PIMPLE COOKIES!

Everybody seems to be getting pimples lately. Is it the heat? Is it the late nights? Is it stress? Who knows!

But anyway, I was complaining to a friend of mine about them, and the things that so-called friend were saying made me think of Pimple Cookies!

What are pimple cookies, you ask? Well they are cookies made with strawberries in them so it looks like the cookies have pimples! Brilliant idea or what?!

So I went on Google and found a recipe for Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies (aka Pimple Cookies) and decided to try them out! They looked hideous but I thought maybe they would turn out nice...

(By the way, Chris was absolutely disgusted by the idea and Megan liked it. Typical...)

I finally bought my strawberries on Saturday and made the cookies on Sunday. I didn't like them.

First of all, they didn't look pimpley enough to me. Yeah, it was reddish but I didn't have enough strawberries so...

Secondly, they tasted HORRIBLE! The recipe did not tell me they were soft cookies but they came out soft, even after adding a few more minutes to the cooking time. And you could barely taste the strawberries in them! The only thing that gave it some taste was the chocolate chips. Though my brother and mum seemed to like it...

Ok, maybe they're not that bad.... I just don't like them. Never ever making them again! They tasted like kuih bulu with chocolate chips. Just imagine that!

Here're some pictures I took of them. Tell me if you think they actually look pimpley.

I also made Afghan biscuits today. And chocolate chip cookies... But I didn't take any pictures of those yet. Here're what my Afghan biscuits look like. Mmmmmm... Yummy....

This post was dedicated to my art. Get it? HAHAHHAA!

My Mummy's Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother and I woke up at 7am to make my mum breakfast in bed. I know, we're like the best kids on earth.....

My brother was smart enough to plan what to make. However, he forgot that sausages need time to defrost after taking them out of the freezer and that's where I come in!!!! I also made the toast and even put the butter on them... Awesome or what? Sometimes i amaze myself...

Oh yeah and my mum said we didn't put any flowers on the tray but who thinks of stuff like that?!

Anyway, I also made her a super cute card which was 100% my idea n made by moi! My art has obviously improved a lot. *smirks*

My bro's card looked like something made by a 5 year-old. And he's supposed to be the artistic one! *snorts*

Then at night, we went to Hard Rock Cafe where my dad bought my mum her birthday present - dinner.

My mum looking happy 'cause she knows she has an amazing daughter.

We ordered NACHOS!!!!!!!!!!!! So good........ They were SO BIG too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My bro looking like all his Christmases have come in one go, 'cause he's got cake in front of him.

The band came on at 10.30pm and I really liked them! The lead guitarist was REALLY GOOD and he could even play the intro for Sweet Child O' Mine with his guitar behind his head! Cool or what?! The girl singer was my dad's favourite. I liked her too. She sang nice!

They were called The Hybrid Band and 2 of the band members were Thai while the rest were Filipino. The bassist is, by far, the cutest member! He looks like a fisherman! Just look at him!

Cute right??????? He and the drummer are Thai. The drummer was cute too. You should see him when he's playing. Hahahaha......

'The picture below is of the lead guitarist who is just oh-so-cool. Thought I hate his hair. It was long and straightened! But I guess rock stars need long hair...

Here are more pictures of them. The whole band. Try and catch them at Hard Rock Cafe soon, 'cause I think they're leaving next week........ I'm not sure.....

The Vampire Academy

I just read this new book from the library. It's called Shadow Kiss and it's the 3rd book in the Vampire Academy series. The library didn't have the first and second book...

I started reading it and I was absolutely hooked. I finished it in about 7 hours and was left wanting more! I was even in tears towards the ending!!! That's how good it was!

The heroin of the story is Rose and the hero, Dimitri Belikov. Let me just say this is why I prefer books to movies - you can use your imagination to create any guy that you think'll match the character, and you can change characteristics you don't like.

Dimitri is supposed to have long hair in the book but I don't like guys with long hair so I imagine him with short hair. HOT! Think Steven Strait with long/short hair. He looks good in either.

Anyway, Dimitri is Rose's mentor and soon-to-be partner. Both of them are in charge of guarding Lissa after she graduates. They know that they aren't supposed to love each other and try to fight it but their efforts are futile.

Here's a quote from one of the books, I got it from this blog: http://yavampirebooks.blogspot.com/

"No. If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you."

Forbidden love is always the sweetest. They make you wanna go, "Just kiss her already!!!"

Actually this book reminds me a little of Twilight. I've noticed that a lot of vampire books have love triangles in them. Probably makes things more interesting... Though it gets boring after awhile...

Here's what the book's about:

They come first.

That is what Dhampir, Rosemarie Hathaway was taught since young. Dhampirs (half vampire, half human) are bred as guardians to Moroi (mortal vampires who can use magic). Dhampirs protect Moroi from Strigoi (dead vampires who are made, not born, they're evil).

She is in her last year at St Vladimir's Academy and she already knows her assignment for when she graduates. She was chosen to guard her best friend and Moroi royal, Lissa Dragomir, who is the last of her line.

Lissa has a rare affinity for spirit instead of the usual 4 elements: fire, water, air and earth. Her power of spirit allows her to heal people but she went one step further with Rose and brought her back from the dead.

Ever since, Rose has had a bond with Lissa that allows her to feel everything that Lissa is going through, even though Lissa can't feel anything from Rose. This phenomenon is said to be called 'Shadow Kiss' and Rose is able to act as Lissa's shadow.

All her life, Rose has been dedicated to protecting Lissa and doing what's best for her. She never thought she'd have to choose between the man she loves, Dimitri Belikov and Lissa. To her, the choice was always clear. They come first. No matter what, Lissa always came first. That was the way it'd always been.

But what does she do when tragedy strikes and Dimitri needs her?

Seriously, everyone. This book is really really really worth reading. Chris, ok, read the first book first. Probably better that way.

ps. Check out that blog link for more vampire books. She's awesome. She really seems to know all the vampire books and she updates her blog regularly unlike someone...

Book 1: Vampire Academy

Book 2: Frostbite

Book 3: Shadow Kiss

Book 4: Blood Promise

Book 5: Spirit Bound

I can't wait to read Blood Promise and Spirit Bound! Chris, Sick, Megan, my birthday present?? Please?

Oh ya and I was wondering what Dimitri's Russian accent sounded like. I found this video. When she's repeating her sentence and says she's from Moscow, she's speaking with a Russian accent.

I don't like it. My only consolation is the book said his accent only has a little bit of Russian in it.

MJCMT Collage

I was playing around with Picasa and this is what I came up with. Hope you guys like it!!! (Click on it to make it bigger)

Ty, its sorta like a welcome home present to you. A bunch of pictures from when you came back in January.

Tell me what you think!

ps: Chris you were right! Picasa is awesome!!!

Hotness Intensified

I have no idea whether my title is grammatically correct but that is how I feel about the wolf pack in New Moon.

New Moon would be completely not worth watching if it weren't for the wolf pack. Alex Meraz who plays Paul (the wolf who got pissed and Jake had to beat him up), is the hottest werewolf there!

There was this scene in Emily's house where they were all waiting for Paul and Jake to come back and when Paul came in, he sat down and looked over his shoulder at Bella, grinned a bad boy grin and said, 'Sorry.'

WHOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! My heart just went "THUMP!" SOOOOO HOTTTTT!!!!

That concludes what I like about the movie. Here are some pictures to ogle.

Alex Meraz *swoons*

My Script for The Script

Today I was relaxing while watching my mum bake a cake. I listened to my iPod. I heard a lot of my nice songs. Then The Script came on. I am a new fan of The Script. I love their songs.

I thought of making up a story using their lyrics and I came up with this: (before reading, please know that "I" is a little boy)

I love listening to the script so much that I incorporate their lyrics into my daily life. However, I always seem to get in trouble when I start saying them.

First my dad told me to take out the trash after dinner. But my favourite show was on so I said, "I'm not moooovinggggg....... Yeah......"

I kena whack.

Then, the next day in school, I finally got the guts to tell the girl I like, "I'm yours...."

The thing I didn't know was that she had just asked for someone to do her homework for her.

After school, I went to church and the pastor asked me if I had finished reading the Bible. I decided to reply with, "Now I'm looking throught the Bible, trying to find a loophole."

The pastor thought I was trying to find a way to sin and gave me a long lecture.

When I was walking out of the church later on, I saw another little boy crying at the side of the road and went up to him to say, "Together we cry."

He punched me and continued to beat me up until I cried out, "I'm falling to pieeeeeeeecessssss!!!!"

When I got home, my mum told me we were going to her friend's party and I objected with, "I'don't care, 'cause I won't know, anybody there."

She whacked me too.

In the end, I sat alone in my room going, "It's the end where I begin...."

After my mum saw it, she asked me why "I" keeps getting hit. I said it just fit the lyrics...

Megan liked it. If you like it, leave a comment. Here's a picture of The Script to keep your eyes busy while you think about it.

The members are:

• Danny O'Donoghue - lead vocals, keyboards
• Mark Sheehan - lead guitar, backing vocals
• Glen Power - drums, backing vocals (rhythm guitar on recordings)

The Story That Led Me Here

I know I'm 1 week late but better late than never right? So today I'm gonna blog about my graduation day and everything related. Sit yourself down for a long post.

Ok so when I was 1 of the 8 (that sounds so cool, like the Power Of Five) chosen as the 2009 graduation dinner committee, I felt kind of sad that none of my best friends were chosen (ie: Chris) but now, looking back, I realise that might be a good thing.

If I had a close friend with me on the committee, I wouldn't have bothered with anyone else and wouldn't have communicated much with the rest of the committee. I can see this is what happened in YE last year. Megan and Chris were in YE with me and what happened? We stuck to ourselves and didn't mix much with the other people 'cause we knew we already had our own little posse. We didn't need anyone else as long as we had each other. This might be bad sometimes 'cause you become antisocial and don't really connect with your other colleagues (did I spell it right?).

So anyway, I was stuck with 7 other people I didn't really know very well for a year. The worst thing was that Chaw Yeh was our chairlady and I didn't really like Chaw Yeh last year. (Don't worry Chaw Yeh I like you now!!) I don't really remember why but I think it was partly 'cause she was the mean-looking AMD and I didn't know her. Also because she said something to Megan and Chris about 'not contributing' or something.

So I was thinking to myself "What? Chaw Yeh's chairlady? How am I gonna work with her for an entire YEAR?! With no friends near me!" I wasn't happy. Then besides Chaw Yeh there were Kasvini (I liked her), Hsieh Zhen (never really mixed with her that much... But she seemed nice) Shi Han (I knew her and liked her so I was ok with her), Ee Lynn (didn't know her), Siew Chii (sort of knew her) and Karen (who the heck is that?).

At the start of the year, I stuck to Kasvini and Shi Han 'cause I didn't know the others well. I got to know Yee Lynn and Siew Chii 'cause we were the ones who ran around telling classes to hurry up. I still didn't talk to Chaw Yeh, Hsieh Zhen and Karen but I was starting to see they weren't so bad.

The as the year wore on, I was forced to mix with every single person on the committee 'cause we had to practice our dance, think of a theme, plan this, plan that....... I realised it was actually kinda fun being on the committee. I really didn't know Chaw Yeh could be so sampat and that Hsieh Zhen's quiet and serious exterior was hiding a psycho girl who laughs at everything. (Still didn't mix much with Karen so I'm not gonna talk about her. I'm still not close to her anyway.)

So hor, by the time we were skipping class everyday to hang out and do stuff (can do stuff and have fun at the same time so don't accuse us of slacking), I was looking forward to seeing our mismatched and dysfunctional committee.

It wasn't all fun and roses though, we had our ups and downs. There were times when I'd feel like punching someone and there were times when I didn't wanna leave their good company. All of us had strong personalities and of course there was the clashing of horns but that's normal in any committee.

I realised how we all changed in a year. Well I don't know about them but I changed (I think). I grew up while hanging around kids and found out that stress can do funny things to people. I learned that you can't get along with everyone, you can't please everyone and how even little things can change a person's view of you. (Damn I sound wise!)

Chaw Yeh, I like you now. Like your whole family la. *winks* It was nice to realise you're not mean and that you can act so stupid when you're around stupid people. You're good at taking charge and making sure people get things done. You're not afraid of telling people off and that's a good thing. I like the way you say 谁. 这是谁的? SHEIIII!!!!!

Kasvini, please learn to be more punctual. (I don't think you read my blog. Hehe!) Take it easy. Don't stress so much over little things.

Hsieh Zhen, who knew you could act so 幼稚. You very funny la. Big, big house with only round things. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! You give your opinion on everything and usually you're right (only on the artsy stuff). You act weird sometimes.

Shi Han, I like the way you're so direct and don't beat about the bush. You have good taste in music and you're good at computer stuff. I already knew I liked you.

Yee Lynn, you've got a lot of contacts and it seems like you know everyone. You don't like complimenting Shi Han and you also act like a kid a lot. (Hey most of us do so you fit right in) You know your drama stuff and that helps.

Siew Chii, (I just realised I have never seen Siew Chii online before. Does she even have a computer?) I like the way you do your eyes at people. A bit like juling but funnier. You're a bit blur sometimes. Haha!

Karen, no comment. I don't know you well enough.

I would like to thank all of you guys for dealing with each other and not causing each other serious harm.

Most of all, I wanna thank those people who came to the auditorium last year to choose your committee. You guys chose well. We rock! If you say you loved this year's grad night, it's thanks to you guys too. Without you, we'd be nothing. Seriously.

Chris and Megan, your ears have been very patient. You've endured me a lot. All the time. Not just about the grad night. You see I told you I could keep secrets!

Special thanks to the technician's daughter and the engineer's daughter plus Hsieh Zhen. Without you guys, I'd be a sobbing mess. You saved us all. And Chaw Yeh, I know you're happy I gave you work to do. I did you a favour by tripping over that wire. And don't you dare ever forget about the lam mee thing! Hsieh Zhen, you're the best plastic surgeon I know. You did wonders with our broken backdrop. I loved being the 'backdrop mia people'.

Who else to thank? Err.... My mum? For err.... being my unloading bin. All the secrets I kept from Megan and Chris went to her. Thanks for telling me what you think about everything! It helped.

Pn Chan probably never gonna see this but I wanna thank her too. She gave valuable advice and allowed us to skip class.

Chaw Yeh help me thank your dad for fixing the thing at the last minute! I was panicking at the side until he came along.

Zhao Min! Thanks for your lip gloss!

I wanna thank myself too, for doing such awesome make up last Saturday night. I'll give myself a pat on the back.

I think that's it. I hope next year's committee knows they're got their work cut out for them. *smirks* Haiyah they all drama people sure can la!
