Ziggy 1997 – 2007

November 30, 2007

Another cat of mine passed away this morning. Couldn’t really figure out what was the problem, but we saw it coming. Similar to Ginger’s problem – weight loss & no appetite, but Ziggy had some gum problem which would probably lead to his eating disorder. Force feeding failed, but at least he died quicker and peacefully compared to Ginger.

Rest In Peace

Dear Blog

November 24, 2007

Guess I’ve been struck with shit luck lately. Either that or my mom has been praying extra hard that I don’t go out drinking.

I’m homebound this wonderful friday night. Funny how I’ve been waiting for my exams to end just to go out and have a blast, maybe score myself with a cute guy if I’m really lucky

…. but you know what dear blog?

NO, IT DIDN’T HAPPEN SO FAR!

Bloody hell, friends always seem to be busy when I want to have fun. Sigh

Yes, I’m extra bitchy tonight. I’ve been patient for too long but like they say, every dog has its day.

Hopefully mine comes soon

Ipoh Mali

November 19, 2007

Will be off to Ipoh tomorrow

Household work to be expected. Probably some cooking/baking as well

Should be back on Friday as I’ve decided not to follow my uncle for camping in Lumut. Somehow I feel that there will be an opportunity for booze this friday. I might be wrong, but that doesn’t matter as I still have projects to be completed back home. I can do without sleeping in a tent though it sounds fun

By the way, have you folks read about that UPSR student who committed suicide?

The amount of pressure kids are being placed under is insane

Petits Pains De Vanille

November 18, 2007

In an attempt to bring failure back to success after an unsatisfactory baking session two days ago, I decided to come back in full swing with a vengeance this time with a batch of vanilla muffins.

The recipe? plain vanilla muffins, with my own slight modifications of course!

Vanilla Muffins

Vanilla Muffins

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda (my own addition)
1/2 tsp Salt
8 tbs Butter
1 cup Sugar
3 Eggs
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Essence (I used 1 1/2 tablespoon instead to really bring out the flavour)
3/4 cup Milk

*Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celcius

In a large bowl, cream the butter with sugar, then add in the eggs one by one followed by vanilla essence

Sift the powders together. To the creamed butter, sugar, eggs and essence – add in the sifted powders and fold gently, followed by milk. Do it step by step until all the flour and milk is added.

Put into muffin trays and bake for 20 minutes! Once it’s nicely done, extract some creative juices and let the decorations take place. I did three different types of decorations. One was a light dusting with icing sugar and coco powder. The other was choc olate chips and icing sugar dusting while the last one was brushed with a thin layer of icing sugar cream and some colourful sprinkles.

Makes 18!

Success! I am satisfied!

It won’t last long though, everybody wants to have a bite :D

Dial P for Party Time!

November 16, 2007

What do people do after their exams? Why they PARTY silly!

Not before finishing up a couple of projects back home though. Since Christmas is around the corner, the house needs its annual spring cleaning and re-touching. Apart from that, I’ve a few personal projects on my own, the major one would be re-painting my bicycle. Yes! I’m a virgin at this and I hope everything goes well apart from my grease stained hands. It’s going to be tough sanding all the previous coat of paint down but thanks to a handy man in the family, life is easier. I just hope I get the bicycle back in ‘working’ condition once everything is done. Hehe

May be heading down to Ipoh some time next week to help out with cleaning at Grannys. Where’s the party you say?

Well it’s next month in Singapore! Im ready to Zoukout with thousands of other people on Siloso beach. Problem will be accomodation for the time being and I hope everything will be settled soon, not to mention settling a budget as well. I don’t want to come home horridly broke. The 12 hour party will start from 8pm right up to 8am and let’s see if my party biatches can withstand the whole stretch!

Woot! Talk about partying till the sun comes up! I can’t wait!

Thanks For Everything

November 8, 2007

Hey you, I don’t know what came over me yesterday, but it was good talking to you online despite the brief chat since you’re at work and all.

I was going to an open house this afternoon for Diwali and on the way, I passed by the route to your housing area. Even as I left the house, I started reminiscing the days we were ONE since travelling through that long stretch of asphalt was enough to stir my mind about you. The journey was long … long indeed even before reaching the turn-off to your place. It got me thinking about how you used to come over almost every single weekend just to pick me up, going through such a long journey just to come see me. It must have costed you a lot just to come see me. Not only that, considering the amount of money and time you’ve spent on me, you were still there to provide for me.

Though things didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to be, I just want to say thank you for all the things you’ve done for me as your boyfriend. I’ve never had another guy make so much sacrifices for me before and you’re the first.

It was good being with you ……. really. Thank you

Writing Miles

November 7, 2007

Isn’t it ironic how u check the level of ink in your pen before the exams start (with good amounts of ink left) and just after 3 days of examinations, your pen runs dry at the VERY LAST SENTENCE OF YOUR ESSAY ?!

I had to finish my last sentence with a blue pen borrowed from a lecturer.

The life of my black pen has come to an end.
