You're a doppelganger!

Went to wonderland yesterday! Main reason is for Tony's birthday, but motives also includes Jine's post ss&pre korea celebration, my last day of fun before 2 weeks of waking up at 7 and david's courage boost :]

Highlight: timberwolf falls.
I shall let the photo do the talking.

BAAAAAAAAAAAM. (click for fullview)

They went on the ride fairly early in the day, got COMPLETELY soaked. Also rained in the afternoon, so no one really dried off at all. Alex brought a change of 3 shirts, all 3 ended up completely wet ;D


Group photo after behemoth :]
A little ahard to tell, but we were all drenched xD (this post is a challenge to see how many different variations of wet I can come up with).

annnnd to end it all off, the ride itself

in David's words: "holy mother of jesus....fuuuuuuuu"

你能多看我一眼

Played Cranium today at Aprils, hilarious party game ;D

Haven't posted a cpop mv in a loooong time, here's a non Jay Chou one for a change.



阳光越过窗沿 我在阴影里面
才过正午13点 就漆黑一片
没有人看得见 我心深处的阴暗面

只能眺望东边 你的世界太远
撑到想象的极限 幸福有多甜
可黑夜已吞噬我 就是拉不到你的手

因为我活在西界 只拥有半个白天
一到午后夜色就蔓延
虽然和你面对面 却看不到我的脸
感觉到你不安的视线
在西界的那一边 只能有半个白天
暗自祈祷上天的垂怜
在长夜的边缘 给我一丝光线
让你能多看我一眼

Went to see Inception yesterday with people, and in David's words: "totally mind fucked by inception >.>" Di Caprio's assistant in the movie, Authur, is so cute <3

After the movie, the people and I sat at wendy's for a long long while trying to figure the movie out. Alex trying to figure out how they managed to escape at the end, Nick trying to confuse everyone, David about the guns (omg military!), and myself about how the architect is determined. In the end, we agreed that the briefcase is magical. "You have to belieeeeeeve"

moving on :]

(insert roy saying the soundtrack is by daft punk!)

Most. Stunning. Looking. Graphics. Eveeeeeeeeeeeeer.

brunch: bean stir fry in a tortilla

I can't call it a burrito cause it's....it's not mexican at all o_o

Loosely based on Simple Dollar's Breakfast Burrito, here's how I made it (serves 2+leftovers for lunch):

Chop&sautee an medium onion with some oil until your prefered level of doneness (mine was caramalized). While the onion is cooking, prep the tomato and other veggies, anything works here. I've used green pepper and celery. Just make sure to chop them up in equal sized pieces. When the onions are done, add garlic(chopped), the tomatoes and the beans. A note about the beans, if they're canned, drain them; if they're dried...soak them AT LEAST overnight and boil them for AT LEAST an hour (I learned this the hard way). Cook for a while (sorry no better estimates here) and add the remaining veggies. While that cooks, beat 2 eggs (one per person served) with some salt. When the veggies are ALMOST done, add in the eggs and stir frequently to bind everything together. Season with whatever you want, I used chili powder, soy sauce, some more salt, and lots and lots of black pepper. Finally, serve on a tortilla and bed of baby spinach (or any other veggies that can be eaten raw).

Also made some Blueberry and Peach Clobber. (I loveee smitten kitchen, the photos are gorgeous and the blog is so pretty *u*)
No photos cause I ate it too fast "orz It was a coincidence that I just happen to have all the ingredients on hand :]

Lastly, last week's

We had guests over so I tried to be fancy ._.

In and Outs #3

IN
Look who's here for a visit again!

(clicky on all the images for full res)

MUSTARD AND HONEY! I've been good and not calling Mustard Clover.
Darn they've grown from their last visit eh? They were adorable, what happened! (I kid haha, they still are) This time they're here for a longer stay, sigh, more cage cleaning haha.

N'awwwwwwww *u*

Gritaly Excitement!
I think at this point in time, I'm more excited about packing for the trip than the actual trip. This is totally one big fat excuse for shopping XD Perfect reason to buy the Urban Decay Naked palette (funny thing: temptila's review for it ranks higher than the actual product page on google)! I'll wait a bit for that though, instead I've got a recycled&retractable ecotools kabuki brush (think I'll be linking to reviews from now on). It is the soooooftest synthetic ever! *u*Also picked up a NYC blushable cream stick. Face = the best canvas ever.


OUT
The murderous weather, please? I guess this is nature's way of balancing out the cooler summer last year. My air con makes the most terrifying noise (similar to any machine breaking down), so I'm barely surviving in tanks+shorts.

Braces, please? *insert laughter and mocking from friends*
Last visit to the dentist resulted in good and bad. Good that I no longer need to wear elastics and the composite was drilled away (don't want a drill in my mouth again, it's not the worst of feelings, but e___e). Bad that well, the braces itself won't be coming off in a long while, lucky it'll be gone by gr 11 summer. WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO TEETH?

bits&pieces

dump from my bookmark toolbar:

1)LHC Sound Library
I might have a bias towards LHC (can't wait until they publish stuff in plain english *u*), but this is just so cool.

2)Gundam!

"Freedom Gundam" - 4 Foot Papercraft from Taras Lesko on Vimeo.

This is dedication.

3)Castle, medieval style.
I shall assume that my interest in this is a sign that I made the right choice to pursue being a civil engineer.

4)Immortal Robots!
They'll be the ones to take over the world instead of rubber ducks. I wonder how the real Bina feels about the robot, isn't it one bit creepy that there's this self aware robot that looks like you, knows your memories, behaves (to the best of it's ability) like you? But then again, we're just a mass of cells o_o

the adventures revolving around shepherd's pie

This was me and Grace's 3rd attempt at eating shepherd's pie.

1st time: grade 8 zero day. Forgot why we decided to walk into a random food court and randomly order shepherd's pie. But mannnn, that was some good pie *u* We don't even remember what it tastes like, but it's goooood.

2nd time: Went on a weekend in grade 9, but unfortunately it was closed T_T

this time: We have been planning this since last year haha, never got a chance until yesterday.

Subway down to downtown we go, with a (very long) detour at Lush. The sales lady was super nice, which a) guilt customers into purchasing b) make them want to come back. Needless to say, I ended up buying another mask (mini story: this is my second time going to Lush with the intention of buying Cupcake, and second time walking away with a different mask) and Grace bought a emotibomb. The sales lady even gave us some free samples without us asking ;D

Stopped at some other stores before finally making our way to Helena's Magical Kitchen (St. Patrick's station, near the AGO). We got all giddy while standing in line, who wouldn't with such nice owners+good smelling food. But....buuuuuuuut they sold out of shepherd's pie "orz
*insert big big disappointment*
but it's alright, the meat pie I got tasted great too. It's just that...sighhhh. All this (and previous) effort and they sell out? SIGHHH.

Spent the rest of the afternoon seesawing in a nearby park and then later at this adorable cafe beside the AGO. Despite my love for video games/computers/internet/msn, it was really nice to just sit somewhere and have a long chat with friends :] Why can't we go out for picnics instead of play brawl/halo?

4th time: soon. I will be extremely sad if I don't end up eating it ;_;
