Before


After

There aren't any photos of the entire apple crumble after it was removed from the oven because I was too excited and forgot. But a chunk of apple crumble with a dollop of vanilla ice cream is infinitely better. This is actually the second time I am making this. The first time (which was yesterday) I followed the recipe to a tee and my teeth started to ache when I bit into it because it was too sweet. Also my dad complained that when he ate it he "went into shock".

I kind of die a little bit inside when I look at one of these and realise that my planned timetable won't allow for it. WHY MUST ALL THE COOL MODULES BE ON TUESDAYS?

Also other things to take into consideration include:
(1) Is a cool module worth waking up at 6am for?
(2) Is a cool module worth going to school on Fridays for?

I used to think (2) was like some inviolable principle that could never be, uh, violated. But thinking back it's like, I didn't do anything on Fridays anyway. Except sleep. And not study. I think. So maybe I should rethink that.

I've been reading P&P&Z (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, that is) and it's rather amusing. Although quite weird (which is to be expected of course). The Bennet sisters are supposedly Shaolin-trained warriors who are fighting against the zombie invasion. Zombies are funny.

Although I think the sisters are a bit crazy actually. Remember the part where Mr Collins first came to dinner and made the mistake of asking Mrs Bennet which of the Bennet sisters was responsible for the fine dinner? In P&P&Z when he asked that question:

Mary grabbed her fork and leapt from her chair onto the table. Lydia, who was seated nearest her, grabbed her ankle before she could dive at Mr Collins and, presumably, stab him about the head and neck for such an insult.

They are completely nuts please. Especially Elizabeth. When Jane got the letter from Miss Bingley saying how they wouldn't be back for the winter and by-the-way-my-brother-is-so-going-to-marry-Miss-Darcy Elizabeth was all, "Your honour demands she be slain." Cos you know, the warrior code. She wanted to kill Darcy also. Lol. Speaking of Darcy, he says weird things. Like, "I find that balls are much more enjoyable when they cease to remain private." Yes the innuendo is completely intentional.

ZOMG CHARLOTTE IS TURNING INTO A ZOMBIE

But he's still cute!

Today my eight and ten-year old cousins came over to play. My kid brother was trashing the eight-year old at Lego chess while the rest of us lounged about decapitating the knights and pawns. At some point this happy game of chess segued into Monkey. (Aside: I have no idea why I am surrounded by people who play Monkey at the oddest times - PROM, for instance.)

Since my older brother is now this towering monster whose fingers can nearly reach the ceiling when he stretches upwards, and practically fills the room when he spreads his arms open (... it is a small room >_>), we decide it is a little unfair to the runty eight-year old boy. So my brother sits down on a chair (the type with the wheels!) and announces that the Monkey has to play sitting down, feet off the ground. Naturally this makes the game much more exciting for all of us, since we now have to watch for our toes, and the Monkey has to sort of propel himself forward using his torso. My older brother quickly regrets this new gameplay:

"It feels like water polo!"
"That makes you a polo boy! Except you're on a wheelchair! So that makes you polio boy!"

SO CUTE PLZ HAHAHAHA.

Ladies and gentlemen (Are there even any reading this?), may I have your attention please! I present to you the fantastic, the amazing, the one and only......VOICE of the MRT. Would you give a big hand (typing this phrase seems very weird) to Juanita Melson!



I don't know why The Voice is giving her views on Singlish for the first half though. Also I think they play the recording of The Voice way too loudly on the train.

Yay Google Streetview is finally out in Singapore! I just spent half an hour checking out random places of interest like my house and my (old) school. Unfortunately they didn't map Sentosa. I guess the Sentosa Cove residents paid them off :D

Now I shall go and play Maple on a private server and be happy.
