# 20 - Chocolate Hazelnut Cake (My Mum Bakes)

Hey y'all! Time really flies! It's been 2 weeks since my holidays started and I, unlike many of my peers have accomplished only a fair bit. I don't have anything planned out to do during the holidays even though I did mention that I wanted to find a job. I took the first step of opening up Classifieds and looking through to find a job that might interest me but..nothing. I know many people would say that you would never find out if you like the job unless you try or just take up any job to gain the experience and if you don't like it, then you know that this is one of the thousands of jobs that would not fit me. I like that positive thinking but at the end of the day, I think that doing what I love to do would make me want to get out of bed and quickly start work. Yes, many factors fall in place and so does many different reasons to why I should take up any job but I don't want to be striving at work. So, that was just a piece that I had to pen down which maybe (just maybe) wasted 1 min of your time. HA.

My Mum Bakes! strikes again. This time, she made a chocolate hazelnut cake that amazingly didn't require flour but just oil and hazelnuts. (of course chocolates...) Again, I want to say that I edited the photos BEFORE I realised that someone had already taken up the name XFOCUS so, therefore, I don't intend to infringe any copyright!

They were delicious and I really love the texture of it because it was both soft and moist! Just like a piece of brownie :) yumz. Sigh, what to do, my mum is so talented and she feeds me with good stuff until I'm this big. *looks at sad tummy with 1 family pack* HAHAHA #blessed

So whilst I'm typing up this post, I'm waiting for the darn video to load. I'm currently on a My Princess marathon because SSH is just tooooo *puppy eyes* *starry eyed*. I realised that my biases (kinda weird to type this) are WAAAAAY older. LOL 

IF you have nothing to do, (like me lol) I recommend to watch this KDrama because it touches on issues like the old vs new and politics. Not only that, I think the character types are interesting because of the r/s and conflicting feelings. ALSO, A LOT OF SUBTEXT therefore thinking about what the characters say and feel goes through my mind a lot. Thanks to theatre teachings. HAHA Have fun watching!

As always,

Thanks for reading, x.

# 19 - Ahoy! (My Mum Bakes)

A while back, my mum made some really delicious Fisherman's Pie for dinner. It was the best, as always :) It had a layer of cheese on the top and the pie was mixed with a cream base. The filling consisted of potato, ham, egg and black pepper. The most important ingredient was literally, FISH! (DUH)

On another note, I just found out that someone else has already taken up 'XFOCUS Photography' after I edited the photos. Silly. Anyway, I shifted my 'portfolio' to http://xfocusbyjoywe.wordpress.com/ so you can just view the photos there! Or, you can click the links on the side >>>

As usual,

Thanks for reading, x.

Hey! Surprise, surprise. I'm blogging after 2 days. (You'll hear your set of 4 numbers on the radio soon. jk.)
I recently shopped with my brother at Uniqlo and bought this jacket that is reversible! How cool is that! Both sides offers different styling options and not only that, they each serve a purpose be it cool or warm, I'm covered. This jacket was totally an unplanned purchase but I was glad that I got it ;) As usual, photos!

#17 - Me, You, Them.

Hey! I'm baaaaack :) (and guess who is on a month long break?? meeeee.)

A month long break = I-will-do-the-things-that-I-wanted-to-do-but-never-got-the-chance-to-because-of-classes. (phew that's a mouthful. I challenge you to say that 3 times fast. If you manage to do it, I will...)

So, the very first thing I did once my semester ended was to have a STEAMBOAT PARTY! Oh man, it was a good few hours spent with a couple of mates filled with laughter and homely food. Lovely, ain't it :) So, let's get on with the pictures! (y'know you want to see it. deeep down.) (am I annoying you with the brackets)(?) (no)(.)

We chilled for a bit while doing up the cards for Kerencia and Boon Hui. Look at how hardworking we are with all the art and crafts materials. Artist mess.

At about 4.20pm, we started prepping for the steamboat like putting them on plates, boiling the hot water etc.

Housewife material right there. Anyone interested, drop me an email. (just kiddin'.) HAHA But on a serious note, she prepped all the food. Wash, cut, peel etc all her.

We prepped everything and waited for at least 1/2 an hour before the rest of the crew arrived and we started feasting! Look at how blessed we were! Prawns, taupok, mushrooms, CHEESE MEATBALLS (oh they were the bomb diggity), crabstick, CHEESE TOFU and more. All for 6 people and we couldn't finish lol.

Concept : Bunny pulling the carrot out.

After the feast when all of us were too full, we played Charades using the app. Oh it was so fun!! HAHAHA Samiah took a video which I've yet to see which reminds me that I need to get it. We cleaned up and brought the game to the room where we played other games as well :)

Then, in the midst of the games, I sneaked away to take out the cake and called them out saying " hey guys come out, I got something to show you. " Aaaaaand we sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I believed they were pleasantly surprised. Anj, Celestine and Samiah got them the birthday cake and the perfumes! The cake was really good so just in case you're thinking of what to have for dessert, go to Four Leaves and try their Royal Cheese Cake/ Strawberry Shortcake!

 (Birthday girls with their presents and cake)

So, after the cake, we went outside to take more photos and wanted have fun with sparklers. However, I was disappointed because our lighter didn't work. SIGHHHH SUPER SPOILER. T.T So, we took photos instead which lifted our mood because 'crazy' took over. I believed we made A LOT of noise but thank God no one chased us away heh.

(oh, hello. You made it this far. Remember the challenge I made earlier on and hinted a prize for it? Well, here's my prize!!)

(b)(r)(a)(c)(k)(e)(t)(s) CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! YOU HAVE UNLOCKED A LIFE ACHIEVEMENT OF READING SOMETHING 3 TIMES FAST EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE IT BEFORE. EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T, IT'S OKAY. YOU DID IT. A FOR EFFORT.   (b)(r)(a)(c)(k)(e)(t)(s)

please don't leave. You've made it this far, why not read on yeah? #pls

** So, each of us took 'crazy' shots but to protect my friend's image, I shall not post it here. For those who love looking at people who look funny, well you can 'enjoy' mine as I dig up a hole and bury myself away from the world. goodbye **

I had a lovely time and I wanna thank these 5 people you see up there in the gif for being so kind throughout the semester :) Cheers to another!
