I think my brain's a little neurotic this weekend. For no reason, I went on a baking spree again for more cheesecakes and tiramisu! Don't ask me why I have this weird habit, but yeah, just wanted to bake for fun...again, with tiramisu being mine and my mum's new creation. On sat, I failed in my attempt to repeat my cheesecake miracle. Apparently, I din heed my mum's advice and just poured all the ingredients together and mixed it up. What I got in the end was a miniature cheesecake that did not raise to enough height. Suckz... It looks really short, yeah, like.... So with revenge in mind, I woke up on sun to remedify the cheesecake. But 1st, my mum wanted to bake the base for the tiramisu and so I went along with her. It was so fun poking the the base with a fork and to palm my hands all over the base to flatten it out. ~whee~ Next up, the revenge of the cheesecake took place. This time, I bothered to separate the 4 egg whites and yolks from each other and had to beat them separately so that the egg white could be raised to increase the volume of the cheesy part of the cheesecake. Yeah, once that irritating part was done, everything else went on smoothly and the process was a breeze... I love beating up the ingredients manually with that metallic mixer and don't ask me why, coz I just love doing so! Tiramisu later was so much harder to do becoz I had no idea how to do it or what it looks like in the 1st place! Had to conscientiously follow my mum's instructions, who had no idea how to make either, and beat the ingredients day in day out... Yeah, am just glad that the tiramisu, after a little freezing with the refrigerator's help, turned out pretty well! My mum even reckoned to decorate the cake with some melted choc to make it look nicer... INDEED... I was *wowed* by the end creation! My mum's a bakery genius lah! Have fun looking becoz I dun think u can ever put them in your mouth...

carefully separating the egg yolk from the egg white!

and TATA... the c-h-e-e-s-e-c-a-k-e~! 

Just did something silly yesterday out of boredom and boy was it such a chore! Yah, I set a thought of running 30km in the evening...*madness* So after a little studying in school, I headed home asap to avoid missing out on my 6pm date with my shoes. Once again, I set off with my usual route - to MacRitchie via Bishan Park and Upper Thomson Road. However, there's a new twist to the route and that is to run finish the 10.5km road trail in MacRitchie and to run further this time to Hwa Chong JC. The run was pretty much the same, except that by the time I hit the jungle trail in MacRichie, it was so super pitch dark I could not see anything except the pebbles in front of me. Regret not eating more carrots and Vit A... *Damn* Yeah, it's so much worse than fright night because I was the only lonesome fellow running in the jungle trail (other than this white-shirt jogger whom we both gave each other a frightening shock) and with the insects screeching into the ears! I was so scared that I even hallucinated a croc or snake slithering in my path from the reservoir to eat me up! Yuckz, I even got lost for a while by tracking into the wrong path in the midst of the dark jungle! Thank goodness I managed to come out in 1 piece and appreciated my run after so much more... So I pushed on forward to HCJC via Lornie n Adam Roads after the freaky incident. Nothing unusual happened, except that I nearly got run down by the cars filtering out from PIE to Macritchie. Grr... Courteous drivers indeed... The tired legs finally reached HCJC after abt 1.5 hrs to enjoy a brief moment of reprieve before I U-turned back to Bishan. Gosh, the return journey seems to take forever and I surrendered with a white flag after finishing the MacRichie leg. Luckily I had my EZ-link card with me for a long bus journey home...

Yeah, and I konked out after the 22km run with 2 super heavy legs... :(

My mum said I was crazy today and for the 1st time, I totally agreed with her! y? That's because I just ran 18km from my house, through Bishan Parks I & II, Upper Thomson Road, to the end of MacRitchie Reservoir and back...in the RAIN! That's a cool 18km (nearly a 1/2 marathon) for an evening run, all in the name for preparations for the Singapore Marathon coming up on Dec 4! Have been clocking in at least 10km runs everyday since last Friday when Pharmaco paper ended... Gosh, it's really tiring, but at least I do enjoy these torturing runs and that's only because I'm crazy!

The weekend's been so super cool because for the 1st time, I could forget about the books and just do whatever I deem fit. On sat, I accompanied dear Meifang to Sim Lim to buy her latest pet, a cool grey Casio Ex-Slim S500 camera. Oh man, that little gadget costed nearly $700, but you have seen that delirious face of hers when she got hold of it... It was as though she was on top of the world! But wait, where do girls get the $$ to buy all these expensive stuff? So unfair, how come I do not have any? Damn... And yes, which reminds me that I must mention this theory - whenever a girl shops, she already has something that she wants in mind and never ever try to derail her from her train of buying thoughts. Otherwise, you get the joy of facing serious repercussions of having to think along with her whether A is good or B is better. Worse, you get a scolding for giving her too much choices to think of. Yeap, after the cool buy, we headed down to TCC near Raffles Place! GOSH! That place is way cool and the bean bag seats, oh man, they were way to comfy for my butt to leave! It's a nice place and the ambience is just right to just slouch, slack and talk!

On sun, haha, I baked my 1st ever cheesecake! Yes!! I baked! Nope, it was not for any girls, just a sudden adrenaline rush to bake... As simple as that... It was not as difficult as I thought, just some whipping of the cheese, crushing of the oreo biscuits and chucking it into the oven and waiting for the creation to be done. I'm glad the medicine peeps enjoy the cheesecake though I think the oreo base ought to be change to be sturdier. It was way to fluffy to be placed in the mouth. Thanks all of you for the good reviews and thanks to some of you who still doesn't think that it's created from my hands and that I bought it to pull your legs! So...I've decided... I'm gonna bake again this coming weekend to prove a point... and the menu's gonna be cheesecake, tiramisu and swissroll! Hope I got enough time...

Yeah, the same night, I finally had dinner with Jiajun, my karate dude, who's flying off to Philippines this thurs to fight in the SEA Games! Haven seen this guy for a damn long time and that's only because I've not attended squad training anymore too. Go go JIAJUN! Get the gold back for all of us! Show them that we are not whipping boys in this arena! I'll be watching you from the tv here in sg...

So many november babies this month! Happy birthday to wong yi, lynn, ee ting, yingci, bingzhu, michelle, ray, jian hong, denise! Whee! Hope you guyz had a great birthday despite the crap CAs!

ooo...sketches spagetti...the spicy thai sauce & tabasco spiced up my day! 

Cheers to Bingzhu the bday boy and Chris Ho!! 

I really reaLLY REALLY baked this! with my mum's help that is... 

Fresh from MY oven - the all new OREO CHEESECAKE! 

This Romanian song is getting all over me. All thanks to zhongyang who infected me with this song. Super duper infectious!

DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI by Haiducii

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha

Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum,
Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Shopping!! I think I'm in a crazy mood to shop! And I know now y gals like to shop, although I do too when I have $$! Haha, for the past 2 days, I bought a pair of jeans for $20 and 2 sets of Mizuno running jerseys with shorts for $30! Cheap cheap... and the only reason I'm happy to say I've shopped is because this is the 1st piece of clothing I bought in say like 4 months... Kaoz, that's LOONNNGGGG!!

Haven been feeling really good these days because of the CAs. Yup, I'm a pretty moody person, very moody and whiny in fact (all the time actually). I dunno why but I always like to complain about the most trival of stuff, like how stupid I am, how come others got gf/bf but I don't, how come others look good but I don't, how come others have $$ and cars but I don't and such... These days too, I'm also feeling that I'm starting to drift away from mankind, starting not to talk to people anymore. I think I need a little life and spark in my life... What would it be then? The answer: I've no idea and I'm still searching for it, maybe it might be the end of CAs. Hopefully, I won't take long cos I hate being in my own world away from others and I don't like it when I start shunting away from pple... Y? I do not know the answer either!

Donated my blood today and did a free health screening by NKF in sch.Health screening was cool... I remembered my erm, mid-stream pee, for the urine test and what the values of the different tests mean! There's only 1 glitch - I think I'm bloody fat because my body fat is 17.3%. *YUCKZ* That's a full 9.5kg of squishy-sqooshy fats slushing around in me!! I love donating blood too! I love the thought that these red packets of fluids coming from me can be used to save lives and help strangers whom I never would get to do so in practice in future! Koolz! But the lovely thought was marred by a news report that 5 pple got jailed for donated their AIDS infested blood to the blood bank... Pui! What did these 5 people think they were trying to do? Trying to spread their little wealth of viruses around when we in the medical profession are trying our best to curb its spread? If they think they're heroes by donating their blood, I would suggest they give their cerebrals a bloody knock! It's such an evil deed and if the blood wasn't checked, who knows how many innocent or immunosuppressed lives would have been robbed by these 5 people's selfishness! Grr... I HATE U 5 GUYS!!

Back to pharmaco to save more lives - in my dreams for the moment...

This weekend was gd! I love it when I study hard for tests and exams and love it even better to play hard after the papers. The studies and play were both great but the papers just had to be a BLOODY spoiler! What's the point of studying so hard for over 20 viruses we were expected to know in the lectures when everything out of lecture, meaning viruses we dun really have a clue abt, comes out? And my mum thinks I dun study for my tests, that's y I do not know... Well done ;(

Alrightz, but den, at least I finally got off to gym after the tests, after celebrating michelle's bday. Coolz, it's amazing to know how sneaky mich and rongster can keep their relationship under the wraps for so long and I never discovered it till today. Gosh, I'm how slow sia...! K, after gym, it was out in the sun for soccer..after such a long while. Haven touched the ball for so long and am so unused to the hefty running, making me breathless and panting like an ass. I was slow for most of the game and part of the reason is that I dun think I like soccer that much anymore. Watching the game is cool to me but playing the game just seems to be such a chore nowadays. But I'm still glad I'm out there sweating cos i hate sitting ard doing nothing. Later, I had a fun time at PeppersLunch @ Taka with meifang, daniel lim, wenz, james and chengyu. Food was gd, or rather i was super duper hungry, and the shopping later on was gd too, just that I lack a hell lot of cash!!

In exchange for soccer, I'm playing more frisbee and karate now. On sat, I had a hell of running and chasing the frisbee. Yeap, playing for muddygrass, a local club, and training up for next year's Singapore Open's. This year's performance was bad because the team lost all their good players and idiots like me din wanna play. Haha, but I hope there's a reversal of strength because all the good players are back in action and we are training earlier too. Hope I can get back my fitness in time. Weather on sat was so good that for the 1st time I could run 3 hrs non-stop back to back... Never happened before sia! On the hindsight, my phalanges were nearly broken because we were asked to throw damn hard the frisbee to each other. Woah, I was actually amazed I could still catch the disc at the end of day with so many bruises!

Yeap, and today, or rather yesterday, I turned up for karate after a 2 weeks break. Gosh, the aching body from the frisbee bashing just got punished even further during the karate training. The horse-stance, the punches, the kicks and the katas took a toil on my little body and made me sweat out like a mad pig. Boy, I think my karate standards have dipped lots and I'm in deep shit now. Like that how to train up for black belt in 6 month's time??

Later, I headed off to Jianghong's place to celebrate his bday! Boy, am I jealous of this lucky fellow cos he had a super nice cheesecake baked for him by his bevy of gals, mainly et, selene, toe, yingci and new addition, yingen! Yupz, I'm surprised but these gals actually made such a gd cake... Well done! Yeap, we got him a funny t-shirt on 'national breast awareness month' and a running addidas jersey. How apt for a guy like him! Hope he had a very good birthday because I think this lad deserves it all!

On a last note, I think the Premiership is finally getting onto track because LIVERPOOL just won their 1st away game by 2 goals somemore and CHELSEA the suckers just got beaten by a spirited man u team that just got nasty bite from roy keane! Whee...
