now that my friend is chemistry!

“the feel of her hand has never left me. it was different from any other hand i’d ever held, different from any touch i’ve ever known. it was merely the small, warm hand of a twelve-year-old girl, yet those five fingers and that palm were like a display case crammed full of everything i wanted to know- and everything i had to know. by taking my hand, she showed me what these things were. that within the real world, a place like this existed. in the space of those ten seconds i became a tiny bird, fluttering into the air, the wind rushing by. from high in the sky i could see a scene far away. it was so far off i couldn’t make it out clearly, yet something was there, and i knew that someday i would travel to that place. this revelation made me catch my breath and made my chest tremble.”

happy 冬至!!

you know i'm always on the lookout for inexpensive good food *or maybe just jap food ^ ^* but really most of the time it's the same standard fare if we dine anywhere in town these days mostly franchises...anyways 2 decent food places to recommend (that's teochew porridge above) shin yeh @ the newly done up liang court! there's also a Vietnamese cafe which i must try on a decent afternoon for their coffee drip n this other jap restaurant on the 1st floor that garnered quite a crowd when i was there.. and the other is near my workplace ~ old hong kong kitchen @ square2! dim sum and cantonese dishes yummie


seriously i had no idea dong zhi is on dec 22 i always had this notion it's near cny (oh i think that's yuanxiao!!)...our ingenious way of eating the little glutinous balls is with a salty soup base!! it's deeeeeeelicious! see all the ingredients? basically it's boiled with chicken and roast pork to get the flavour but we get chunks of innards like gizzards in it too! haaa ok some of you may disagree >___T

my aunt's famous durian cake with durian puffs decor!! looks like roses eh?

clearing my leave!

had to clear leave all of a sudden and i was stuck@home for the whole week! but did boh liao stuff so i ended up more tired than i shld have been +__+

some overdue photos in my hp...tessa! when we met up with sly and jo still owes me the group photo lor

woohoo dinner @wah lok thks sly for emailing us all the way from london=]

haha my little cousin..she looks like she's got a smirk on her face!!!


before & after
wah! not easy lor this css grrr nearly killed myself doing this...what i do is really low-tech coz i usually google for what i like copy and paste them on the original template (i'm not writing the whole thing myself duh) the rest is basically running through the entire html script to fine tune it so that it appears exactly the way i want AND since i forgot to write a thesis on javascript it's alot of trial and error which is tedious work!!! plus it cld look nice on 1 browser and ugly on another but this is what it looks like from firefox@home so i'm contented *bliss*...ryan you have lotsa time to start on yours now since it's school hols ya hee
