Today was funn... I don't know why, but it was just funn... But before I talk about today, let's talk about yesterday where I was DAMN busy!!!

WEDNESDAY
Things to do:

1. Buy materials for Thursday's Design class
2. Take ID photo for Taiwan visa
3. Buy Dad's hair gel
4. Go to random photocopy shop on the streets to bind Design project booklet
5. Make PowerPoint presentation on Pop Design
6. Study for Maths test: Business Application of Arithmetic

Not to mention that I had to all of these things AFTER 4:00pm, which is the time when I will be dismissed from Uniprep. I reached home, printed out my booklet, had a super quick dinner which left me nauseous, then quickly left for Puri Mall.

I had everything planned out in order to not waste any time. Who knows what time the photocopy shop will close? Must hurry. So I went to M Studio first, took the photo, was told to wait for 20 minutes, where I bought Dad's hair gel in Guardian, went to Gramedia and bought materials, then finally back to M Studio, and got my super ugly ID photo.

Seriously it was so ugly! If only ID photos can be photoshopped. The problem with the photo is my Super BIG face! I think my face is twice the size of any normal human being. It's seriously biiiggg and wideee and chubby. =( Looking at my ID photo stressed me out so I put it away quickly.

I left for the photocopy shop. My driver found a random one by the streets. It was pretty good. Finally, the booklet was done! I went back home, reached there at a little before 8:00pm. Showered, then got to work. I planned my time again.

8:00pm. I can do my PowerPoint in two hours. Then it'll be 10:00pm, and then I have another 2 hours to study for Maths until 12:00am. So I did as planned. I even finished earlier than expected.

Damn crazy. Lucky I can plan my time well. These days I've been having only an average of 6 hours of sleep every day. Sometimes 5 hours. When I'm lucky and college doesn't start at 8:00am, I get more hours of sleep. I don't know why but since I enrolled in Uniprep, I've been sleeping really late even though it's weekdays. Back in BBS... sleep at 10:00pm... max 11:00pm.

BACK TO THURSDAY

Okay so today I had to go to Uniprep at 8:00am even though it starts at 9:00am. Why? Long story. Point is I was lonely sitting around in the Design Studio all by myself doing...? STUDYING for Maths. Again. I'm so diligent.

-Design Lecture-
...
...
...

-Maths Class-
Test time... I don't know, I felt I could do it, but... When we discussed it after the test... Not so sure about my marks anymore. But to hell with it! Maths test is over! My worries are over!

For lunch break, we went to Pacific Place to eat at Pancious again yummm. But since a plate of pasta is too big for myself and I had no one to share it with, I ordered something new: Pancake Bolognaise.

Don't order it. Trust me. You can check out my mobile blog to see its pic.


We were late by half an hour to the Design Studio class. But we hardly did anything anyway. I was far from inspired and I didn't draw ANY, ANY new sketches! Omg. Ma'am brought with her a whole pile of materials and an electronic Styrofoam cutter, so we ended up playing around with that.

Alyssa made heart pins!

And the coolest of all, look what Aly made!!!

A super emo tree. Cool eh? Then I suggested to paste a heart there to make it seem like a fruit. Livia did all the pasting. Then I took the pic! Credits, credits! Hahaha. Sorry for the price tag there ;p

She also made this:

A & L for Alyssa and her boyfriend whose name I'm not sure how to write out. Lawrence? I think that's how it goes? I cut out that funny-looking guy's face.

At the end of the day, our tables and floor is completely littered with pyrofoam (is that what it's called?). But it was fun :)

Oh and and anddd, tomorrow is FRIDAAAY!!! YAAAAAAYY!!!

Before you start, maybe you can read this post along with this very fun song I recently found:

Switch on the TV on Channel 22! It's time foooor...

xP Yes lame I know, but I'm bored. One week holiday =D

Stay tuned!

Our location today is... my kitchen! (I'll try not to mess that up)



This is the pancake mix I used. Brand new!




Step 1: I measured 1 cup of pancake mix and poured them into a larger basin/bowl.

Step 2: Measured 3/4 cup of water. To the basin/bowl it goes!

Step 3: Using a long wooden spoon, I mixed them until they are even, smooth, and nice-looking. Look at that! Makes you want to taste it, don't it? :D

Step 4: To make my cooking easier, I poured the mix back into the measuring thingy. It is easier to use this to pour into the frying pan rather than using that big bowl/basin. Less spillage risk.

Step 5: Place butter on the frying pan and spread it around till it melts! Well, I put too much here...

Step 6: The mix goes! Make sure it's not too little, or the pancake will break easily later (I speak from experience, you will see).

Step 7: After a while, I flipped the pancake. But it became...like this...!!!

Step 8: I flipped it one more time! More destruction!

Step 9: By now I was convinced my frying pan was too small, so I transferred the pancake into a bigger one... But Alas!

Step 10: However distasteful it looks, it is a chef's job to try out the food. So I did, being the great chef I am.

Evaluation
Okay maybe it wasn't that great. It tastes a bit salty (?). Maybe too much butter? I learned from this mistake, threw that piece of yuck away, and started anew.

Step 5b: Butter. Less this time.

Step 6b: Looking good so far. Time to flip!

Step 7b: Better than before, but... Why does it look like an egg? Let's let it fry a little longer.

Step 8b: My first pancake (not including the one I threw away) done! I place it on a big plate. Reminds you of Roti Prata?

Step 6c: My second pancake. Hopes this turns out better. I put in more mix into it so it's thicker. Bubbles appear this time! (And so what does that mean?)


Step 7c: I was doing something else, and I forgot to flip the pancake! When I did, ...

Yet another disgusting sight.

Step 5d: My final pancake! This time, to avoid overcooking like the previous pancake, I checked the bottom of the pancake frequently by simply lifting it up using a slim butter knife to avoid tearing.

Step 6d: Flipped.

It actually looks like a decent pancake! Happy, I piled it up above the other two pancakes.

Step 11: I took out my maple syrup.

Step 12: Poured it. Just enough, I can add more later.


Step 13: And lastly, I served! I was getting excited.

Step 14: Getting ready to have my first bite. As I took this picture though, I realised I used the wrong utensil. It's supposed to be fork with knife, not fork with...spoon. But whatever, right? ;)

Step 15: The tasting.

It was horrible. HORRIBLE!

The taste is...is...like I'm eating flour! Flour!!!

It is simply disgusting I tell you. After finishing one and a quarter pancake, I raised the white flag. I am not.eating.this.crap.anymore.

I totally lost my appetite man. I didn't even feel like eating for lunch anymore. The weird...salty...buttery...flour-y taste remained stuck to my throat, and I felt sick. I even had a slight tummy ache after that. Mygod. I'm food poisoning myself now. Way to go, Vina.
