Food, food and more food

Over the holidays, my sister came back and went on a food making spree.


First up, was a not so quite nice batch of cupcakes. The white stuff on top are melted marshmallows.

Next up is, is pancakes. Damn these were good.


Pancakes and honey. A good way to start a day.


Followed by, bread.......... Okay, I have to be quite honest here. I didn't like it at all. It didn't taste like bread. If I have had eaten cardboard before, that would be how it tasted. And it was dry and flaky. Makes you appreciate the bread from the bakery.


Here's the best part, for my mums' birthday. My sister cooked the entire meal. With my help... sort of....

For the entree,

Mushroom soup. Slightly bitter, but really nice. Not a tin to boot. Made from real mushrooms, and other ingredients. Toped with some cream and a sprinkle of chives.

For the main course,



Seafood spaghetti using angle's hair and carbonara sauce. This was simply exquisite. Wipes drool of the keyboard


For dessert,

Mango and dragonfruit served with a scoop of ice-cream and Kit-Kat.


What is a birthday without a birthday cake. Chocolate cake.

Why go spending a 100 buck on a fancy dinner, when you can have one at home?

And that concludes the birthday saga.

Anyway, on Friday we made sushi!! By we, I mean my sister only.

First off, you need one of these. A sushi making kit. My mum got while she was traveling. Wahahahahaha.


It has everything you need. From an instruction manual, to the rice needed, to the mat needed to roll them up, to the seaweed and the wasabi. They even give you soy sauce!

Oh wait I forgot the vinegar needed for the rice.


So here's the sushi.










Yum....

Now, one of my personal favorites is cookies!!


Not just any cookies, GIANT cookies.

They were, as I would call it 'fluffy'

Now, second chance. Cupcake making time again. And this time it was really good.



I think I gained weight this holiday.

Ja-ne!!

Church Camp '09

Over the raya holidays, I went over to Damai Puri for a church camp. It was an eye opener. We had this speaker all the way from America. Mark Geppert. I think that's how you spell it



Anyway, I headed down after doing some raya visiting. Waited for a while for our room to be cleaned. And we actually were late. Luckily, we only had to wait for 20 minutes, or so. Some people actually waited for an hour plus!


The room.


Name tag, and booklet.

Our theme for this years camp was 'Rekindle the Fire'.

There was a lot of people.

I mean a lot.

Anyway, after a filling dinner I headed over to a hall, for some praise & worship.



And after that, was one of four talks by our speaker.



During the camp, I also helped out in the children's camp. I was mostly helping out with the notebook and projector.







Some of the other helpers.


Some smartass, use a glass instead of a cereal bowl.



The next day, we had two talks, and on the second one we had to pray for our church pastors.








So later in the afternoon, we nearly had the whole afternoon to ourselves, I went from the..



Beach, to the


pool, to the


beach again, and to the pool again.




Books!!


Where am I?




Hah! skipping talks


Got sign you still wanna stand there.



We had a fancy dress night on the last night.

Me likey this picture.


Meet Dr. Anne......


And Pastor Gabriel.


Don't forget the snake.

Ja-ne!!

Batik.....????

Last week my school Art Club, held an exhibition. You know the usual paintings and models and stuff.....blahblahblah

However, somebody in the club had a great idea to let the students, do theirs own batik painting. So you pay Rm3 for a small frame and RM10 for a larger one. They provide the cloth, the paint, and the wax. But the later finer processes of batik making is not done, since it take about 8 hours to do it.

This is them doing the frame. With the cloth.


This is the wax they use.


This is my name. Thanks to whoever did this.


This is what it looks like after paint has been added.


Nice no?? I did it........................ yeah right. Thanks to Melissa who helped me paint this and did a great job.
