A late post from Deepavali!
Didn't really have the mood and time to blog yesterday so i'm doing it today.
Finally had our family picnic on Monday. Yay.
Weather forecast predicted that it was going to rain.. It did! But we packed up just in time.
It was a long overdue picnic from eons ago. I'm so so happy that it finally happened!
Hahah.
Venue was ECP.
The food was great.. prepared by Mommy and Aunty Irene.
We ate, chatted, cycled, laughed, joked, lazed around, did every single fun thing.
Meng Zai wanted to tag along so we brought him.
I think he took the most pictures haha.
We spent most of our time people-watching. Rented bicycles and took off for a short ride.
Mommy wanted to learn how to ride a bike and so we taught her.. but we gave up in the end! She just couldn't balance.. we ended up laughing most of the time.
Uncle Joe found a set of toyota car keys. We couldn't return it cause there weren't any lost and found counters nor were there any park rangers around.
We came up with silly ideas of setting up our own lost and found counter; erecting a sign to announce the find; looking out for people who walked with their eyes glued to the ground; going around the car parks trying to open every toyota car etc etc. There just wasn't one practical idea so we gave up.
The thunder began to roll and the clouds gathered at approximately 2 plus. It was then we decided to pack up and go for coffee at Old Town White Coffee. With many hands and even more eyes, we gathered our belongings in a matter of minutes and went in search of our coffee. Old Town White Coffee's milk tea is niceeee. Mmmmmm....
It was already 5 when we got home. Tired but happy.
I loved Monday....

Looks maddeningly good right?
Ok, now look at how mine turned out.....
They look annoyingly different from the originals.
I've coerced my family into swallowing a few down. All are well so far. I suppose they look bad but taste agreeable.
The recipe states that it takes 30 minutes of preparation time and 10 minutes to bake. I took 2 hours and wasted 1 big bar of Cadbury chocolate, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the process. Then i finally realised that i couldn't follow instructions. Moronic! Yikes. Yet, I am contented for i have kept myself occupied on a friday night. Yay. At least, i have done something mildly productive and contributed to filling people's tummies and not the toilet bowls I hope.

Suspected monkey kidnappers are as follows:
You are advised to turn yourselves in. Those who are willing to cooperate will be let off with a light beating.
That incident aside, all was well and the night went on without further happenings. We went about setting routes for the mock comp on sat.. trying routes, modifying routes, then testing the routes again and until we get the thumbs up from Jups, our route is then approved. Our route setting endeavor ended roughly at 1030pm. It has been a long while since i've stayed in school till so late, makes me feel like i'm back in school again! Nevertheless, a few good girls and the nasty kidnap suspects made their way down to Sheares Hall for supper. Supper was a sitting-across-each-other-at-a-super-long-table-that-looked-like-it-could-fit-at-least-20-people-and-made-me-feel-like-we-were-camping affair. The food wasn't too bad i heard(and tasted). Spicy fried rice, some burger with nan as the outer covering, and the legendary chicken with an apple stuck up its ass from Sheares Hall that was topped with a generous amount of nacho cheese and accompanied by fries and cucumbers(that only sandra ate).

THURSDAY NIGHT'S AFTER THOUGHTS
I still think of sharing my fun with you.
