Citi Forex Challenge!

31 October 2009

It was on freaking Halloween! Hence my non-existent Halloween celebrations last year.
Anyway I had a bad experience in 2008...

So, Citi Forex Challenge!

It was held at Millenia Walk last year (not sure about the previous years).



The usual team- Jasmine, Kai Ting, Lian Bei and me!
(I have the whitest hand as pointed out by Jasmine, LOL)



That's not us, but where the action is!



OMG! All of us got in!
(I think our teacher wasn't very happy about me and Lian Bei getting in, cuz we're not TOP TRADERS...)



YEAYEAYEA! Happy!
Oh BTW I wore a t-shirt, shorts and slippers cos it'd only be like 10 minutes if I didn't get in... and then I had to hang around for hours in MW in that attire.

Class photo!



Wrong team-mates, but because of the height problem we have to pose like that!



Free lunch!



That's us in the finals!
Spot me spot me hehehe.



Mr Cheong being so GAN CHIONG. HAHAHA.



This picture made me realise I had to do something about my hair colour....
We're looking very calm here but actually we were screaming at each other non-stop!





We didn't win anything, LAH.



Our lecturers came down to support us!
The ang mor is one of the CitiBank representatives.



So proud of our classmates, Calister and Henry for winning 3rd place!

Randomness with SuperCherry

26 September 2009

Seems like I was sick on that day so SuperCherry made sick food for me.



Porridge with scallops!

Ding Tai Fung at Junction 8!

We went there before a BBQ at SuperCherry's rich colleague's house...
Cos we were already so damn hungry!



Where's ma food!



My bigass bowl of beef soup.



Our Xiao Long Bao!
Why only 5 left?
Cos I'm a greedy guts and was munching away until I remembered to take pics...
As usual ><

SuperCherry always wanted to bring WonderPrawn to Brewerkz at the Indoor Stadium after going there with his colleagues... So there we went on a warm warm Friday.



I realise SuperCherry only takes passable photos of me when I'm drinking (?!)

I think I was so hungry that I didn't manage to get pictures of what we had... If I remember correctly it was some badly grilled beef which is nothing to shout about. Blahness.







It's size is impressive but not its taste...
*shivers at own cold joke*
I didn't bother to finish it. Tasted like crap.

I can safely say I won't be back at Brewerkz at Kallang... It's hot as hell, bad food and bad service!





Best pictures I could get outside Brewerkz.
I didn't even do anything with the camera, it was on IA mode.

Is it any wonder why I got a B for my TREP (Photography) GEMS?

The Emperor brought yummies home again!



YUM YUM.

Ding Tai Fung at Paragon!
(Haha I know, we're suckers for their Xiao Long Bao!)



OMG. Look at my BANANA YELLOW hair.
-_______-



We bought some German white wine for the Emperor, it's really cheap at this shop in Paragon!



That's a shitload of chefs. O_O

EH?! I just realise I didn't get any food pics. Aiya, it's always the same lah, beef soup and xiao long bao lor. =D

Jerina's COOKING?! O_O

28 September 2009

You saw that right!

I suddenly got bitten by the baking bug because I love cakes and desserts but they are all so freaking expensive outside!

SO, I did some research online to find recipes that are easy and yet don't require having an oven.

Most recipes which are labelled 'easy' are totally not easy for beginners, or else they need shitloads of ingredients not readily available from places like NTUC (Cold Storage is much better stocked).

The first recipe I tried is from Easy Lunch Box Recipes.



Steamed Egg Cakes!

I made the choice to hand beat the eggs and sugar which was a mistake (unless you want to train your arms, then go right ahead) cos it takes frigging 20 minutes to get it to the right stage! And even then I wasn't sure whether it was the right stage cos I'm a noob... I just gave up cos I was damn tired lah.

But it turned out pretty okay though a bit heavy. Heh.

The Emperor does a better job, he took over once I screwed up the microwave with my next two tries (which were obviously misses since I'm not posting them up hahaha). Blah.

30 September 2009

My next wild success (YES it was, SuperCherry finished it in like 30 seconds) was taken from Held by Love, Baked from Scratch.







Banana Buttermilk Pancakes!

... Okay lah, I cheated... I only mixed the batter then the Empress helped me do the frying. Cos we only have 2 frying pans, one is %^&*ing heavy and the other can't really balance... So we had to have some *ahem* teamwork lah.

Which involves me watching and the Empress frying. HAHAHA.

But it's madly deliciously yummy... I might make it again soon. :D

SuperCherry's Birthday Celebration (2009)

19 September 2009

From what I can remember, I didn't start the day early... I only joined SuperCherry at his house for the preparations because I'm SO not a morning person. But it's been half a year so I seriously can't remember lah!

We took Pig Pig's car because he was overseas at the time... Did the usual stuff- marinate, pack, buy satay, otah, and then hit the pit at Sembawang Park!



There's Candy Bear handling the bacon.



Big Bear hard at work peng-ing food, Baby Bear hard at work eating... and Soon Aik hard at work watching. Hahaha cold joke lah, not in a good mood today...
-_-



Ooh, we were at Pit 10.. Lucky I was boliao enough to take this picture?



That's us in happier times...



BACON!!! O_O



I still can't believe these two are brothers sometimes.



It's so bloody hot there we need all these to keep cool... Especially when Big Bear is handling the BBQ fire (hint: with a flametorch).



SEE!! The flame damn huge with all the bacon oil dripping around!



Our first kills. Hehehehe.



HuiHui and the Goldfish arrives!



Jia Ping and Don at their own private corner in the shelter. (:
It's been quite a while since we've met...



Gay couple Yong Tao and Jian Wei arrives!









The usual straw beer-drinking challenge!



The helpless victims- Don and JB (not-so-helpless!)



Smokers' corner- JB, Jian Wei, Wei Rong > He's so fair he's practically glowing in the dark!



Best drinker award goes to Zhong Han!
The dude is CRAZY.



Class photo- DCNT 3B??
I forgot the class, heh paiseh!



JB and WonderPrawn after drinking a bit too much Martell...



Wei Rong and WonderPrawn...
OMG my face was so red!





Damn GAY!



This is me after getting totally wasted.
I don't even remember taking this picture!

The actual day: 24 September 2009

NEW YORK NEW YORK!

SuperCherry has a knack of making me look damn ugly on camera so this is the only picture that is postable... Sobs.

We bought two toy morningstars!

WARNING: Puke-inducing photo coming up!



BWAHAHA. Whatever lah!
