My super happy weekend!
Things I've learnt to bake so far:
1) Brownies
2) Chocolate chip cookies
3) Double chocolate chip cookies (my trademark, sorry!)
4) Tiramisu
5) Cupcakes
And latest to the list? SCONES woohoo! Picked it up today and I dunno if I can say whether the effort passed or failed 'cos my friends and the bf are simply damn layan. But I'd honestly say that it's only mediocre la. There's still room for improvement. Like how it could fluff slightly more and maybe hmmm...have some filling inside? I tried it with the filling and it failed. Stupid jam leaked out and burnt. Stupid stupid no brainer!
Anyway, at least Yenshan, Rainbow, Eddie and Leen enjoyed it. I hope! =)
This weekend has been a total bliss.
I made it a point to enjoy it to the max and not allow myself to touch any uni work at all.
It's sort of like the "last supper" for me before I embark on my next three weeks of full-on studying.
Also sort of a ploy by my mind to make the heart feel guilty and thus, become more productive. Or is it a ploy by my heart to make the mind want to study? Alright, forget it.
And so, the weekend rocked my socks no doubt!
Watched 'Made of Honour' on Friday and I loved it. Trust me, I'm a sucker for lovey-dovey dramas which have the same predictable storyline, very predictable ending and very good-looking cast. Nothing would make me pass up movies like these.
What made me feel really good today was the walk home from church.
I think my feet took at least 20,000 steps? Or more? Or less? I didn't count, but what is 3km equivalent to?
If you're wondering why we walked when we already had our Sunday tram ticket.
Well.
Funnily enough, Metlink did not realise that Planetshakers caters to 1,500 people per service and at least 30% out of that total actually take public transport, myself included.
And so, outside church at 5pm, the first tram arrived.
And that very tram, is the old-school two-generations-ago tram which only has one compartment and can only fit say, fifty people max!
And the tram driver, obviously intimidated by the crowd of at least a hundred people (who were greedily waiting for the doors to open and then rush in on a first-come-first-serve basis to fit inside the already packed tram) decided NOT to open the doors.
Ok, so why in the world did he not open the door? That still plagues me.
Not wanting to stand in the cold 10degrees evening, and partly thinking os spending some quality time together, we decided to walk the walk home! How unbelievable of me to take up a challenge like that. Wait...it was ME who suggested it!
But ah, don't people always say that everything happens for a reason? =)
The bf and I took a slow walk home, discovered many places we never thought existed, even an authentic Korean restaurant hidden-away behind all the tall buildings.
And it seriously did remind me of Korea. The mini garden with the tall gates at the side of the restaurant, the faded illustrations of the menu, the dim lightings of the insides. Awww...I'd definitely have eaten there tonight if we didn't already have a dinner date with Yenshan's sister, Yenjun and Darren. But no regrets there 'cos dinner was awesome! =)
For those who are interested, if I remember correctly, the place is called Han Geuk Guan, somewhere near Latrobe/Spring Streets.
This weekend made us so much closer than we've ever been for a long long time.
It's probably the only time where we spent so much time together, talking like we used to do a long time ago.
Every hour was spent together, every minute in each other's presence.
I'm so glad that we're still together after so long.
So much has happened over the past two years and two months, yet we're still holding on.
Things may have come in the way, but isn't that something which happens to everyone?
I'm so proud of you, of who you are to me, and of who you're slowly becoming, because I know you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with!
Thank you for loving me baby.
Thank you for being the glue that's holding this relationship together.
Thank you for sometimes upsetting me, but later making up for it in every way possible.
Thank you for your annoying, disgusting habits which sometimes amuse me.
Thank you for always appreciating my cooking and baking.
Thank you for making me laugh everyday.
Thank you for comforting me everytime I cry.
Thank you for respecting me.
Thank you for caring.
I LOVE YOU MY SWEETHEART! <3
Ok, I'm not usually this lovey-dovey. Must be all that love-story-plus-drama movies acting up on me. Bleh.
Alright then, that's all from me today! Nerd-mode turns on tomorrow and lasts all the way until 25th June.
30th June - Melbourne to KL. I am soooooo excited!!! =D
