Bridesmaid

Had an expiring coupon for Cineplex, so off to see Bridesmaids Jason and I go. Had some cake beforehand as the movie starts some hours after school.


Recipe from mom's coworker.

It looks particularly thin, mainly because I did not realize that the standard baking pan is 9x13", and not 8x11". Made it a pain to spread the layers out, especially as I only made half the amount of blueberry topping. I also decided to hand whip the cream, which makes for reaaaally good exercise. Like creaming butter, it's actually quite a nice feeling having to focus on only one thing.

Om nom nom

This boy is crazy picky haha <3

Anyways, onto the movie.

I actually didn't even watch the trailer before, picked it solely on friend's recommendation haha. And the fact that this menswear blog that I follow featured the film's costume designer. Must say that Annie (main girl) and Helen (main girl's rival) looked perfect, especially helen's hair T_T"

Overall it was pretty entertaining, lots of "wtf" moments haha. Plot was alright, didn't tug so much at your emotions, then again it's a comedy XD
Bridesmaid is worth at least a torrent :]

victorious secret

Had lots of fun participating in City Mosaic yesterday :]



CM is like a smaller scale, more observation based version of The Amazing Race located in Toronto. This year, the neighbourhoods visited were Greek Town (got authentic yogurt and a deeeeeelicious gyro), Central Downtown, Queen St. West (def will revisit!), Queen's Park, and North York (hometurf represeeeent).

My team, Victorious Secret, CM id A14, got sixth place! ^^ Pretty good considering there were 100 teams, though more than half got disqualified cause they were late.


Prizes were 4 movie tickets and 2 BOGO50% laser tag passes.
(It was terribly cold sitting in those seats in the morning, thankfully Jason was smarter and wore a hoodie with pockets :])

There's three different type of activities at each location.
First is to find the checkpoint and get a stamp. Second consist of finding answers to a booklet of questions.

The page for Queen St. West. The clues were mostly about each store's logo or window display. Some were really hard to spot @_@"

Lastly, there's the photo challenge, in which you snap a picture of the given clue.

With the "poet" of Queen's Park :]


Inside the bronze mouth at North York. I never knew this statue existed before o_o"


At the "three different type of lights" in front of the Air Canada Center.

After the race, we headed over to Nick's birthday party. Bouncing was also soooo much fun, shame we were uber late and only got to bounce for 5 minutes @_@ I'm so sore from that and CM haha.

Came back to North York for dinner, in which we wasted so much time finding a place to eat. Ended up at St. Louis, which barely fit all 18 of us e_e" The waitress wasn't the nicest either. Was soooo tired by then (sat down at around 10:30, got up in the morning at 7) that if it wasn't for the artificially tasting grapefruit juice, I would have fallen asleep.

english is sent innnnn. yuhhhh.
might post it later, turned out to like my dialog very much XD

k off to bed for waking up at 7 tmrw for city mosaic e_e go victorious secret!

岁月流转了各自的成与败

时间弄皱了记忆
^really wanted to use that as the title too @_@

Not being tired scares me more than being tired annoys me.
wait maybe not.

Opening to a tv drama that my dad watched. It would be really nice if people are like what the lyrics describe :]


风吹散 乱世中的尘埃
我们相遇在英雄的年代
一样不灭的情怀 沉默的期盼
岁月流转了各自的成与败

云舒展 黎明前的光线
我们却站在 相望的彼岸
一起吞下酒的暖 舔过剑的寒
分了天涯 你和我各走一半

同样是 灿烂的繁星 也有不同的轨迹
落在哪里 你我都是好兄弟
就算这一次远去 相隔千里
我们的心 还会再一次靠近

从此后行走的天地 又多了一份孤寂
请别忘记你 是我的好兄弟
时间弄皱了记忆 荒草萋萋
回眼望去 是我们洒过泪的土地

从此后行走的天地 又多了一份孤寂
请别忘记你 是我的好兄弟
时间弄皱了记忆 荒草萋萋
回眼望去 是我们洒过泪的土地

I wanna be pro and predict people's moves in a game of chess!
(in context: the drama was about spying)

WANNNNNT:

[link] $100 T_T

Though this four leaf clover lariat is perhaps a more realistic choice. Everything in that etsy shop is a wannnnt.

I should find a job again, next year XD

utias con't

Tonight's dinner:


Noodles, the easiest and fastest thing to make. Still haven't mastered cooking the noodles e_e it's more difficult than pasta by magnitudes! The sauce is dead simple though, doesn't seem to taste bad no matter what I throw in it. Today's mix highlights three types of powdered peppercorn, sesame paste, and miso. And of course soy sauce ;D

I have not made my own food for a long long while (this explains the lack of a weekly brunch post). Have not had motivation to do much for a while haha. This makes me scared of living on my own for university e_e how will I maintain a healthy diet!

Onto the main topic. For once I kept my promise of posting up photos (still not done gritaly's lololol).

Group shot #1:

We sat on those chairs for like...6 hours @__@" What a long day haha. Ended up skipping the closing ceremony for msn and cardplaying ;P
Note the paper model behind Jin, he made that at 3am. The presentation got done at 12. We're such procrastinators.

The milky way!

From a planetarium presentation the previous day (friday). It was pretty cool, though the panning makes me dizzy e_e"

A frame for a really important telescope:

specially which important telescope I forget. But it's made from carbon nanotubes, exoticcc.

Playing with liquid nitrogen:


Lastly, intense posing with our presentation board:

Does it not look beautiful? :'] Creds to Joyce and Alice for their amazing art major skills.

*0.7

Finally went shopping again! Have not set foot in eaton since like...March e_e"
Original plan was to go with David, Jason and Janice, but due to various circumstances it ended up being just Jason and I, this counts as...second official date? Iuno, too many different ways to count. Hehe <3

Anyways, bounty of the day:

Yeah they're all white. I like me white shirts very much >D

Button-up shirt and coin purse from H&M.
White tee (hard to see) from Bluenotes (only $5!)
Checkered PJ shorts from Aerie.
White tunic from Vero Moda (I had another shirt that looks almost exactly the same, though dunno where that went. Also replacement for my other white dress, possibly also bought from vero moda in China).

I discovered that Jason's really picky about cloth haha. He finally found a black&white plaid shirt though. T'was a fun, and very tiring day.
