pinks and blues

well i just had the best end of week celebration ;)
first of all i msned with george clooney (i kid you not) and just because i know no one else believes me i took a printscreen

then for yanneng's 21st (happy birthday babe;) cheryl and i (again) did really pretty strawberry cupcakes and blueberry muffins. we didnt take alot of pictures this time round cos i was feeling sleepy. but anyway the strawberry cupcakes look amazing (the batter was a very pretty pink( remember our pink cookies??) ) and then we did frosting on the top and it was a crowd favourite. although some seem to prefer the healthier tasting blueberry muffins. those were gd as well.

foods

(pictures kinda not in order but who cares they look pretty)
let me send you into the throes of heavenly fats: banana muffins( we made over twenty and at the end of the night the IR warriors left only one surviving muffin); lemon meringue pie and cupcakes (it looks too pretty, also because this is all before i dropped a clip onto it hahaha. i loved the lemon paste thingy so much i finished one whole pot of it. im serious!); kaya (its really yummy despite how it looks, and we cant really seem to get it to not curdle) ; oyako don (inspired by Sakura's menu and delicious foods we decided to try our hand at it. okay fine who am i kdding- cheryl tried her hand at it. it was really gd! )

and obviously there'll be more to come, and thats why ive started running with cheryl (yeah i know hey you stop laughing) and well a start is always something. lets hope we keep this up! both the running AND the foods.
:)
shawn is evil.

the most adorable strawberries

they all look incredibly cute. they're really small and they all look so perfect. every single one looked like a little heart shape if you hold them upright and they all had a perfectly symmetrical leafy thing on top. but of course i finished them in one sitting - with sugar drizzled on top :) just the perfect way to eat your strawberries!

had a very productive night - and wound up with gu ice cream and greys, again. not being able to wash my hair is a good excuse to not exercise! but then again i do wish my wound would heal faster so that i can do normal stuff again (i.e. wash my hair)


and jerald just threatened me to stop skipping school cos he doesnt want to lend me anymore notes. oops;) it was just one weeeekk and now i have loads to catch up on. but its okay i kinda like what im learning now in year two (except property, i still dont like property theres something wrong with what we're studyingg)

time flies and i only have two more weeks left of school, then after christmas break i only have ten more weeks of school and its the end of my second year at LSE. i know maybe its become i spend alot of time lazing around and having a good time, but its just scary to know that so soon, so near, id be done with my studies and id start my life as a working adult.
cant wait;)

two weeks of school

and im feeling quite lazy already. ;) well maybe not lazy, but some sort of a perverse rebellion to everything that everyone is doing. conversation btwn me and a friend
me: so are you continuing french this year?
fren: no im busy this year
me: huh with what
fren: apps.
me: what?
fren: applications. to companies.

well he's not the only one and honestly everyone's getting pretty uptight and stressed about applications for internships/vacation schemes/pupilage/whatnots. ive been to two company presentations and that isnt alot, but i think i have a pretty good idea where im headed towards, just that i havent actually got down to doing anything yet. everyone around me seems to have their cv up somehow, and spoken to others about opportunites and how things are going to work out and im just taking it easy. well at least trying to. its not that i dont value my future, i guess this reeks of scholarships applications again and i absolutely hated that feeling. ;) the kind of feeling that everyone is out to bite each other's tails and chew each other's heads out. grr!

on another note, school is really getting along fine. wednesday has kind of turned into a cook out day for me jerald and jon, and jon is really quite a good cook. ;) we had really nice dessert yesterday - vanilla ice cream with honey and raspberries, absolutely delicious! and hello while im at that let me share with the whole world the simple recipe for a good old seafood risotto.(courtesy of jon although haha he doesnt get any royalties)(so cool im like having my own food blog)

you'll need:
risotto
chick stock cube
garlic
seafood (sainsburys 2 for 4pounds

1. well boil the chicken stock. as in. have it in boiling water. (how do you phrase this???)
2. fry garlic and risotto in pot
3. add chicken stock broth as and when in small potions and continue stirring the risotto so that it doesnt stick to the pan/ie burn. add until it gets to the right stickiness desired.
4. add seafood!
5. SERVE.

haha yay!

theres something in your eyes, makes me want to lose myself

feels like home by chantel kreviazuk
my second food- baked pasta! the weather today has been horrible; its been raining really heavily the whole day. so when i got home after my lectures i just felt like i wanna make something today. and since ive been looking at recipes online for baked pasta i decided to try my hand at it although ive already had my leftover fried rice for lunch. and look what turned out :) a delicious pan of baked cheesy pasta enough i reckon to feed 6 people;) but hey we're all hungry people here in london (except for may who eats one spoonful of porridge for lunch) so this should last us for er, two meals? ;)

went for allen & overy presentation after that and well im feeling the motivation to study and do well in my life. i think its really smart that they got our seniors to talk to us because as naeem said, we'll look at them and think 'hey that can be me' and yes i do think that way now so i studied abit when i got home. i dont think im going to turn into those overzealous people but i guess i shouldnt be laidback as well. i do wanna end up somewhere in my life. ;)

then of course i caught the second episode of greys on the all wonderful alluc.org. this episode was about addictions in life and moving on from there. it all sounds very familiar to me and really becoming the central theme in my life right now. not one day goes by where i dont think about what im going to do with my life;) that scene where christina went back to her apartment and all the wedding gifts had been cleared; i think i know how she feels. its that sense of longing and the sense of wanting to move on. it clashes, but somehow you feel both at the same time. its, all just very strange. ;)
and yes izzie still irritates the hell out of me. poor callie HELLO shes the suffering wife. bad george!

i can bake!

hahaa okay im gonna write two posts because i think they both deserve an entry on its own.
firstly, not only did i cook dinner for may, i baked for serene's birthday party! happy 21st dear;)

alright so cheryl did most of the stuff but hey i was her main helper okay.plus the ians for errands and washing up :) everyone liked what we did so im really happy















introducing tiramisu and chocolate tart,the latter which i also did for jessica's housewarming :D im so proud of myself
