like a trisha

last sunday i had dessert with weiyang, just before we were booking in. we were dreaming of our far away ORD; it's like i'm half way down the mrt line, but he's only one-third down.

on one of the nights off i had dinner with guanwei, weijie, guohao, kenneth and jinquan at new york new york. we were talking so much about going out into the world to explore everything...

on wednesday i made some cut-out cookies, from the leftover dough i stashed into the freezer when i made the rainy-day biscuits two weeks ago. i happened to find two very cute cookie cutters, and decided to make those shapes...
these are so tiny, so cute, they should be called petite cuties/cookies.

on friday i did a sentry guard duty with jinquan. omg we were left at some god-forsaken place to rot and be eaten by mosquitoes. they were truly godlike. anyway, we were talking about games that had some form of binary/ternary counting basis.

and yesterday i made my first french toast: nigella's doughnut french toast! i was surprised how just one slice soaks up the whole of one egg.i didn't have real vanilla, just the artificial essence, so although the french toast had a really nice vanillary smell, there was a blackness in the taste because of the essence...
this was real quick, just twenty minutes of soaking, frying, dredging in sugar, and i was done. since i didn't have strawberries, and a blender to blitz the stuff, i used some jam for substitute. still works perfect. (takes only five minutes to finish eating.)

i also finished visiting the biennale exhibits. here are some photos to inspire your wonder.
and two songs from joey's new album:


presto su, mario! mario! su presto andiam! su! su! mario! mario!
