amidst all that hype about bird flu, i didn't realise how hard it has hit us until today, when i really needed an egg.

Me Cindy and Shanny went happily to shop for cookie mix and cheese cake mix(for the next day's class breakfast), and happily went to Cindy's house to make the cookies. Then we happily poured the cookie powder into a bowl, added butter, then, it said in the instructions: "add 1 egg" and we realised Cindy's house ran out of eggs, so we had to go NTUC at Coronation. And to our horror, the racks were empty! and i mean really empty clean swept empty. so we ran to the bubble tea shop (dont ask me why), the popiah shop, the new Wadever cake shop to ask, all don have! we walked out and was about to give up when we decided to give the chicken rice stall a last try, and yepp, after getting weird stares from the customers and chicken rice uncle, we paid 40cents for an egg (more like daylight robbery in my opinion). So that was my egg-venture. (ok the egg-venture=adventure thing was quite lame).

So that settles the cookie. Then while preparing the cheese cake mix, we realised we dont have cold fresh milk! With our innovative mind we substituted it with ice milo we made ourselves. So, in the end we had milo cheesecake, which was brown instead of the usual yellow.

i surprised my momma with a birthday cake today. i came home with this fruity cake and my momma was in the kitchen cooking so i quickly asked me brother to stash it somewhere in his room. well he cleverly stuffed the entire box of cake into his cupboard in between his clothes. and it was there the whole time while we ate dinner and pretended we forgot her birthday.

after that when she was in the kitchen doing the dishes we scurried to get the cake and find a lighter and quickly set everything up on the dining table and went back to watching tv to act normal. and when my mom came out of the kitchen she was like "woah!". ha i bet she thought we forgot her birthday or sth. Yeaps she liked it alright, and i gave her some cookie i made which was chao-tah cus i put it in the microwave oven too long.


so that was how i spent one day baking. while the rest of my class was probably mugging for prelims at home. well done, chunli.
