before i leave

Before I leave...

Just for you a guys, that's how i looked like with my drug allergies. I swore my face was on fire and I had to endure the burning sensation of a thousand ants nipping around my eyes. Trust me, my eyes were so swollen and my face puffy that it was even hard peering at the world thru those tiny slits. Thanks Dear for standing by me whilst i looked like a living freak. Your presence comforts me.

It is also my fortune that I've gotten to know about the drug allergy now rather than whilst some medication adminstration during an operational procedure. Then I would run the risk of cardiac arrest which would only lead to some fatal effects; especially with my asthmatic history. Thank you Lord.

Some other random photos taken during the day, we went to sunset to get our hair cut. No, not me.. Just the two brothers. Weiquan a no. 4 and Kor a no. 1. Now i totally understand the lingo yar! Perhaps one day i'll get my locks chopped off as well. Certainly must feel liberated to have all your hair shaved away. Just a notion people... no intentions yet. hehe.

My brother is enlisting tommorrow by the way. Must be a pretty nerve wrecking experience for him and my mum. But I'm just laid back and chilled. It can't be that bad yar. Especially if he's just in the administration line? MOreover, I'm heading to Australia tommorrow. No point worrying now do I? *sniggers*

We settled for a nice take out dinner provided by the lovely sisters Mum and Er-yi. Sushi and Sashimi courtesy of Daddy. All was good apart from the gargatuan portions offered at the table and the weird fusion of cusines that somehow didn't go down so well for me. One moment you're slapping a piece of salmon belly in the soy sauce, the next, reaching out for piece of that crispy wedges across the table then you are gobbling down a slice of hard crusted bread slathered generously with blue cheese? Ain't it all a little strange?

Still, the spread was not one to be missed...

Last but not least. the last order before my long absence from the baking frontier. De bijou de la nuit ( a.k.a jewel of the night); a lovely request from my customer for fathers day. Caramelised bananas sandwiched between rum soaked chocolate sponge covered by the glossiest bittersweet glaze with a wall of decorative sponge and crowned with a bundle of strawberry kisses.

So whilst i ponder about the long list of things I have to fulfill by tommorrow, I wish everybody out there a pleasant night filled with nothing but the sweetest dreams...

Till we meet again...
