. 25 bucks for a 3 hour obstacle course on the trees, climbing, balancing, tarzen swinging and tried out my 1st flying fox! 4 sites to complete and we get from site to site through a flying fox! So cool… flying across the surface of bedok reservoir…4 times somemore. Really worth the bucks. Had always missed OBS (outward bound Singapore) activities…loved the outdoors and behaving like monkeys once in awhile.

Sunday was crazy..dragged myself up at 5.45am and headed to office to help out for the charity walk @KPE. People streamed in way earlier than we thought and we had no time to set up our registration booths properly. Instead of trolleying the goodie bags, we had to lug the bags to the bus bay to give up to participants. Aching arms while typing this.
Amused myself by taking loads of pics at the tunnel....heh.

Met up with babu n ahmad at j8 for ktv session..without maria..again! maria..can you take care of yourself please. Onegaishimasu.

Cried for 1 hour watching Corner with Love before going to bed. Love the show leh… the dialogue is like so good and the chemistry between bigS and xiaozhu was amazing.

mRs kuO...since u so free...maybe can bake less and watch corner with love。。转角遇到爱

cartoon-ING

I just signed up for a cartooning course! Only 4 lessons organized by my company’s staff club..the cartoonist is from comixguru.. err..dunno what’s that also la. Anyway, it has always been my childhood dream to learn cartooning but never had the motivation to borrow books and self study.

Sometimes, I think I’ve made the wrong academic choices man. Should have studied like arts and graphic or something.. now so old liao then spend extra time and money learning macromedia flash, photoshop and then cartooning.

Erm.. then again, can’t dismiss the fact that interest is one thing and having a flair in your interest is another. So taking them as a recreational activity might not be so wrong afterall in my case.

Hopefully can upload some of my cartoons soon!

Involved in the Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) opening cum Charity Walk A Jog this sunday. It better be fun lor. Imagine having to drag my energy deprived body to office by 7.30am…on a supposed-to-be-lazy Sunday morning.. can’t imagine. The event will end only at 2-3pm..

Caught sight of the Orchard underpass wallpaper for the KPE teaser..looks pretty cool!

I love TCC~

i'm a macromedia flash expert now! haha.. ya..like real mochi san. I kowtow to all those animation professionals out there... animations is really way out of my league!!

the 2 days course proved that flash is just not my cup of tea.. haha. interesting la...but i've forgotten like 80% of what i've learnt.. -_-

besides the sucky tea breaks there.. imagine..pathetically puny gross siew mais (1 per pax only..not enuff to go round pls) and khong Guan plain crackers... for morning and noon tea respectively... how much worse can tea breaks get. sigh...

had dinner @ TCC.. both me n naz concluded that we really liked the food in TCC. I ordered the mushroom bites... which was dam oishii.. and some spice chicken thingy.. naz's seafood aglio olio wasn't too bad too. the shocker came when we ordered the cake... the guy asked if we wld like a scoop of icecream to go with the cake.. so we ordered since naz decided that I wasn't going to eat much of the choc cake plus it was only $1.50 and like who would mind a scoop of ice-cream..?!

.. and as we ate it..the taste started getting familiar... naz said it tasted like magnolia ice-cream.. i insisted that TCC wldnt serve magnolia.... and i was like dead sure. so we asked the waiter and yep. it wasn't magnolia.... but marigold. we were close la.ha.

TCC serves marigold ice-cream!! omg... just ruined my beautiful impression of them....sigh.. all good things come to an end...

but the service there is really good...smiley and prompt staff.. so guess i'll just have to get marigold out of my mind... I love TCC!

~Mrs Kuo...really gotta take my hats off ur culinary skills... u really love to cook and can cook... ur charlotte cake looks dam pro...droolz!!~

a picture tells a thousand words

Pics grabbed from kei's blog... mummies are always armed with cameras.. domo ne. Taken at Suting's wedding at Goodwood Park..food was really quite good. Suting looked gorgeous in her flowery gown and a huge retro flower on her nicely bunned hair. will upload the pic if she sends us her pics...

~mochi san with jane's bb phoebe~

~Wenhao, Suyi and Florence!~
~was pretty shocked when they reserved a seat for me beside xiao4 zhang3! -_- ..Thanks ah friends..heh. she still looks the same though it's been 10 years since we left st nicks. Beside her is Mrs Lee with her husband. She's the principal of Nan Hua Primary now! woah.. oh.and xiao zhang is a counsellor for RGS.. yups. updates updates..~

~a pic of naz's kitty. She's called Neko, meaning "cat" in jap. hah. never like cats but thought she looks really relaxed in this position. cats also know how to nua..~

3 hours of nothingness.

I'm sitting here
Awake, for the time being
Witnessing the exchanging of jargons across the long cold table

I'm glad I'm just silently sitting here
Invisible, most happy to be
Drifting in and out of the information stream
So foreign indeed

I feel the minutes tapping my wrist
Increasing beat as the sun rays seeping through the blinds diminishes

Thoughts wonder
Remembered the new sport I took up
Pilates, to breathe and relax is all that it imparts
Patience is up
Cardio is the way to go
Atas exercise is my foe

I'm still sitting here
Rounding up is going on
Feet tapping
For weekend is finally here
