befrienders!
Monday, December 10, 2012
yesterday was chapter 29's befriender's party! i brought pearlyn to this party and i feel so relieved to know that she enjoyed herself ytd with my cell group! i was so worried that the atmosphere of the party was going to be pretty awkward because it's a fact that most of us aren't that outgoing but i'm glad that with people like dom that made this party a success! :) so thank God for that! philip's house is SO NICE OMG! his house has 3 storeys, he has one rabbit and one female golden retriever. she's huge, but super pretty!! hahahah, philip has his own personal bathroom and a small balcony, so shiok! oh and one HUGE surprise was that his mother actually taught me in sunday school many years ago. it was like after so long then i realised that she is philip's mom! oh dear me, i was shocked. the amount of food that we had for steamboat was MASSIVE. too much food!! we had quite a lot of leftovers :x i baked mango cupcakes with frosting and brought a big box and i tied it up with red ribbon so it looked like i was carrying a big birthday cake. i wasn't really pleased with what i did actually. hmm, i read the recipe online and i cut down the quantity of the ingredients all by half, thinking that it was going to be a lot of frosting. i didn't expect the quantity to be exact! so ended up, i only had like half of my cupcakes properly frosted. OH and to make things worse, i actually made the frosting wrongly. lol.. i used caster sugar instead of icing sugar so you could actually taste the individual sugar crystals, not good. so anyway, half were properly frosted and half were NOT. the rest had this retarded little dot on it. gosh, i feel so horrible. also, the mango that i bought wasn't sweet.. it was a bit sour! and the cupcake that i tasted couldn't really detect the mango taste! sigh i'm such a perfectionist at this kind of things, should apply this to studies too! most of them had good feedback about it, so i felt less horrible hahaha. but it was a bit surprising that pearlyn said that this mango cupcake is nicer than my durian muffin! hmm maybe it's just my taste buds. still have a few cupcakes and muffins left in my fridge, hoping to clear them soon! it was so much fun making them. this recipe for the muffin was from my mum and it turned out well! i didn't actually follow the recipe exactly, didn't see clearly so missed out one ingredient which was milk. but the muffin turned out nice and soft! it's definitely a keeper :) saw mr toh's posts on fb about him and raffles' voices in europe right now, participating in the exact same competition as dmnchoir did last year. same venue as well! at this time last year, i would probably be wearing my thick winter coat, practising really hard and having a good time with all my juniors :) how fast time flies really, soon it'll be christmas and then new year will arrive, then school starts. heard this song recently. i'm gonna make this my goal for next year, which i'm expecting is going to be hell. this songs touches my heart, i think it's the innocence and purity that is lacking in our present situation. everyone is always skeptical about everything, not choosing to believe. instead, we make decisions based on our logic, and not what we believe in our heart (except relationship). the voice of michael in this song really shows the simplicity of how life can actually be and it's not so complicated that we make it to be. With a Child's Heart - MJ "With a child's heart, go face the worries of the day. With a child's heart, turn each problem into play." i guess, every child would be excited to see and try new things. they will want to reach out for anything that intrigues them. so i believe, i should have the mentality to face everything with a positive mind and heart. accept everything with a grateful heart, stand up and try again each time you fail. you don't give up until you succeed.
