yum yum batik cake!

I don't know why but these few days I kept browsing through my old blog posts especially those in late 2006 (Well I only started blogging last year anyway). Reading the posts and comments brought smiles to my face, and I realise that blogging is really a good way to remember memories because I usually blog in detail. Names, time, place and what happened...all of them came fresh to my mind when I read the posts. The loveliest part is of course the comments from my dear readers. From reading my old posts, I realise how I have become...and how much fun I had last year. I realise how much I treasure my friends. I even felt touched by some special posts, written by me myself! Can't believe that I actually wrote those...such creativity. (No this is not ss-ing. It's a fact.) Sometimes I wonder whether my blogging skills has deteriorated this year...but Sheila from the International Student Support Unit said that I'm a good essay writer when she read my essay assignment. I was quite surprised when she said that. Am I?

I realise that I wrote a lot of posts about me missing my friends but recently I didn't write anything about missing friends. I guess missing friends has become a part of my life...a routine of my days here, to the extent that when I see a certain object or something or some action it'd just remind me of this friend or that friend.

Mid semester break has started. I bet it's going to be an interesting week with plans to go here and there. Yesterday morning Ryan, Adriel, Yun Ying and me went to Springvale for some grocery shopping. Yun Ying and I were shopping for ingredients to bake cake. Later in the afternoon we baked batik cake and it turned out delicious! Though its appearance may not look nice but 'don't judge a book by its cover' right? It's just so yummy! I'm glad that we have the same hobby, Yun Ying =D

I love big kitchen =P See how messy it was...but we did clean up after that

Me stirring the mixture...mmm, chocolate!

Out came this from the oven!

And guess what...when Phik Lun came in the evening, she brought something similar to what we made! But ours was baked in the oven and hers was kept cool in the refridgerator...great minds think alike eh? =P
