Things I did during the holidays~ # Part 2

SHUN'S BIRTHDAY!:) 

Ooh hoooo, next up!! Shun's birthday was just around the corner, and somebody here was quite free still:) Hmmm...

As I was watching TV and thinking of what I could do at the same time, my sister started baking, hmm again? Yes it's AGAIN! I think baking is now her latest hobby, nowadays she bakes quite often, haha quite good also, I get to eat them :P yummy yummy, if not yummy just eat one slice and keep quiet will do XD

Then I asked her what are you baking this time, ' Oh it's red velvet cake again!! You wanna help me??' Then I said, 'Oohh it's okay... I will just watch, hehehee' Baking was never my cup of tea, probably because after I failed miserably during the first attempt, I just didn't have the motivation to bake again! So lousy right? :P

As usual, I would watch her bake, and maybe disturbed her a bit, or be her little helper, taking this taking that for her. Apparently, she was baking the cake for her boss's birthday, so thoughtful right! Then she said, 'Do you all want to eat also? I have another set of ingredients to bake one more cake.' 

Then suddenly this thought came into my mind, maybe I could bake a cake for Shun! Yeah this would be a good idea!!:D Only then I started to be more interested in what my sister was doing. Kept asking her was it hard to bake this, how to do this, how to do that?? For the 1st time! 

Then she just told me to go to this website, so I read everything and watched the video, hey didn't seem to be too hard:) And if you're interested too, click here.

So the next day, I spent my whole day baking with my younger sister. It was exceptionally fun because I was baking for a reason, thus I told myself,' This time I must not fail, must give shun a cake on her birthday!!'

For the first time, I was reading a recipe so thoroughly without skipping a single sentence or word, even my sister was asking,' Are you done yet?? I can't wait to start alreadyy!' Me replied, ' Heyy give me some time la, I want to make a nice cake this time or maybe even nicer than the one jie made xP'. Super ambitious right, when it was only my first time baking a birthday cake:D

All the materials were taken out before baking! so Are you READY??

Hehee this looks a bit disgusting over here, hey wait laa...

Waiting anxiously for the cake, 2 more minutes, it's 2 more minutes!!

Not too bad looking right?? But in fact it should be redder for a red velvet, sb here reduced the amount of the red colouring, coz think that it looks kinda poisonous:P

Spreading the cream cheese on top really took me ages, lol so hard to make it even! Y u still no smooth yet..??

First round of decoration~ using my favourite- STRAWBERRIES!! :D

Since there's a big empty space, why not put her name right? :)

Lol still can't believe that I baked!

On her birthday, a few of us celebrated for her. Though it wasn't like a big celebration, but we spent one whole day with her, trying to keep her happy, amid the stress she was facing while preparing for the major exams. 

The pretty card jin made, so creative right?:)

Birthday girl looking really happy here!:DD

I think I'm starting to have a little more interest in baking now. Wow my god who's talking here, ME!!!! Yea I'll try to bake again when I have the mood, so till then!! :DDD I just like seeing people's happy faces, it makes me happy too:D

Alright, to be continued... # part 3 cominggg!!!

Things I did during the holidays~ #Part1

Did quite a lot of things during the holidays:) My holidays are treating me really well since now I have more time to do what I've always wanted to do! 

I don't know where should I start first, so I will just write out whatever that comes in my mind:b EASIER!!

SELECTIVE

I had completed my selective during the holidays, which was about 3 weeks long. The selective I got was in fact quite interesting since this topic wasn't really covered in my course. It was about adolescent sexual and reproductive health, I've learned something here and am now slightly more aware of those issues regarding this topic. 

I seriously feel that adolescents ought to be given more focus and care as they are going to become the leaders of tomorrow. In fact, this is quite a crucial period, as they are undergoing a lot of changes physically, mentally and emotionally. They are all in the process of finding their own identities, understanding themselves and the changes which are revolving around them better. It's not an easy phase!!

Therefore, getting support from family, friends and society is very very important when going through this phase of life, no joke!! This is speaking from a person who had just gone through this phase hmm not too long ago XD

Every group has to come out with a poster and it can be anything that we learned during the selective. So this is from our group, looking really nice:) Awesome team mates I had!! :)  

DANCE

Our dance performance was great on that night, apart from having some technical problems, which gave us some topsy-turvy moments and I could see some minor mistakes here and there when watching the videos. But that doesn't matter anymore, all we care now is the process that we went through together. What more important is, the dance was performed smoothly without any pauses in between!! so GREAT SHOW people!!!:DDD

The dance crew~ ( From left to right: arranging from tall to tallerrrR =D)

DENTURE

Finally I've finished doing the dentures, looking so pretttyyyyy! LOL of course I'm saying that, is all hard work okayy, hahahaha!! It took me about half a year doing it, firstly I didn't spend every single day doing it, then we had to attend some lectures before proceeding to the next step. The bad news is there are just too many steps when making a denture :(  Still, I think it was really cool to make it on your own, and the lab assistant really helped us a lot!:D 

>>>>  TADAAAaaaaaa!!:D  <<<<

Omg so pretty XD  just gotta admit that this is what we called syiok-sendiri:P

WOW so shinny!! Right?? right? erm.. 

 BUT sadly, Ms. Tan you need to break your denture into half 1/2

and REPAIR it!! 

HUH?? WHAT!!!!!??!! HAAAaaalf?? D:

Such a sad thing to do, is like cutting my own flesh :(

HAHA sorry for the exaggeration! Just wanna joke a bit :D

So now, I'm currently still repairing my poor denture, its almost done, just left with the polishing part. Don't worry, I will make you look prettyyyy again!!!:D

SO that's all for now! To be continued....in part 2 (:

 

Having a great time :)

Early this month, we celebrated daddy's and my pretty sister-in-law's birthdays:) The cake on the left was baked by my sister BUT accidentally damaged by me, so was covered with the happy birthday stick :P while the one on the right was bought from a bakery shop, and the coolest part was they were both RED VELVET cakes.

Honestly, the one baked by my sister tasted so much better as compared to the other one, big claps for my sister!!:)

We wanted to give dad a surprise on his big day, but seriously epic fail XD Still, he was more than happy to see all his friends invited by us and an array of yummy food ready to be served.

:)

Next up, I invited nearly half a class of our dental batch mates to my house since some of them wanted to sing karaoke.  Nowadays we all go for our respective selectives, thus very seldom we get to spend time together. It was in fact quite an impromptu plan, but still turned out to be quite well and I suppose we all had fun:)

Even my little cousie was very happy that day, he was having a great time playing with all the big brothers and sisters, chasing here and there, I had a really hard time catching him:D

Sometimes it's good to have a gathering like this once in a while, where everyone gets to know each other better. 

Then I realized that just by making people around you happy, you are actually giving yourself a reason to be happy, just as simple as that. 

I'm sure deep down in everyone's heart, there are things which can make us a little down, but when you are feeling that, DON'T FORGET there are also a lot more things which you can do to make yourself a happier person :) So why not? 

Alright, so for those who are preparing for the upcoming exams, work hard and strive for the best, don't get too stressed out k!! For those having holidays like me, happy holidays and enjoy as much as you can!!!:DDD

Till then~

Time to REST again~

It has been ages since I last blogged. So what have I been doing recently??

Hmm.. trials had just ended. Sadly to say,  I didn't perform that well this time. Perhaps I didn't prepare well. But for now, I'm still enjoying the holidays that I'm having ~ before this I didn't even have sufficient time to sleep. Now, it's time to sit back and relax for a while b4 starting whatever I need to accomplish.

The day after the last day of trials, I went out with my closest friends in class to watch 2 movies in 1 day... so we had actually spent 8-9 hours at 1u. That was reallyyyy longggg~

But what to do, since we had so much time to waste as we didn't feel like touching any books for at least one day..haha:D

The 2 movies we watched were "How to Train Your Dragon" & "Clash of the Titians" I prefer the first one (and you should now the reason... xd)

Before this, we always enter the exam hall, facing papers with black wordings and you have to regurgitate whatever you've read on the paper until the time given ends. But now, we're facing the big screen with colourful images, so instead of regurgitating, all you have to do is just to fill your stomach with the snacks you bought until the movie ends. And that feels much better!!!!

HAHA I know this is lame. But I'm running out of ideas of what to write =)

Oh yea and we did pamper ourselves with scrumptious meal at TGI while waiting for the next movie to begin. And we saw this old man celebrating his bday at TGI. We thought it was rather funny coz this isn't something that we expected to see. 

After all, it was quite a tiring day but at least I did what I couldn't do while preparing for the trials~

=)

Holidays

Recently, many people are falling ill bcoz of the erratic weather. Luckily, I'm not one of the victims..(hope I won't b sick after saying this) Don't you think it's really torturing to b sick during the holidays..coz holidays are the best moment for us to let down our hair and not a period of rest and recuperation. But, I think I have been too relaxed until I became so lazy. Every day, I'm just lazing around. Haiz, I thought I would do alot of things, but in the end I did nothing. I started feeling guilty for what I have not done. There 're too many distractions arnd me and I just couldn't resist doing them. Who to blame if it's not me? nobody...
Whenever I look at the piles of homework which are waving at me, my eyelids will somehow become very heavy and eventually I fall asleep. But once I'm far away from that place, I'll be miraculously energetic. Strange isn't it? Ahaha....or shud I just describe myself using one word-LAZY. I'm actually quite happy when receiving msg from friends asking me abt how to do such and such homework..coz this can really be a powerful motivator. It really works. Thanks man or else I wouldn't even take the initiative in doing my work.
