Didn't remembered that Zuxin's dad took photos of us when we were younger till she told me recently during our meetup. She whatsapp me the photos she took from the photo album with her phone and we were gushing over how cute we were hahas! We were P4 then, and we actually went around tpy to take photos for our project. It was probably my first ever school project :D Lots of memories, pictures for keeps (:
At the playground near my house, and interestingly, we were doing the same actions lols. For most of our photos actually. The one infront is Jiaying, the friend we lost contact. Zuxin's in red, and I'm at the back.
This is me! Her dad nicknamed me monkey lols because I climbed around alot. Etc would be the top of the monkey bars, since I couldn't really do the monkey bars due to my sweaty palms. I climbed on top of it literally during the game of blind man's buff so I wouldn't get caught haha. Don't know how I did that, I'd probably be too afraid of falling now.
Same action again, and I don't look that short here when compared haha.

Farewell never ends. Meeting the girls later to spend some more time before Cheryl heads to Aussie. Gonna dine at Nakhon kitchen which sells Thai food, recommended by pig.
Doing quite a few meetups this week somehow though school already started. Best before it gets busy too anyway. Wed is dinner with SIM mates. Thursday to celebrate Jiamin's 21st with IJ clique. And lastly Friday to meet up with my German classmates, Xinyu who is back from UK after more than 6 months once again and for the first time Michelle is gonna join us. Gonna be great! Can't wait :D

Had a great stay at RWS on Saturday :D
Went earlier to check in with aunt, mum & dear, while the other arrived much much later.
Group photos are in sis bf camera so these are what I have (:
Hmm we were asked if we wanted Merlion, USS or Resort view and so we picked USS with the aim to see fireworks from our room which we missed since we were dining at Imperial Treasure later that night. ):
I could hear people screaming from the room. Lols!
The pizza were rather ex, range from $28 to $34 each!
What they recommended: topped with cavier on thick cream cheese, with potato spread. Tasted good :D
I loved the smoked salmon pizza!
This was beef pepperoni I think. Not bad but still prefer the top 2.
Mozzarella cheese with tomato spread. Didn't tried this, anyway this was ordered specially for sis bf, but I really don't think it's worth it. $28 for this without meat-.-
Imperial Treasure's xlb is the best compared to Crystal Jade and Ding Tai Fung really.
Didn't get to snap all the food since it was gone pretty fast and I was busy eating too.
First time trying this honey banana fritters which was dipped into icy cold water before serving. Sis ordered. It's not bad but not that great either in my opinion, but apparently she likes it.

On a side note, my first attempt at baking lasagna and second attempt at making mushroom soup from scratch.
Since first attempt was during home economics lesson in secondary 2 lols.

They tasted good! :D
But the lasagna's steps especially were tedious.

Last batch of my baking for the holidays,
since I'll be starting school next week and will probably disappear from the blogsphere too lols.
Shortbread cookies! It was fun stamping out the cookie shape with the cookie cutter :D
S'mores mud cupcake! I modified the recipe to combine s'mores and mud cake together and I loveddd how it turned out though it had pretty many steps. Toasting the marshmallow to get the toasted effect was tough since it gets burned easily if careless, which did happened. But overall, definitely worth the time and effort.
Biscuit crumbs for the bottom layer followed by mud cake, topped with chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow.
Absolutely sinful! But delicious :D

Haven't been blogging much..
Basically time has changed, with abundant forms of social networks as well as more hectic schedules.
Not many people blogged as much or blog hop as frequently anymore..
Not compared to when I was in secondary school to maybe early poly days, where it's a norm to blog hop through our network of links & tag each others' tagboard.
For one at least I know I don't now either.
So I guess I'll just blog when I feel like it haha.
I guess at least it's more private and personal than FB, not that I have much readers now anyway except closer friends so it's like a secret haven? and yes I think I do kinda prefer more privacy as compared to last time too. (:
Did some baking during my holidays, more than ever actually, compared to previous holidays.
Trying to make full use of my break.
Attempted most of the new stuff with my younger sister too. Our common interest :D
Anyway still have few more stuff I'd like to try out during my remaining holiday.
Custard puffs
Packed these for dear. Custard puff plus the not so successful macarons lols.
Though they still taste nice I guess. Shall try macarons again soon.
