Just a thought.... Know how certain things are classed a 'she' or very seldom a 'he'.. like... a country is always a 'she', or a plane... every wonder what sex ur laptop or computer is ????

A simple survey was conducted.

The boy's group decided that ''computer'' should definitely be of the feminine gender, because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is impossible to understand for everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval;
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The girl's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine, because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem;
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

So is your pc... a he or a she???

Egg Tarts... all about egg tarts... They might not taste as good as the ones u get from some famous bakery in Singapore... but at least we can say we made them ourselves... Right from the first cup of flour to the last egg we cracked and by jings did we crack a lot of eggs. haha... Egg tart making day was set for friday the 23rd of March so Angeline, Jeremy and I set off to get the ingredients for the tarts in the afternoon... Took us ages to find everything we need.. had to buy flour, plenty of eggs, etc.. soon we realised we did have anything to bake the egg tarts in so went to Debehams and bought a muffin tray haha... got everything except VANILLA EXTRACT.. cant believe none of the shops we went to sold vanilla extract.. Angeline had to go back with Jeremy to get dinner started, she invited more ppl over for dinner that night... so I marched along Argyl Street, Buchanan Street and god knows what other streets looking for vanilla extract but to no avil... On my way back bumped into Mubina and she is a god sent.. she had some!! wheeee~~~ so we back to Angeline's place... which by now was nearly dark.. so egg tarts aside first we had to get dinner started.... ooo we made mango salad.. yums.. Thai Mango Salad.. it was sooo good.. hehe....


Angeline does not believe in eating vegetables so I had to bring some over from my place and fry them myself (: see that plate of greens.. ya thats my kailan haha....

Right... our moment... The making of Egg tarts.... btw we only started making them like 11 o'clock at night believe it or not haha.. the others started playing majong while Angeline, Jeremy, Sean and I slaved away in the kitchen. Egg tarts are made up of 2 components (duh!) the tart and the filling.. haha so we decided to split into 2 'teams' .. the dough team and the filling team (time for another duh!).. Jeremy and I were in charge of making the tart part and U get the idea... ahha...

Teams busy in action haha....

My fellow 'team mate' Jeremy, moulding the dough into the tray.. this was the hardest part among everything else... had to make sure that it was not too thick or too thin.. took a lot of effort...

Now its time to fill them up with the eggy mixture...

And into the oven they go.....


And *drum roll please* haha.... Our very own egg tarts.. I know they dont look much.. hehe... they were our first batch.. they got better as we made more.. promise.... We made like 4 batches!! (:

See told u they looked better as we made more hehe... Well after spending the whole night making egg tarts and playing majong...

We headed out for breakfast!!... my first macdonald's breakfast in the UK haha... and still I order the same as what I would when I am in Singapore.. Sausage McMufin... u can never go wrong with sausage McMuffin....

Only thing missing was my chilli sauce.. sobz sobz.. haha.. oh well...

So, that's it... Egg tarts.. Not too hard to make (:

Recieved an email from Auntie Agnes with the pictures from my dad's birthday. Since I ate all the pineapple tarts my mom sent (which she made herself..) and did not take a picture of them cos they were gone in an instant.. I thought this would do just fine as well =)

My dad turned 57 a few days ago, on the 1st of March to be exact haha (u're not shy abt ur age are u *winkz* we all know u are old) March has always been a busy month.. so many birthdays. My dad's, Auntie Josie's, Alistair's, Auntie Liz and Uncle Robert. Went to Clinton (card shop) and took me ages to choose cards for everyone. Dont like sending the same ones to everyone and choosing one already takes me ages, try choosing for 5 ..not that I am complaining... =) walking up and down deciding.. was spoilt for choices...




Auntie Betty from Edinburgh is in Singapore right now till wed.. wish I was there to show her round the area like how she shows me around when I go across to visit her... Mom and dad will be taking her, Auntie Liz, Uncle Tony and Jon out for a meal tmr =) I'm really missing out being here... sobz

Its been bucketing these few days.. heard its the same in Singapore isnt it?
The weather really reflects the mood u are in doesnt it.. Always hoping for a brighter tomorrow..

The sun will come out, tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow, there'll be sun
Jus' thinkin' about, tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow'til there's none
When I'm stuck with the day that's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say,
The sun will come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may...
Tomorrow, tomorrowI love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away

Pray for the sun tomorrow....
