No way! This MUST BE a dream. I managed to bake BREAD! Unbelievable,I know. ( I've repeated this again and again in my posts LOL) It turned out great! Not to mention my failure for the first attempt this morning. I was too impatient and the dough did not rise enough.
Therefore, tonight, I was basically staring at the dough, as if "magic" will happen. Indeed, the dough doubled it's size! This is so so so cool. Kneading the dough was the most tiresome part of course, but I had fun. While I was kneading the dough, I was actually venting my anger and frustrations too. LOL, how nice.
Today's my "off-day" hence I did nothing but the things I like. I realised I spent almost the entire day making bread. 2 hours in total to proof the dough,30 minutes to knead the dough, 20 minutes to prepare the ingredients and 15 minutes to bake the bread. Whoa!
Anyway, I used the baking pan Pris gave to me. ( Promised to make good use of it) So, my buns turned out like those you buy in the bakery! ( the ones that stick together?) wahahahaah, this totally make my day( though it's night now and I just finished cleaning up)
Tomorrow's English and Math day. Hope I spend my time wisely.
Expect the unexpected.

I thought I'll have a boring day today. Fridays and Saturdays shall be my "off-day". I made a disgusting chocolate cake and apple muffins this morning. ( I used the canned cherry apples, which tasted like canned grapes, which is better than expected) The pineapples tarts which I made yesterdays seems to taste fine ( BTW, I did the dough and rolled the fillings, mum shaped the second batch)
Then, I thought my boring day would continue until Pris called me. I was shocked at first! Yup, she dropped by and we watched the last few part of my beautiful episode 16. Then, we chatted in my room. It seems to me that things hasn't changed much. I don't know why but I didn't feel awkward even if it's after 2 years, unlike.. ( can't explain here)
Anyway, received a Christmas gift from her too! This is my FIRST ( and maybe last) Christmas gift I'm going to receive this year. :D Very very happy about this. The gift was something she knew I'd like. I was really touched, ( not for the sake of the gift) by her card. Really, really, really.. ( Shan't elaborate, I'm afraid I'll cry while typing, HAHA)
In conclusion, I had a really great time today. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT !!! It's been 2 years since I've seen her T_T Time flies..
Pss, I tried making ice cream! Hope it turns out nice tomorrow morning! ( I should have added gelatin powder!! ughh, never mind! :D) I'm still thinking of what to get..

UGH, money sucks.
New Moon movie totally sucked. IT WAS BORING ( maybe because I know the story already. But it seems like they're reading lines one after another. Like, it isn't NATURAL though the movie is SUPER NATURAL. I know. )
So, baked carrot muffins for breakfast this morning. Tasted great.
MOOD SWING- ing.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHY MUST MONEY BE PRIORITY. Paper and metal. LOL

Did not do much today. I did 3 weeks of exercise from 1,100 words and redo math homework. Realised I haven't done anything for Chinese yet and the due date is 10 December -.- Also, I didn't read much today.
Ate a lot today.. can't control myself. Really in a lousy mood. Not that I'm unhappy but I just don't feel right. LOL( maybe it's because there's dance tomorrow -.-)
I ate
-A cup of milk
-5 Pieces of bread
-vegetable
-Pork
-2 cookies
-2 oranges
-Some cake
-a bowl of soup
Blah, I'm becoming fatter each day.
I HATE TOMORROW'S ACTIVITY. :/ ( this shows that what was written on my report book was false)
UGHHHHHH.
Can't wait till the dentist tightens my braces..
WORK

I'm going to finish up the homework from 1,100 words and redo math tomorrow morning. Next, I'm going to finish City of Ashes.
Hopefully I won't be touching the computer! ( let's just see)
One thing I realised I do not like : eating with people. ( weird eh? I'd rather eat alone) LOL Nothing to do with braces.
Lazy
Sunday, November 22, 2009 8:22 PM
I thought of ending my lifeless movie and drama marathon, but I just felt too lazy to do so.
Drew a guy for design lesson. A GUY and a monstrous baby. ( Shan't elaborate)
I LOVE HONG KI's HAIRSTYLE IN YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL! It's super cool. Not to mention JANG GEUN SUK'S !!!! I shall just live in fantasy and do my homework! LOL
Baked a Durian Cake today -.- . First sponge was good yet bad. I did not incorporate the flour and the egg mixture properly. End product turned out bad. The sides were perfect and the middle was uncooked. Worst thing was that there were flour here and there. Second sponge was terrible. ( Btw the first sponge was the French sponge cake where the egg whites are beaten separately.) I made the traditional sponge cake and it was so rich. ( Like the sponge used to wash your car) But it was better than nothing.
The cream was good, some how. Added the durian puree to the whipped cream. I guess I did not add enough gelatin to the mixture or something, because the cream fell the moment I removed the mould. UGH. But since my Brother said it was OKAY, it should've tasted fine. ( Just that the sponge was hard) I ate so much cream that I felt so sick to eat the cake itself. LOL ( kept "trying" the cream while covering the sponge :P)
Spent a lot of money already... On baking materials.
Shall bake less often now, though I mum bought me Molasses sugar. Totally gave up on buying the syrup form. It's way too expensive. Hope this will turn out good.
Can't wait for episode 15 and 16 to be out!! ( maybe at least the preview or something? :D pretty please!!)
Btw, I felt like laughing after I saw my class list for next year. I went to take a look at the year book and check out who are my classmates. LOL, I'm anticipating next year's arrival. ( THOUGH MORE FOR CHRISTMAS)
Fantasy

So, let's continue.
I'm done with episode 14. AH!!! It's so sad! Hope Tae Kyung and Mi nyu will end up together! I realised Shin Woo looks like the guy from SS501. ( The one who acted as hanazawa rui ) LOVE JANG GEUN SUK! :D Though he looks old and scary when he's serious, but he looks super good when his expression starts coming! I'm desperate to watch episode 15 and 16!
I did not bake today. ( Miracle, I know) But I ate a massive amount of chocolate cake plus chocolate cream cookies. I'm surely gonna put on weight during the holidays, with all these baking and slacking and the lack of exercise. I'm doomed.
Anyway, had 2 large bowls of chicken porridge, a pancake, a couple of gingerbread cookies, a cup of milk, a slice of bread, 3 glutinous rice balls ( btw, I love them) , an apple ( I EAT GRATED ONES NOW! WTH), a pear, PLUS THE ABOVE. So tell me I'm doomed. I'M A GLUTTON I KNOW! T_T Can't help myself. I HAVE GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO THIS AFTERNOON!
( Overindulgence kills)
Oh no! I have not done design homework! I DON'T WANNA DRAW CHILDREN AND GUYS!!! They're tough T_T
Btw, OST of you're beautiful is great. Especially "Without a word" or something. It was translated during the drama. It touched me so much! Driven me to tears! ( yeah right, I'm just exaggerating)
I just realised good movies and dramas started popping out in year end. Hehe, for the benefits of students like us maybe?
I'm living in fantasy now ( mind filled with images from "you're beautiful") Gonna "come back" to reality on Monday, when tuition starts. LOL
