t(-.-t)

this week, i've finished reading the phantom of the opera. if i'm going to read another old, unread book, i think it'll probably be wuthering heights. likewise, i never understood/finished that book because i tried reading it when i was too young.

i've also been involved in some serious body contact training, and my neck is hurting like fuck. i cannot look up. and imagine being slammed to the ground again and again. and getting your wrist twisted again and again. there is seriously only one word to describe it: fuck.

(to date, only fifteen posts on glass-shoe have the f word.)

still, i feel that i'm being watched over; glory company - until now - is not as 凶 as they all said it would be.

on other news, i spent my first night-out away from home yesterday, simply because i went home on the three previous days. i went to the jurong library with jinquan and discovered for the first time that the 11B card can be used to borrow books!

i have decided to move my baking scope onto breakfast stuff, so i'm on to quick breads and yeast breads. amongst my library books is the acclaimed dough by richard bertinet - the one that sonya recommended too!

as i learn about baking bread, i shall write more about the science behind that yeasty thing. by the way, i borrowed a book entirely on the science of baking - the chemistry, physics and biology behind the transformation of flour, eggs, sugar, etc. into a baked good.

this is so exciting, i'm going to start my journey on yeast breads with nigella's norwegian cinnamon buns. this baking project is for 姑姑, who gave birth to my new cousin last week!
