a release of thoughts, ambitions and the occasional illustrious food item

high up there

delicate yet tempting you to just go CHOMP. What are these called again? Regardless of having a name or not, I love them.

Only among the night shadows was she released.

a wonderful cliche: converses in autumn

I wish I could receive a letter in a glass bottle, washed up on the shore.

Anyone up for a Wasabi Kit Kat? I kid you not. If this answers your question, the Japanese invented it.

As to boiling an egg, I never could get it quite right.

I do zhe gong fu.

If we are to grin, we must grin in a nonsensical mad fashion, as is delightfully pictured above. (courteousy of The Cheshire Cat)

Godiva Chocoalte Cheesecake - courteousy of the Cheesecake Factory

i have discovered a love for cheese =D (how random)

Camembert cheese is SOOO yummy. It's basically a round cheese that has a white and soft rind and is GOOEY on the inside. It's like cold melted cheese on the inside. It's sooo good with crackers or just randomly eating away with a spoon. TEEHEE. I love cheese now. I also love olives but that's another story.

CHEESE LOVE =D

gah.

I am sick. Actually, I don't think it was because of Eve's sneezing, rub-nosing, coughing, phlegming, sickness that makes me feel retarded. (also perfect timing for my piano exam this morning ==')

but GAH. I HATE BEING SICK. My throat feels weird, like there's sandpaper at the back and clogged up at the same time.

List of stuff I feel like drinking/eating:

- a really good MANGO SMOOTHIEEEEEEEEE, from Boost would be good. There dairy-free ones are so good because it's basically just mango nectar =D

- mango frappe with mango jelly

- A COLD MANGO

- green tea ice cream =D

- raw/smoked salmon

- lemon sorbet

- lemon meringue

- lemon cheesecake

- a cup of mango nectar with crushed ice

- honey lemon drink

You know what? I JUST WANT SOME MANGOSSSSSSSSSSS XD

parties = GORGE = fat

I have a serious love-hate relationship with parties. I love parties because well, hey, PARTY TIME. The fact that there is free food on offer, generally not the wholesome kind. For that very same reason, I hate them.

It's a strange thing conscience. It doesn't quite hit you after you've committed the greatest sin which today was eating:

- a slice of totally evil cake
- eating more than half the chocolate on offer
- eating a mini Crunchie
- drinking more than half a Sunkist
- drinking coconut milk
- watermelon slices even though i was REALLY full
- watching Anita's pigeon eat seeds and thinking YUM

When I walked back to the car, I thought I SHOULD NOT HAVE EATEN THAT AT ALL

So basically this proves my hypothesis to be quite true: Parties = gorge = fat
That's not to say Anita's party was not fun. It was. Despite the fact I only spent 1 and a half hours there, YOU ARE SO ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE AND FRANKLY YOU'RE QUITE COOL. =D

But anyway, my previous hypothesis brings me to yet another hypothesis presented by Eve on several occasions, shall we say, on a daily basis? "YOU'RE FAT"

You're totally right Eve

food - that thing

Today I went to ********* library and spent the whole time looking at recipe books. Honestly, I am so obsessed with examining the way oil glistens on a beef bok choy stir fry or the gloss of meringue. This is an unhealthy obsession. Before you know it, you find yourself in the kitchen eating food all day long. I was supposed to be in the library looking for books to borrow but I ended up borrowing about 5 recipe books. One was a book about cupcakes =D

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE. CUPCAKES.

I am the holy grail about all-about-cupcakes. Well, not really. You see, up until about a month ago, I had always found the idea of junk food a little disconcerting despite the fact that I eat it daily. The idea of eating fat and sugar disgusted me. Just think about it. Take 100g of saturated animal fat and mix it with sugar. Then as Eve wisely pointed out, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT DELICIOUSLY YUMMY CUPCAKE ICING IS MADE OUT OF. =='

How could I be so dumb? butter + sugar = fat + sugar = FATNESS YOU IDIOTHEAD

So there upon my soul was a revelation indeed. It never occurred to me that of all the things I did know about cupcakes, which is basically that they are yummyyyyyy and are made out of flour, eggs, sugar and butter, I DIDN'T REALISE THEY FIT INTO MY FATNESS CATEGORY which they do now.

So I spent a rather large portion of my day examining every laser-printed image of these glorious little fat-cakes. If I were to write out a list of all the cupcakes I was interested in eating, you might as well eat the book. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP

I have also come to be obsessed with lemon meringue. I have no idea why. I think I had a piece once in Year 7 or something when the cafateria was selling these mini ones. Anyway, I also spent time on taste.com searching pictures of FOOD
