just feel like typin some stuffs here.. hmm till now still feel as if - so many things to do, so little time.. lol.. i have been saying there are a lot of things i need to do from dunno how long ago.. haha and over time i still dont feel that the pile is decresing.. lol.. can see how inefficient i am.. or maybe cos new things keep surfacing..

let me see... recently i realised i have been making a point to eat chinese food.. avoid western food.. lol.. cos i know in less than 1 mth i wont have the chance to eat the usual yummy chi food like chee cheong fan, hor fan, char kway tiao, even just the normal cabbage, liver, ginger chicken, kang kong that my dad cooked for dinner just now.. ooh yum.. eat all i can when i still can.. lol.. just like this afternoon when i went sheng siong with my dad to shop for ingre.. i suddenly had the craving for cream crackers.. haha.. so i bought it! used to eat it very often last time.. a bowl of hot milo, with crackers..=) simple but sooo nice..

these few wks i have to try finishing all the cha pa lang baking ingre that i bought last time.. like crisco, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, icing powder, vanilla, pandan, banana essence.. haha i always buy new stuffs just to bake that one cake/pastry.. then i chuck it there for wks.. buy new ones again when try baking other stuffs.. so the shelf there is like full of stuffs.. earlier just now i used finish the remaining choc chips.. to make choc muffin.. used up some more of crisco.. (but this time added too much, or shld say didnt try to be 'healthier' by reducing it) then in the end it was quite oily that i resorted to using kitchen towels to suck up any excess oil.. haha so contradicting.. just last wk i was still boasting that i made a nice banana cake without using any butter, replacing all with apple paste.. healthy version.. but tastewise still not bad.. then now i made so oily muffins.. lol.. luckily not much.. oh.. i just rmb abt this.. i bought a new bottle of cocoa powder.. new one again.. haha.. oops.. how to finish the stuffs like that ar.. oh ya still got yeast, gelatin to finish.. hmm.. headache..

oh well.. moving on.. i need to make a list as to what to buy for this sat's steamboat and my own family's one.. have been saying shld list down since like last wk.. but still being lazy.. ok.. i'll do it tmr.. and really i need to start packing my clothes into my luggage.. backpack.. oh shucks.. just recalled have smth to finish doin also.. ah.. saw the chi variety cook show just now at 8pm.. channel 8.. where the chefs were making some cny delicacies.. i saw the 'yu sheng' made of all fruits.. rock melon, honey dew, mango, pear, strawberry with salmon and the yummy crispy cracker.. so tempted to try makin this version of loh hey.. lol. seems very nice.. and refreshin.. thinkin when will have to chance to try.. maybe some day next wk..

sian.. like getting a bit sick.. blowing my nose since ystd.. throat feels a bit sore.. i think its my body tryin to fight a virus or smth.. after a few days will be fine again..=) hmm i also need to compare the itinerary for both O list.. think of when to change more currency.. when to get bank draft.. eh.. finish makin cny deco.. blah blah.. haha.. i shld really stop complaining.. so not me.. lol.. and i shld spend less.. since now i not earning le.. oh i need to get a new hp pouch also.. still thinking if shld get one with 1 or 2 zips.. whether to put my hp and earpiece tgt or separate compartment.. or shld get a sock type that hugs my hp.. will be gettin my new com soon.. this thurs..=) macbk.. haha.. then whats left is to get a new cam also.. and to organise all my stuffs, get used to mac the next few wks..

haha.. it was my bro's b-dae ystd..! my mum took whole day leave to fetch kor back from his ippt test in the morn.. but despite being his special day, luck wasnt with him.. during the standing broad jump, he sprained his waist area.. in the end he couldnt finish the 2.4km run cos of the pain.. a pity! that means he will have to retake again.. again! lol.. anyway.. at first i booked badminton court 3-5pm ystd for our whole family to play, but kor cant play cos of his injury.. sian.. supposed to be a whole family game.. but he cant join..

haha anyway.. we still went tamp safra as usual, slightly b4 3pm, put up the net.. and started playing.. my dad and mum are pro man!! i must stress.. lol.. i am so so sooo much lousier than them.. when they versus each other i can see the shuttle go back and forth all ard the court, the speed, the hitting sound.. haha.. honestly i was very amazed.. maybe cos it has been a while since we last played tgt.. so i kinda forgot how good they were.. it spurred me on though.. to make sure i improve!! lol.. i must really go and prac all the techniques, like back hand, foot steps, chop.. smth like that.. need time.. hmm.. but lucky me i can just consult my parents.. heez.. when i play with my dad or mum, my score is like 21/9, 21/10.. once 21/17.. maybe cos my mum tiring le.. after playing for quite a while.. no matter what i will definitely have more stamina cos im younger.

after the game, headed home, picked my elder bro.. and soon we were off to our dinner place, seafood international, at big splash..! haha that place was great! kinda interesting cos we have to walk to the tanks there to pick what seafood we want.. i luv the kailan with fried crispy golden mushroom dish! and the cheese baked seafood beancurd.. though they were the cheapest dishes out of the others we ordered.. but i still enjoy eating them more.. haha ironic..=p oh i liked the taipioca dessert also! with the coconut cream.. hmm.. lobster i still dont really know how to appreciate much.. its nice but i still find it not really worth the amt..>.<.. a wonderful dinner with yummy dishes, but which burns our pockets also.. LOL.. jiu jiu yi ci can lah.. for special occasions.. shld go!

i passed the card i made for my bro and gift to him after dinner..=) a gift that i was sure he will 100% like.. lol.. on the way home he commented that this card will be the only card that he wont throw away.. thats all i need! haha..=p

well thats abt it.. 9 jan over.. today is sat, 10 jan.. a new day.. still a lot of stuffs to settle.. of which as usual i still quite lazy to start.. hmm.. oh well.. maybe tonight.. oops..
