Wah the sweet smells wafting through the kitchen is so darned tantalizing! My Mum's the World's Most Mostest AWESOME cook EVER. Period. Haha I wanna be a great cook to...at least someday. Whenever I watch Rocco's Dolce Vita or Jamie Oliver's or Nigella Lawson( she makes yummylicious-looking desserts!!!), I'll go "Hey, that looks pretty easy" and I'll get these crazy ideas and try to whip up something. Though most of my "masterpieces" often fail, well, not that it tastes like YUCK, but it just comes out weird? Haha but I've made this lil thing that I sorta improvised after watching Jamie Oliver's, haha I got one of those wholemeal baguette looking bread sitting in my kitchen, took it sliced it and spread tomato pasta sauce on top (I like it ultra thick...cus' umm I'm greedy), then used my fingers to pinch away at some cheese (I forgot the name of the cheese) but mozarella/edam/parmesan/cheddar cheese is fine(depending on your budget), sprinkle some chopped basil leaves on top, add some canned pineapple cubes and some cubed ham, and voila! You've got yourself a baguette pizza! Haha and it tastes so freaking good!

I'm not a good cook, hmmm all I do is play around with food I guess. Asked my mum if she could try cooking crabs with Tom Yam paste someday, cuz' I really love tom yam and it'd prolly taste superb. But we'll have to add something to play down its spiciness I guss, with what? Coconut? Skimmed cream? Chicken stock? Hmmm. Haha who knows?

Just finished The Great Gatsby! I love reading, well when it rains. Gets you into the mood real easy, so you don't have to re-read sentences again and again to get the gist of it, the rain sorta clears this fog outta your mind, which is refreshing.

Well, I can't believe lamenting to my friends that it was a BORING book at first, when I hadn't even touched the damn book. Man, people can be so judgemental sometimes. Lesson learnt: NEVER judge a book by its cover. The cover really, really sucks though, this may be the downfall of all Penguin classics I guess, though the ultra cheap price prolly redeems itself. But boy when I finished The Great Gatsby, was I blown away! His words simply 'leaps off the page', this man Scott Fitzgerald has a way with words, when you read it almost feels like you're watching a movie in the very cinema of your brain. AMAZing! What a tragedy though. The title is ironic, which makes it so memorable. I like!

Haha watched Glitter on Ch 5 just now, Mariah Carey's voice is OUT OF THIS WORLD man. Shall go download her songs later. Hmmm there's a chinese song I wanna download but I forgot whose? Oh shucks.

Played maple till guess what time? Haha Ah Shing prolly knows! 6AM!!! YEah! 6AM! OMF(freaking)G! You know the maple window blocks out the entire screen so you have no acces of time whatsoever, and I was leveling up, then I tell myself okay maybe I'll go to bed after this quest, then it'll be followed by another quest, then I'll wanna level up a lil more, and it goes on for like...forever? Haha and when I finally succumb to the Zzz monster, 6AM!!! Ahhh time flies when you're having fun. Indeed! Haha I hope my dark eye rings won't show! Yikes! Well, even if they do, I'll slap two pieces of cucumber on them. That'll teach them a lesson or two. Hah!

Well, tata peeps~ Man those familiar sounds of mahjong from my neighbor's flat...ahhh~ mahjong =D
