Wacko Phengz in all her Mighty toMato-ness!
this vainpot couldnt care less if her eYes are squiNting when this picture was taken! hahaa! *cos she's drunK* and everythiNg on her face is really red except for heR yAlo looking nose, as opPosed to Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeeR. (u cant see it here cos Sony Ericsson takes pRecisely not what u wanna capture sometImes, bother!)
and theN later in the night, we had the infaMous -cutting-cake-session-. i was baffled if i shud light 15, 56 or 11 candles! hahaa! i lighted ONLY one in the end, just a number to represent the 3 of them! we had an awesoMe yuMmylicious Blackforest Cake whicH mum tooK the trOuble to baKe thhat very afternoOn beforehand.

chocolate shavings from dark cooking choccIe!
till the garnishing part (the finishing details), she realised she couldnt fine any chocolate shavings for the middle part of the cake! so she cleverly substitute them with..
Chocolate CHIPS!!

choc chIpS!! they are yUmmy noNetheless, melts in ur mouth, not on the cake!
the cHips maKe the cake looK a lil too spotty on the top view! ahhaa. dot dot dot. can play tic-tac-toe, lol. yuMMy nonetheLess,chip or choc. i sapu-ed the maraschino cherries this time(i used to hate them.. )

Me, Meng & May : i looK too Happy to waNna choMp the caKe whOle.. *sniGgers*

choc. shaVINGS On the WHOLE CAKE!!!!!!! wanna try making that nexttiMe!!!!!! so sinful...!
to cap off the very memoRable nite, me and Meng walked in the garDen for a bit to *complete* the birthday celebration. don't ask me why, i too think its odd to walk in the garden at a very late 11pm clad in my pyjas,and her in her new clothes! it was a nite with Bright mOon but no staRs so we head back into home and retired eaRly in bed as we weRe so exhausted.
i feel fat as i lay down trying not to think of food i taken earlier.
but i pigGed all the same, after sendiNg the last sms to teds.
zzz OInk zz
its some-kind-of-a-lettuce + scrambled eggs + lightly sauteed chicken pieces + herbed butter gravy drizzled all over!
haha! its the yuMMilicios-est breakfast i have had this week,and though i must admit,the srambled eGgs arent cooKed as scraMbled as they shud look like. i guess non-stick pans never give u quite the same results chinese woks do!
*wrinkles nose*
hehe...
bored while i was waiting for cny to arriVe, drew aN aurora to entertain myself, ho hum
had the whole entire noon affixed to the pc, not really doINg anythiNg (as to contrary to past months afFixed to the pc fOR a reasoN!) fiGured a few trIcks usiNg pHotoshop cs while i was readiNg up tutorials posted up in Good-Tutorials.com.
its a proCess,
i get excited (when i see an interesting and very neat tricK!)
then inspired (wanNa do stH siMilaR....)
Bored (after tryiNg the uMpteeNth tiMe and the Effects arent satisfactoRy)
then giVe up
then it staRts froM step 1 again
and thats what i have came up, drawiNg me FaV!~ aurOra boReaLis!!!! and i used bLue (which is suPPosedly to bring a ratheR dull, but i'd used a viBraNt blUe fOrthis!)'
wishINg foR the bOredOM to go away,wish it away!!!!!!!
but i kept remindinG myselF that semester will start on the 13th of February and i'd better make gOod use of the hol-while-it-is-here-!!!
i'll get bacK to themIng foR the meantiMe and get one doNe befoRe the valentInes and pOst it in deviaNtart as pRomised!
an Aurora theme anyOne?:>:>:>
had a gOod nite rest the nite befOre, it was a loNg (but short) Boxing day (26/12/05) spent all in one place suPPosedly doiNg my model, but ending up doIng some other stuFf as well. Lunch@ BV was great, it was first time having toMyam on an empty stoMache without having to end up with gastric after that. saW soMe decoRated gingerbread housEs, they lOok toO adOrable a buNch to be muNched, all dressed up in coOkie/cereal rOofs and windows, M&M's, marshmallows, caNdies, chOcolate brIck walls, coloured croquant floors!! so sacchariNe-loaded!! (shivers like jelly now, lol)
started woRk afteR lunch, redrawed my 1st and 2nd floOr plan, trace again with gRids, plot points onto my board, cut, paste, but looking at it i've only done so .... little! dangz! Had a very simple yet unusual dinner, steamed chicken (stuffed with red dates) with boiled potatoes in jackets and butterhead lettuce salad! lol. having dinner without rice for a change at friend's place :) thaNk you tedDy for cOoking for us! *grIns*
drove home at approx 10pm feeling a feeling i havent felt before. it wasnt tired or exhausted. it was a contented feeling. the sort that leaves u breathing calmly, suddenly driving home isn't something i dread doing, or woRrying what lies beyond ready to leap on me at the destination. suddenly all these don't matter anymore, puzzles me. lol
toDay i chatted with dee agaiN and she sent me some piCcies that werE taken with her camera. so i decided to post some in toDay's entry as a certain teDdy complained about reading a *boring* bloggie with no visuals.
meant to blog about the field trip to pd and chRistmas diNner but i guess i am tOo lazy now trying to recall so i'll just let the piccIes do the talkiNg... well here's one taken in Port Dickson when we'd just arrIved! dee so Can't wait to take pictures but this was a quiCk one by ouR fren anNisa! everyone just wHipped out theiR cameras and start clicking away!
in Port Dickson....................................

dee & i at PD when we arRived, steppiNg on a whOle lot of pine/durian cones. ummm. foot massage anyone?
can u see hair getting into my mouth? lol. that was the wiNd! it was blowing at (seemingly every direction) because wherever i stand, my hair lOoked blowN asKew!!!
the weather was great as the clouds are doiNg a supErb job curtaining the rays of sun. the pouR earlier helped made the beach breeze cooler too. it was a happy day to hop and frolick by the shore, kicking the sand and getting washed by the waVes...
after much exploring, we settled for an area to stack our belongings and were split into groups. We have about 4 juniors in our group of 8 and our fIrst tasK was to complete a saNdcastle within an hour, resembling as much as the oRiginal building, as detailed as can be.
Was the slowest group to start as we had no clue what building to build. No Petronas Twin Towers or Eiffel ToweR or Chrysler Building!!! then Megna came along and decided to join us in our sandcastle building, she suggested a certain *city ruins of the Mohhenjo-Daro* we knew it is NOT a building but we all knew how easy it is to build a ruin!(no matter how DETAILED! haha) the lecturers aka the judges (suRprisingly) approved of our *building* so we started runNing to and fro fetching water in pails, diggIng, softening the sand, making a good mix with seawater, erecting the buildings and making it as *ruin-ish* as possible! The cylindical tower makes it the hardest to build as dee and alEx had to build and rebuild over a number of times just to get it stand! 3 parts of sand to 1 parts of water......... or it it 2:2???? errr...

higgledied - piggledied mass of sand - the city ruins of Mohhenjo-Daro! does that look like early civilisation to u???
Although we didn't win the best sandcastle, but we didnt bag the woRst either! *phews* lol. the group who lost is going to get buried in sand! but it turned out we don have all time diGGing for the 8 of them so kenji and wayNe will just do as pRoud rePresentatiVes, lol. don't have the pic at the mo, but its hilarIous when u get to see it, readers under 18, u aRe ForBidden! lol

came across thEse crab holes(homes) while strolling by the beacH! resEmble a lot like the *tong yuens* i made that morning, albeit not in that muddy colour..silly!

a self-taken piccy of meself!! HaiR askew-again!!!! the wiNd is eveRywHere! definitely not a place for wigs...
was a great trip altogether, i just forgotten one thing and it was my sunblock, everything else was just nice, the company, food, activities, weather
i just SO don't like my lobster appearance now, thats all. lol
on Christmas Eve.........................................

dee & i,on our way to midvalley foR christmas eve dinner..i am so blackenned!!!!!! arGHhh

dee and i, (again) all decked in white for the white christmas!! a few falling snowflakes will just complete the beautiful atmosphere :)

hanging icicles, frOzen froNds, barren tWigs, an elfin cottage, trees laden with pretty baUbles and twinkling fairylights in the Centre Court of Midvalley Megamall.

this is dee and i again!!! lol! we loOk great thanks to the photographer, the lighting, the decoration and that idiot whose body partially came in and ruin the whole thIng lol
at San Francisco's Steakhouse...............................

camera is every gurl's best companion........not mine! taken by dee,i cant even hold a camera still for a decent picture......

satiated, satisfied and filled to the briM...laurie's had his hand over his pot belly,lol!!

the three stooges -Victor, Kwooi & Laurie

on the other side:: dee, i and wats

victor :: all i want for christmas is my.........N70 (miraculously Fishes it out from his pOcket, ta-Da!)
all in all the dinner was... okay.. except for the turkey i guess, which was supposed to be tonight's highlight anyway. staffs in SFS don't seem to be able to diFfer chop from slice. i guess no more SFS next year, we'll head elsewhere where people understand english better, and spare us from having chopped turkey serve in a plate as they would when you visit a chicken rice shop...... no chicken rice for another consecutive year....
as the hour is still early, and i have to be home before the clock strike midnite, footman turned into mouse, car turns to pumpkin (poor wats), and we have yet still exchanged pressies, so we head to Friendster Cafe for a second round, (before they head for a 4th and 5th and 6th....)
we had the pressies all laid out with number labels and for 2 times wats toOk his own number. i dUnno how lucky he is, till the 3rd and final time, i tOok his number! Lucky me lol! there's a snowglobe, a fanCy stuFfed clock, a kungfu kick-ass keychain,bodem coffee mugs, liquer chocs and dOggieshaped calendar!!!! we each tooK a *bottle* of liquoR from Vic's pressie and drank to ...er... (i can't remember, but was it the merrIest chRistmas?!) lol!
at Friendster Cafe.....................................

wats :: A cloCk!!!??!! u wanna me to die-AR????? (roars with laughter)
while uncle octi stares into his very own dreamy space........
i & dee :: sharing a very cool blended Peach Friendstercino
to cap off the memorable nite, i was given a pressie and was told to open in when clock strike midnite! i hope its something that stops me from being Cinderella!!! :> lol
well nothing like that, but something really sweet! an entertwiNed two heart pendant and a chain ;) awww.. thaNks for the gift teDdy... hugshugs
