These are the sesame cookies that my sister and I baked. They tasted more like biscuits than cookies 'cause it was saltier than normal cookies would taste like. My family said they tasted good but maybe they were just being nice? I bet they sucked lah but honestly, right, I like the taste a lot whey. Damn nice. :9 Cheh, because you baked them what. Shush, keep your mouth shut.
I like this picture. My photography skills good ah? :3
Damn nice, right? Yea, I know. No need to praise us, hahaha.We went to our cousins' house in Malacca for CNY. On the last night, we went to sing karaoke. My first time. But the sound system there sucked and the place was so stuffy. Perhaps it's because our whole extended family was crammed into one room, LOL.
Cousins from Singapore! :DRight after we came back the next morning, I met up with Su Li in the afternoon. We chilled out at the club and talked about anything and everything. There was also one Malay dude there and he kept staring at us because we were in the reading room and we were supposed to be quiet. Aiya, as if we gave a damn about him. Okay, that's mean. We're sorry, random person, for making so much noise in the reading room. :S
Owlie. 8) Our friendship didn't fade although we're kinda like having a "long distance relationship".
We had this for lunch. Yummy lasagna with all the oozing cream cheese! Fattening but I don't care (actually, I do).My parents have been so kind to me lah lately. My mum allowed me to sleepover at Mun Yeed's house, ZOMG! Can't believe it because I can clearly recall the exact words she told me when I slept over at my friend's house five years ago : This is your first and last time. No more forever. Wow, I didn't know her "forever" was this looong. Good, I like. :B
Amanda and I went to Mun Yeed's house but unfortunately, she couldn't sleep over. Ohwellz, better than nothing, right? Mun Mun's house was suuuper big. And long. When she showed us around and we were walking deeper and deeper into the house, I was wondering where's the end. It's true! We baked macarons after chatting for a while.
BTW, that's Aaron, Mun Yeed's brother.
My sister said this mixer is her dream gift but it's too costly. AND MUN YEED HAS IT. :O No lah, it's because her dad loves to cook so they own a lot of cooking thingamajig.
Three egg whites, a lot of sugar plus plenty of mixing gives you this foamy texture. It's freaking sweet. There's like 1.5 cups of sugar in there. Diabetes, anyone?
Amanda! I have that shirt, too. Haha.
Piping the macaron babies!
After that, it was time to send them into the oven. I love how the way they start to rise, so adorable.
Looks like buns.
NICE, RIGHT? 8D I know.
But they don't really look like macarons...
We didn't have enough baking paper(?) left so we used tin foil, instead. Wrong move, people, wrong move. :/
THEY GOT STUCK TO THE TIN FOIL. -_- And we didn't even line it with butter first, genius betul.
But it's okay, Amanda did all the work by removing them from the foil. Good job! (Y)
End product! Success! :D Damn sweet but still... SUCCESS!We had a scrumptious lunch made by Mun Yeed's dad. He's a really great chef. Best lunch ever whey. The food is better than in restaurants.
This pie, my friend, is super delicious.After we had lunch, we had to fill the macarons. We spread peanut butter inside because it's a little bit salty and can cover up the too-sweet taste of the macarons (1.5 cups of sugar, remember?).
Skippy peanut butter!
FIRST SUCCESSFUL MACARON! 8D So proud!
Ohai. Mun Mun showing off the RM15 loaf of bread.
Seeing this makes me sigh. *sighs* Hahaha, looks too heavenly lah.
Amanda went back after we watched My Girlfriend Is An Agent (freaking nice Korean movie) and since Ashley (Mun Yeed's sister) insisted to go for a walk with Snowy (their noisy dog) so we went.
Outside their house. Freaking wide road, man. Can house a party already lah.
Her sister, Ashely.When we rounded the corner, Mun Yeed went to call out Ken Fong to join us. I took random pictures while we waited for him to come.
If only the leaves were in shades of orange, red and yellow, it'll be perfect. #ilovefall
Best buddy and I. :)
Snowy on the swing! Hahaha, too cute!
We went to Ken Fong's house later since his parents weren't home. Surprisingly, his house wasn't as long as Mun Mun's. He also owns two dogs called Luna and Brownie.
Luna is the black one, Brownie is the white one. I don't even know why it's called Brownie when it's white. Makes no sense at all.No pictures for the rest of the day because Mun Yeed didn't really like camwhoring. We did our homework (so rajin) and talked till 2.00am, OMG. I had a migraine when I went home the next day but it was worth it. :D Never regretted going to Mun Mun's house!
During the weekend, our family with five other families went to Tanah Aina Resort (I think). It's like a nature/adventure trip and frankly speaking, I wasn't looking forward to it because most of my parties were on Saturday and Sunday. Four, to be exact. I missed them all. -_-
But the trip turned out to be so relaxing! :D
Super nature-ish whey. Like old times, my friend. *reminisces*We climbed mountains just to get to the peak. So steep and scary. Mana tau on top of the mountain was a waterfall. Our guides told us to go diving but I didn't dare. Too high above the ground, scary. My sister and my dad went, though. It takes guts and balls whey. :O I just sat on a huge rock and took pictures - perfect excuse.
At night, we sang karaoke (my second time!) and then went night tracking up a hill. I was too lazy to go at first but the guide told us there was a surprise waiting for us up there so I went. When we reached the top, we sat down facing a huge ravine; it was creepy. AND THEN THEY TOLD US TO SWITCH OFF ALL OUR FLASHLIGHTS. Kanasai, I almost peed in my pants lah.
Suddenly, there were bombing sounds! WE WERE UNDER ATTACK! Aiyo, firecrackers lah, noob. They were shooting up into the night sky directly behind us. ._. I was quite startled but at least I took a nice shot of one. :)
Yay for firecrackers! (Alright, I admit it. This is the only beautiful one, the rest of them failed. *hangs head in shame*)The next day, WE WENT FLYING-FOXING! Is there even such a word? Aiya, who cares lah. IT WAS THE BOMBZ. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! You should try it some time, it's not even scary! I felt so freeeee. :D
So fun! I wanted to do it again but didn't have the chance. One person can only do it once. Ohwellz, at least I've had my fair share of it.
More random nature pictures. I love this.We went back home after lunch and I didn't regret going at all. A part of me felt sad that I couldn't go to all the parties but that's okay, at least I've made new friends. I had school the following day and the homework came gushing in again like a tidal flood but during the weekend, Amanda, Wei Yin and I went to Lucas' party. Mun Yeed couldn't join us because she had no transport; her parents went outstation (kononnya). We were kinda reluctant to go at first because we didn't know anyone there but we went lah, in the end.
Hi.We were so right that we didn't know anyone there. So awkward. And Ivan kept saying we were antisocial. True story, unfortunately. We just sat around and chitchatted, avoiding the crowd. We even had dinner on the lawn but I'm not complaining; Lucas' house was like a hotel. Ginormous, I must say. The food served was also tasty; we stuffed ourselves with satays, nom nom nom. No wonder I'm like super round now, FML.
See her hungry face. :P
Camwhoring on the lawn.
Weird face expressions! (Y)
Wei Yin, you look good here dhey. :]Oh, did I mention my AWESOME parents allowed me to sleepover at Amanda's house? Double ZOMG! TWO SLEEPOVERS IN A MONTH, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Before the miracle happened, Amanda and I were just kidding that I should sleepover at her house but MANA TAU my parents said YES. They've finally gone crackers.
TROLOLOL. Love that meme, so cute. Anyway, Wei Yin and I bunked in Amanda's house and we had so much fun. We slept at 5am. :O Other people wake up at 5am, we sleep at 5am, what nonsense is this, hahaha. Loads of laughter was heard from Amanda's room, I'm sure; we were laughing like MAD. Mad, as in, like mad people with mental problems. All the stupid things that we talked about, secrets traded between us, total madness. I enjoyed every single moment of it. *megustaface.jpg*
The host of our unplanned sleepover. So pretty lah, right? :3
And the two siao sakais who slept over at her house because we were homeless. :B
Cheh, wanna pose then pose lah. No need to 假假 act shai shai. :P
Moustaches. :3
I don't know whether it's the lighting or our dumb expressions but three of us look SUPERBLY GOOD here. FUHHH, WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS? I heart this snapshot to the core.
OMG, RETARDED SIAL, HAHAHAHA.
Gorgeous Wei Yin. :3
Amanda going French with her braid and one heck of a perasan monkey behind, HAHAHAHA.
My charm bracelet. :D
It has a story behind it. Ask me if you wanna know. :)It was kinda late already but we were still very hyper so we made light trails! :D
Wei Yin's heart.
Amanda's failed light trails, haha.
LIGHT PAINTING! I love this. She looks so goddamn cool here. Like a MAFIA boss. 8)
My failed name. Looks like squiggles, WTH.
Crazy asses, LMAO.Amanda was the first one to conk out so Wei Yin and I continued gossiping without her. Eventually, we went to sleep, too. It was a marvie night spent with my two buddies.
We woke up at 10am the next day. Not bad, right? Only five hours of sleep. AND I DIDN'T GET A MIGRAINE, YAYYY! 8D We went shopping in 1U but before that, we had breakfast at Auntie Anne's. One cinnamon pretzel for me. :d We didn't really shop because the stuff there was too expensive (for me) so we just went gallivanting around.
Read the sign. HAHAHAHA, EPIC.
Mah homies. 8)We had lunch first then I bought some clothes from Cotton On. Striped tees! Two of them! IN DIFFERENT COLOURS. :D I feel so proud of myself for wasting money. No, don't get me wrong. Whenever I go shopping, I don't buy anything because it's EITHER me being ambivalent about two tees then I don't buy any of them because I hate choosing OR I'm too stingy to buy a new pair of shoes because I'm afraid there'll be no money left to pay for my education next time. IKR, lame betul. But seriously, I'm like that. I always return with the same amount of money. ._. That's why I hate shopping. It's also good in a way because I save a lot of money. :)
Lunchkins in Vietnam Kitchen.
I'm like a freaking pig.We walked around while we waited for Amanda's mum to pick us up. Of course, we couldn't help camwhoring. After switching schools to Sri KL, I'm not camera-shy anymore. :D Oh, wait. I was never camera-shy...
We almost bought these tees lah but Amanda's mum had arrived so we left the clothes at the rack. Actually, I was kinda ambivalent (AS USUAL) about whether I should buy it or not which is why we wasted so much time there. Now I think about it, I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT. ==So, we hopped in the car and zoomed off. Wow, the most productive day in my entire life. Sometimes, I impress myself with my own ambivalence and my ability to waste SO much time. *rolls eyes* YOU AND YOUR INDECISIVENESS! RU MIN, WILL YOU EVER CHANGE?!!
Teehee, took pictures in the car on the way back.Well, it was two splendid days with my two best buddies. I've enjoyed every single minute that we've spent together.
Amanda and Wei Yin, I love you guys! :]Alright, my story ends here. I thank God for a fantastic Chinese New Year. I hope I've enlightened you with my lame jokes, WTH. On a side note, I might blog about macarons again in my next post so stay tuned!
