3 Little Pigs + Giraffe
No offense Wenying. Giraffes are very beautiful creatures. Like the giraffe in "The Wild". :) I was about to write wolf but none of us are very wolfish at all... In case the rest of you don't get it, haha, well it all started with a person whose MSN nick is "pien kan te lord chi wit". I DO NOT understand her nick at all. But that's not the point. LOL. So this little piggy asked me, aka another fellow piggy, whether she and some friends could come over to make some tasty treats and mess around with my house oven (no really, it's not because of you guys that the oven dieded on and off. it was gong when I came back from Aus already, so don't go and punish yourselves like that albino monk from the Da Vinci Code. XD). Thus, one bright and early saturday morning, Shi Tian, Sylvia and Wenying cheated my feelings. They didn't tell me got school CCA fair!!! OMG, it's been ages since I've heard any guzhengs playing. TT_TT Am I just too deprived? No. It's because I'm just lazy to play my own guzheng. And THAT's because I so long never 调音 already, and I bet a month's allowance that all the strings are out of tune. XP
Ahem. But I appreciated the white balloon doggy and I will wait patiently for the wonderful dangly earrings that Shitian and Sylvia will SOMEDAY manage to make for me. LOL. We opted to make the honey cornflakes first, and we melted the butter, sugar and honey together in a pot. It smelt SO wonderfully yummy. But it was DAMN hot. Luckily I remembered this before I attempted to stick my finger in. After this, we had to mix the stuff with the chopped almonds and cornflakes. But even then, it didn't taste as good until we ate the honey cornflakes straight out from the oven. MMmMmMMmMmMMm. One cupful of cornflakes = one round around the track. Unfortunately, I think my equation is bound to become extremely unbalanced. HAHAHA. And so begins the story of all my cellulites and extra "beer" belly. But I shall neglect the unimportant issue of fats and proceed to sing the praises of the double chocolate chip cookies we made after the cornflakes. Hehe. They turned out good, even though the oven decided to throw another mild tantrum during the baking. But Wenying had to go for tuition before the cookies, so we bid her farewell (btw, she wore another shirt with a pretty face on it lor, so now we know what sort of shirts she likes, LOL).
While the cookies inched closer to their imminent doom in our tummies (aka in the oven), Sylvia showed me the TJ yearbook. WOW. So little guys in their year, and the previous year as well. And their were so many shots of Pris, haha! After that, Shitian went on to discuss her numerous crushes (as many as there are stars in the sky) and then I found out one of Sylvia's crushes was a classmate I had in kindergarten. That was SO astonishing. :) Too bad I lost my kindergarten class photo somewhere in the murky depths of one of the myriad cupboards in the house...my mum seems to have only kept the photos of my bros... >_> But I know it's not favouritism since I'm her FAVE daughter. XD XD XD Aiyo. I'm still as ego as ever. Friendster is actually quite useful though, now I've realised, for tracking down old friends.
The cookies, when they were done, were still quite hot though, so we decided to wait for them to cool, and went up to my room to hand-make those dangly earrings. Shitian and Sylvia bought some crystal beads and chains cuz they wanted to try making their own jewelry. OMG WTH ROFL. WHO KNEW JUST TWO LOUSY BITS OF METAL COULD BE SO HARD TO MAKE??? We spent, like, more than an hour, and in the end managed to each make only one earring each (except me, I just couldn't be bothered). @_@ I now have a new appreciation for the complex dangling earrings you see in retail stores, and I shall, from this day forth, no longer cringe at their sky-high prices. I would also have no reason to cringe because I'd never purchase them anyway. :P All in all, the day was a success! I just felt more like a pig, but aren't we all? :)
After the other two little piggies went home, THIS smelly piggy went to take a shower, and got shoved into the car immediately after that to go eat curry bee hoon at this impromptu missions gathering thingy. LOL. Managed to play two decent games of Bridge (I make such a SUCKY partner at Bridge...my first game went along the lines of "London Bridge is falling down...") before I got rudely ushered back home. O_O So for the remaining part of the day I just went with the flow, because sometimes the current is just so strong and its not like its gonna hurt you to just float along and drool...
>_~
Hmm. Just realised I forgot to blog about the day before this thingy. Ohwells. And Ashley and Clarisse called to see if me and Adlin wanted to meet at Cathay Cineleisure. But I think Adlin's SIM card is broken or she switched off her phone. WAU. I'm also quite thoroughly broke now, since I took like four neoprints in two weeks. Plus plus plus. ARGHHHH!!! All these small little mites are driving me over the edge!!! One just crawled on my forearm and tried to bite me can. I can almost see it's evil little eyes eyeing me and my pores. *whimper whine whimper whine*
I love giving out prezzies. Giving out prezzies = warm, golden fuzzy feeling.
...is what I said. Savvy?
