Late dinner
The three of us had decided to meet for dinner at 9:30pm tonight. And I feel like I've put on a few kgs. Because I had oyster omelette (totally deep fried with oil oozing out) and borsch soup (very starchy).
At the 24hr HK cafe for dessert at kovan after a filling dinner at Chomp Chomp.

Four Months Away
Clarice, my dearest cousin, is leaving for Queensland tonight to further her studies. Though it's only for one year, which I know will pass quickly, right now, it seems like light years away.
This morning, we managed to get together for some girl time before she left. We caught Transformers 2 (A VERY GOOD MOVIE) and lunched together. We had the most sinful and delicious chocolate mudpie for dessert. It's good to indulge once in a while.
I'm gonna miss her! No more coffee dates and random meetings for FOUR whole months!
The very yummy mudpie. Our last girlie hangout before she leaves me.

Who knew singing would be tiring...
I know, I'm so spoiled. Singing all our favourite songs in an air con room with large lounge cushions for 5 and a half hours makes me tired. Who knew it'd be tiring. But, it was great fun. What a great way to pass the Saturday! A girls' day out. All the cousins together again, singing all the chinese pop and english r&b hits. I haven't done it in a while, and I miss going to karaoke and singing away.

Pretty dresses
When you're down, it's nice to see pleasant things. Even if I know I can't fit in any of those, it's nice to look at pretty models in pretty outfits!
And this shoe! It's gorgeous. Called the Black Belly Snake.

I mean, seriously?
What sort of mother is she? There are times I love my mum, but at this very moment, I can safely say NO. I swear at this moment, I detest her more than ever. Why? Because I "stole" her TV time from her. I wanted to watch just this one episode of Boston Legal, but she wanted to watch her TVB drama (which has repeats, mind you). She's hogging the TV the whole day, and I think tonight is only ONE night in a very long time that I want to catch a show on TV.
So, to cut the story short, my MOTHER, ends up calling me "shit" half the time, and last I heard, I'm a "bitch" too. Tell me, which mother calls her daughter that?
Sometimes, when I tell my friends that my mother is just irritating, they say "All mothers are like that". To which they mean the nagging, the scolding and shouting (for good reason). I just don't know how to explain that she is different. In terms of her attitude and her character. She doesn't think before she says anything, she's short tempered, and sometimes, I think a hypocrite. A Christian isn't supposed to behave like that (not that I claim to be on my best behavior tonight by snatching the TV from my mum). But seriously, I'm angry tonight.
Maybe tomorrow, when I'm clear headed, I might love her A BIT again. I really don't like the love-hate relationship I have with my Mum. I just wish she were normal and understanding like other Mums.

Don't you just love Birthdays?
Since the start of July, there's been birthday surprise after birthday surprise. We started off with Maureen's on the 3rd. Clarice and I met up the day before to bake Maureen a surprise home-made cake. It was MEANT TO BE A SURPRISE, but then, my sister JUST HAD TO OPEN HER BIG GAB and so, a surprise went bust.
Anyway, we still had fun that day. In the afternoon, we went over to her place and surprised her with her cake, singing happy birthday as we walked in with candles lit. Then, we took a cable car ride around Harbourfront area.
In the cable car! How exciting!
Another surprise in the cable car! A hand made card!
And then on Monday night around 11pm, we headed to some new park in Sengkang for a surprise for Fiona. We wanted to greet her happy birthday by midnight... but again, the surprise kindda went haywire. Haha, but it was all in good fun. We all got the wrong location, and in the end, Fiona had to come to us. It was tooo funny!
Fiona's 20!
Doing the necessary preparations on a SMALL tiny bench.
Here she comes!
Birthday celebration in the dark, in a park, at past 12 midnight. Look at the joy on her face! ;)
A group photo. My camera wasn't being very cooperative that night. I think it was sleepy!
Opening her presents.

A two-month-in-advance birthday celebration
... since we won't be able to celebrate her 21st with her!
This afternoon, we went to Ning's house for a mini farewell party for Chuang. We cooked our own lunch and decided to celebrate her 21st (which falls in September) with her too!
Happy 21st!
Making a wish...
And BLOW!
All afternoon, we took pictures and had a great time playing Guitar Heros on Ning's Wii and playing with a very smelly Motto. I'm so addicted to guitar heros now!
Smelly Motto
We'll miss you when you leave, Chuang! Now Ning has no choice but to hang out with me... Heh!
Before our mini party ended, we presented her with her farewell cum b'day gift.
What's in the bag??
Ohhhh... a navy blue pull over!
Yep! It fits! And she loves it! *Although its a teeny bit sung around the chest area!* Ahem!

Baking Queens
Yesterday, Clarice and I did the unimaginable and decided to bake Maureen's birthday cake. Boy, was it tough work! Let me just say that we were EXHAUSTED by the time we finished baking.
We used a heart shaped mould to shape the cake. And then we made icing cream out of egg white and icing. We spread the border with choc chips and did our own writing! How cool is our birthday cake?
I reckon for a first try, it turned out pretty good!
We also baked a butter cake and several batches of chocolate muffins.
We baked soft muffins that can be eaten with vanilla ice cream, hard and crispy topped muffins, banana muffins, double choc chip muffins and tiny-not-so-sweet muffins. All were really good!

Happy Birthday!
Tonight, we had an early b'day celebration for Maur. It's funny how as we grow older, we get bigger and taller... but it doesn't seem so for Maur. ;)
Just love bugging her about the size. Shorty!
Happy 20th! You know I still love you.. sometimes... ;)
