Crash and Burn

had a crash course with a student in preparation for her SATs tmr... it was to be the first and last time for our lesson. Poor Daddy was kept in the dark, i gathered tt he wld slaughter her if he knew tt she wasn't all tt prepared for the exams. Point is tt their hse was situated at Nassim Road, rather near to orchard. and the hse was HUGE!!! i mean HUMONGOUS!!! yesh.. walking from the main-gate to the driveway which incidentally stored 4 cars was already a long journey. btw, i didn't check out the cars coz i figured tt the real show-stopped wld probably wld be out with her dad. haha. so..as i entered the hse, i was completely blown away by the extravagence of the interior designing. THe intricate details and the luxury items. Everything ard me was branded.. i cld swear i felt sooo cheap at tt moment. Felt lyke Ugly Better at her over the top work place at vogue. Totally sticking out like a sore thumb. Oh well.. thank goodness the gurl was a regular down to earth gurl.. to my surprise.. she didn't show any airs and wasn't snobbish at all. In fact we cliqued quite well and were able to laugh and joke bout lots of stuff. We even shared the chocolates from Canele Patisserie tt her Daddy bought for me when he got home. WOW!!! jealous right all of u. haha..

its over
·
oh gosh.. this is so hard to say.. but... IT'S OVER!!! *woopee*... *jumps ard lyke a crazy monkey released from its cage.* haha.
today's aircraft design paper was plain weird. It actually boiled down to who cld fit the most information in their cheat sheet.. which of course was totally absurd. Oh well.. then there was the 'not enough time' factor. haha. Most of us cldn't finish the paper.. but tt was okie. Worst of all.. i had the hunkiest guy sitting in front of me!!! Pontus.. god..i swear he looks lyke Brad Pitt..*drools*. I cld eat him alive with a dallop of fresh whipped cream on the side or without. haha. It gets even worst when he puts on those aviators.. my gosh...*pengz*... now now Sihan..this isn't the way yar...Behave urself... *bleah*
so after the paper, me Claire, Dave and Kianping headed to the movies to catch Spiderman 3! i thought it was a good show. Was expecting better though. haha..
Quote of the day: Aunt May -- 'Uncle Ben wouldn't want us living with revenge in our hearts, it's like a poison. It can take you over and turn us into something ugly. '
so true...so pple..never live with hatred in ur hearts..its an ugly thing...
kk..gotta get back to business with Claire.. we're setting up a joint blog..unified by our immense interest in baking. Oh well.. just stay tuned for more updates k?
Mango Cheesecake

Just for keep's sake. Here's a glammed-up photo of my mango cheesecake, not tt its photo-shopped or anything but it just looks more appealing. hehe.. Only dared to release it online after the reviews from my customer. She said it was reallie good...and the combination was perfect. Finally something to perk me up before my final hurdle! Woopee!!! *put ur hands in the air! like u just dun care!* haha.
hmph..do check out my baking partner's Claire's new blog as well. at http://freshpage.blogdrive.com/ She sells marvellous stuff too. *hehe* plus they are fine eye candy to help u produce massive amounts of saliva... good for pple with dry mouths or parched throats. EnJOy!!! WAHAHA...
cheat sheets
·
Working on my cheat sheet for my last paper tmr. On the verge of screwing up my eyes from having to squeeze the max amount of materials into a piece of paper. Makes things even worst knowing tt whatever i write inside may be just useless in the exam. haha. Oh well..
Anyway..had a weird morning. Woke up feeling very sentimental. Got hooked onto the song ' the way we were' which was featured in the movie 'The way we were' starring Barbara Streisand way back then. I loved the song, it was full of emotions, her begging the guy to give her another chance, her silent desperation... here's a particular scene from the movie tt i reallie lyked. Her acting was just top notch. enjoy... (reallie do hope u guys watch this... its a real tear-jerker)
and of course the movie theme song..which i chanced upon in the form of a piano performance. Its brilliant. Take a listen too..I'm sure u'll have no regrets... I wld kill to have a guy play to me like tt. Perhaps i have soft spots for guys who are good at the piano coz i was never good at it. Haha...
last paper, Tmr. I can smell liberty not far away....
hate this
·
god..now u decide to work.. its another episode of the shitty connection strikes back... i swear i cld kill that son of a b****.. damm it.
was going to tok about the pleasant surprise i recieved this morning. A package delivered by some mysterious person left at my doorstep. In it containing freshly-baked lemon puffs. Sweet..but not i'm too heated to discuss tt... *bleah*
perhaps i shld simmer down a little... anger wldn't help in this situation. I mean..there is not point in being all frustrated and heated up about something as minute as this...
So anyway, popo and er-yi stopped over for tea break today. Wat a glorious spread there was... i cld swear tt there wasn't an inch left on the dining table left untouched. Blue cheese with french loaf, curry puffs, Tea in the finest china tt we have and not to mention my very own freshly baked brownies..still warm from the oven. hehe.
sigh.. they were good albeit for a mini leakage tt occured. But still.. haha..chocolate rulez the day..WAHAHA.
oh yesh..still contemplating how shld i decorate the mango cheesecake in the fridge later. Got any ideas?

crazy-ass timing
·
Gosh.. curse those short afternoon naps tt i took, often they wld turn ard and bite me in the ass, turning itself into a multitude of effects. Firstly, weird slping cycles.. *peeks at clock*..it's already close to 4am and i ain't even feeling the slightest effects of fatigue yet? Gosh..this has gotta stop. Perhaps it wld be better if i quit staring at the computer screen and go relax or something. Been suffering every night due to the multiple dreams tt i have lasting the whole night leading to insufficient quality rest! my gosh..no wonder i find it so hard to concentrate nowadays.
Its a public holiday today anywaz, so no worries. Still fretting over the mango puree tt I had forgotten to purchase leading to my delayed baking schedule. Apologies heading out to the earnest mango cheesecake lover waiting for her cheesecake. *yikes*.. thanks goodness the ordered date is free and easy. Though i just wanted to make an effort to get it done by labor day. Would be pretty nice settling down with a chilled piece of mango cheesecake with family over the holiday. Well..kudos..
Its back to more baking tmr.. plus a wee bit of revision for aircraft design. Erm... who wants to help me with my cheat sheet? *tee hee*..i find it so incredibly hard to pick the relevant facts. In fact everything tt i wrote down for the last paper we used this cheat sheet thingy turned out to be utterly useless. Silly me. *groanz*...
kk..think bed time is here. Dreads.
anyway to my baking partner in crime, claire arh.. wah..ur baking UPs man! haha.. better than me leh.wait for me orh!!!
