New template…again

I looked at this blog on a different computer the other day and noticed that the background and banner were misaligned – boo :( it happened again when I opened it in a different browser – boo again :(

Couldn’t. Be. Bothered. Reading. Through. Lines. And lines. of code….

So behold the chocolate template! From http://freetemplates.blogspot.com/

Yay! looks good
Yay! I love chocolate – so it is very fitting for me
Yay! no issues of any kind with the template.

Looking forward to...

Travelling!! :D in just over two weeks, I shall be heading up to Brisbane for the mid semester break. Not sure how much of a break it will be though cos I’ve may or may not have assessments due in the holidays, like during easter at the start of the year. We’ll see how that goes.

Also, at the end of November, am going to Malaysia for my cousin’s wedding :) yay! it’s been 7 years since I’ve been over there. Am eagerly awaiting the food!! Especially Roti!!!

Birthday!!!

Aside from the stressful week that was, last weekend was awesome, it was my birthday! It was a nice and simple celebration.

Dinner at Letoile
My sis and my birthdays are within a week of each other…with a few years difference of course :P Two weeks ago, before either of our birthdays, the four of us (my sisters, sister’s boyfriend and myself) had dinner out at Letoile in Paddington to mark the occasion. It was delicious :D

Here is a list of what we ordered;

• First course/Entrees: twice baked cheese soufflé, snails and duck terrine and salad whose name I can’t remember,


• Main: Mulloway with baby veg and red wine sauce and, confit duck with beans beef (can’t remember the cut) with roquefort sauce


• Desserts: apple tart tatin. crème brulee, strawberry bavarois, and a poached pear dish with chocolate sauce.

Before dessert we also got a shotglass filled with watermelon flavoured granita. It was very refreshing

I really didn’t need dessert as I was already so full, but it’s dessert! So I had to make room for it. Everyone got 3 courses :)

We also saw there…Manu!! It was very exciting; He kindly agreed to a photo with us at the end of our meal :D

We also had dinner at my sister’s on my actual birthday and last Sunday, we went out for a Thai dinner with my uncle as well. So, very food orientated, but that’s the way I like it :D

What is a birthday these days without cake? This year, I was spoilt rotten and got not one, not two, but THREE cakes!!



Hello Kitty cake!
This one from my sisters: I love Hello Kitty so it was awesome to get a Hello Kitty cake for my birthday!!! It was the lightest cake out of the three. Layered sponge cake with cream. There is also a layer of white chocolate underneath the strawberries.

This one was from my uncle. It was so rich! 8 layers of chocolate, caramel, biscuit goodness!! Just looking at it we all knew it was going to be a dense, rich cake! Very small slices were cut.

More chocolate cake! Chocolate cake layered with ganache. This one from my housemate, how good is ganache?

I also got a new bag . It’s real leather and comes with a rose decoration;My personal favourite part about this bag aside from the multitude of pockets held within is that there is a little strap inside with a clip that connects to your keys, I shall never have to scrounge around for my keys again!!

Hectic week

The week is finally over, 1 essay and 2 mid semester exams later! I finally have some ‘relax’ time, well sort of, no stressing over upcoming assessments anymore but there are still notes to type and lab reports to do. Tonight I will make up for some lost sleep, I shall go to bed early and wake up late, something I have been doing in reverse since the start of the week. lol

In other, more exciting news, it was my birthday on the weekend!!! :D:D recount coming soon :)
