Desolee!

Sorry! no time to update!! so busy!

Sneak Peek

Well, I have been counting down the days like some aimless person to 'THE DAY'(a few posts ago). I know its crazy and all, but I am just doing it for my own thrills sake!(aimless or what). Anyways..below are some sneak peek pictures before the eventual unravelling of the places secret identity.

Frozen coke and Mongolian beef and rice


Grass...

Wall carving


And after all that walking around the 'unidentified place'...a good indulgence at pancake house!

When a girl is bored

The first week of my winter break was practically slow moving...did very little.However ,starting from yesterday things have been full-on, and it feels good to be running around and doing productive things.

One such thing, productive or not... that I did was bake....nothing great, just made my own stuffing/filling for puff pastry and put it into the oven. I didnt want to use canned fruits, and I didnt want to just go plain chopped fruit, so I improvised with what ever fruit and ingridients there were at home!

Ingridients

We have above diced green apples(skinless), peeled navel oranges(hard outer skin removed), and cranberries

Cranberries with lime juice, vanilla essence,butter and cloves

Green apples with cinnamon(I added more cinnamon after this picture)

This is my orange filling envolope. I totaly forgot to take a picture of the oranges cooking. I added all spice and nutmeg to the oranges.

Ok and I am missing a picture of my cranberry rolls. The lack of documentation is caused by my lateness in baking because I wasnt free earlier in the day. I started only at 4.30, and was making them well into dinner time(about 7). So once they were ready I was too excited, and my family members and aunts friend were done with dinner so they attacked the pastry as they came out of the oven. So as I mentioned, I was on my feet till a little after everyone had dinner..so what I did was I put my dinner on a sheet of puff pastry and baked it as well since I was waiting anyways for the others.

Thus we have rice and meat stuffed pastry! it was awesome! the meat cooked further till it was a little crispy on the outside,the rice soaked up flavours from the meat,and coating it crispy buttery pastry! yummmo!!

My aunt's friend had bought a tub of greek youghurt, and that was an amazing combination with the sweet pastry. Can you imagine piping hot pastry with a nice dollop of cold youghurt on a cold night!? hmmmmmmmmm...............

Results

Update

I have to admit freedom is not productive in any way..and I am liking it!


So....exams ended on Friday, and it felt heaps good(although I have a deffered exam 3 weeks from now)








Then 3 of us zoomed of to the city and met up with another friend...and have I told you how adrenaline rush and lack of sleep mix up all together and just make u hyper?? I couldn't keep still..I was laughing,jumping,running and giggling and just talking rubbish! and I was not alone...so together the three newly free students were driving the one sain student crazy.

we had pancakes, found a cosy quaint bookshop, then we hit the arcade! it was awesome...just us four girls going bonkers in an empty arcade(it was close to 11 am) we were screaming in joy....shouting I'm gonnnnnnnaaa win!! eh cheating!!! Help me!!! throw throw!!, whack whack!!,step step!..then like little kiddies we collected our prizes....

Then we hopped unto a bus and had no choice but to keep our hyper-ness bottled up..and as soon as we got off the bus!.....it all came out! did I mention my prize was one of those toy bouncy balls.We began to run around the empty busway/station playing catch! can you imagine!??? we played till the ball went missing. Then we piled up into the car and headed home. Got home at 12 am, feeling more alive and hyper as ever...So I settled for a cuppa and watched Wimbledon!
(update: Sister Act in the finals? Fed vs Nadal?)

Sat we hit the city! a few friends and myself.My friends had to buy goodies to take home, and the sales were still on so it was quite fun to go have a look.








The main reason I went to the city besides hanging out, was to buy myself some designer shoes.. yup! me ! designer shoes.I would have never imagined it...but yup I got Kitson shoes for $199 $9. And who do I have to thank for this? none other than my kind chocolate-buying brother from a few posts before. He designed the shoe botiques website so they gave him a $150 voucher complimentary. He thought the men's shoes were way too gay so he gave it to me! I was going to opt for a $139 one...although I liked the $199 one....(I had looked up the shoes online before going to the shop) But God is good! they had a 20% on all items! so whopeee dooo da! I got the ones I liked..here they are......



Sunday was nothing short of awesome! ...went to church. But because Chris Hill, a speaker from America had come down service was a combined service with the other branches and held at the Brisbane convention centre. Great Worship, Awesome sermon, and we got a free CD! what more could you ask for?


Monday was nothing as planned,it was supposed to be a great day out with a good friend,but as usual! something had to go wrong....my eyes failed on me, and I was left no choice but to stay at home and revcover from my sore eye. BLeehh! ended up plonked in front of the tv the whole day watching squinting thru one eye.

This post is kind off outdated already..it was sitting under my drafts as I was too lazy to finish. I think I wrote it few days ago....and SO much has changed in these few days! not happy...supposed to be happy but I guess life is not always a bed or roses.
