I'm pretty slow in all my updates, so erm, i'll just write about the highlight of this week, the one thing that loisa has never done in her entire life --> Bake cookies!

Well we decided on monday late in the night, that we should start being homely people who actually can bake, expecially if we love food. If we want to eat, we should learn how to make it. Thus, the baking of COOKIES at jielong's house. Reason being, none of us have a proper oven.

Well we were erm, late in meeting up, as per usual... Haha

We picked out all the ingredients in pasir ris NTUC, zzzz nearly died trying to find the sugar and chocolate chips!! They were hidden from sight!!

At jielong's house, he realized he didn't have vanilla essence, so we kindly followed him out to a NEARBY SHOP to get it, since he looked so lonely. NEARBY indeed ehh?? FAKE-O!! It was super far!! AND it was raining as well! *slaps jielong*

Okay on to the action. It went something like this...

1. Eileen, Jia zhen, and Loisa staring at all the different recipes in eileen's camera (she took pictures of the recipes)
2. We decided on cookies.
3. Somehow through the mixing of ingredients, the camera switched off on its own, so we had to click to go back to that particular picture of the recipe.
4. Loisa reads out ingredients from picture 1.
5. Eileen reads out ingredients from picture 2.
6. Jielong reads out ingredients from picture 3.

End result--> The naming of the "product"

1. Cookies (initial product)
2. Pancakes (half way through the process, the cookies looked and tasted like plain pancakes)
3. Cupcakes (we decided to add flavor)
4. Muffins (we decided to add mass)
5. Scones (we realized they were too hard to be muffins)

So well erm, yyyeeeaaahh, we made scones. Don't ask. *lying through teeth* "We intended to make scones all along!!" Loisa proclaims to the world.

Ahhh and i realized I'm in love with jielong's mum! His dad is lucky and smart to have married her. She gave us dinner that night! We were sulking at the dining table, waiting for the SCONES to be ready so we could put chocolate on them, when she brought out some funny roti pancake dish thing, with mutton and gravy. One thing lead to another, and in the end, it was like a full meal!! Included were fish, some Indonesian vegetable (i don't know why jielong hates it), beans sprout, rice, crackers... We were smiling like idiots throughout the meal. Extremely happy kids we were!

MAMA MIA!

She's one cool super mum! She looks so young too! An absolutely sweet host! I will never understand how she can manage a whole family, help out at work, come home to make all these food, take care of husband and sons, a grandmother too... -faint- LOVE HER!!

THANK YOU AUNTIE!!! =)

Okay better not gush too much, or my own mum will be jealous!!
