when life gives you apples

with 2 comments

(and you can’t eat them the easy way out)… MAKE APPLE CRUMBLE!!!

so i was craving apples badly but because i can’t chew solid food yet (just had my wisdom tooth extracted), ….i made apple crumble. and also because i was feeling a little stressed from studying, and what better thing to do than to channel my inner domestic-goddess! haha!

surprisingly it was easy enough, i followed the steps in the video (videojug is a godsend!) and ta-da! warm golden brown apple crumble in less than two hours :) everyone should have a go at it because it’s sooo idiot-proof. although i suggest getting canned apples because dicing apples can be so tedious… if you’re of the lazy sort, like me. anyway i can’t wait to bake some more goodies! baking is so very addictive. maybe i’ll try to make some molten chocolate souffles if i can get my hands on some ramekins, or a banoffee pie perhaps :)

Posted in delicious days

let’s see how far we’ve come

without comments

oh my! i accessed my very very neglected and long forgotten friendster account on a whim, and found some old photos!

one of my best mates, sip, and i – circa 2004

us again, early this year at walawala’s before i returned to Melbourne

wow. i no longer look like a bobble-head doll and sip doesn’t look like a china doll! haha. some people call it ageing, i call it blossoming :) (and of course when you stop playing outdoor sports you get a lot fairer).

and then i was looking at my brother’s facebook profile (in true exam procrastination fashion) and found these!

i think he must have been 16 years old then! he is such a clown!!

and this was at a new year’s eve party this year, with a ten-fold increase in fashion sense (if i may say so)

i must say that he looks all grown up now, though he’s still my little brother at heart. i think he’ll kill me if he sees these pictures but it’s okay, london and australia are too far apart. hahaha looking at before/after photos are sooo fun! okay now back to the grinder, 9 more days and i still haven’t finished half of paeds :(
