i was feeling kinda bored on a sunny saturday morning.
this is very unbecoming. post exam syndrome? HAHA.


fri night was well spent, catching up with old friend aka slacker: wanching. hehehe.. as usual cherlyn did the planning while i did the driving.



at ice cube!


cherlyn likes this photo. maybe cos the lighting makes her look less round :p




:)









wanching had overdose of chocolate: brownie with chocolate ice cream
cher and i shared waffle with two scoops of ice cream! :D vanilla and maple walnut.
shiookkk. but the service quite bad. yikes

saturday night was fortunately better cos twan booked out only on saturday late afternoon. went out in the evening for dinner at botak jones! my first time there. reasonable price and good food!

<3

--corrine

first i need to clarify something. i nearly became cherlyn ho's 94th victim at the couple seat. (*insider joke)

feel like singing a song now man... destiny child's "I'm a survivor".

LOL.

today was a rather stark contrast from blatant slacking yesterday. rise and shine the twins drove to ECP for yet another alone time together. i think our candlelight moments are spiralling out of control. i even thought of buying a candle to add to the ambience during our mealtimes.

haha. anw i drove to ecp and we had vavavoom plan to complete alot of distance.. say 21km! bad news is that we didn't bring water along with us. by the time more than halfway through it... saliva practically evaporated. cher admitted that her running became some kinda trottering cos knee cap cock up. lol. mine cocked up later than hers :p lol. the magical moment came when we saw a WATERCOOLER in some sailing club!

omg we were like 2 hermits in sahara desert. immediately galloped and survived :D then after that our legs were so crying for stop. so we had to walk... and OMG.. the walking back was neverending. i was so amazed how far we ran during the "to" journey. the "fro" journey was bombarded with questions from yours sincerely: "are we reaching?", "how long more?"

the pig told me to answer myself with a big fat NO. how encouraging.

haha. but anw the legs were working and the mouths licking to find some saliva to quench thirst.

driving back was hilarious. the pig decided to let me rest and she take the wheel instead. then scully kept asking me to turn right/left. omgggg. i was like giving her prototype answers :"go straight"

very helpful i know. almost landed us in changi airport if not for the pig's rebellion. lol. she made a turn and we detoured :D petrol level was crazily low omg.. the pig was squinting about how scared she was if suddenly no petrol -.- damn gabra i tell you. haha. after pumping petrol, i decided to take over from the nervous pig.

then a miracle happened. can i sing that mariah carey song again ? ;) oh yea back to the point, the pig suddenly turn into some sort of educated pig. stopped oinking nonsense and started suggesing reasonable directions.

home sweet home thereafter :D

i bathed and felt so good.


reaction when i told her to go and bathe. pigs prefer to roll in mud.

-.-

two straight off days in a row. shiok or what?

thurs:
corrine and i slacked big time and totally immersed in our er4 ren2 shi4 jie4. gross just typing it out but what the heck. no morning run 2gether. just woke up late and ate lotsa stuff until so super duper full. in the meantime kept ourselves occupied with this new show im hooked on called "bu4 liang2 xiao4 hua1" featuring rainie yang and some guy. it's gonna be showed on tv soon. the show is kinda funny and lame at the same time so thats y it fulfils my "slacky" criteria. and btw corrine ho is hooked on sweet dreams too. so once she feels that her intelligence level is slipping way too low the existing low level, she will switch to play sweet dreams to make herself think. so much for her existing intelligence level. or otherwise she watches prison break which she presumes is v intellectual. i dont catch that show at all. i prefer lame, funny, corrupted and thrashy shows. :) so...back to what i was saying just now... after lunch we went to watch cape no7. it's pretty different from the other movies that i have watched before exluding the fact that it was in taiwan/jap/mand all mixed together. one moment can understand, next moment eyes have to shoot to the subtitles if not everyone laugh also donno whats going on. but overall it was pretty good, just that corrine and i sat at the couple seat. what makes it different? no arm rest in between us. yikes. felt like i was in total danger throughout. -.-

ok more updates soon.

back to the show for a while

bye!

when i went for interview today, i realise got some people smile at me.. i even thought i got lovable face. scully is cos they thought i'm cherlyn -.- ( whines: i where got so round? )

haha.

anw the interview went so so. main point is i'm cca-less, relatively free so got time to work. hehe.
good news is that i got the job :D

i thought this called for a celebration. then the bomb came. cher say ritz buffet. nice. haha.

anw today flew pass so quickly. v huge contrast from exam days. i think exams are created to torture students. picture of exam preparation: hair-pulling, pimple outbreak, bomb toilet. at least for me. i so cant wait for four years to be over. i think i prefer other form of stress than battling with an exam script.

but come to think of it, i've alr survived 10 years of spore education. 4 more years wouldnt kill right ? ;)

teehee. i shall stop my cynical remarks. i'm suppose to have already change my perspective in life right? :p i foresee this short holiday to whizz by. but this means that christmas and chinese new year is coming :D

stop the flow. i wanna swim!

--corrine

within 20 minutes, i found myself thrusted into a job interview tmr 12noon. this is so unexpected but i think God has yet another plan for me :D thanks cherlyn for going into "panic attack" mode to help me seize this opportunity :D

anw the person in charge called me and said we sounded alike -.- lucky my head size not like her. but anw she asked " do you two look alike?"

gosh and i answered quite. almost blurted out that my head not as ball-ly as hers. hahah!

hopefully i get the job, which means i need to plan my time meticulously from next sem onwards. DUH. i dont stay hall anymore so 3 days week cram 21 AUS... come to mommmyyy.

btw i was kinda hooked onto sweet dreams just now but i kept getting stuck at level9. so i did my usual thing... CLOSE DOWN THE WHOLE WINDOW. haha. ok very loserish i know but human nature laaa. hahaaaaa. whooops.

ok my mind is in a whirl now. one moment i thought since cant find job, intend to slack my whole holiday away but now.... *sings: there can be miraclesss... when you believe"

yes... i got something to work towards. not forgetting to source for textbooks for next sem too :D i think i'm starting to see life in another perspective. used to dread school dread this and that but hey, i'm only going to live once man. just gonna take what comes and make the best of it, be it good or bad.

i'll use the gold to build a house; use the shit to fertilise my land.

ok the phrase above is way out... signalling that corrine is sleepy. she woke up at freaking 7am to fetch her bro to army camp. naptime.

--corrine.

post exam itenary was mindblowing.

lunch buffet at orchard hotel followed by movie marathon. someone pinch me now,

to confirm that i'm not dreaming:D

ok that was lame, obviously not dream la. haha.

evidence that it really took place.. ok before i go on.. this post is going to embarass me. haha. but i dont care. shall suan myself once in a while. getting bored of suaning the ball.

my aunt brought us out ystd:D tickled by our antics. haha


before food.. lookin all ready to whack. haha.

amazed by the awesomeness of the durian cake.


gone.

fruits time:D cherlyn acting strong, carry with one hand worrrxxx. hahahah. hold that position v long too cos i took quite long to take this picture. she complained muscle ache right after it was taken. haha.

after food: bedtime.

after yumyum buffet, we went for some shopping. i finally got myself a bottom piece swimsuit. black and pink from arena. totally fitting and nice... its been a while since corrine went shopping. one piece of triangle also happy. lol.

movie marathon thereafter :D watched three movies straight... slack there like no tmr. haha. time flew past like crazily fast... tick tick tick eh so late alr. haha. anw b4 that my aunt gave cher some stuff to keep warm in NZ. this hat almost didnt fit her coconut head.

trying to jam the poor hat over the coconut head. dont worry bout the hat, its still safe and sound now. ( *sings: there can be miracles, when you believe...)


after minutes of struggling, it finally fitted nicely. with the scarf too. awwww.

we both agreed that this picture reinforces her head size

let the hair down:D looking better. fortunately.

dont know why snapshots 2 always do the most reinforcement. its v mysterious.


ok this is the bomb, snapshot 3. omg. i think i look like some cancer patient. was very tempted to delete it but then.... actually its also quite cute la right? hahah. everyone please play along thanks:D

love saturday!

how good if life can have more of such occassions

rather than facing the stress of exams, being separated from loved ones.

reminds me of the importance of treasuring.

--corrine.

its finally over.
seem to be able to breathe better now.
but i'm apprehensive about the results now. yikes.
the vicious cycle just go like this... all the time.

but anyway, i'm really glad its over.
movie marathon here i come :D

--corrine.

hello everybody! work was kinda zzz today. im also starting to feel a bit claustrophobic because at 1 pt there were 11 pple in the svc! thats not the terrible part. the terrible part is that there are only 3 chairs behind the counter and other pples' asses are slammed on it but not mine. but i dont sulk. i go to the staff room, sit down and read today newspaper. then when my supervisor comes in... -.- face to face with a big sitting down slacker reading newspaper. feel quite zzz n guilty. but seriously la. stand outside also nothing to do. might as well sit inside and update myself with current affairs right? (ya right la... i was merely flipping through and spacing out). RAH. still have not gone to the part that the same crazy loud guy came today again. zzzzZZZ. crazy pple freak me out. dont mind me but i feel i cud be a crazist. urgh. cant help it la.

oh wells...glad that after work was much much better. went to meet up with my aunt at pwc building. she was shocked that i managed to find the building. cos if we look back at our hong kong trip, i was a big direction/map idiot even till the end of the trip, nothing changed. but now im better with direction/transportation and map related stuff alr. *winks* her office is super quiet and cosy! there is a milo dispenser. what is awesome bout it is that u dont have to use the same cup to get the milo... automatic new cup dispenser kind. shiok. also, her collegue brought back new flavoured m n m's from USA which looks a bit like fish tank those coloured stones?(bigger versions with a certain pattern and they are shaped as a smooth oval) ya blue for millk chocolate coated with almonds and red for white chocolate with raspberry wrapped with dark chocolate. FREAKING GOOD. then we headed down to hive area for bo lo bun while my aunt had hot dog puff ( i swear that will be the last thing i wud eat. totally random and not my style ). my aunt said corrine and i look like primary 5s la. i had comments previously from friends that i am petite... but not to the extent of a p5 right? that jia lat ar. she said when i go over to NZ to study they will call for my identification because it wud be hard to believe i will be studyin in a -university-. ZOMGS. and then she went on to say "will i put on weight?" gdness. hope nots.

btw do you know that i absolutely HATE going to the gyms. cos previously for a short period we stayed in a condo and i went to the gym and the treadmill faced the wall. WTF. try running 30min in front of a wall.... high possibility to trip and fall due to boredom/uncontrolled dozing out. horrible. but the good part about gymming is that there could be hot guys and girls around...motivational i suppose? ( i visited the condo gym and it is most of the time like my personal gym ). bite me. thanks

photo updates of food safari:

celia has a fetish for these cutes pins:)

bye

ps: hi huayshan! luckily you just laugh. corrine SUANS me incessantly. rah

sorry toilet. its really the nerves... not my fault.

--corrine

--cherlyn
quick post before i go and zzz-sleep-zzz

totally felt sleepy during work today. no good.

i dont like driving with my dad. one moment ask me slow down, one moment ask me catch up. one moment ask me not to change lane so abruptly. AHHHHH. i like to do things my way! thats right...cherlyn's way. urghhhh.

apple strudel from australia is rocking my world recently. cream,custard,apples,pastry. whats not to love? DIVINITY.

mudpie surprisingly was quite good too

my supervisor (who lives near me) saw another version of me running...ya an enthu ass...while on her way to work. when probed further.... discovered was the rounder and bouncier version of me. she didnt say hi cos suspect she cud be my twin. not bad. if not dio dao early in morning not nice la. haha! anw supervisor said my bouncier version is taller. objected vehemently. 1cm diff only lor. how to notice when i was not there to compare. inferred that cos running bounce up and down. my supervisor must have reached her conclusion when corrine was bouncing up. yup.

there was once a friend of mine said she saw my sis running in some place when both of us were on our way to swim. weird. triplets man.

ok damn its 10.43pm alr. i gotta knock out soon

bye pple.

getting complaints from beloved chubby sister that i'm suaning her too much. lol.



so to divert attention away from her, i'll bring the spotlight on myself today because of what happened yesterday...



buffet lunch at fairmount..



there was this meat section so there was a chopping board there, with a huge piece of meat. i saw a plate v nearby filled with ready sliced meat so i happily took the kiap to take some meat.



" this is my meat! "



DANG.



i was taking meat off some old aunty's plate.



cher walked off, too embarassed by me.



i really needed a hole to hide then. HAHA.

my parents are FINALLY back from perth!

from an empty dining table to ---->

ok let me have a look.... from left:

1) mixed nuts( i love )! which includes almonds, macademia, pine nuts, walnuts, cashew nuts, raisins and many other nuts which i am not familiar with but taste great!:)

2) see the tupperware with blue cover behind? that is fish floss from bee cheng hiang. long story as to why it was flown from perth to singapore. but its going to go v well with bread!


3) two packets of arnotts biscuit. im glad my mum bought wheatmeal biscuit. ( corrine spare me ur crap ) thanks


4) shapes biscuit... no idea what is that man.


5)azzari panettone. wtf so difficult to spell. anw it is italian christmas cake which cost a bomb if bought in singapore. aus sells it cheaper. wheee! it is one heavy cake!


6) 6 scones from coles. the nutrition label on the box is VVV detailed. i am v impressed:)


moving on to the fridge----> it was pretty bare just yesterday, but today---->


top: APPLE STRUDEL. I LOVE IT TO THE MAX. nothing like apple strudels in singapore. one's tucked safely in the freezer. this one is half gone alr.



bottom: mudpie. why do they call it mudpie and not chocolate lava cake or smth. sounds nicer right???


moving on to the freezer----->

top: muffins to sandwich bacon which my mum bought. she said it will go well with lean bacon and poached eggs. all ready to nourish u know. haha!


bottom: meat pie. interesting. they are for my bros. they are meat lovers

ok i think that is about it for the sudden increase in food supply

i had to curb myself from eating today because we are having a buffet at fairmount later to celebrate my bro's 21st birthday. heard it was good! so had to leave stomach space for the buffet. behaving like a total singaporean... at least i dont overestimate myself to think that any amt is achievable for me...right? freaking excited.

1 side note.... i think im really pretty addicted to "sweet dreams". corrine kept calling twan and i hookers. sounds wrong totally! hahaha. hooked... thats why hookers... L A M E.

With the help of my maid, we started to bake our 1st 2 orders of banana cake! i think we have quite perfected our receipe. just that the cake is not the high rise cake cos i didnt put that much baking soda and baking flour but nonetheless still v yummy! in the midst of coming up with something to spice the cake up. thinking of improvising with fruits rather than sugar and more butter kinda thing. you see... thats what i call keeping customer welfare in heart. cheers to me. so in my own world

back on friday celia, yingxiu and i checked out food safari at suntec convention centre. the range of food was pretty good but did not have much sandwiches/bread related which are more of my thing... but tried a few stuff which was quite good...overall the place was packed with a lot of aunties who were eager to try the food sample. then lastly we watched the live cook show by violet oon. you know what... her helper kept eating and munching while on stage, thinking that the audience wont know. -.- big no no...lady. . . there was a lady sitting next to me and she was sleeping during the show la. the when violet oon said that food samples will be given out...she woke up. when the helpers were distributing the food sample, she was standing up to attract the attention of the helpers. ZOMGS. i was lucky enough to take the 2nd last sample. zomgs again. anw it was great catching up with the girls. glad that they loved the banana cake. baked it in e morning for them as well as collegues.

ps: insufficient sleep alert!!!

gtg

bye!

weekends are here again :D today was gooood, took a breather away from the week long drain of mugger mode. but gotta go back to it soon. rahh.

anw twan and i went for a swim today yet again :D swimming is rather therapeutic. the weather was pretty mild, towards the gloomy side actually. so we chop chop swim finish.

ok to explain this smile... it all started with...... SWEET DREAMS. (a computer game recommended by my beloved sister ;) )



getting super hooked.

haha. the camera man (aka me ) was doing taking good shots of the action.

its like a point scoring system... they have comments like..

SERIOUS

GENIUS

BONUS MAKER

RECORD BREAKER

SUAVE

NICE

hahaha! v good way to boost ego. and everytime u score points there'll be this ringing cum crumbling sound... dont know how to describe but it seriously makes pple high i tell you. audio addiction... yes. haha.

ok the master came to do some coaching. in PJs too. (reminder-she's v on)


as stern as a piece of wood?.. haha dont mind my self invented simile :p

ok mentorship up a notch: teaching off the seat. hahah!

teehee.. this little boy managed to reach the top level-12 with the help of his overly enthusiastic mentor. lol. too mentally tired alr, so plopped in bed. haha.

yea.. SWEET DREAMS is more addictive than any drug/smoke/... you get what i mean right? ;) haha.

i was just busy laughing at their on-ness about the game, also randomly gave stupid suggestions which were shot down by the master.

latest update: the master is still trying to conquer level 11 on my mom's computer now. zomg. LOL

i rest my case.

back to the books. please let next fri come faster!

--corrine

just as we all thought that the banana bonanza is finally over.....

.

.

.

.

BAAAAAMMMMM... !!!!!!

the baker is back in action...(with her pjs... tell me who can beat her at on-ness for baking?) seriously.. haha

cher and i went for a supposed jog but turned into a walk at potong pasir.. then we went to buy these bananas called.. something kepok i think. odd shaped.

the banana cake was getting alot of attention from us. any guy must be jealous of it now. HAHA. that was a joke. teeheeee!

more detailed movement of the knive while i was cutting

the camwhoring continued. haha. super fun.

and thennnnn... round 2. this baker is really getting very hyperactive. as you can see from the first photo, she just woke up, springed out of bed and channelled all her energy to baking..lol

this cake is for my aunt and cher's friend.

cher has a fetish for knive movement as you all can see here and up there.

v dangerous cher.

haha. anw it was good fun. latest update: more baking tmr.

i'm not complaining :D

Sunday was hell good too. darren and i drove to ECP all the way to settle his macs hotcake craving. he's like a pregnanat woman.. got alot of cravings.. to name some:

-fish and co's fish collar

-fried wheat prawns

-crab

-kfc

-old chang kee's carrot cake, popiah and some nugget thing

are these common cravings of pregnant woman too??? ;)

dismal attempt to open his eyes bigger. he almost wanted to purposely look away to annoy me. lol.

weekends are always worth waiting for. just that this weekend will be a more stressed up one because exams are coming. its always exam times when we all yearn for the coming of the HOLIDAYS, dont we? ;)

but first, gd luck to me man. :)

and btw i cant wait for buffet lunch at fairmount this weekend. omg. at least got something to look forward to other than seeing the ball return home everyday from work. she has this ritual = come home--- slam on chair--- food rage--- sometimes starts her ordering around stint---- back to more food---- ask her favourite sister aka yati: "whats for dinner?". yupp... i face that almost everyday. LOL.

off today. slacking big time since morning. not exactly. i had to be the chauffeur for two pple; corrine and my mother respectively. just realised that e more i drive the more i lost the enthu-ness to drive. sadly true. oh wells. anw at first my mum wanted me to send her to some place in amk but because she felt it was kinda early, she didnt mind just taking bus and thus wanted me to stop her at the usual bus-stop, lugging 1 big bag of tupperware and going to that amk place. dont make sense. why? cos she's afraid i wont know my way back home. i mean c'mon... even if i were to lose my way, then i just gotta suck it up and learn the hard way right? finding my way back in total confusion. i think im up for that. oh whatever. cant be bothered to offer anw. send>>>>>> go home>>>> watch tv.

anw today i had a big carbo craving. raisin bread, kueh lopez (glutinous rice packed in a triangle shape soaked with gula melaka ), cinnamon bread, milk with oats, pineapple tarts, banana pie. CARBO CARBO carbo. i like carbo. cant deny it at all. plus lunch of cos. not even half the day is gone and i hav packed so much into my system. hahaah! you know what? last night before i slept corrine and i talked about an "not so before bedtime" issue. zzz. i had big time craving for you know what? waffles from NTU. had it the other time i visited her school. thick sweet layer of red bean packed and sandwiched between crispy and piping hot waffles. whats not to love and reminisice and MISS? ah. it is definitely not accessible for any humans man. mainly for NTU villagers. UNFAIR! i wantttttttttttttt. grrr

im feeling super lazy now. swear. fortunately. if not my banana-holicness will start kicking in and i will be trottering downstairs to start whipping up something related to banana and prob seriously piss my maid off big time cos im an orderish bitch? hahha! im trying to change alr. made a pact with corrine that if i were to tell her or anyone else to do anything she has to tell me off and tell me to diy. worked rather well yesterday. i was lying on my bed and saw the window nearest to my desk wide open. as usual, i asked corrine to close it because she was the one who opened it wad and if it rained the whole desk would be wet. but then i remembered the pact, so i sluggishly lifted my horizontal self up to close the window. that is a good start. aiya but just asked my maid to cut the banana pie for wc and pack it although i could have done it myself. DANGS. nvm. later will resume the pact.

off to watch some show online. two and a half men is SUPER FUNNY. "if you think im dumb, you overestimate me!" WTF???? hahahahaha

bye pple!

ok yesterday was seriously banana day part 1.

cher baked a banana pie! her favourite tagline for yesterday was :" marlene! ". if you dont know, marlene is our maid. haha. cher the gabra pok. but the pie was vavavvoooom!

after baking the crust, here comes the 'meat'

adding the finishing touch :D

even my dog was super curious about the big hooohaa in the kitchen over bananas yesterday. lol

anyway today is banana part 2! cos cher just told me she wants to make banana smoothie with the remaining bananas. i'm seriously in for another treat. !
