Chris's Art from 3 years Ago

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.
