Lols february 2011, a year back.
Finally catching up lo yay.
Our homemade
feb fab dinner at the bottom section.
-

Playing with bro's dslr, background out of focus.

Now the oranges are in focus.

The teddybear dog i see yearly. That red scarf is indeed cute.

My po po whom brought up me, bro and big cousin when we were young, right in this same house.
-

New daiso buys for cutesy food tools. =D

Two bowls, as long as the shape and depth is sufficient, are perfect for fondue!
Especially the bottom bowl allows air/oxygen to enter from the top side due to the flowery shape, and flame from tealight candle is at the right height being close to the top bowl.

This is something quite interesting. Refer demonstration below.

You get a ring, balloon and a whole chunk of meat!

My box of pointless collection. =)

Lols found an old kindergarten graduation picture.
If i had smiled, my face wouldn't look so round and at least would be cuter or more cheerful. Zzz. Will post some other old pictures i found last week after i scanned them next time, those are better and happier-looking LOLS.

LOLS at quoc bringing a game controller to class.

Nicely printed out and framed, gave to po po already so she can hang it up. =)

Excited about lg's newly bought tefal non-stick pan. This was an attempt to cook breakfast set. Our scrambled eggs failed badly,
kwa kwa.
How to scramble egg???! It's very hard to control. Youtube couldn't help much zz.

Three of us had a dinner for cny cum valentine's day (according to yanni lols).
On a side note, 2012's cny dinner this time round went really good with a whole table full of people and food. =D Wait for this year's post then. LOLS.

Very much inspired by november 2010's
big watermelon dessert...
We hereby present the following...

Yours truly did not carve on the watermelon skin.
LOLS i seem to enjoy disclaiming.

Preparing for yusheng and stuffs.

Fondue coming out.

Camera was on a small tripod, which was on a footstool, which was on a chair. Ha ha.

Dinner ready soon.
Here introducing the dishes...

Yusheng,
with tiny shreds/specks of salmon in the middle ha ha ha.

Home-made varient of the legendary
big watermelon.

Sweet and warming chocolate fondue,
with extra fruits, ice cream, waffles and marshmellows on the dish behind.

Eating time!

This time, i do no disclaim. Boliao
ness made by yours sincerely (except the 'kim' word).

Done! Somehow we all wore grey coincidentally.
-

The ichoc was part of a bday gift months before, only ate till months later lols. Full of caramel bits (those white and orange spots) and it tasted not bad.

Satisfied with my wrapping skills lolsss.
Random draw for both, so you either get blackforest cookies or marshmellows hot chocolate mix.

Recevied for exchanges. =)
LOLS anyway, me and lg never celebrates any vale's day. It's just not our practice.
Using a rather cliche saying - if you wanna celebrate or show appreciation for your loved one, you can be happy everyday instead of using just a yearly commercial day! More like a special day for businesses to boomz bloom, isn't it?
=D

No, i don't endorse for marigold peel fresh.

What's a post without any cat pictures?
Found an abandoned stray baby cat which kept meowing pitifully, although it seemed that someone had already given it some cat biscuits and some water in a bowl
as big as the cat.
I did wonder if the person thought that the kitten might not be capable of consuming dry solid food?
LOLS i showed the picture to lg, and he commented the kitten did not look cute. Hahahhahhahhas.
-
Yay end.
I had a new post yesterday, click "older posts" if it has not been read.
Kthxbye! LOLS. Next post will be not long, mainly revolving around
jas day and other miscellaneous stuffs.

Hihi finally january 2011 post. More than a year ago.
LOLS.
More miscellaneous stuffs, fyp site recee, duxton, graduation catalogue photoshoot and blahs some food.
-

Saw some owned teenage cat (with collar) at my neighbourhood. But was
naughty. Or whatever you call it.

Because it played with
cc - an insect which i dislike most.

And it played inside the drain. Dirty cat, meow. Definitely not an ideal obedient cat LOLS.

All the
bananas strange figurines in the
world section of the room, unite.
The continuation from previous post.

This is a spicy
chai tau kway fortress which is not built by
yours truly.

Making more small figurines for next assignment of a stage/set based on the novel,
waiting for godot, which has an abstract storyline seemingly pointing at the existence of
nothing.

It was up to us to interpret. I refer the storyline based on the author's history - participant in wartime. Hence i chose military-influenced costumes. The story only mentioned a tree, mount (or stone to sit on) and the changing sky colour.

On a side note, i prefer the figurine in the sitting position because i obviously felt the proportions look better.
(I always make flat-looking standing figurines, damn it. -_-)
-

Ikea al fresco dining again. Breakfast for two, although i think it looked like breakfast for four. LOLS.
We have big appetite, cannot is it.
Missed their breakfast though, now it has been really irritating - their breakfast hours are 9.30-10.30am, but the breakfast sets are all sold out when you reach at 10am sharp. So annoying and disappointing. =c

A not-bad tasting rum-flavoured box of individually wrapped melt-in-your-mouth chocolates cubes which is really good for the price. Like the bitterish taste inside.

And let's take a look at what a chinese classmate's usual tin of pocket chocolates is. Premium stuffs! LOLS he told us this little small tin cost over $20 (can't exactly remember) and his mother only buy this chocolate whenever she visited singapore. Sounds like
tai-tai to me. LOLS.
Lols in case jasmine you are wondering, it belonged to tianyi, ha ha.

Lols second neoprint ever taken together after four years. Supposedly for the forth anniversary though it was dated 10jan11 instead of 15jan11.
Fifth year
no hab neoprints. =c LOLS.

Spotted my
rollover partition screen thing in the middle, lols freaking round.

Fancy a mini sundae? Shotglass
vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and strawberry pocky sticks for you.
It's really cuteee lols. =D

Actually there were at least two trips to my chosen fyp site.
There are way more pictures, but no point to put them all here.

Along
craig road, which is right behind the
pinnacle@duxton. Fyp site is the grey unit shophouse with the extra jackroof up there, and a lorry in front.

Back view, the grey unit on the left. I really like the windows and double-volume outdoor terrace.
That time i did a small check. The fyp site was indeed supposed to be the closed-down waxing/beauty saloon that made a big hoo-ha in the news for scamming membership's money and closing down, running away. LOLS.

Took measurement for the neighbour's (children's education establishment) door instead because we could not get near to the door in subject -
the workers were spraying water down (possibly washing the outdoor terrace or watering the planter) and it was really wet (lols water leaking to the next door too, as seen in the pictures).

A possible reference of the roof structure in these shophouses, although this was not the exact unit we were looking at.
It demonstrates the
lightwell (dent/hole in the middle) that allows air and light into the structure (since the units were narrow and windowless other than front and back).
For modern modifications, lightwells are often sealed off with glass panels to stop rain's entrance since ventilation is no longer a issue with air-conditioner.

A carpark along craig road was saturated with all the luxurious cars, wth look at those... o.O
Cutting through the carpark leads you to the peaceful and beautiful
duxton hill.

One look, and i can only tell you that it totally seems like a prefect place to hold a wedding or something. LOLS.
=) Then we went up
pinnacle@duxton for the
fun boliao
ism of it.

50th storey
here we go there we went! Standard ear popping caused by the change-of-air-pressure issue wth.

Do not look down if you have acrophobia.

Actually we did not go through the gates. It was really a hassle to make payment and stuffs.
Something like you need to go somewhere at the bottom of the building to fill up your ezlink with $5 entrance value before you can use the gates zzz.

You can see through the fences and gate though, lols. Able to view far, and it was super windy up there.
For a second we did consider celebrating jasmine's bday up there, but there was a list of rules like
no music, no food allowed, blah blah. No point lar. LOLS no food is a bummer.
Then go up there do what sia, other to enjoy the wind and scenery? Zzz. The beach also has wind and scenery, plus you can
eat, drink, run, play, cycle, kite, fish, blah blah.

Still never understood the hype with
koi. The first
koi i had was at marine parade many many years ago, where nobody bothered to queue at an overpriced drink outlet. It did not taste anything fantastic, memorable or special. It wasn't popular at all back in 2008 or sometime there, and the business looked bleak.
Fast forward to 2012, full of queues, and i still cannot appreciate it. LOLS.

招财猫 garfield. Are you sure more wealth will come? I think more
lasagnas will come to you instead. LOLS.

John and quoc playing with dunking machines.

And... Are bus rides really so sleep-inducing???
-
Photoshoot for graduation catalogue.

We had only these five singaporean girls in our class, and two other singaporean guys (not pictured here) too.
I'm the only black-head here i realise, lols.

Waiting and waitings.

It's always fun to watch others' turns.

Photographer is also graduating in same course, but from a different major.

Candid previews from bystanders' point of view.

The class. =D
-

We each get a pack of cute bear cookies
(salty hello panda) from classmate, dona, yay.
Suki yaki with lg again! Although it has already closed down by now.

Breakdown of some food. Pinks are mine, blues are his and greens are ours.

See, neatly stacked dishes. LOLS cleaning our table must be easier for their staff.
Anyway skipped the yaki (ice cream cooking) session because it is pointless (no real fun, barely can freeze any ice cream to eat, taste no good either way).
-
=)
Yeah next post bits of cny 2011 with the east peeps. And others.
See you!
