My 1st home made dessert- Choc Rum Truffles

Yes, yours truly actually made something nice.

I got to bring some 'ang moh' aka western food to my ballet teacher's house for a gathering and I didn't know what to make since I have no oven can't bake, no microwave and my stove has no gas can't cook!

So I was contemplating either to make cheesecake or this recipe that I saw a few weeks back at youtube. Then I realised that I do not have a cake mixer bye cheesecake.

It's a sign. I'm meant to make this easy peasy Choc Rum Truffles.

Got my materials


Crumble the fruitcake

Melt the choc (stove no gas so used rice cooker)

Add rum, choc and sweetener then mixed thoroughly

End product

I present to you- Choc Rum Truffles

Sadly I put too little rum so I melted my Aero mint Choc and gave them a coating =P

The 'guinea pigs' said it was nice....LOL

So my 1st try on western dessert- A success!!!! Proud of myself =)

Day 6- it's 4.15am now and I'm still typing away here...
Jetlag, GO AWAY!!!

Coming home at wee hours

I've been back for the past 4 days.

1st night- Jet-lag so slept at 7am

2nd night- Went out yum cha with friends till 2.30 am but didn't sleep because I got to get my sister's report card. In the end slept at 11am.

3rd night- Finally got to bed at 2ish am =)

4th night- Went out yum cha with friends till 3ish am and it's almost 4am and I'm still here blogging....die

I hope this time at home here, I'll be able to at least try going to mamak once and sing K once. I'm not asking much right? hehe

Exam result out!!!!

Before that, let me announce another huge important issue....I SLEPT AT 2ISH AM AND WOKE UP AT 9ISH AM....bye bye jetlag!!! Ironically, I'm listening to Simple Plan's song- Jetlag LOL

Right, I was up at 9ish am and I was looking at my Abd email and realised that result is out on Thursday the 5th of July so I logged into my student portal to check if the result is out but sadly it was not...

Watched Would I Lie To You (series 5) at youtube (episode 1 is so hilarious!!! Especially when seeing David Mitchell laughing so hard =P) and I eventually fell asleep again.

Woke up at 2ish pm then saw my facebook homepage, all my Abd friends posting about them passing and I was.....OK, time to face the music....

While logging in and waiting for the page to load, I was calculating the chances of me passing.
I was watching Youtube about 7-8 hours a day, reading manga at least 3 hours a day, doing nonsense stuff like cleaning the house and NOT studying most of the time....high chance of passing?? Hmm....not so high...at all.....

Website loaded.............stared at it.........errr......so I pass or fail???!!!!

I have no idea what I was looking at...there was no obvious words like pass or fail....just numbers for CAS Marks and stuff...

Went to Fb and asked my friend and then went back to the website and look.....ok....

Log off....log in again (just to double check ok?)

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surprisingly the score I got was quite high compared to the amount of work I put in!! wow~~

Now I know, don't need to study hard also can pass =P

Now, how should I celebrate?? Meeting with JY later yeah!! At least someone who is on the same boat as me, so we can actually understand how both of us feel =)

***** being mean to my mom*****
Since I have no phone, I have been calling my mom via skype so I skype messaged her
me: ma, I failed =(
ma: serious?
me: ya =(
ma: so how?
me: Plan holidays lo!!!!! Hahahaha...I PASSED!!!!
ma: Shit! how come know so early? Lucky no heart attack!!!

Me love my mom hahahahah
I did the same thing for my UPSR, PMR and SPM. She should have expected I'll pull the same prank =P
Last time for my UPSR, after prank-ing her and confessed that I got straight As, she asked me back "sure or not, don't lie"
Yup, that's my mom, always thinking that her this daughter is a stupid dumbo LOL

Anyway, I passed!!!
Woah, one step closer to saving lives working life {^.^}

Day 3 at home

Yup, it's day 3 since I left the fridge and went to an oven. Had a long but interesting flight home thanks to that guy from New Zealand who talked to me about anything under the moon LOL

Right, what have I done so far?

JETLAG!!!!!!

I can't sleep at night, feels sleepy by 7am M'sia time and wakes up at 4-5pm. I am like taking over my lazy brother's role!!!! But at least I clean the house when I can't sleep =P

Last night, after coming home from meeting a few of my friends at 2.30am, I laid on my bed in darkness trying to sleep but I was so wide awake!! In the end, I started deleting photos from my phone and by 4ish am, I gave up and went to the living room joining my brother who was awake watching movie through his iPad.

I was bored, still bored after disturbing Spritz so I took out my fiction book and started reading. The more I read, the more awake I felt! By 6ish am, my sis woke up and was getting ready to school. By 7ish am, both my parents were up so I talked to them etc.

By 8ish am, I finally felt sleepy BUT I can't sleep because I need to go get my sister's report card at school!!! Stayed up till 11am only could I finally lie on my bed and sleep. I was in such a horrible mood and even had palpitations while listening to her class teacher talked. My sis failed a few subjects and it's her SPM year!!! Gosh, if I were in a better shape, I would have made things difficult for the teacher by asking lots of 'why did she fail' etc

Anyway, I woke up at 5pm and here I am using the comp at 6.35pm.

There was this paragraph in the book that reflected my thoughts on society and single women. I was telling my friend about it the other day and this paragraph was so similar to what I was saying. It goes:


"you and I both know that this so called independent women thing- in this country anyway- is a complete cod. It's all a big cover up. Yes, we can earn our own money, buy our own houses and change our own spare wheels, but no matter what way you look at it, deep down we're all still judged by whether or not we have a man at our side."

-Wishful Thinking by Melissa Hill-

Agree??

Well, I don't care if society judges me or not, I still don't plan to get married.

2nd day at London- Phantom of the Opera!!!

Yes, my 2nd day at London was very very productive!!

Not going into too much details to bore you down, I'll just give a summary of my day =)

Morning- Sandeman's London Tour which was free!!! Lasted for 2.5 hours.

The tour guide that my group got was an ex-teacher so he had pictures and all the interesting history that he shared. We went to

·         Hyde Park Corner

·         Buckingham Palace

·         The Changing of the Guard (most days)

·         Churchill’s War Cabinet Bunker

·         The Houses of Parliament

·         St. Martin-in-the-Fields

·         Westminster Abbey

·         Trafalgar Square

·         Nelson’s Column

·         Wellington Arch

·         St. James’s Park

·         10 Downing St.

·         Horseguards

·         Big Ben

Afternoon- PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!

We took the chance to just pop by Her Majesty's Theater and there was seats!!! We sat at row K at the stalls and it was brilliant!!!
The props were GREAT especially in the scene where The Phantom kidnapped Christine into his underground house and during the masquerade. The props were awesome!!
At the first 1.5 hours, I felt that the Phantom was singing too fast compared to the live orchestra and I can't connect to Raol, in a way I can't feel his emotions towards Christine. The way he conveyed his feelings were too 'rock solid hard' and not gentle like how a man who is in love. I don't know, it's just me maybe?

But after the interval, things picked up and it was just marvelous!!! In terms of singing, The Phantom was really good, Christine was very very good too but Raol still...erm...ya...but he's great as well (just the conveying feeling part). La Carlotta was as diva as ever and she was WOW!!!

I really really love this show because there's live orchestra, ballet, Great actresses and actors and I love POTO. I was mouthing the whole musical because I have the POTO movie's soundtrack so I know somewhat all the words LOL

Evening- met up with friends of friend and we headed to Chinatown. On the way, stopped by at shops and spent quite some time at this M&M shop which has 4 floors and full with M&M things ranging from merchandise to multicoloured M&M!!!

Night- Went home to my friend's aunt's place and had a nice pre-malaysian dinner =)

Best thing- slept at 11pm and woke up at 6am!! Finally a normal nice good sleep!!!!!!
