a random update

hi people sorry for not updating for so long.. didn't really have the motivation to blog. had a good idea to write about like last week after i removed my wisdom tooth, but never got about to penning it down. work la, too little time for recreation. My work's ending tmr so sure blog more k :)


Anyway, last thursday was bestie's birthday! and being the awesome best friend who totally sucks at buying presents (that's why i don't normally get people presents.. so if you get a present from me... it's extra effort so better appreciate it ;p ) , i decided to bake for her!


I went over to weiqin's house (cos i dont have an oven or the equipment at home) to bake. We (or rather I, i did most of the mixing k.) made the batter from scratch! Like not those instant mix kind, we mixed the butter/sugar/flour etc on our own.


BEFORE



AFTER!
Ok la sorry the shape abit screwed up i never shape properly. Next time i make perfect round shape k.
And this time round the cookies were a little normal. Like normal crispyness, which is nice la, just that i wanted to achieve the subway softness.

I made like 2 batches which turned out to be ALOT. So i brought to office to share it.. and people loved them =) hahaha. i'm a baker i rock.


Tastes better than it looks



Fail self-shot of my assistant baker (HAHA ok fine she is more pro than me and guiding me more than anything but.. i did all the hard work k.)



nom nom


THANKS WEIQIN FOR LETTING ME USE YOUR KITCHEN AND HELPING TO CLEAN UP AND HELPING IN EVERYTHING. =)


and a random picture i saw in the papers:


ANAL packages... hmmm.

hahahaha. not a smart logo choice.


AND. the biggest news of all.
As some of you may know, PC Show 2010 was on this weekend, and so i went down with a group of people to get a new laptop! The people ranged from pewi/bestie to some forum user whom i didnt even know. But we buy together to hope to cut more.


In the end, i bought an Asus A42JV @ $1500!





lazy to take more artistic shots but yea. It's nice. It's not very light though, and battery life is kinda short (3-5 hours i think.. i unplugged the power cable just now and it said "3 hours remaining" but it kept changing so i dunno. haven't ran a proper test yet.
But the graphics card is good and all so.. yea.

and to end, tomorrow is my last day at work at IBM and probably the rest of my life.. cos school is starting soon and i probably won't get another short assignment from them or anything.
This 2 weeks was fun, some days very free:


This is my email, one mail at 9.38AM, next mail... 6 hours later. :D

But of course sometimes quite busy la. but it's all ending tomorrow!! time to prep a few months worth of tuition work and start working out :S

Ok bye time for world cup.
