school is so stressful and life is so busy but don't ask me why i'm wasting so much time blogging (not tt it's really a waste of time but it's kind of like a semi-waste of time if yknow what i mean) and baking gingerbreadmen that don't even turn out to be like men and get stuck to the damn plate!
i refuse to blog abt imcb so i shall just start off with training... it was pretty okay and the weather was nice and cooling so no more sun to add to my goldenbrown tan (yes i INSIST that it's golden brown and not mat or chindian or milo or whatever shit you call it) (and no it's not shit either) but coach had only hit one fly ball to me before it started pouring... so we went off to the exercise corner for the first time of our lives in rgs. or maybe first time in MY life in rgs. and tts where i realised i can't even do more than one pull-up without trying to stretch and lengthen my neck to as far as possible and scrunching my face up in all sorts of weird ways to try and get my head above the pole... sigh. Dear God, please give me strength.
yeah and lunch later was great as well... talked so much crap and we're all such softball maniacs! we keep talking abt softball 24/7 so we actually ran out of softball topics to talk abt.. haha we've almost reached the standard of the ri sec 4s! urm well standard as in softball-maniacness of course... not the sport itself >.< i HAVE to stop walking past haagen daaz ice cream parlours and stopping and walking in and buying cones of strawberry cheesecake ice-cream! it just tastes so heavenly but so sinful. sigh.
so yeah this morning struggled and forced myself out of bed to go to my neighbour's house (mingwei the stingray!) to bake gingerbreadmen. oh and seema the prima(donna) came too! seema's not a prima donna i'm just trying to rhyme. yeah and we were supposed to add molasses but since stingray didnt have molasses and her honey had lime juice in it for some weird reason, we decided to add chocolate syrup instead :) so it was like 1 whole cup of chocolate syrup plus all the other spices and stuff... the batter turned out pretty good but when it came to the actual baking.. let's just say it was more like making black coloured ornaments.
so actually we made all these nicely shaped gingerbreadmen and seema made all lil spiral thingy and we were all so pleased with ourselves when suddenly the wonderful aroma of baking gingerbreadmen suddenly turned into horrible whiffs of burnt gingerbreadmen. at that moment of realisation, our world came crashing down as we realised that the fruit of our sweat and toil had amounted to nothing (well actually more like men-shaped charcoal). so stingray quickly rushed over to the smoking oven and opened it and tadaa! the entire oven caught fire! then we started screaming and panicking and we wanted to like drown the oven before mingwei finally had the sense to close the oven door so that there would not be any oxygen to keep the fire burning. haha. talk abt daughters of a better age... i feel so ashamed.
then we took out the bits of urm "charcoal" and it actually looked quite cool! so then we went back to shaping more cookies and i actually made some nice pig-shaped cookies and seema made a nice lil cow and we put coffee chocolate beans on the gingerbeadmen! so everything looked so nice and pretty until we stuck them in the microwave... the entire plate was just filled with the mess of cookie dough thingy so our poor lil pigs and cows and men were all gone :( OH and the worst thing is we forgot to grease the plate which we put into the microwave! so when i went to church i had to muster all the strength i could to FORCE the cookies off the plate for them to eat it >.<
haha stingray maybe next time we should try it at my house perhaps it'll work out better eh? and besides, this was just an e-x-p-e-r-i-m-e-n-t haha yah right just trying to comfort myself. but at least we had ben&jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for breakfast so it was all worth it :) argh my scrapbook is staring back at me with the iceberg-that-sunk-the-titanic look so i'd better get back to it.
