i wanna strangle something.

i know. i know im supposed to update on the weekend – jaime’s bday, zoukfest and joey’s wedding. but i cant do jackshit now. i missed my 8am class. i really want to make it at 9am but the traffic is seriously fucked here. FUCKED. i repeat to demonstrate the enormity, F U C K E D. i wouldn’t be able to make it. argh fucking kills me, man. it’s not like i even went to bed late. wtf? just when i want to start the semester with a clean slate and perfect attendance, this has to happen.

I kid you not. Iā€™m perfect.

First of all, in spite of the little crazy episode I had with myself this morning (which prompted me to head to the bakery – bought 5 different kinds of crabmeat buns + a chocolate donut, ate ALL in 2 hours while watching Grounded For Life, The Casino and yes, Oprah), I received my result transcript from college. Guess whatā€¦I got FIRST CLASS for accounting. I repeat, first bloody class. I am speechless and I am almost sure that they must have made a mistake (though I definitely am not complaining). Anyone who has been reading my blog would know I am incredibly bummed when it comes to accounting (read here, here, here and here) and I skipped almost every class last year. So what can I deduce from this? Wellā€¦firstly, I am a genius and secondly, I am invincible.

Iā€™m happy and giddy again.

Lets hop over to our next subject – Jaimeā€™s birthday. You could read about it from STā€™s blog. My most memorable things about it were the sinfully delicious kiwi cake and the angmoh who was stuck in the 80s. He was awfully hilarious (read: squinching his skinny butt and pirouetting incessantly). Oh yeah, and I love the new bras I bought for Chinese New Year.

Self-explanatory. Iā€™m officially perfect.

Now on to Zoukfest. I would say itā€™s not bad for my first rave. I wasnā€™t actually tipsy (Okay, I do hate beer and every other kinds of alcoholic beverages except Jolly Shandy and gin & juice – why the latter didnā€™t come through I donā€™t know :C ) so those music became quite annoying and monotonous after an hour. FA and I scurried off to Ghetto Heaven where we danced behind the stage, right at the entrance to main arena (probably annoying the cops). After 5 songs, I was collapsing but FA was still dancing, 3 times the speed of everyone elseā€¦Energizer bunny!!!! OMG if only you were a boy, we could hump up a stormā€¦I LOVE YOUUUUUUU FA!!!! Read STā€™s account on it. Iā€™m just going to rip some pictures from his camera. Oh and btw, my jacket is a genuine Nike and even IF it looked like some Chinese immigrant getup (which it doesnā€™t! itā€™s VINTAGE = classy, ok!) itā€™s still a NIKE and it cost me almost RM200, ok? Donā€™t hate me coz Iā€™m beautifulā€¦

Freezing to death but had to take a few un-bakchang pictures :P

And on to Joeyā€™s wedding. She was really beautiful and Vincent was glowing as well. By the end of the dinner, Vincentā€™s pissed and was speaking in Italian. He also said something alone the line of, ā€œDonā€™t worry I can still light my candle tonightā€. Food was mediocre at best and the air-con was kind of whacked, but the point of wedding dinners is to celebrate a happy union so I ainā€™t going to talk negatively about it (which sadly, seems rather popular among fellow chinese nowadays). Not going to pile on any bad karma now, would I? Pictures soon.

Friday. Yay.

I woke up this morning in time for Jamie Oliver’s cooking show and I got bitten by the baking bug. He was giving out this really simple chewy chocolate cake recipe and coincidentally, I have most of the ingredients needed. So, I baked a cake.

Twins.

Cake got the better of me even before I managed to snap a photo of it.

There are two because I didn’t want the cake to be too thick. Anyway, I think it’s pretty good, cause I already ate half of cake number one. I just had a piece from the fridge, oh my gawd the texture tasted like brownie, solid but chewy. Yum…

In case you like to know the recipe :

  • 200g of sugar and 200g of butter beaten till creamy.
  • Add 200gm of self-raising flour and beat again (I used ordinary flour and 2 teaspoon of baking powder).
  • Fold in 3 eggs.
  • Dissolve a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder with water and add into the batter. (I used melted cooking chocolate instead).
  • Fold in almond flakes (which I didn’t) and chocolate chunks (which I did).
  • Pour into pan and bake for 20 mins at 180 degree celcius.

Thought I was going to bring the other one for the gang. Turned out Jaime’s celebrating her birthday in Bangsar tonight so I’m bringing the cake there instead.

I’ve opened a Multiply account. Go check it out :D

Who’s going to Zoukfest tomorrow? I am. Lets party!!!!!!!!!!!!

I nicked too much chocolate batter and ate too much chocolate cakes. ARGH. Gonna go workout now. Peace.
