White Chocolate Cheesecake

I've just baked a white chocolate cheesecake for Stuart's dad - for his birthday.

It's 2.48am now in UK.

Compared to the photo of the cake online, mine seems to be brownish on certain parts.
hahaha!!!

I have this paranoia about me, that I tend to leave food cooked/baked longer than the stated time, because I'm always afraid that they're not done properly. My mentality is better over done than not. lol!

Thus, producing burnt food and brownish cakes. lol! - well not always!

And seriously it ain't so bad hahaha!! I'm just leaving it to cool right now for an hour or so and I'll put it in the fridge overnight and decorate it tomorrow... ok technically it's already tomorrow.. so.. later. :P

I'll post pics of the cake soon. Going to Stuart's parents house later :)

miss them so much! :D

CJ

The other day I was chatting with Shannen and found out that her brother is actually taking dance lessons at CJ.
I thought of Hayley and Jayley and asked her to ask her brother if he knew them LOL... Not that it really matters though, but still... hahaha!
I got a bit too exciting asking her to ask him if he knew the twins lol!

Anyway... the date is drawing nearer and I should start packing my luggage!

Masters Degree!

I have just received a conditional offer to my first choice course:
MA Radio(Production & Management), which starts on 19 September 2011 to 30 September 2012.

Conditional offer because I would need to receive a classification Degree qualification of 2:1.

I would only know if I've got a 2:1 or not on July 4 2011.

However, this means that i've been acccepted into the course and have passed my interview :)

Now, I'll only need to wait to know if I've got a 2:1, and pay my tuition fees, then I'll get my unconditional letter of offer. :)

Events in No Order

There has been a lot of events that I have not blogged about, and it just seems a bit silly to blog all of them now, since it has been months since it has passed already. But I'll put a picture of each event though, as there are just tooooo many photos. You'll see all of them on my facebook though, only if you're my friend, as my profile is private.

so this was during easter.
left to right. this year april 2011,
wispa egg - for stuart
diary egg - for stuart's dad
twirl egg - for stuart's mum
easter trail - obviously a trail for us to put along in his parents house :)
broken little SALE egg - tattered and torn! it's a joke egg. to present it to his parents that it's their egg. LOL!! but obviously it's just a joke LOL.
malteaster egg - MINE FROM HIM ! HAHAHA! .. reason is becase last year i gave him a raelly good one and he gave me a normal one. so it's the other way round now HAHAHAHA!!!! i know.. lame :P but fun :P well we stayed over at his parents house for 2 nights i think.



this year march 2011.circus at revolution. a charity fundrasier organised by my friend, Isabel Gintley for her project. Went there with stu, georgina, becca, jennifer... etc etc etc. quite a few people. had a great time! there were stilt walkers - is that what you call them? people on stilts. lol. and professional dancers. and snakes! and supposedly fire breather, but the wind outside was too strong so it was cancelled. Anyway, this is me..... first time with a snake! I chickened out many times! But, with the encouragement of my bf i went for it ..... really scared.

Becca only touched it with her finger and she burst out crying! :( Well, understandably it's because she has a fear of snakes all along.


halloween party last year october 2010. lol. i know i know. at becca's flat with her friends. i went as a witch. it was my first time meeting isabel gintey :) that's her beside me as a ladybug :) oh baby went as a dracula. he's behind me if you notice. i'm sitting on his lap as there weren't many seats about lol. oh how this would be frowned upon in singapore. with people stomping it.

Oooookay! I've summarised my many events that I've not blogged about into 1 post. lol! But sorry for the lack of details. I think I'm just getting really lazy with blogs now. Only about 4 or 5 people know about this blog really. lol.
Ok, I'm going on the exercise bike now, ciao!

vyjayanthi

I googled vyjayanthi on google and got this image, I guess I'll credi this to Silver's blog : http://thatsilvergirl.blogspot.com


I've been watching an Indian drama from Singapore online called vyjayanthi.
truth be told, this is the first time I'm even watching an Indian drama, since I'm a Chinese lol. But, I really like Silver Ang, hence I started watching it.

Since I'm in the UK, and I can't access some shows online, saying it's not available in my region, but luckily I was able to watch vyjayanthi.

For 3 days I've been watching it and have just finished Episode 25.

BUT, where are the other episodes?! I'm pretty sure there is at least one more, as I saw 'to be continued' whereby vyjayanthi's dad asked her to go back to China? ... What happens next? .....

Now I'll never know ... sigh :(

Can someone please tell them to upload the rest of the drama?? :(

That aside, Silver acted really well! I was really impressed! I was saying on facebook about it, and surprisingly I've got a friend who actually watched it as well and said about how impressed she is with Silver's acting.

She really deserves to win for the upcoming awards.

Somehow the life in the drama, I felt, kind of reflected a bit of her life not so long ago, when she was going through hard times, betrayals and all. But I'm glad that she has picked herself up and not let these setbacks affect her. Silver should know that she's so much better and I'm proud of her :) She will always be my idol! :)

Anyway, it's 2.42am now.

Goodnight!!

Happy 50th Birthday, Jacky! :)

UPDATES

Hi!
Yesterday I went to Stuart's parents house and then together with his parents and sister and hi, we went to a pub restaurant for a meal.

everyone ordered a starter each with a main.

i had calamari for my start and had sea bass with mash potato for my main
it was so yummy yummy!!! hehehe. and orange juice :)

Thank you Mike for the meal!!! :) :) :)

after that we went back to their place and watched come dine with me, and then man utd vs bar with them in the living room lol.

3-1. oh well. what can i say LOL.

watched chuck after that and it was 11pm plus, they gave us the comforter sheets if we wanted to stay over, but we decided to go home.

so today we went to the metrocentre to paperchase, to buy materials for his mum's card for her birthday next week.

had subway and played some arcade and home sweet home.

Well, now I've finished all my assignments and dissertation, so I'm just waiting for graduation on 15 July now.

my parents are coming on 7 July, and I'll be meeting them in London, and touring round for a week before coming to Sunderland for my graduation and touring the north east for 3 days. Then, we're going to Scotland, then Paris, then to Amsterdam, and back to London and to SG! :) I will be back for a month.

during the last 2 weeks, bf will be coming over!! and then we will be returning to UK together. As, I will have to start my Masters in September :)

Thats all for now :)

I've done quite a few things like attend Laura's 21st and Tori's 21st birthday party with lots of photos but I had been so busy. But now I'll make time for that.

And also, Hannah has gone to Belgium to work, and also to be closer to her bf who's from Belgium. I miss her so much :( .

Oh well, ok.. talking to Jolynn on MSN now.. so i'm signing off! :) bye peeps :)

London Baby!

Yo! So, as you know we stayed over the night before at Stu's parents house and yesterday Mike ( stu's dad ) droveeee us like the speed of lightning to the train station LOL! because this stuart was trying to set up his computer and we were almost late! luckily Mike drove as fast as he could, speeding even. HAHAHA! .

Lukily we made it in time with 15 mins to spare. and we got toasts and bread/sweet for the train ride.

It was my first time taking 1st class, and it was just awesome! :). Free wifi, complimentary drinks and snacks, and you could order anything on the menu too ( but this you have to pay ) . lol.

Once we reached kings cross station we went to the toilet ( had to pay 30pence to get through the toilet entrance barrier! ) lol!

We then went to 'i can't remember where' but the place where he was supposed to have his meeting and I sat and waited for him at a Mcdonalds. I had a Grilled Chicken Salad in Mcdonalds :)

When he came back, we went to Oxford street to look around as I wanted to get something for his parents. Our initial idea was to go to another train station called Holland.. Something where there is a Singapore Chinese Restaurant lol. But whilst walking along Oxford Street we saw a Singaporean/Malaysian eatery and had a look. We decided to come back here to eat instead. I also saw a shop called Wasabi and they sold sushi and other japanese food! I took a tray and put 6 pieces of sushi in! lol! 2 salmon, 2 octopus and 2 mayo crabmeat. it was not bad! haha. We continued walking and saw Whittard of Chelsea! I remember buying this set of coffee for his dad for Christmas last year. and one of presents for Stu's birthady was a box of coffee too ( different from his dad ). And they loved it so much. So we went in and they had samples to try as well. I bought a tin of cranberry and erm.. I can't remember now. LOL. But it was instant tea. YOu could have it hot or cold. It's in powder form.

After that we went to some other station to see the St Paul's Church, took some photos and walked to the Bank station to see the Bank of England! It is the bank that deals with the whole world's $$$ ££££ !!!!!!!


I had Singapore Fried Vermicilli and he had Beef Rendang with rice. We also shared a plate of Satay! Yumz!!!

As for drinks I had teh tarik!! And he had hot lemon tea! :) Because I went up to order and they brought the food to us. When the drinks came it was amazing how the person knew that I was the one who wanted Teh Tarik LOL.. or maybe not. HAHAHA!!

After that we had take away as well. We ordered 2 Hainanese Chicken Rice and 1 Singapore Fried Vermicilli. 1 Chicken Rice was for us the next day, whilst 1 chicken rice and 1 singapore vermicilli for his parents :) .

After that we were changing trains to get to the railway. My legs were killing me. We checked the board and it said that our train was on platform 0. We thought.. Hmmm.. The thing is not out yet.... but when we asked it was in fact platform 0 lol!

We hurried ourselves and Stu almost got us to board the wrong train at platform 1! Then I was like " This is platform 1!!! " and we hurried to the one at the right which said platform 0 and he re-confirmed with the captain and we hurried in to the cabin, yes we finally made it for our 8pm train back to Darlington :) .

When we went to London, we shared the table with another couple opposite us. But this time round there wasn't much people around and we had the whole table to ourselves hahaha. But, the seats opposite us, were actually also reserved like us. That meant that there was supposed to be 2 people sitting opposite us. Stuart checked the reserved ticket and it said that they were supposed to drop off at York station. But when the train left, nope... no one. lol! Oh well.

Charged my Itouch and was playing Wedding Dash the whole time for 3hours. lol! And Stu was reading news on the laptop.

When we reached Darlington station, Stu's dad was waiting for us in the car. I think it was about 11pm already. He drove us back Thanks Mike! :)

Gave him the tea and food, and he wanted to try a bit and I dished out some chicken rice and vermicilli for him and re-heated it in the microwave. He loved it haha. Unfortunately, his mum was asleep already.


This morning, I heard that his parents ate more of the food lol. Anyway I had half of the chicken rice I shared with Stu. yum yum!! His other half is still in the fridge because he has an operation later on today, and he's not supposed to have anything to eat or drink except water. And again his dad will be driving us to the hospital and back later. Bless him x :)

Took lots of photos, and I will upload them when I'm free. LOL. ( I wonder when... ) .. Because I've still got lots of uni work on hand to do!!!

Tata for now :) x

Baby's New Hairstyle

So we're going to London tomorrow as he has to attend a meeting, thus he went to Tony and Guys today for a haircut. From the previous post, you can see that he brought those 2 pictures to the hairdressers and this is the result. lol! It's more to the shorter fringe kind, because his fringe was quite short in the first place. All that's left is for him to grow his fringe out and it'll be perfect. But for now, it's still perfect! Because I can help him style it! hahaha! His hair has more volume now, after putting the magic powder in his hair.

This was before I styled it for him though.

His back


His side

And front :)



Nice? haha.

Ok we're going to his parents house now. I miss them! *hearts*

Bye!! :)
