i keep comin' back everytime i leave
i baked cupcakes yesterday.
for my first attempt... let's just say i'm glad they look like cupcakes, even if some of them have burnt tops, my mother has assured me that it is purely the oven's fault because it is slightly old and therefore has dementia. i followed Nigella's instructions exactly so it no be mai fault! the website's not working properly right now so if anyone wants the recipe i've got in .doc form.
it's quite idiot-proof, actually. and rather fuss-free. that means minimal washing up! :)
they taste better than they look. really! just ask my brother. he ate almost half the batch yesterday and finished the rest today. -_-
since i've bought enough flour for 8 batches, my family can expect to be eating ALOT of cupcakes this summer. XD
Naz linked me to a leak of Jesse McCartney's new album - Departure. head on down to
losertunesto dload it, or i'll just give you the link here since i hosted it for her (long story).
Jesse McCartney - Departure
it's really not as bad as people think it is just because it's Jesse. in fact, it's so edgy that i'm surprised, cos he's always been like the typical sweet pop-ish kind of singer? but i'm not complaining. i like the album. :) i've been a fan since his first album, which i actually own. and i think he's prettier than Zac Efron. so there. :P
been watching alot of stuff lately instead of reading like i should (bad me), but i've decided to convert to a SYTYCD fan. this is partly the fault of AMI7. why? because in Idol Gives Back, David C was paired with Lacey Schwimmer (David Schwimmer's cousin) in one of the performances, which sparked Lix's interest in finding out more about her potential love rival, and Cliffton showed us Lacey SYTYCD videos in the GSR when we were supposed to be studying. so that got me interested in the show, and i've been watching clips of Lacey and Danny Tidwell since. there is only one word to describe Danny - GUH. XD yes, i is manhunter. *sticks tongue out* but honestly, the dancers on the show are so mindblowing. they make me feel like learning dancing, though for the safety of the general public i won't. don't worry! ;) apparently SYTYCD4 will air the day after AMI7 ends, so i think i shall be following that.
which brings the toll of tv shows XT is following/will follow to:
1. Super Trio Show (currently)
2. Strictly Come Dancing: HNTV-TVB version (currently)
3. American Idol 7 (currently)
4. Forensic Heroes II (may 19)
5. SYTYCD4 (may 22/23)
conclusion? no tv, no life. :D
oh yes. i has good news. i have apparently lost weight since term ended, which is weird because i haven't exercised since... i can't even remember the last time i did. i finally got my bum to the gym yesterday evening (only because i promised Dad i would :P) and because i was pressed for time (baking/washing up took longer than expected), i could only do a quick round on the big machine thingy (i honestly have no idea what it's called) - the one that has various weights and pulleys and you can do a variety of muscle stretches/lifts/bench presses etc on, and then i did about 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. i actually wasn't tired after the 20mins but i was horribly bored and it was nearing dinnertime, so i stopped and went back up. but i weighed myself before i left and if the weighing scale is not lying, i'm supposed to be 41.8kg. O________o i think it's lying. :( the last time i weighed myself (again, i forget when) i was like, 42/43+. but okay, i shall just believe the numbers to make myself happy. i've decided that exercise alone isn't going to help me lose weight so i'm going to cut down on what i eat and snack on from now. i'll just have 1 full meal a day and eat light for the rest. i will not stop eating entirely - that's insane. i'm just going to stop gorging myself, c'est tout! :) although i gave in and had 1.5 pratas for brekkie this morning. -_-
i didn't exercise today cos i was feeling lazy (so much for sticking to an exercise plan, ey) and i was watching youtube anyway. :P and my legs hurt a tiny bit. darn it, i'm getting old. ;_; i promise to do 200 crunchers before i go to bed tonight. mom wants to drag me shopping tomorrow... should i count that as exercise? XD ah well. we'll just see how it goes.

breakyourhands, ARE YOU FREE THIS THURSDAY? it's for the long-awaited outing which i'm supposed to organise! think of somewhere to go stuff our faces with okay! :D
United vs West Ham tonight. i have a bad feeling about this - WHU are like, our bogey team. D; we lost to them in the last game of last season, and they've already beaten us once this season. they are not to be taken lightly, and yet we need the points so in order to win the title. :( i'm worried. Vidic is still out due to his concussion (Drogba, i'm still going to kill you) but Evra should start, according to various sources. O_O i hope his cheek is fine - he was kneed badly against Barca. :( *sighs*
oops. this entry turned out longer than i expected.
i'm hungry. :/
