say it isnt so. okay. so we're in the middle of lunch. having dumplings & xlbs (no where as good as DTF or CJ) for the third day in a row. laine & i are feeling very happy & healthy. xlbs are afterall steamed!! no oil!! *hOOray* so then we all decide to ask the chief chef amongst as all how she reckons the xlbs have such fabulous 'juice'. & it turns out she NOES for a fact cause she MAKES them'.

JUICY DETAILS:
1) fry pig fat
2) let it cool and solidify in freezer
3) cut up into little cubes & add to xlbs when wrapping the little baos.
4) steam.

please. anyone. tell me there are millions of recipes to making them xlbs. tell me the juices are the result of steaming meat in a xlb skin.   ¶ 3:05 PM 1 Comments

  in due time i dun like that someone else gets to reap the fruits of my labour. i dun think it's fair & it's something that jus should not happen. i wanna stop it from happening. but i cant. so i can only sit & watch & hear about how someone else is enjoying the highlife. kindda at my expense. im not sure if that makes me a selfish person. it probably does. but u noe what. i dun see why i have to fight life's battles for you. i dun see why you should be allowed to take credit for everything & for how god-sent you think you are to mankind, when really, it's quite the contrary. i took you for a person i would be able to foster a friendship with. why did you have to go and prove me wrong on this occassion?


i dun like all that's happening. but you noe. im not going down to your level. i cant even see it from where i am. & i dont mean to say im really high & above all. i noe im not. but let's jus say you're in a class of your own. you created it. you own it. take credit for it. i still hope you find your happiness down below. not quite ready to forget everything. but im trying.  ¶ 8:39 PM 0 Comments

  barbie wanna be.. hands up all you who remember this song.. :) brings me back to when i was 14/15? & dreamt of living the 'clueless' life..haha

decided to let down my id & lat all my singaporean-ness take control..my last tute ended an hr early today & we were given our assignments topics...after class, i shot to the library to start reserach..(assignment's due end of april..) wanted to grab all the books i could...alas, all the book were either ALREADY loaned out and had a gazillion reservations..or i jus couldnt find them..and then i remembered my friends saying before how they'd HIDE books so other pple couldnt find them...or how they'd borrow n return aftr the assignment due date. (they'd willingly pay the fine than have other students have the resource) was quite irritated that the time i wanna do the right thing, i cant. bah.

oh well, have the weekend to look forward to. mates & i were talking about taking a road trip...a 10hr drive to sydney but the rental n petrol costs would come up to like. 500bux, so we decided mayb we'd take the train to sydney. or goldcoast. haha..hopefully we dun end up throwing each other off the train during the 8hr ride. also contemplated going sky diving or parachuting or bungee-ing. -________- after last week's reverse bungee. i reckon the adrenaline will last me awhile.  ¶ 4:16 PM 0 Comments

  all fall down.. you treat me like, im a princess
i'm not used to, lying in bed..
you ask how my day was

you've already won me over
inspite of me
dun be alarmed if i fall, head over feet
dun be surprised if i loved you for all that you are
i cldn't help it
it's all your fault

your love is thick & it swallowed me whole
you're so much braver than i gave you credit for
that's not lip service

you've already won me over inspite of me
& dun be alramed if i fall head over feet
& dun be surprised if i loved you for all that you are
i cldn't help it it's all your fault..

you are the bearer of unconditional things
you held your breath and the door for me
thanks for your patience

you're the best listener that i've ever met
you're my best fren, best fren with benefits..
what took you so long...

i've never felt this healthy before,
i've never wanted something rational
i am aware now
i am aware now...  ¶ 3:07 PM 0 Comments

  in the still of the night..
i held you, held you tight..
oh i love, love you so
promise i'll never let you go,
in the still of the night..

i remember that night in may
the stars were bright above
i'll hope & i'll pray
to keep your precious love
so before the light
hold me again..
with all of your might,
in the still of the night....


ahh yes, may ish coming my dear :)  ¶ 8:01 PM 0 Comments

  eggshells birthdays don't scare me. im not affected by the fact that i'll be increasingly plagued by wrinkles & loose skin..well okay i am, a teeny tiny bit..but more so, it's started to dawn on me that growing up means i'm gonna have to do things my parents do! duh, but think about it..sighh..can i jus have the good bits? pleaseee?

u hear of friends getting engaged, then the wedding invites start coming in. baby showers *horror*..i really await the day i get a wedding invite from one of my close friends...im expecting major water works & nostalgia n panic too..but everyone'll soon be doing these things, when all i wanna do is go back to sec school, to the lalaland of 40min lessons, pe, the time when CCA was still called ECA!!! that was the life. like today, i was considering my wardrobe and i thought. am i too old to be wearing little skirts? *super horrific thought* not that i especially fancy little things but. i dun wanna be old n boring. power suits and all rock. but not appropriate for xlb pig outs....??

i noe what angel means. about wanting to put off going to a job fair for as long as possible. it's jus scary. *shudder* im gonna be in my mid twenties before i noe it =/...i reckon guys have it easier. i mean they've got longer till their 'prime' and their 'prime' lasts for like..half their lives!!!

  perched home again home again...

.... yes im back in my familiar place. not that it feels "jus like yesterday" that i was here. but i do recognise this particular position im in. everything's the same position too. a few additions but. my laptop's in the same place. speakers. modem. buckets of stationery. notebooks. altho. i do have a freshly made bed with crisp sheets. few minutes old, vacuumed carpet and dusted table, window and blinds. haha. these are the things i get to do before my sem kicks in.

have done the-kiasu-singaporean-scramble-to-buy-books-on-first-day thing already. haha. spent the past 2 days clearing out old books n notes. rearranging the old ones which ones i'll keep and which i'll chuck and cry in regret later in the semester. nothing new. yet so much's changed. i feel older (in a good way.) and more ready for what's to come. (alot.)
these are all the things that are kindda exciting during a sem..once the lecs n tutes start proper..uGh..jus downhill all the way.. :P

highlights of the semester - day after due dates. rolling down grassy hills in the park with elaine when we get the time. & the day i pack to go home. going home for xlbs.

OMG..u guys. i miss xlb!!
u pple are evil!!! like shortly b4 everytime i leave, im introed to a new food. and then i dun get to have it once i leave and im jus left pining for it la. *sobs* wherefore art thou my xlbs???




i'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
i think about you baby
and i dream about you all the time
i'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
and tonight..it's only you and me...
muah.
