Hobbies!

Started today morning with my P&C tutorial! (whee!) And I'm happy to say that I have completed half of it, considering that I usually wait till the last minute to complete them. :p

(ya lah ya lah, I bet the pros in 08S6C have already done tutorial 13 AND the supplementary exercises.)

By the way, I still dislike P&C. Heh. Old habits die hard.

Later, proceeded to carry out some cube maintenance... and *finally* give my cube a nice spa to reward it for having been very cooperative and friendly this week, when I brought it to school everyday.

Life has been tough on you, my cube, but at least you have a responsible and kind owner, right?

awww. Look at my cube's younger sibling innocently looking at the camera. :) How cute!

Process of cube spa:

1) Dismantling (or disrobing???) of cube

2) gentle exfoliation to remove cube dust with damp cloth

3) Moisturizing with a delightfully smooth spray of silicone lubricant

4) my mum stares in horror at my cube, asking "omg what did you do to your cube??!!"

5) Assembling cube!

Sounds really enticing huh. I wouldn't mind giving your cube the same spa treatments for $3 a session! (right. just kidding.)

My dad came back really early today, he was able to catch an early flight! =D

And I started to bake cookies at 8pm. The first batch actually came out smelling great but were ridiculously soft, so I baked them for another 10mins and ended up with huge coalesced lumps of jet-black soot. Very disappointing... and hard to clean. :P Well, we make mistakes in life in order to learn. :D

Wasted a whole load of cookie dough in the process! :(

My mum told me that cookies harden as you let them cool down outside the oven, so I heeded her advice (which did not come at an opportune time. should have asked her earlier, grrr I'm so silly) and ended up with some pretty nice cookies! Unfortunately, I forgot to use cookie parchment paper to line the tray, so the cookies were embarassingly stuck on the tray after baking.

*BLUSH*

I'm such a noob at baking!!! GAH. But I managed to salvage most of them in good condition with the help of a butter knife. =D Shall bake some more tomorrow!

Yep. Had a pretty nice chat with Yiting on msn today. Somehow I think that I have more to talk on msn. Is that bad? Or does it show my antisocial tendencies in real life?

And Jael, don't overthink things ok! =D Thanks for your adorable Garfield MMS. I liked it a lot, and it cheered me up after I saw my chao-da carbon cookies.
