my 4th or 5th attempt making a chocolate cake, and i've reached a conclusion..
Pretty sad that my cake ended up soso only. I need to bake nice cakes, not as fanciful as the ones shown in The Gateux Affairs, but at least a soft and spongey one, soaked in chocolate mousse or fudge. Ahhhh i dun mind a truffle cake as well.
and i burnt my hand while checking on the cake. argh!! i always seem super occupied while baking, occupied with scolding and grumbling, that is. my bad habit, i know. i like to yak at pple sometimes. ok. that is so leo. haha shan sent some email regarding horoscopes and their descriptions and stuff. quite true, for some of the characteristics. it'll be scary that everyone born in the same month are similar to me in constitution of our personalities.
i fumbled with the cake-baking steps alot, either forgetting the eggs or din pre-heat the oven. tt was when i decided i needed some lessons badly. i wouldnt wanna feed my frenz with another mooncake-taste-alike cake (according to ade, sher, joyce and shan).
Putting this matter aside, i'm supposed to go chalet today, but ping and ting are sick. qi's ligaments are still swollen. quite bad timing actually. probably won't be going for it, though it's already paid for. luckily we got it cheap. the girls need their rest and we wouldn't enjoy it with them suffering there.
been msn-ing and solitairing nowadays. not in any mood to shop, probably coz i spent too much money in HK and still haven recuperate from my loss of income. hahaa a big hole in my pocket as well as my bank account now. looking forward to work now, hahaa now that money has become the key motivation.
met up with my relatives on sun for a family dinner. celebrated my eldest aunt's and grandma's bdays, which coincide on the very same day. they treated me and my siblings to a great dinner. we had sashimi. the dish's Geoduck, some ugly looking sea-creature which looked half-shelled and another half with a resemblance of an elephant trunk. quite like a sea monster actually. the sight of seasnails din irk me as i've taken escargots before with david n darren. but still.. i dun reli like such delicacies, thx but no thx. i had crabs for 2 days consecutively. chilli crab out with ade, sher and libin after our rollerblading session, and black pepper with my relatives. ooooh big juicy flesh! yummY!
luckily the dinner turned out fine. i was expecting some big event like a banquet or wad, and that all those stupid uncles of mine are gonna show up and ask me stupid questions like "so where are u studying now?" or "why are u not in uni?" or "where are your parents" that kinda qns. i will simply smack the truth into their faces that YEA im not a uni student, SO WAD? i need not be some farking uni student to experience life out there, or to be able to contribute to the society. i'll do it my way to work my way up and get myself a pte degree. and even if ur farking rich, i dont reli give a damn coz firstly, im not the one spending ur money, and 2ndly, i despise those who look down on others, especially if they aint half as rich as u were, or din get degrees like your children did.
from wad i rmb, we only keep in contact with 3 aunts, out of 7 or 8 of them. the aunt closest to us had passed away, leaving my eldest aunt on our side. it's like a battlefield with those pple out there, if u'll ask me. so i'd prefer to keep my life simple w/o contacting most of them. but i will definitely keep in touch with my cousins and eldest aunt! coz cousin number 1 (oops forgot her name, sally or sth else?) has got this super duper cute daughter! my niece's 3 yrs old but she's super smart and knows how to entertain pple by being the family clown. most imptly, she can get along with everyone and often mimicks our conversations. a smart aleck, but a real smart one at tt. hahaa.. she loves soap operas and performed for us at the table. a cute lil darling, i shld say. my aunt and cousin invited me to their houses to laze around some day. i wonder how their gardens look like. any bit like secret garden? i loved reading tt book when i was young, and i still do now.
ok. done with the complaints. time to slp now. ciao!
