I dont want to be a student anymore! So please please, let me pass all my subjects this semester!
Worries aside, I'm not done enjoying my holidays yet!!!
*
The month of May, is a special month!
It is the birthday month of a few individuals who are rather important to me..
In accordance to the dates,
Quack Quack!
Happy Birdday!
Thank you for being there for me rain or shine, and all the shirts that i've ruined when i cry. You mean more than words could justify.
and i sure hope that you like your present! I spent lots of time, dilema and leg muscles getting you your present despite exams. *makes angry face*
Hahhahaha
Next in line we have Ben!
Dude! Finally a decade of friendship! Awww we sound so old.
For all the countless time you bailed me out when i crashed and burned! *hugs*
For the occassion, we headed over to Waraku as i was going through my japanese food phrase/craze to gorge ourselves silly as usual.I look more pleased with my food...
than he does... oh well.
I ordered some paper pot soup set, and he ordered some udon i think?
There was the additional yakitori thing that wasnt too good though.. and i think someone got high on the drinks... and it definitely wasn't me!
On a seperate account, we visited Nectarie Le' Dessert Patisserie after i finished work one dandy night... The cakes there is to die for!
I chose a white and dark chocolate mousse cake coated with chocolate fudged topped with a pretty gold leaf!
Ooooh! Delicious! I personally prefer the caramlised banana cake better, because there was crunchy bits added into the base of the cake to create texture, while the other reason is because i'm not much of a dark chocolate eater - have always preferred white chocolate alone.After i was done with the chocolate cakes, i couldnt taste my iced tea anymore. :S
The nectarie also serves savoury food, and being ravaneous as usual, i ordered a mushroom quiche, and the soup of the day - cream of mushroom, and also a roast beef sandwich! ( Since i was the hungry one, i walloped most of the food, while Ben mostly tasted. )
In short, it's a must visit place, the food there is made with tender loving care!
The soup of the day served, was not your typical commercialised "tin can" soup from campbells!
I heart soup that doesnt come out from tin cans! After all, why should i pay money for tinned cans soup while eating out, when i can achieve the same quality standard when i'm starving and stranded at home?
The quiche and roast beef sandwich were decent too, but in Ben's words, "you could tell that effort in the food from the way the onions were caramelised." Well i would not know (seeing that i am never one who spends much time in the kitchen, lest to even attempt to create caramelised onions?).
It was just a little disappointing that i did not get to taste their Tiramisu. *pouts*
Tiramisu is like my staple dessert la!

Audrey's turn!
Adi came up with this bright idea to bake Audrey a flower pot birthday cake!
Hahaha i must agree that it sounds like fun!
He was incharge of the cake bits, while i, became incharge of the decorating/flower bit!
My initial plan was to make a marzipan flower, which then evolved into a caramel flower, and lastly a paper flower.
What can i say? That I've always been more talented with paper mediums than cooking materials? Spending hours in the kitchen left me screaming in anguish, pain, cursing with impatience, and ending with lots of burned pots and scrubbing to do!
and the 2 paper flower ( Noo it's NOT an origami paper, mind you) took me 15mins to complete. -_-"

On a whim and fancy, Quacks and i ventured to a fish spa and got our legs nibbled..... by Fishes!
Eek!
I was ticklish, and squirmish at the start, and the fishes attacked my foot like there's no food tomorrow!
When i calmed down and started to relax, i had a ball of fish on each foot, but it was an interesting but expensive experience. $18 for 15mins of being fish food, because i refused to sign up the package! The stupid sales lady kept hackling on and on and on about the joys and perks of taking up the package. It was such an annoying experience (the lady, not the fishes), and it definitely killed the joys off being fish food. Gah! A second step of rebelling, i refuse to link up to their website, or recommend their store to anyone. However, if you MUST know, EMAIL ME and i shall let on.
Hot floral tea served at the fish spa place...
That's all for now.... geeky daph bades everyone farewell and continues to worry about her results....and continues to iron her never ending pile of clothes...
there's more in the store room - that pile captured is just 1/8 of what i intend to wear soon... :(
