so i went to jeannie's house today with the intention of cooking.. something.  we eventually found a recipe called 'caramel kisses' which are supposed to look like this in the end:



DOESN'T THAT JUST TICKLE YOUR TASTE BUDS? damn why do these photos always look nothing like what i end up making. this is what we ended up with :




yeah, the angle is different and everything, but they were stuck in the pans LOL and i needed to leave so i didn't have time to try get them out.  But we knew that this one would most likely be a fail halfway through when we smelt what horrible concoction we had made up with a whole can of condensed milk, butter, and golden syrup. i think i would have turned fat if i hate all of that, but then again, no matter how much i eat i don't seem to get much fatter. hmmm. anyway so to try make them less ugly we decorated the 'kisses' with icing ;) we got one of jeannie's 7 year old family friend to decorate two of them, guess which LOL. they all look like they've been done by a 5 year old :D

i ended up walking back to lakemba station with jeannie with the zigzag patterned one in my hand, and when i realised that i had only 2 minutes left.. i realised that maybe i should have been walking faster. i reach the station and i recognise the unmistakable sound of the train doors closing. oh damn. i was supposed to get back earlier. i made up some ridiculous excuse to my mum on the phone that my watch's time was slow for some reason, and when i got home my mum says 'i think your watch's battery needs replacing, that's probably why its so slow' LOL.

so we sat in the station and i was trying to eat the caramel kiss but first i needed to take it out of the patty pan... which i had great difficulty doing.  i ended up ripping the paper where nothing touched it but basically everywhere else the paper was still stuck.  so i ripped it in half which easily ripped off the paper from the base and secretly i was thinking 'NOOOO now i have to fnish it all because jeannie is right here and looking at me expectantly' lol.  but yeah anyway i still had great difficulty eating it since the sides of it was still stuck with paper but surprisingly it tasted okay except for the chocolate on top. an old lady was laughing at me struggling to eat it ;(



BUT before the day ended and before the catastrophic caramel kisses, we also attempted to make a chocolate swirl cheesecake. mmmmm. so what we ended up was this:



it probably would look tastier from a different angle but then that would have meant letting you see the sides, which i don't think you would want to see lol. but i can assure you that IT TASTED FANTABULOUS. except for the chocolate base which was made from chocolate biscuits. LOL some hidden part of jeannie's food processor broke and all these plastic bits were scattered in the mixture.  when we were scooping it into the pan we saw them and we started scooping them out, and quote jeannie "i think i've done a thorough search," but when we all bit into it we noticed like a further billion in there. okay but i thought we did a pretty thorough search too.. oh well. the cheese bit tasted awesome :P

meanwhile jeannie also made garlic bread to eat with the pizza her sister's friends and her sister bought.

so after 3ish long hours of baking, we sat down at her table and indulged in garlic bread, pizza, and the best fried chicken i have ever had whilst laughing at her sister and friends struggle through a vareity of wii games. oh yeah we finished a whole pizza (H)

so that 7yr old girl i was telling you about, she wanted jeannie to play bomberman on DS with her, but jeannie was precoccupied and made her play with me instead. so this girl was teaching me how to play, except she didn't tell me all of the rules/aims cause SHE IS A SNEAKY LITTLE PERSON.  she kept doing all these cheeky things it frustrated me, she won 3 times consecutively. i decided that i would no longer be kind to this apparent cute and innocent little girl and i started doing what she did to me ;) and i beat her 2 times lol. call me mean but hey, for those who question why i never play games, THIS IS WHY I AVOID THEM.

TELL ME GUYS, IS IT WORSE EATING A CHEESECAKE WITH A BASE SCATTERED WITH PLASTIC, OR A CARAMEL KISS WHICH IS ALMOST ENTIRELY SURROUNDED BY PAPER? i think the latter.

what a failed cooking attempt, BUT I STILL HAD AN AWESOME TIME JEANNIE ;)

'no, i don't think i want to keep working anymore.' i think that's what my washing machine said to itself, because it suddenly died on us. it wouldn't even turn on.  and it's only 3 years old - talk about built-in-obsolescence.  HA, i don't believe i'm incorporating d&t work in here. lucky for us, our extended warranty saved us.  BUT we were so close to buying a new one cause my sister was not aware of the fact that it was she who held all receipts.  but before she came to realise that, we had to suffer a whole week of hand washing our clothes.  yes, one whole hour dedicated to washing our clothes each and every night, seeing as how there are so many people in my family.  sucks to a big family.  dear mr washing machine, i love you.

when i bought more socks today my mum pointed out that i have a whole drawful of socks. but hey, i bought white socks for school.  i realised that i needed more white socks after fearnside gave our bio class the talk about him volunteering to ensure of everyone wearing the correct uniform.  i remembered my sister telling me that when they introduced the whole 'maximum height of heels for your shoe thing' - teachers actually went round with a ruler, lifting people's pants up to check that it complied with the rules. whaaaaaaaaat the freaaak?

anyway, the point that i was getting to was that ive realised that i seem to have a slight obsession for them.  i think i have a pair of sock in every colour.  my mum reckons that i've got 'feet made of steel' cause i go through them so quickly, and she also reckons that i've got more than i need.  but i don't think you can ever have enough socks, you'll just go through your whole stock slower than if you have say 4 pairs :D

it's a miracle! i blogged again.

So in case you haven't noticed, I haven't been blogging in a while.  In fact, I don't think I've blogged since .. sometime around Christmas. I think it's time to find my blogging mojo again.  Wait, what am I talking about, I never had one.  Okay, well i think I should at least attempt to make an effort to revive my part of this blog. Okay.

About three months ago the house next to mine went on sale and one month later it was sold.  Two months on and my new neighbours haven't moved in yet.  You see, my plan was to blog about my new neighbours two months ago, but as you can see, I couldn't because well, they haven't moved in yet.  I realised today that I appear very stalkerish if I do so.  But I'm sort of excited for when they do move in, I wonder what they would be like.  I don't know what to expect, but what do I want to expect? Hmmm.  Apparently for the past two months they have been renovating but I see no changes.  You might wonder why I've noticed there have been any changes, and that'd be because they haven't been shutting their blinds so I've been able to spy into their house by looking through my window and into theirs. Hmmmm.  Everytime i look through i see newspaper, how exciting. OKay i feel stalkerish again.

I decided to be organised and compiled a to-do list for the holidays, and realised that half of the list is homework.  Oh damn.  I don't think I'm going to get through everything in my list, but it's not like I feel a need to get through everything in it.  I thought that by compiling a to do list I'd feel obligated to tick everything off, but evidently I'm not motivated enough to do everything. 

Okat typing up a blog with perfect punctuation and gramma is annoying, i give up.

i thought that i had heaps of time to do all my homework so today i did practically nothing, unless you count falling asleep when i was attempting to read my book for english ext. essay. then tonight i was told to to go to places in the holidays (which, to be honest, i never thought people were going to get round to actually organising it LOL). okay i think i need to get a wriggle on with my homework if im going to go out, but its not like i'll end up doing anything tonight.

Bye for now, maybe forever.  Okay i'll try to blog again at least once these holidays. i feel like im actually contributing to this blog now, yay.  if you guys don't keep urging me to blog, i dont think i ever will.

Oh yeah i think i forgot to mention that this is yuyan, but im sure you would have realised that this is me, right?  cause i'm the one out of the donut rampage partnership who hasn't blogged since christmas.  that's 7 months :O
