DT Gang.

Introducing to you... The DT Gang!!!!

MUAHAHAHA. DT gang, consisting of (from left) me, Josephine and Janice, is an all-girl group which gets all their members (yeah, just the 3 of us. haha) together to watch dramas and shows!

Pretty cool gang, huh? Haha! But we actually have a rival gang which does not approve of our 'acitivity' and vice versa, and they are... the SD gang = St. David gang, which is an all boys group formed by some of our male friends, including Ben (my boyfriend) and David (Josephine's boyfriend). HAHAHA. They get together at St. David computer lab for intensive gaming till wee hours or even 9am in the morning, which makes Josephine and I go crazy and diao. Like that --> -.-||| Haha.

What does DT stand for? Because the SD gang has yet to guess what it stands for, we shall wait until they got the right name, then we'll tell the rest of you okay! (:

Okay, I think I sound like some nut case. BUT this lovely DT gang will always stay strong and will watch dramas together no matter what! We've watched several dramas since the formation of this gang, and recently we started watching this Taiwanese drama called 微笑pasta (Smile pasta)! The artistes starring in this show are Nicholas Teo (Zhang Dong liang. !!!! He's such a great singer!!!!) and Cyndi Wang (one of her song goes like, "Yo, Cyndi baby, what's wrong WIS me! lol).

Oh man, I MUST stress that Nicholas Teo is SUCH A GREAT SINGER! He's from Kuching, Sarawak and he's made it so big in Taiwan, Singpore and Hong Kong!

张栋梁和王心凌！

But I still think Gino is 帅-er!

Haha, anyway! We're almost finished with this drama, but whilst watching Smile Pasta, the 3 of us went bonkers and tied our hair into 2 plaits, just like Cyndi Wang! HAHA. The fun time begins!

Smile pasta! :D

Then we had a craving for PASTA, because the pasta in that drama look soooo appetizing and yummy! So last night, we, along with 2 guys from SD gang (= Ben and David) to Etrusco for some great pasta!

Us with our pasta! Too bad Etrusco didn't have a dish called Smile Pasta or else all 3 of us will order that! Ben couldn't finish his food cos he ordered GRANDE size. Hahahaha.

Since we had a camera, someone (really can't remember who!) suggested taking a photo of each of us, with this question in our heads: "What facial expression would you give if this is the only photo that portraits your life?"

And the results:

David. A sad and agonizing face! HAHA.


Ben. 笑口常开！I think more like spastic smile. LOL.


Me. I dunno why I did this expression, but it's Thazin's signature smile! HAHA. But it's cute so I imitated her. MEOW! Cheeky at the same time. Haha.


Janice. 寂寞边界. （is it this bian1?) Sing Nicholas Teo's song!! Hahaha.


Josephine. What kinda expression is that?! So funny lah!! LOL.

Great food, great company makes Jessica happy. :D Haha.

And finally, the crazy photo of the day - Janice Cheung being LAME.

OUT!

Egg tarts! Brownies! Oreo milkshake! Sausages! ZATHURA!

Last night was such an eventful night! Haha. :D

The bunch of us - Josh, Hooi Xian, Kar Wai, Lawrence, Josephine, David, Kah Wooi, Ben and I had a small gathering at my place just eating and talking and baking and watching movie. (: But at the same time, we tried our best to keep our noise level down because poor Janice was sleeping upstairs cos' she still has 3 more exams to go.

I dated Hooi Xian for a egg tart baking session too, and thankfully, it was a success! Yippy! We did the crusts ourselves too, so every bit of the egg tarts started from scratch. It's no surprise that it's a success, because I've got Hooi Xian the bakery girl with me! Thanks Hooi Xian! You're simply the best. (:

Introducing the bakers of the night - Hooi Xian and I!


Have a look at our precious lil' egg tarts! Actually, they're not all that little, because they're moulded in a muffin tray, so they're as big as muffins!! Haha. "Biggest egg tarts I've ever had" as quoted from Janice. Hohoho.

Yum... Home made egg tarts.... -sounding all like Homer Simpson-

To think that the dough and the 'egg-milk-sugar mixture' can actually be made into such wonderful delicacy! I can't stop drooling. Hahaha.

Before and after photos.

THE ATTACK OF EGG TARTS!

The both of us were busy taking photos of our egg tarts until the last batch of egg tarts were a lil' burnt at the sides!! Aww... But they're equally delicious. Just cut off the burnt bits and they taste all good again. X)

We still got a few egg tarts left, so we'll be having egg tarts for tomorrow's breakfast too! I don't mind having them everyday, cos they're simply yummilicious!

My flatmate, David, saw that we were baking egg tarts and so decided to bake brownies too! It was delicious too!


This photo does not do justice to his lovely brownies! Lousy camera gives such lousy effects. Aww. ):

David also made oreo and chocolate milk shake for us all! THANKS DAVID!! It was sooooo good. It's a pity I didn't take a photo of the blender filled with whole goodness of oreo milk shake... AWWW. Sing the OREO song!!! "OREO... OREO, OREO!!!" YUM.

Lawrence also went to fry some sausages which were left overs from their cell group BBQ session, but I didn't have any cos' we were just about to start on our movie. The movie of the night was... ZATHURA!


Haha! It's something like Jumanji, just that these 2 lil' boys went into outer space! Haha. The little-est boy, Danny, is UBER cute lah!! Well, being the childish me, I know I had fun watching the show! Haha. We were all very much into the show, shouting and instructing the boys in the television of what to do next when we know it's not possible that the conclusion of the movie would even change because of us. HAHA. But it was fun, guys! Thanks for the night! And thanks for the extra pounds added to my already flabby body ah. HAHA. Just joking! :P


OUT!

Friendship.

my Friendster account

Was skimming through the testimonials my friends left for me for the past... 4 years? I truly think that I do have friends who care for me, and always constantly asking me to be careful, be happy and everything nice. You know that these friendships are priceless and you can never use money to buy them.

Funny thing is, there are a handful of friends I have that I don't even keep in contact with anymore! Now that is sad. Friends I made from primary school, secondary school, fewer from Otago uni cos' I still see them around. Yeah, I see them on Friendster putting up new photos, getting new testimonials and all, but I don't exactly go say hi to them, or ask them how they are.

my MSN messenger list

The same goes for MSN messenger. I actually friends on my MSN list that I don't speak to either! There was a point in time I tried to chat with everyone else on my list, try to catch up with old friends, reminisce the past with them etc, but gradually we just stopped talking again. How I wish I can curb these negative emotions I have right now.

Don't you think it's quite sad losing friends even when we have opportunities to approach one another? I honestly think it is sad! I can somehow predict how awkward it will be just talking to someone I haven't spoken to in YEARS! But it is always good to keep in contact with every friend we have. We just won't know how precious they are until we lose them.

I remember back in my Primary 6 and Secondary 4 days when everyone was asking everyone else to write in their autograph books. Cute lil' friendship poems written about 'friends are as precious as gold' and 'forget-me-not'. I have my own autograph books which were passed around in class and my friends placing baby photos of themselves, writing best wishes to me and all. I always get a snuggly warm feeling everytime I read them. You recall how you and your mates met, how these friendships developed, funny incidents that occurred back when we were teeny poppers or defying teenagers. The memories are just... Invaluable.

I think I just miss all my friends, that's all.

Clammy Day!!

Yup! I'm here to blog about this interesting day! It was Karwai who suggested this clam picking day, and I was honestly thrilled because I haven't picked any clams before! Ignorant me actually thought that clams open their shells and may bite!! HAHA. And yes, that isn't true at all. They're absolutely harmless and if their shells are apart, my clam pickers say "DON'T PICK THEM UP. Not nice to eat already." :D So I just followed their instructions!


Clam-pickers for the day: karwai, me, paopao, lawrence, hooixian, joshua and ben!

Monday was a really windy day! Thank God I wore a hoodie, or else my teeth would be chattering!


Photo shots before our MISSION! Girls vs guys! Haha!! being the really mafan girls, we had so many photo shots, while the guys just had 1 perfect one. (:

Picking clams isn't a very tough job at all (except for shoulder and back aches after picking for so long!). However, finding big ones can be a difficult task to accomplish. Where are you, Queen clam???


Clam picking time! it was freeeezing cold that day!! imagine how the girls were taking this... brrr!! hooixian couldn't stand the cold and went back into the car.. aww..

We had a competition too! Whoever who managed to pick the biggest clam shall get a treat from everyone! Fish and chips to the winner!!

Funny thing was, though it was a day of clam picking, we didn't even have a photo of our clams!!! Instead, I had photos of the crabs I caught! Check those lil' cuties out!


I actually caught 2. The one in my hand is different from the one swimming in the water.. haha

I managed to catch one of them because it bit Ben!! Hahahaha. Poor Ben! Everyone said I should let the crab go.. So, I had to throw it far far away so it won't bite ben again...


On your mark... Get set...

GO!!!!!

GOODBYE CRABBIE!!!

AWW. I feel cruel. ):

After about an hour of clam picking, we decided to go mussel plucking! HAHA, funny action word! PLUCKING.


Lawrence... Always trying to be funny. No lah, he is actually a very humorous guy.. (: An artistic photo by the way!

Unfortunately, the tide was too high, so we didn't find any that day... Sad. But it was all in the name of fun!


Stopped by a playground for some fun on the swing! Swings are just lovely. I always hop onto one when I see one. The wind in your hair... Ahhhh~ Hahaha

At the end of the day, I caught the biggest clam! YAY! And Karwai was awarded the most hardworking clam picker! LOL.


The fish and chips I 'won'! :D Thanks Karwai! The blue cod I tried from Fish Inn is SO good!!! FRESH!

Though the weather wasn't as fine as we expected, but the company was absolutely great. Thanks guys!! You made my day. (:

Interstingly, I don't eat clams! i don't find them really yummy, and that includes mussels, lala, cockles etc. But it was fun picking clams! HEHE. Karwai was supposed to make omelette with clams for the rest of them, but she reported that the clams were sooo tiny!! NOOOO, we have to pick more clams in future!! The big ones have yet to be picked up! WE SHALL TRY TO PICK BIG ONES IN FUTURE.


But nevertheless, cheers to our friendship! :D:D:D

OUT!

blog skins 2!

Okay. I've decided to stick with this new blogskin!

By the way, the previous blogskin I was referring to was this:


It looked okay on Mozilla Firefox, but when I switched to Internet Explorer, I couldn't figure out where the scroll bars were! I thought it was quite messy too, so I'm sticking with this current one! :D I didn't have to do much editting on this template, which is puuurfect for this lazy girl. :)

Instead of using the usual Blogskins.com, I found this template here. Few to choose from, but they're actually quite nice. (: This may not be the best skin, but I think this suits me. Haha, all pinky and colourful. And most importantly, it is simple and plain! Loves it.

Speaking of blog skins, I realised those who submitted blog skins at Blogskins.com are 11 12 year olds!!! I think I was only playing five stones and police-and-thief when I was in Primary 6!!

I feel old all of the sudden. -.-

But I still love my blogskin. :D

OUT!

blog skins!

TADA!

Haha. A new blog skin for the year. LOL. Haven't got time to try and learn how to actually make one, so I just got this from a real blog skin creator (is that what you call them?). I really like this skin, but I've got another one which I really like too!!

Can you guys vote? I can't make my decision!!

Here's the other one.


I like the image SO much!! See the maple leaves? Aww, they're so pretty! Plus it gives the 'autumn-mish' look for my blog (mists of autumn mah.. Haha). But the problem is that I don't quite like having to click on the little crosses at the bottom to look at other stuff.. I like just having everything on this page and that's exactly what the current blogskin has for me. But I supersupersuper like the image!! OH MAN... THIS IS HARD. This skin is also currently my desktop image cos it's just too pretty. (:

And for the current blogskin I'm using, I like the pattern at the side as well, but the thing is I tried editting the colours and all so you guys can read without squinting your eyes, but the colours aren't suitable. Oh well... But I like them both, that's why it's a tough choice.

Do leave some comments on my chatterbox on the right okay? I'm still in a dilemma. Aww...

clammy!

Will blog more about our clammy day when I get more photos from Pao! :D

-clammyclamclam-

A story.

Uncle Cheong Lai told us a story during his sermon today and I thought it'd be nice to share with you guys. (:

To make the story more interesting and light and maybe a tad cuter, I decided to draw out pictures! Hope my art classes back in primary and secondary school didn't fail me. HAHA. Here goes!

This Christian guy passed away, but like all Christians do, ended up in Heaven. He was outside Heaven's gate, but before going through the door, he wanted to find out how Hell was like. So a kind angel (a pink one) agreed to bring him down to check it out.

Hell - Hot, smoky and dark...

Then the Christian guy saw this HUGEEEE bowl in the middle of Hell. The bowl is filled with really yummy soup!

And around the bowl stood many people (from Hell)!!

When the man noticed the people, they were all skinny and looking all sick and hungry.
Every of the Hell people had a really long spoon each and they need the spoons to scoop soup from the really big bowl.
However, the spoons were all too long! Before they even tried to put soup into their mouths, all the soup had already spilled over everywhere!

The man thought: "Hmm, no wonder they all looked skinny and sick. They don't have nourishment!!"

So off went the Christian guy and the lil' pink angel back to Heaven. They were greeted by more pink lil' angels and sweet music. (:
When he went through Heaven's gate, he saw yet another big bowl of soup!!

And around the bowl stood many people too! Just like what he saw in Hell.
But when he noticed his companions in Heaven, he noticed that they all looked healthy and rosy! A total opposite of those in Hell!
All of them have got a spoon each too.

"But why the difference between the people in Heaven and Hell?"

Then the Christian guy noticed what his companions were doing...
People in Heaven were stretching their long spoons to the other side of the bowl and feeding one another! :D:D:D

SO, it's always good to help one another! A verse relevant to this story:

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." - Matthew 7:12

Share and spread the love, people! :)

Out!

OUT!

overoverover!!

(:

Yay, exams are OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Time to blogblogblog! Hahaha.

To be honest, I didn't think my exams went as well as I wanted them to, but since the exam week's over, I should just get over it! It's been such a hectic week, waking up at 5am, no, 6am (because I snooze for an hour!!) and sleeping at as early as 9pm in order to get my 8 hours of sleep every night. Studying for the wholeeeeee day is really crazy. Imagine doing that for 3 weeks. OH, the horror.

Was supposed to get up at 7am this morning before heading off to the examination venue, but I WOKE UP AT 615am INSTEAD BECAUSE THERE WAS ALREADY SUNLIGHT SEEPING THRU THE TINY SLIT BETWEEN MY CURTAINS. Instant wake up call from the early risen sun. So now you see why I really need my sleep... zzz. Summer's here and the sun just rises ultra early every morning!!!

Oh well! Anyway, something else to blog about!

If you guys didn't know, my mum came and spent a week here with us and I'm sure Janice and I really appreciated her hard work for cooking, cleaning and mending our stuff during the week. Good on ya, ma! HAHAHA. And not forgetting our crazy night with all the crazy photos. Shan't post all of them because some are just horrendous and crazy and dumb, so here's one!


the pro-est zilian-ers of ALL...

That was such a nice shot lah!! :D

OH. And I must mention about this!!! Whenever my mama comes, I'd plead her to:

• Dig my ears ( HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. She's been the one doing it since I was a baby. Can't be helped! Of course, I dig them myself when she's not here.. I'm not that gross!)

• Pluck my eye brows (You know, I can't be bothered to go see where my arch should be, how much I should pluck etc... Grrr...)

• Do facial on me (Painful, but gooooood)

So presenting to you guys, my facial and eye brow plucking experience at the comfort of my own room. HAHA.


The once-every-few-months eye brow plucking and facial

Okay, most of the shots were just lame zilian photos, but you get the point. ;)

Another photo of us! :D


3 women. Me, Janice and Mummy!

When I posted this photo, I thought of another photo I had. And it is this one.


3 girls.

Back in 1989 when I was only 3. CUTE!!! Hahaha. Mummy, Me and Janice and MY pinky doll.

Look how much we grew!! It's crazy! 17 years of growing! HAHA.

Andddddd, lastly, I must also talk about what I relied on during this crazy study weeks. And they are:

• my MOGU cushion from Ad Infinitum and Qi! :D Had really painful shoulder aches during that period because of all the crazy studying, so I needed my cushion to support my back and shoulders. Thanks guys for the cushion! It's been serving me faithfully for almost 3 years. :D


• a sweet note from Hooi Xian. She made chocolate spread and placed it between 2 biscuits and gave all of us! This note is pasted on my wall as a MOTIVATION! hehe.

• scripture from Proverbs 3:5-6. I'm sure most students will know this verse. It really helps! (:

• facial masks. Been putting them on almost every alternate day as a reward for my hard work! (not as if i studied very hard, but yeah.)
  

things that helped me through my study period. HAHA. MY GROSS FACE!!!

Alrightey! Will stop here. It's the holidays for meeeeee~~! Haha. Oh, I hear fireworks from outside! It's Guy Fawk's Day/week or whatever! Must remember to buy some to play!! Double yay-ness. :D:D:D

My exams?

One word to describe it: BAD.

BADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBAD.

I'm in such a terrible mood now... ):

Wanna cry already lah.

No one at home.

Lonely girl. Cry alone.

No one to talk to.

Lonely girl. Talk to herself.


BE STRONG JESS, one more to go.
