Today was trying. Tried to bake cupcakes today for tmr's new year's eve celebration but boy is it tough! We actually started from scratch and hell it tastes not bad but the texture is just funny! like it's not very cooked like that.
We were very successful with the icing but damn failure with the actual cupcake. At first our icing turned a very gross colour cuz we put in too much colouring but we learnt how to dab abit in so it become like pastel pink like. Quite pretty=)
First time we tried to mix the ingredients it turned out funny and clumpy with bits of non melted butter inside. that was because obviously, the butter was not melted. Apparently i think it was supposed to be soft butter. After baking it it erupted like a volcano. Erupted like oil. Very gross and deformed and gross. So we tried again (after row left) by microwaving the butter first so it became totally oil like and then we poured it into the mixture. But we're still not sure whether it's supposed to be oil like. Tmr I will try making it just soft enough for us to mush it in.
I really hope it'll be more of a success tmr! =) If not everyone is gna think we're incompetent and i'd just hafta dumbly agree.
Anyway the other day I was at Angela's house and there was like this funfair thing organised by her condo and they had this very appealing ride, it's some inflatable hamster ball thingy except that it isn't for hamsters but humans!! So you were just supposed to get in the ball while the guy inflates it and then you're free to roll and float around the pool! sounds cool eh?=) They allowed up to 2 ppl in one ball so Reg and Claire squeezed into one while Ange and I packed ourselves into one. Wrong move I know but i really wanted to fart in it since Ange was warning me not to. I wanted her to suffer. You could literally suffocate in that thing cuz it's like air tight since they won't want the ball to lao hong and like they can't let the water get in. So we were only allowed like abit more than 5 mins in it prolly or like to the end and back. Here are some photos! Watch our unglamness.
We had to crawl in first through this zipper at the side when the ball was totally deflated. VERY HARD. Like getting yourself caught in clear wrap.I kinda got stuck and i'm starting to think it might have been it very funny view. They inflated it as soon as i managed to get in. This picture was taken when it was in the middle of inflation so it looks abit lao hong.
Inflator man pushing us from the platform into the pool. This was about the only fun part. And where I broke one of my purple bangles=( 
We couldn't steer ourselves properly after that. Apparently you're supposed to stand up and run like a hamster but whenever I stood up, Ange would roll and i would roll vice versa so it was just impossible to get anywhere. We had to pathetically ask some kid to push us to that corner so that Aunty Daisy could take a photo for us. Haha.
Couple of photos of us pathetically steering and moving the thing. Okayy la but looks like we were having some fun. And also running a little low on oxygen.

We look like we're exploring stuff and have seen something exciting! lols
"Wow look! Did you see that? I saw a mermaid!!"
"There it is again! Popping it's mermaidy tail out of the water!"
"Oh it's a nothing because we're in a condo swimming pool.
And that was my favourite photo of all though it's the ugliest. We look very happy in the ball. =)

Today, I'm gonna blog about shit.
Yes, literally.
I drew my inspiration from Angela who happily told us today (while we were eating Carl's junior) that while in Japan, it took her alot of time and energy for her shit to come out because it was cold. She described it as a ferris wheel - similarity being that 1) her shit was coming out at a really slow pace 2) one capsule by one capsule.
It's gross but quite funny. So when i had to shit just now, I observed that it was easy at first and then quite hard to excrete later. If i had to allude it to a theme park ride, it would be the one that does the vertical drop up and down a few times (or "selero shots" in genting). 1) It gets smaller and smaller by the shit (just like the drops) 2) the feeling also subsides with each literal drop.
HAHA THIS IS GROSS BUT VERY FUNNY I WILL CONTINUE.
I think most ppl would belong to the vertical drop ride category. Other rides i can think of would be the tea cup. That would most probably be diarrhoea.
The kind where it takes really long for one big shit to fall out and make a splash could actually be the log ride type.
I think i can totally design a quiz, "what type of theme park ride is your shit?"
shit aside, I would like to apologize to the passerby who "shhh" us when we were picnicking on the roof of vivo for no reason. Yes, to the dude who looked like an uncle with uncle specs and uncle dressing who was acting like an ah beng who dared to shhh a bunch of teenagers (plus a couple of lian looking ones which btw does not include me). I'm sry that i said "knn bu cb" to you when you cursed our fathers or something like that. I'm a little embarrassed that that came out of my mouth. I'm sorry. Instead i should have said "before you get a life, you'd probably wanna consider getting a face."
Clearly my resolution on not judging passerbys is not working out well. I just judged some ah lian guy this afternoon who was wearing a high waisted skirt below her hips. Told Lydia i didn't like the way she walked (like the classic ah beng kind. plus she was wearing a skirt. very ugly of her.) . Instead of stopping, Lydia told me her bf was ugly. haha. confession timmeee......
HAPPY 18TH HOGGI BEAR.

I can't believe that you won't even let me make my own decision as to whether I wanna teach or not.
Lame reasons, nothing to discuss. What I say is final.

US TRIP
First stop, Singapore to Dubai !(since we flew by Emirates airlines thus making about like one big round around the world. I wouldn't normally know that since geog is just not my thing but the security screening guy said so.)
(transited at)Dubai airport - took about 6-7 hours to get there.
Continued on the treacherous journey....
Finally arrived at the car rental place where we, no prizes for guessing, RENTED A CAR!not this one though. But notice how there is like no number plate on it? Americans are like totally permitted to put anything on their number plates including non numbers like words which includes their names and rubbish words. There was this quite funny one that I saw which i cannot rmb now. Dang. I would prolly put like "Da Car" or like "abc123" for fun. I would change it every other mth like msn nicknames although i'm not sure whether that's allowed.hmm...
After finally picking a car, we headed towards our motel which was near Disneyland! (Anaheim). A motel was a new experience for me and I was kinda dreading it at first but it's kinda not so bad. Not as dirty or blah as it seems in the OC and stuff. It's just a little smaller than hotels which doesn't bother me cuz you just sleep and bathe there and there are still housekeepers. The toilet was surprisingly clean. Oh btw, dad is wearing that pair of pjs to the party. Haha it is crazy big for me anw.
Went to some mall on that same day I think and Claire had boring Burger King. But what was cool was the shape of their chicken tenders! Princess crownnnns!
Don't exactly have photos of us shopping but I've gotta say that they have ALOT of factory outlets there which means you get to buy branded goods at really affordable prices which makes me very very happy. Most common ones are like Guess, Nine West, ALDO, GAP, Polo Ralph Lauren,Nike, Tommy.Hil, sometimes even Coach, Juicy...(cannot rmb so many alr) I swear if i lived there, I would be heading down to these outlet malls ever so often! I mean why would I even wanna shop anywhere else in the world? With that said, I sadly say that I didn't buy as many clothes as a expected to, only a few pieces but i bought 4 pairs of shoes that I am very happy with! Except one which really gives me the blisters. But it is pretty.
Blogging about holidays are very draining because I am feeling tired and i'm not even at day 2 in US yet. haha guess i'll just hafta leave that first. Wished i could have spent more time there cuz I'd dare say that shopping time was abit compromised because we had to visit the 101 themeparks which i didn't regret visiting actually. Okayy bye.. I think cousins are all not up yet.
7:45 PM
toooday we are decorating the house with chrismasy rainbowsy decorations!! But first, THE REST OF YOU KINDA HAVE TO WAKE UP AND GET HERE.
Went to collect Row's N level results with her ytd and Row i think you did okay so stop saying that it's a very high score at least you got promoted. Watched Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D (I told you so Marc Toh.) which was pretty good except that they don't have like moving seats and water spraying at you like those 3D attractions at theme parks and stuff but it was good enough. The storyline was okay and a bit cheesy cuz they ran into so much shit but still never died but hey, that's how all movies are like right?
I wanna watch Bride Wars please I can't wait.
The best part of the movie? Rowena Yeo.
There was this scene where they were on a makeshift raft, caught in a violent storm and were surrounded by like 101 ugly looking fishes that looked like giant mutated Piranhas so everything was like yelling cuz they were jumping out at us -
Row: Omg. It's like Pinatas! Eh is it Pinatas? (tries repronuoncing the word a few times)
Char: Piranhas.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. I can soooo imagine jumping Pinatas although when whacked with the club that was used to whack the Piranhas, it would be raining sweets and chocolates, not water. They should totally make a spoof out of this part of the movie.
After the movie, went over to TPJC for their Band Festival thingy to lend our support to Clarence and I must say that there was a serious lack of concert etiquette there which I was abit pissed about but since it was only the avt, I guess it's okay. Would have been super irritated if it was in like some concert hall and if I'd paid more than 10 bucks for it.
Come to think of it, there's still another band concert i'm going for soon - the St Patrick's Alumni one. Man. I cannot really appreciate band music.
Went to have prata at 201 after that which was very satisfying! Mr Teh Tarik's , Teh Tarik is quite good! Somebody send me the picture that we took in the avt please..I think it's in Mar's camera.
Gonna upload a few photos from my US trip in the next post which is happening...NOW!

Blogging at Ange's request but I don't actually have anything to blog about.
Okay let's start with where I am now : Mar's house where some ppl are mj-ing and some just doing nothing. Her bed is lousy. I was sitting on it (quite at one edge) and when Reg stood up from the other edge, it totally did a "titanic" and started sinking on my side. I'd sincerely thought I might die.
My US trip was really quite enjoyable except for the plane journey (macham travelling to hell and back. The 18th level. ) and I would say that Dubai is also not fun. Thank goodness we only stopped over for about one half days. Mm i might start uploading a few pictures soon!
Matt is finally coming home tmr. pls hurry hurry hurry life is really quite boring without you i am not even kidding.
Watched twilight the other day and I decided that the only reason(s) I didn't fall for Edward Cullen is cuz he is not the Edward that I imagined. I mean how HARD is it to find the Edward that i pictured to play Edward. You already got the houses right and Edward's room also. Oh and I heard in real life Robert P(who plays Edward) is like a liar and stuffs so yeah don't like him. In fact, i really really love the guy who plays Jasper even though he has no talking lines but his STARE is soooooo !
I have to get a job i cannot stand one wk of being here doing nothing even though i've been out every single day. I guess i could give teaching a try (tgt for priya)
Okayy i really have nothing to say alr byeeeeee. Shall do some Christmas cards tmr so that i can do it in batches.
OH BTW CHRISTMAS PARTY ON 25TH DEC DRESSCODE : RAINBOW (which means invitees are only allowed to wear clothes from any 7 colours of the rainbow. ONLY. no black/white/grey whatever whatever. Please pass the msg to your parents I will prolly be giving out the invites soon!
