IKEA, Fullerton & Much more

The week hasnt quite ended but i thought i should quickly jot down some of the interesting things i've done before the list gets longer and my post gets longer and there will be a eventual greater risk of me falling asleep when i finally type it. haa.. u get what i mean! :)

Before i start rattling abt what i've been busy with, i should post this pic.

|面搀搀|Man... this is the best thing at science canteen in my opinion. I took this picture on the day we had OSCE test and had a wonderful start to my day with this.

So what have i been busy with since i came back from malaysia?

My family has decided to replace my dinning table chairs cos they've grown wobbly. It was interesting to know that my dinning table, though doesnt look fantastic, cost a lot cos NO nails were used! The downside of such design and supposed precision in workmanship is the interlocking parts of the wood loosens with time and the furniture eventually becomes wobbly.
Anyway, we bought new wooden chairs from ikea and because i'm the free one now, it's my responsibility to fix them :)
Also, the bottom left corner shows my shelf in-the-fixing. I've got 3 new shelves! Yay :)

To make space for new shelves, i had to remove this old shelf which suspended my CD player :)


I also had to take down my tulip portrait cos i now have to hang it higher. So i will post a photo of my room after i finalise everything! :)

Y'know, i'm really envious of some people who do not have built-in furniture like i do, cos they have the flexibility of changing the position of their furniture as and when they want! Wenhui and Weixiang, be thankful k!


While reorganising my storage spaces in my room, i rediscover some of my old toys. The above are just 3 of them. The robot is worth mentioning cos it has "2002" inscribed on it like year 2002 was a super advanced year 30 yrs ago. Hee.. if u're wondering why i own a robot, it's cos i grew up with my male cousins playing guns, robots and planes. LOL. But, like all girls, i got plenty of barbie dolls for my bday. I'm considering giving my barbie dolls and house away.. They take up far too much space!

Next, JAYMIE i found this!

Rmbr the tarepanda bowl u got for me for my bday? Dont ask me why i still keep the box, but i still do plus the candle too! :)

Yesterday was quite an eventful day cos wanzhen accidentally cut herself after tripping over a sharp & pointy edge of a display at Tangs. The folks there were really nice and they rushed her immediately in their company van to their company clinic to get the wound checked. It looked really nasty cos it was bleeding so profusely! Wanzhen, I hope ur foot gets well soon! :)

Last night and today, i attempted to make Sunset cake for the first time. I was considering this cake for Weizhen's bday but
(1) The cake is qt troublesome to make
(2) does not have height

I'm so glad tt i decided to try out this recipe or weizhen's cake is going to less than 1.5 inches tall!

I shall modify the recipe, PLEASE PRAY FOR ME FRIENDS. I hope everything goes well and the bday girl + pple present will like the cake!

Last but not least, the very reason why i'm still up at such an unearthly hour, Gab's Bday treat to Chocolate Buffet at Fullerton!

To Gab, It was awesome! The last time i was this happy with chocolate was at the chocolate museum. Y'know, there was a gold cocoa tree-shaped fountain and visitors could dip their waffer into the pool of chocolate. But your party was better! cos my enjoyment didnt stop at just looking at chocolate and a waffer:) It was just WHOA for me! Yayy... Tonight's experience renewed my love for chocolate and i'm so inspired to create pretty desserts like those on display there. I also managed to talk to one of the chef and she told me a weebit (prob cos it's trade secret) abt how to get the crunchy layer of the fullerton cake. I shall try it out one day! But just that layer is a lot of work, but i should try, since i like it sooo much :):)

I have NO idea that chocolate can keep me awake. Or was it the tea which i also love a lot too? Hmm.. makes me wonder.

Perhaps it's just a simple reason... I'm happy :)
