Awaits for Results

      My special term results was out... I managed only 2 Bs (B & B+). which is not what i aimed for... but i do expect this grade after failing to do my best in the papers. I aiming for As to pull up my CAP. Nevertheless, it wasn't too bad since overall CAP did move up by a little. Among my study group, i wasn't the best performer. This year, Lao Mao was the best again. Guess i will try harder this new semester.

      Recently had been feeling tired. But today, despite my tiredness, i made my first attempt on Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake. Its non-bake. A modification from my original Lemon Cheesecake (New York Cheesecake) recipe. Now it is sitting inside the fridge. i am waiting patiently for the results of the cheesecake. The mixture taste sweet without much cheese taste. But seems a little watery. So will hope that it turns out well... =D No matter what, it is still going to be the third flavour i ever made for cheesecake.

      Here are some of the photos before it enter the fridge:

Blueberry Beats Marble & Tiramisu

      It had been weeks since i last posted. There are many thoughts running through my mind over the past few days. There are times when i was down... there are times when i was de-motivated... there are times when i felt that its time to let go... but of course, there are slightly happier times where i was encouraged somehow... now, i am still feeling in the middle of both sides... the happy and the sad...

      I wasn't feeling OK for quite sometimes. Only a few would know the reason behind it. I guess, majority did not even know or bother to ask. Collegues definitely should be able to see my difference. If not, they just don't care about me. It doesn't help when i was agitated easily by people around me. Maybe all of us been through tough times, no one will be giving in to me, especially since no one knows about my feelings. Anyhow, i decided not to blog what makes me feel this way... but something on a happier note.

      Had been having a good rest from studies since my exam over two weeks ago. I had some gatherings with friends, bought a mp3 over the weekend etc. Recently, i had been cracking my brains to get a farewell gift for a 3 friends of mine. Should i buy or should i make... until now, i had no idea if it will turn out well. Left one day before my 1st collegue going to leave the company. Well, i'll see how it goes. I still have 1 more day before the 2nd one leave... as for the 3rd, undecided if i should really do something for him.

      Thanks Team H. This team praise my cheesecake and encourage me alot. of course, i had other friends who praise my cheesecake. But team H really go the extra mile by encouraging me to open a store focusing ONLY on cheesecake first. Make it big. Sadly speaking, i have mix reviews about my cheesecakes with some other friends. Guess, different people have different likings? So far, i am only capable of making OREO Cheesecake & Lemon cheesecake.

     By Saturday, i will be able to make another new flavour. This time round, its by request from one of the Team H member who is going to leave the company. Blueberry Cheesecake. Initially, my plans is to learn Marble or Tiramisu. Marble is suppose to be easier while i face a big problem in finding Rum for Tiramisu. Hence, since my little brother requested the Blueberry. I will try to make my first and very own, Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake. Hopefully it works... =D

Week Round Up

      My last paper of the special term fell on Monday (13/07). That was a sad and bad day for me... Speak about Monday blues... its all true. Woke up early in the morning, around 4am, to see my bro off to US. Then when i were off to woodlands to get free ride, i noticed that i left my stationary at home. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM~!

      Thankfully, my friend had extra pen. I went into the exam with only 1 pen. Look confident isn't it? When i looked at the questions, i was dumbfounded. I was shocked at the weightage of the paper (though still contribute 50% to the overall grade). The questtions based on 100marks instead of 50marks, as from the past year's. The way the questions were asked were also different from the past year paper. That's not all...

      Right before the start of the exam, i thought it was a good idea to look through past year paper to get a grasp on how the lecturer will ask. Unfortunately, it is another wrong step. While reading and answer one of the question of my paper, the article of the past year paper keep flashing through my mind. I'm confused with the facts of the two papers. I answered based on the facts of the past year paperr. Just for your information, this paper is some sort of an essay-question-type of paper. Hence, i mixed up with the facts.

      And guess what, the second question were asked about a topic that i did not cover... YES~! THE ONLY TOPIC I DID NOT REVISE! No one to blame, i blame my own luck. But since this is an argumental, general questions. I am still able to answer but no longer confidence if i get what the lecturer wanted. Just pray for the best...

     Other than that, i had a tired week over exercising. Yet my exercises are not tough... so i guess, i am weak. Having a small headache now... time to rest.. ciaoz

我喜欢。。。

我喜欢看你微笑的时候,
能让我忘记所有烦恼...

我喜欢看你哭泣的时候,
能让我见到最真实的你...

我喜欢看你傻笑的时候,
能让我情不自禁的笑...

我喜欢看你沮丧的时候,
能让我不由自主的关心你...

我喜欢看你躺在我怀里,
能给我力量去保护你...

我喜欢看你我吵架的时候,
能让我见到你对我的关心...

我喜欢看你我冷战的时候,
能让我了解你的可贵...

但没有你以后,
我喜欢的一切...

都已不再重要了...

Electrico Vs 陈伟联

On Friday evening, i found out that NDP 2009 song was out. I listened to both the chinese (就在这里) and the english (What Do You See?) version of the song. I feel that Electrico's version was more edgy compare to 伟联's. The vocal are strong and powerful... It reach out to the listener more...

Kelvin's, on the other hand, was soothing but lack of identity... it will sounds like past year's song but yet lack of the 'proud to be Singaporean' feel. Did not read the lyrics for both the songs. But at least once you listen, you understand what i mean... Its downloadable from NDP official website.

I had a great day out today, walking down and up of Orchard with my heavy bag (containing A LAPTOP). Its tiring but i think it will burn away the 'sins' i ate for dinner and supper. Healthier dinner from Subway, but 'supper' was Cappucino Cheesecake from Starbucks with dark Chocolate.. Ended the night with Himalayan (Frappe) Tea from McCafe.. At the very least, the cheesecake was delicious... thick and smooth texture... not too sweet, not too sour... you need to savour the taste slowly... but one is enough. You can't eat more... or you will definitely be sick of it... My bros (hao & wen) support my idea of opening my own cafe... I am happy with that... A target was even set for me... to open by the age of 35... I will aim at that... First, was to gather recipes and improve my skills...

I also visited Orchard Central with Jin... It was a messy arranged buildings without an anchor tenant. 8 storeys high with a open air balcony which can provide a good view of Orchard Road at night. The design theme was seem to be metallic, mechanical style. I personally feel that too much space was wasted on the design of the building... Shops was made smaller and the corridors are pretty squeezy to accomodate the design of the building. A large area of the building was used to build hotel-like lifts. Many unique restaurants and sports-related stores are opened there. It can get tiring over shopping a place full of female oriented merchandise and restaurants. One advice to all, visit it ONLY when its fully open. As you may not want to go the second time after your first visit. B2 is under renovation and many other empty space are yet to be filled in.

Orchard ION looks beautiful from the outside... but it seems an VERY EXPENSIVE place to shop. Big names filled the front and i do not expect the inside to be too cheap. I will wait for this to open.... Orchard Road are gearing up to fend off Marina IR as the shopping heaven....
