random stuff done through the semester...

our school changing color


making apple pies

then today's thanksgiving dinner.. courtesy of all our master chefs.. le chomp le chomp le yum! our menu included:


my dish! - smoke salmon bruschetta with pesto sauce and tomatoes


asparagus wrapped in smoked bacon with hollandaise sauce


tur-duck-ken.. chicken stuffed in duck stuffed in turkey.. omg.. this is good


there's just too much food to name.. but there was also ribs, haddock, salmon with lemon pepper sauce, brownies, pasta and much much more..

haha.. we still have tons of food left behind.. and my two days of gym has been officially wasted.. lol.. oh wellz.. yum!

the pre-thanksgiving edition

thanksgiving dinner is the only glimmer amidst one of the bleakest thanksgiving celebrations for me yet again.. as much as i dislike travelling and get all tired out, staying at ithaca isnt exactly fun...

oh well, up to me to carve something fun for myself i guess... =) i'm gonna be doing some salmon bruschetta for thanksgiving tmr.. hopefully things pan out, then it's black friday shopping!!! woot!

last black friday was kinda a letdown because we went to jersey gardens and gq got all pukey and sick and we wasted tons of time, plus all the winter wear i wanted wasnt in the stores.. so it was kinda bummer...

this time i think im sticking to the simple pmall and seeing what i can get SLOWLY. i kinda browsed through the online store catalogues and found one ensemble that i wanna create for this winter.. lol.. and yeah, i needa find the salvation army dump place to recycle my old clothes... lol

oh.. and today was yet another ian/cherie/yk/sam etc outing to madeleine's! food was pretty good, but according to me, a bit little considering what i had at zaza's the day before (pan seared duck + creme brulee).. josh/me/yk shared a duck two-fit dish and diver scallops then splurged on the most scrumptious desserts ever - chocolate mousse cake, some fantastic three-tiered cake filled with grand mariner, baileys and whiskey and oh.. chocolate creme brulee.. which pretty much filled me with ecstasy cos it was so good.. lol.. yum!

300th post!

apple pie-mania!

snow started falling this weekend in cheery (yah rite) welcome of ian and cindy from stanford).. geez. aniwez we went applie-pie making at mike and marsha's house today and well.. it was fun + a great reunion!.. though the poking wasnt exactly fun.

rehashed in the army-favourite foosball, played some wierd trading game in which cindy kept winning, ate tons of delicious squash soup with garlic bread! yum! yeah, then was the apple pie making in which i managed to mangle several apples, roll a pretty decent dough crust and then trim the sides of the pie etc.. yeah but i couldn't do the ribbon design somehow.. -_-

the pies turned out delicious. joshie disagrees with me saying that it was too sweet but.. haha.. to me anything with cinammon = good. oh yeah.. and we also played with the absolutely friendly dog, toby. darn.. really wish i had a dog.

at nite was a hotpot celebration with hksa and ctas pple for the asia dragon's thing held last sat. i have to admit that whilst the organization wasnt exactly very good, the interaction was good la.. real fun mixing around with the hk pple and taiwan pple.. haha.. though it makes me really wanna go to hong kong!

hmm.. ok nothing much left to say.. so so glad that all my prelims are done with this sem.. can relac a bit, take a breather till the finals.. bleah..

the completely wrong time edition

this is so completely the wrong time to be blogging, considering i'm sandwiched between two horrific prelims, one that i have pretty much already tanked to the bottom of the ocean and the other still looms one day ahead.

geez. this is so sad.

aniwez, some very irrelevant trivia that I always wanted to know but never bothered to ask. (linken don't bother replying)

1. how to guys actually pull off wearing a scarf? as in.. how to fold until the seh way and not the way that marks you neck look enlarged?

2. how in the world do u pose for photos and ensure you don't look like a complete idiot/loser/fug. haha.. honestly, i think i shall shy away from photos from now on.. hehe.. it's just.. horrid. lol

arrgggh.. i'm going to sleep.


as per the pumpkin carving stint again.. this time i went for a more narcissistic and declarative pumpkin. lol

the materialistic and completely irreverant edition

hmm.. asia dragons just ended.. honestly i don't really ever want to do a food/organizing/entertainment thing for awhile.. it's.. tiring. i dunno whether its fulfilling but it's just kinda sad to be filled with stuff to do and see people eating... oh wellz.. i kinda just wanna enjoy the event once. haha

aniwez it was fun to see and chat with friends from hksa/ctas.. i kinda wanted to do this event just for this.. haha.. so oh wellz.. i'm not gonna complain anymore. =)

next week's hell week beckons. lab + ece 303 + ece 315 prelims. wheee. but well.. good news is that i'm 2 prelims and 3 finals away from orlando then vancouver! yippee

oh.. and my snowboard arrived few days ago.. i like! haha.. spent kinda quite alot this month with the phone and board.. but err.. hope it pays off and well.. i really have fun with it. =)

ok.. REALLY tired. gonna kunz.

oh. and on a side note, i'm kinda worried cos i slang way too much nowadays.. even with sgporeans.. wah.. go back sg sure kena suan.. haha

sick like a duck

typical.

the only week i'm free I go and fall sick.

maybe it's cos despite my proclamations that i was gonna sleep early every night, I inevitably wind up sleeping at 1++... stupid iphone is destroying my life with my incessant watching of youtube past sleeping hours.. lol

but i must say the iphone is an amazing distraction during class espcially if your TA insists on droning on and on about ridiculous stuff and tries to emulate the prof by saying stuff like "use intuition"... geez.
