I have thought of the most amazing thing for Teacher's Day.
I wanted to be eco-friendly and really really practical this time.
and something relatively cheaper than bulk boxes of red pens...

so, i found the best thing in the world.


waaaaait for ittttt...




here's a clue:




sorry for the crap quality, my handphone wasn't exactly in the best shape
and the lighting is pathetic.

anyway, another clue:



yes, COOKIES BABY.
hee.

and here comes the picture spam...




Time for a Julian's 101: How To Pack Cookies.

From this (minus bite mark):


To this:


Here's a shot of what you need:

Cookies, cake cream spreader thing, plastic box things, tape and cookies.
I went ahead and packed everything first.


The lil' suckers are surprisingly easy to pack.

and, I made more than expected.
in fact, i had exactly forty one or so left over.
sooo.....


into the box they go!
yes, that is the exact same bow that used to contain brownies.


ahhh...


The Grand Finale.
Cookies for teachers
Cookies in ice cream tub for whoever else
Recipe Notebook
Two trays and a metal stand
Cream spreader paddle thing
Loads of cookies


Bliss.

Suicide's Note
By Langston Hughes

The calm,
Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD...

oh mummy mummy, lookit the poor kitty D:

I really don't like Hello Kitty.
And I'm not the only one.

Very befitting of the blog's main message don't you think?

P.S. anybody watched Ms Universe 2009?
VENEZUELA WON~~! <3
singapore however had a sucky model and a sucky costume. as always.
-.-;

Jia En's Vote.

VERSUS.


My Vote.


Jia En keeps insisting that he looks like he just got out of bed or something.
I think the look should be titled les bases d'un danseur latin.
aka The Essentials of a Latin Dancer.
PLEASE he looks damn good here de can?




AND NAOMI CAMPBELL OH GOD.
my kor and I were so in love with her in the past.

I still like baking, mainly cause it's one of the few forms of cooking that does not include a gas flame, and we get to play with flour, sugar and cream, and the batter and the like can be eaten pre-baking and still tastes nice.

I mean, have you tried eating raw vegs? Okay no, don't try. Trust me.

So after the whole brownie incident.
I decide I need a new recipe.






COOKIES!
I will try the recipe when I have time.
Another good thing about baking: it's not terribly difficult.
It does get a bit messy though, if you're clumsy like me <3

Extra information and cute pictures of cookies

HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE :DDDD
Thank god for english subtitles and the hokkien.

Went to Orchard today immediately after I alighted the bus and hung around waiting for my parents to fetch me along. Guess who was the worse dressed amongst the bunch? -.-; They could have at least warned me or something, not that there would have been time to change or take a shower or maybe go for plastic surgery once or three times...

We went to the Ion Orchard, and I spent about three-quarters of the time ranting about the 10 000sqft SEPHORA they have there. Amazing I tell you. Did I mention that half of their make up artists were male? Now that is what I call FASHION. Hee.

Seriously, one day, I should grab a really nice literature, sketchbook and a few pencils, sit down in the middle of Ion and people-watch. The shoppers really wear some amazing clothes there. And some of them had the most EPIC shoes I've ever seen.





At first I thought they were normal Converses. Though of course the angle of her feet were all wonky and funny, but I only noticed the stiletto heel when she turned around. Never too late to realise though. Lace-up heels are now officially on the Like List.

There are seriously more guys in Ion than I would've thought.
There is hope for the Singaporean men after all! >DDD

Uni Qlo was there too, pretty cool two-storey store, and they had nerd glasses with clear glass! I love them already, though I don't have the face to match them D:



ANYWAY!:



I love this song. It's just so... nostalgic. I know I've heard it somewhere.
The piano is always nice :D

Edit: It's from The Last Emperor.
I have no idea if that's a movie, play or opera.


CAN YOU SPELL 'EPIC WIN'?

Well that's saying something.



Went out to watch Up! today, and it was as good as I expected.
It even made me cry D: But it was worth it!
We didn't get to go watch it in Vivo cause the tickets were all OUT,
so no photos of the pet store and the puppies.

BUT WE WENT TO SUNTEC!
AND THEY HAD SO CUTE LITTLE HAMSTERS AND GERBILS AND MICE AND RABBITS!




i forgot to take pictures.

The Five Pillars of Self-Discipline

The five pillars of self-discipline are: Acceptance, Willpower, Hard Work, Industry, and Persistence. If you take the first letter of each word, you get the acronym “A WHIP” — a convenient way to remember them, since many people associate self-discipline with whipping themselves into shape.

Eek, please.
I really don't have self-discipline and I finally know why.
Even the "five pillar" whatchamacallit basics thingy whatever scares me to hell.

"A WHIP" - now, SERIOUSLY.

It doesn't hurt me.
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?
You be running up that hill
You and me be running up that hill

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...

You don't wanna hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There's a thunder in our hearts, baby.
So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
If I only could, oh...

C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh...'

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems

'If I only could, be running up that hill.'

OH MY GOD.
They have STRIPED PLATFORMS.





Pity my parents don't share my passion for shoes anymore.


Edit: NEVER ENOUGH SHOES BABY

Sorry, my brain isn't working too well nowadays :D
