I've just spent the past hour reading random blogs and going through my old, old facebook wall posts and am feeling particularly philosophical about life - what it's given me in the past and what it has in store for me in the future.

A few slightly disjointed thoughts:

  • It's confusing trying to read into everything that happens in your life and interpreting it as a 'sign' of some sort; Difficult to predict from these supposed 'signs' what lies ahead. And yet, without fail, everyone does exactly that every single day.

  • About soulmates: I always wonder if I will find mine, or if such a thing even exists. Recently 2 things I've read/heard regarding this very thing have been featuring constantly in my thoughts. One is what I read in a book that says that a soulmate doesn't have to be someone who remains in your life forever but instead comes into your life in your time of greatest need, to help you, and then leaves once his/her duty is done. The other is what someone told a friend who then told me: that there is not one, but many soulmates for any one person in this world - the key is to stop looking once you've found one soulmate.

  • It's interesting how everyone has different ideas of what the ultimate goal of their life should be - some say it's having a successful career and making lots of money; some say it's getting married and having a family; and some don't even look that far ahead but instead choose to live life once day at a time. I always wonder: What is MY ultimate goal in life?

  • I just straightened (well, to be accurate, I should say 'relaxed') my hair 1 week ago but can't help noticing what looks like the beginnings of a curl in one particular lock of hair... Meh. So much for having straight hair for a change.

A New Semester

I can't believe how quickly time is flying - it's bordering on freaky actually :s

Just 1 month ago, my holiday started and now here I am, back in Melbourne, with my second semester starting tomorrow. *gasp!* Too fast!!!

Part of me is excited at the gazillion possibilities that this new semester presents, but the other part of me is dreading all the things that could go wrong instead...

But then, I've thought about it. And I've decided that I'm only going to look at the good stuff - no point wasting my energy on anything bad. I'm not going to brood, grumble or curse anyone or anything this semester. I'm going to approach this semester with an open mind and an open heart and just see where it takes me. I'm going to enjoy myself, damnit! (And I'm also going to drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday... :s)

So we'll see how it goes... Hehe :)

For now, all I have to say is: Bring it on!!

tira miss u

A few days back Bel, Tasha and I tried our hand at making tiramisu. Wasn't too bad :p

Some pics here...


I baked the sponge layers the day before.



Caramelised the sugar and coated the almonds with it.



Us noobs furiously slathering the mascarpone on, around and in-between. It was melting fast in the KL heat :(



The aforementioned noobs (minus myself)



Slapping the caramelised almond bits on the sides.



The finished cake after we'd refrigerated it for about 5 hours.

Yummay :p


NOTE: I should mention that I ripped these photos off Annabel's facebook album :D
