facebook memories
hello, i just woke up to find a cockroach in my room, from which i, in all honesty, jumped back and ran to get my slippers. but it was mummy who, in the end, caught it bare-handed.
now i'm eating a 满月 cake from 姑姑, which was baked by her mother-in-law, and which tasted very nice. which means i still have many things unlearnt. oh and last sunday i tried hsien sheng's cheesecake, which was actually quite nice (and not made from philadelphia cream cheese) with the clever addition of cranberries! i think even sonya would approve.
it's been a long week of many things and i'm so tired, but my body naturally wakes itself up after six hours of insufficient sleep; but i choose to take it that my body is asking me to bake. so this weekend i'm having another shot at shortbread, and then i'm going to do chocolate chocolate chip cookies, wholemeal bread, and maybe a no-bake cherry cheesecake.
this week i had my first ride in the armour vehicle and it broke down. still, i think it's exciting to have home-baked cookies and stuff on board the vehicle during field camp.
and this week we celebrated sunshine's birthday with the alien cake i baked on sunday. they got him a kaleidoscope, something which i've never seen before, and something which is so pretty. like the lava lamp, it must not be looked at too often, otherwise it'll lose its charm.
last tuesday's night-out was spent at the library. i decided to focus a little on cooking simple meals, and that cannot exclude borrowing nigella bites. i'm really into the idea that we should cook our own food that we can be happy eating, and not settle for junk fast-food (and that, of course, includes baked goods.)
yes, it's only been a week, but a very long week. indeed, it feels like eons since i was back home, and i expect it's going to feel longer after the field camp in two weeks. but i have a pleasant change at home: the baking oven has become a permanent fixture in the kitchen, instead of being kept in the storeroom waiting to be called out into service; now it sit on the kitchen table, in place of the toaster oven, and the toaster oven now sits on top of it.
though an exciting day lies ahead, i must talk about the magical night before. that was when i looked up into the sky to see a gibbous moon, with a contrail stretched across the sky close to it. and then when i looked up five minutes later, another contrail was forming near the moon, across the sky, as a plane flew past. it looked like a falling star leaving a blazing trail in its wake, and it's amusing that planes should fly just close enough so that the moon would illuminate their tracks on the, otherwise, empty sky.
enjoy the new blog song! i hear a lot of jaejoong in it.
