Back to baking...

Managed to steal some time to bake today. Was rather keen on dropping by zara to expense the voucher..but alas.. the downpour sorta made the decision for me. Banana walnut muffins this time round. All thks to vegan babe for her recipe. Did some modification to it - olive oil instead of butter =) well..i guess i was trying hard to work on a skinny banana walnut muffin.

Results were pretty impressive. Total yield - 30 muffins. Will chug some along to work tmr to feed the team.

Saturday's cycling was a lot of fun, but the bruises are definitely an eyesore...arghh..

Spending that little quality time..

Post exams once more.. Finally!
Felt rather relieved that 8 papers are down. 2 more to go..

Caught up with Xianwei yst after the paper. It must have been 1 year since we caught up. Always nice to chat abt the good ole days in school. Roamed abt from orchard to vivo and then to the east, hoping to catch a glimpse of 'Hydrosapiens' - Arts fest closing performance. Sadly, parking spaces weren't on our side. we gave up. Cheesecake indulgence was nxt on the list.. hah!

Today's brunch session at mimolette was lovely with the 2 ladies - Jean and ouiyoung. The last time we caught up was at robertson, chattering abt ok's date et al. And now she's seeing him! Sweet!

Think i sorta overbooked myself on a sunday.. rushed back and drove the other girls out! was a lil tired initially, but it was good fun to be with the cuzzies. Dessert at dempsey, arcade session and dinner at bishan park!

And now, some time for myself.... before the week starts. Gonna hit the gym tmr

Serena's wedding..

My virgin attempt at being bridesmaid took place yst. Kinda fun and heart warming to see your fellow gf dress up for her big day. The chatter by relatives, kids squealing with excitement at the sight of the bride and not forgetting the lil red packets they get.

Weddings never fail to bring your peers together. The OG united once again, but not full force. Guess we'll all try to make another meet up when ivan returns and before brian leaves. We've all been frens for close to a decade! Amazing..

Am sure we'll work on our 1 Decade anniversary nxt year. Mark ur calendars everyone!

So... the next terror is Corporate finance. I'm getting eeky... closed book exam this time round. drats..

Its all getting surreal...

The 7th paper passed in a mere 3 hrs. Felt a lil weird after the paper. Mixed feelings of relief, uncertainty, tiredness and happiness. The oreo frappucino did help release some endorphins.

Traversed the streets of orchard with shaune..caught up with jason and shaune's bunch of frens. Interestingly, all of us have quite a few mutual friends. Met up twinnie and her fellow khakis as well.. miss the days of running with her. Can't wait for number 8 to be over. Life just needs to get more normal..

Alright..will decide again if i need a couple more letters...

Indeed i was expecting complaints and rants about the usage of chinese characters..

the buddy protested. the classmate gave up on the interpretation.

will stick to this then.... but will spring a surprise or two sometime again. hehe

i vowed nt to take caffeine.. but had to. damn it. semi-comatose state forced the weak mind to the kitchen for a cup of 2-in 1 kopi-o. nvr tot i would resort to it... grrr.. well anyhw the caffeine's good. keeps me awake. i'm officially drugged. 2 weeks.. and i promise to be off caffeine. kills my complexion totally.

need some fresh air soon. the post-torture schedule's already somewhat in place...before the next leg of the run begin. i'm seriously losing it..

难以解释

不时, 会发问自己这一切是否值得。
许多人都觉得这是一种折磨 ,也许吧。
可能心里是有那么一点的不肯定, 或许吧。

独步回途的路程感触许多, 可能是在忙碌中所需要的偷闲
但是,我们又和能停下步伐,来尝试了解这些感触呢

可能这就是忙碌于乏味之间的困扰。。。

Procrastination or Time management...?

Suffered major over the past few evenings on the assignment. Probably the worst i've encountered thus far. Am glad that merv got back and managed to jump on it. phew.. the week started with extreme caffeine intoxication. never really into coffee..
was left with not much choice. the torture lasted for 3 days. Wed evening to fri..

Glad that i managed a run on sat morning.. was rather drained..but needed a run badly to release some endorphins.

Now..the equity assignment to tackle. I can't imagine the CF exam...
