mandarin (;

food always draws people's attention to a post. trust me. i'm one of those people.

hmm, so i figured i've been all doom and gloom lately and its not a good thing.

so anything, i'll spruce up the gloom and doom-ness of my blog by posting photos of kenneth's surprise birthday party we held for him last night.

vin and i (and by extention, ivan) were bizzy bizzy making desserts for his party (and the pasta as well though there's nothing special bout pasta so am not gonna bother posting any photos of pasta) and the chosen dessert of the day was.. jelly!

it takes so much trouble and highly-trained ninja skills (vin got that down right, teehee) to make jelly shots WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF JIEN.

that and the majority of fri and sat afternoon.

yea, we three looked like slightly psycho ppl half an hour prior to the party coz we were bizzy bizzy prepping the party like getting the layout of the foods and drinks, arranging the living room, etc. done while jien pretty-fied herself for her boi.

not that she didn't do anything! she vacuumed the kitchen (and forced us all not to wear kitchen slippars and gave us all frostbite on our poor feetses *sobs*) and stuff like baking her boy's birthday cake, but since its HER PARTY FOR HER BOY, she HAS to look AWESOME while we just need to look decently dressed (ie, no pjs and all those other horrendous stuffs we were wearing while prepping her stuff) so it was up to us to boil soup for the steamboat, arrange the food on tables, and all those other last day prior-to-party-prepping stuffs expected.

i realise i'm rambling =(
but i shall attribute that to my ridiculous study plan that isn't going at all like followed and has kinda messed up my mind in the process.




our spiked jelly creations with plenty of whipped cream (;
best party food ever. trust me on that. teehee. plus they look fabulous, thanks to me and mama-vin.


it looks fabulous, doesn't it? I KNOW IT DOES, admit it.
orange jelly in oranges and shotglasses and icecube trays, it's GENIUS.

ohmygawd, remind me nvr to blog again when i've been studying too many hours. it somehow adds to my narcissism, hahahaa.

jien's 3rd attempt at a birthday cake for her boy. it finally turned out, whee, am so proud of her! =D

*recipe for this fab-cake can be found on strawbunny shelf, my sister's wonderful bake-blog*

kenneth being all (genuinely) surprised at his surprise party


a giant turn-out!

(slightly pre-)birthday boy and brother, justin.

and *one, two, three..* AWWW to the birthday boy thanking his hostess of the night

anyway, HAPPY (EARLY) BIRTHDAY KENNETH! =D

well, that's it.
gotta study again now.

thanks to all those who are trying to make me feel happier prior to exams and i WILL try to be ! but if u know me (and i bet the readers of this blog do) i always get all grouchy and down-in-the-dumps prior to exams, i'll be ok soon ! after the 13th ! and yes, yina, after that i'll be BUSY PLANNING FOR MY WINTER BREAK, YAY!!

oh, and big thanks to mamavin for helping me out with my comm banking, me loves! i kidnapped the printer, fyi.

teehee

may the force be with kenneth,
cheers~
