I recieved my first Christmas present today, abeit early. But it couldn't be kept till Christmas so it was nice. Justin bought me a box of Royce Champagne Nama Chocolates. I almost cried out, "OMG, I lub you can?" but I excercised a bit of restraint. It may have been an embarrasing thing if I did since we're not that close (though I suppose other people will disgress) and it stunned him. He wanted to get me the Spongebob Squarepants popcorn tin which was cute, but the grocers had ran out of stock. So he promptly asked what else would I like. I replied that it's alright, I don't have to have anything for Christmas. He mentioned otherwise and asked me to choose between A or B and he said he wouldn't let me know what it is. Hmm, got me a little curious though. haha. Seriously I don't understand the hype of Godiva. It's not that all brilliant anyway. At least I didn't like it the last time I had it.

I have never before in my life been so mad at someone till yesterday. There's this girl, whom I've met twice in my entire life, that said I bitched about her. I don't even f*cking know her, why would I bitch about her in the first place? It's absolutely flabbagasting because all I said about her (to Gus and Sam) was that I found her rude as I asked her a question the previous Saturday and she replied me in a manner that threatened rudeness in every syllable, "oh sorry, I don't know." Samantha said she's not that kind of person, so perhaps I mistook it. However, after what Gus told me yesterday, I'm sorry but I don't think I'm mistaken at all. I don't even f*cking know you, why the hell would I want to bitch about you?! It's not as if your life is so interesting and scandalous that I HAVE to speak about it. Pur-leeze, this is so needless. Last night, I slaved away in the kitchen for 45 minutes to cook dinner but I ate it up in like 15. Not that I actually minded because it turned out nice. Just simple fare, as I hate complicated stuff. Will post a picture when I've uploaded it. heh. All I did was sauteed potatoes in some olive oil and garlic, tossed pasta in pesto (which is miracle stuff, omg I just love it) and had an egg. Whee.

"Don't emo, buy something back for you." "Haha, sia la, what makes you think I emo man! Haha.." "Lol, cause you always emo that's why. Heh" "*jaw drops. No way lor! Haha. What you buying?" "Something lor lol. lalala. Something good for the both of us." "Haha, nice thanks. If you say it's good, then it's gotta be good.." "Actually I don't know whether good or not. Lol" DOUGHNUTS!!! Thanks mate. SY went with me to eat dinner at Century Square. At the bus stop, we saw the Kraft Singles Cheese advert and seriously, his baby pictures resembled that kid. So he said to take a picture of him alongside the advert. haha. *tada! The finished product.

OMG! Chanced upon a website that shows you how to pimp snacks. As in make them larger than they're already are. Take for example, the classic Jaffa Cake, which they amptly named the Jaffa Cake of Justice. Good lord, look at the size. Oh this Ferraro Rocher too! Bloody hell pimped to the power of 159 and weighed a hefty 2.2kg from the original of 14grams. Daddy's birthday was yesterday. Procrastinated until I didn't managed to get a shortcake from Canele as it needed 3 days advance notice for orders. Which meant I had to make do with one from 4 Leaves. It was alright, but I miss Canele's. Kayi got me a Krispy Kreme Karamel (ok, I don't know if the caramel for the donut is spelled like that). Nice, sweet stuff. haha.

I've been thinking that I need to include photos with my entries nowadays (and so says Kayi as well). Seeing how "zen" my template is, the pictures add a splash of colour on a white/grey background. So I'll try to incorporate some, though the pictures may be posted a day later than the actual post because I need to go home and upload it first. heh heh. Kayi got me quite a bit of stuff lately. She bought a huge block of Cadbury's Turkish Delight on Friday and got me a Melon Pan today! How cool lar! haha. Thanks much! Oh the second photo was my desk for almost an entire week. A hard bench with a MacBook Pro which I had to borrow from store. haha. I love MacBook Pros, wished I had one. If I'm accepted into LCB next year, I'll get it before I go. Wheee. On a much heavier note. I need the dentist. My tooth bloody hurts. One of my molars came off last year and instead of patching it back, I procrastinated till now, that it has a hole the size of 2 molars instead. I better get it done, before my entire tooth disintegrates and rots and whatever term the dentist uses. Ah, decaying teeth. Which would probably mean an injection. Damn it, I hate pain. I wish I could be under general anaesthesia (spelling error I know, but I'm not a doctor sprouting those words day in day out) for a simple thing as extraction. Hopefully can just patch back and save me a tooth. *Oh help God! -edit @1540hrs- I find it damn strange when both of you stop talking to me at the same time. Like BOTH. sigh. -edited @ 2248hrs- I told myself a million times that I will not like you. I will not like you. I will not like you. I will not like you. I will not like you. I will not like you. I MUST NOT like you. I CANNOT like you.

After whining to a few people this week about wanting the Fred Perry bag, I finally bought it yesterday. Whee. I met Rainer and Gracie in the afternoon and they went with me to get it. haha. Rainer was like, "You see! You should have gotten it last week!" and said I can go home and take a picture of the paperbag and the bag to post it on my blog. haha. He has a 10% discount due to the amount he spent last week which was, to say the least, eye-popping on 2 polo shirts. But it looked good, and good stuff sometimes don't come cheap. When Gracie saw the bag, she said, "Yeah you should get it. It's nice." Pretty much settled when she said that. Popped into the shop and came out in 10 mins I think. Then it was K (again, third time in 7 weeks) with 12 people in total and it was quite hilarious, to say the least) because Glenn and Samson was singing all these english songs like Numb by Linkin Park, It's Not Over by Daughtry, etc. And we went to Vivo after that because Glenn wanted to shop. But there wasn't anything nice. So we headed to Marche which I totally enjoyed. Because of Rosti, Mushrooms and Fruity Crepe with Caramelita Ice Cream, the last two which I shared with Eunice. Eunice and I were just walking round and round looking for food, and we didn't know what to get, because everything looked so good! I wanted plain crepe at first, but she said, mind as well add the fruits. So we did, and it was freaking filling! Justin gave us half portion of his chocolate mousse too, and the 2 of us finished that as well. Total orgasmic experience. Whee.

I went to the Aussie University fair held my IDP yesterday with my folks. Only reason being Le Cordon Bleu had a representative there and I wanted to talk to him/her. He reintinerated what I had expected from LCB and my mind's made up about attending that school. Also, he was very kind, saying to let him know when I've submitted my application so that they all can watch out for it. How nice right? You don't find that in local schools anyway. And besides, he's the marketing manager! You don't expect that from a person of that position. Ok, LCB takes in about 45 applicants per intake; there's 4 per year. So if nothing goes wrong, I should be applying for the April or July 2008 intake. I haven't decided to just do the 9 months certification program (which is more than adequate for being a chef) or the 2.3 years Advance Diploma in Culinary Management program because the difference in fees is *drum roll.. AUD $20,000. No kidding. But I'm gravitating towards the 9months program, so most likely I'll take that. Kayi and I are going bonkers about macaroons. I bought her a box of them from Canele and she's like, "ooooooooo". haha. I feel like having some now. haha. Look how cute a french bakery did them. -edit- She said she didn't go "oooooooooooo". More like "arghhhhhOOOOOOarghhhhh". Or somewhere along those lines.

This is about a day late, due to my stupidity for not bring a cable to transfer photos out of my memory card. My Sony Ericsson's wonky and I can't transfer anything using it, so the only other option for me is to put the memory card into my PSP and then transfer out from there. Which by the way, is troublesome, as I have to plug in my card then my charger then my cable. ... ... ... I swear I love Augustine. haha. That's what I told him the night before, and he replied, "Yeah I know, since the day you met me right?" -_-||| His parents weren't home, and Mylene (his maid) wasn't as well, he was thinking what to get for dinner. Then he suggested cooking, which I then asked if he'll cook for me if I came over. When he said yes, I went to meet him at Cold Storage after dinner. Seafood Pasta, Rosti, Beef Steak, Meatballs and Mussells, which he, Aloysious (his brother), Mylene and I ate. Naishhh. =) And then, Turtle Soup (Ben and Jerry's concoction) for dessert. I was one happy person.

I swear I'd like some good vanilla ice cream now. Like right now, at this moment. I miss Kapiti ice cream. Don't ask me why I have this craving, I just feel like eating it. My favourite site to see food online is Martha Stewart's. It never fails to tempt my tastebuds and currently looking at it, it's not help my craving at all. I love food a whole lot, figures why I'm chubby. Ok, not chubby, but fat. But I don't mind it, because I'm aware of it myself. I rather be like that, than be so consious of my weight that it becomes a disorder. haha. *big grin. Of course, not over-eating. My Favourite Foods. 1. Freshly baked Waffles 2. Irish Cream Ganache Chocolates 3. Fish and Chips 4. Spaghetti stirred-fried in olive oil with garlic and button mushrooms 5. Good ole' Vanilla Ice Cream with bits of vanilla in it 6. Smores! and oh! I found the Chocolatier game already! Quite fun.
