My First Ever Halloween (2010)

This is like wayyyyy overdue. I was surfing STOMP, waiting for Fash Mob pics to go live and started back-tracking albums and found a photo of Paul and myself from Halloween 2010!

I WAS… SHUTTLECOCK GIRL!

…By the end of the night everyone was calling me shuttlecock girl, badminton lady, mickey (cos of my leggings). The name really stuck so I used it for saturday’s mob. You might have already seen photos of me in JUICE & Rhythm tho.

Last year was the first time I actually did anything on Halloween. And of course, where else could I have gone to but Butter. Afterall, Bobby & Ritz are known for throwing crazy parties, even more so for Halloween!

I had tons of fun that night, albeit getting poked by the shuttlecocks and making very inconvenient bathroom visits. Guess I’ll let the photos speak for themselves!

Ben was supposed to be the human spaghetti but no one knows where his costume went. I wonder if it even existed. Both he and Dave ended up as well, clowns. The face paints were mad crazy that night! (I had fake lashes on for the first time in my life, and removing them later really hurt!)

That’s Paul below. He always “bullies” me when he sees me even tho I’m older. Thank god the shuttlecocks served as a little deterrent that night… And that’s Vanessa with the keyring I made her for her birthday! :)

The night ended with supper with the guys from ACTYOAGE. Ming gave me those bunny ears but I have no idea where I put them since….

Well, that’s my first ever halloween for you. Way overdue but I hope it brought some amusement nonetheless. I’m waiting for more photos from Fash Mob before I blog about it… And I have loads of exciting stuff lined up for you girls this year! =) ♥ jean

A Week into 2011.

( Hard Rock Cafe on NYE 2010 )

A whole week has passed, and yes I still feel somewhat “stuck” in 2010. I don’t know what it is but some part of me still feels really unsettled. A week into 2011, I’m still trying to sink into the reality that I have to wake up and work and that the festivities are long over. No more parties and late nights. Come to think of it, I didn’t even club in December due to the passing of my aunt, and I don’t intend to be very much of a party animal this year… There’s just too much I need to achieve this year.

I’ve been hooked on movies in bed the past week, especially nights when I simply can’t fall asleep. On impulse I signed up for a 3 months subscription with Megavideo, only to realise it’s pretty tough to find full movies… Maybe I just have weird movie picks.

Was going through my stuff and found my braided headbands… I went out like this yesterday and went my dad saw me it’s as if he didn’t recognise me. Is it that bad? It kinda gives me a headache tho, like my blood supply is getting cut off or something. I have weird issues.

And if you’ve realised, I haven’t posted much updates on customisations I’ve done in the past month… cos…. I put them all on Facebook! I’m using a new page to organise the product albums, the previous group page had photos lumped altogether into one album… This one’s way neater!

I try to update items daily once they’re done, so go check it out! You’ll see new stuff I’m working on like this little fella! He’s already found a home with my neighbour Gen :)

I’m home on a Friday night, how grand. Figured I should stay in and get some work and blogging done instead of partying with a threatening sore throat. I had way too much Ruffles the other day. The things you enjoy aren’t always worth it! :/

Later ya’ll.. ♥ jean

 

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes ♥

Pancakes are absolute ♥ for breakfast or brunch. They’re really easy to make with ready pancake mixes you can grab off the shelf, but if you’re bored of the plain old pancakes, experiment and add fruits or even chocolate into the mix!

I recently experimented with apple and cinnamon! Had the photos on facebook which sparked some interest, so I’ll try to share my kitchen adventures more! =)

I diced the apples and cut a couple wedges for garnish sake. I simmered the apples for about 10-15 in a mix of orange juice, raw sugar and cinnamon powder. I use ground cinnamon powder instead of the actual spice so it’s less overpowering.

If you want your apples crunchy, cook them less. If you like them softer, boil  them until they get soft. I don’t really follow measurements to the tee when I cook, so just use your instincts! Cooking is all about trial and error!

Follow the mixing proportions on the box, but if you like thicker pancakes, use a little more flour. Once the apples are cooked, add them to the mix. You can save the reduction for later. (It makes a really yummy toffee like candy if you leave it to harden!)

That’s pretty much it, I’m sure you girls already know how to fry pancakes… You’ll end up with something this!

I like extra butter and tons of pancake syrup on mine. You can also add mashed or sliced bananas if apple doesn’t quite entice… I’m thinking blueberry pancakes too pretty soon…

If you like ice cream, the caramelized apples would make an awesome topping! Which reminds me, I should probably make more apple crumble soon. It was a winner during the Christmas festivities!

Bon Appétit! ♥

When I see your face, it’s like sunlight dripping.

Bag Raider’s “Shooting Stars” has always been one of my favourites since Ben let me listen to it like over a year ago. Although most of their other songs don’t really give me the same “kick” as Shooting Stars does, “Sunlight” is really fast growing on me. Here’s a page from my “little brown book of thoughts in ink”.

Hold tight at midnight. Am I dreaming or are you beaming out? Are you beaming out? Like light, Snow White, red fluorescence, iridescence now. Are you beaming out?

Don’t you know that when I see your face,
It’s like sunlight dripping.

I ♥ the MV for this. The chimp is really adorable! This is gonna be my feel good song for quite a while I reckon.

Hope everyone is having a great start to 2011. I’m still trying to get organised and switched back to work mode. My mind is still stuck somewhere in 2010, which reminds me, something really really queer happened on NYE. I’ll leave that for later tho… Hope ya’ll will enjoy the song as much as I do. I’ve had it on loop most of the day…
