Quote of the day: No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
-Bertrand Russell
I'm leaving tomorrow for Heaven. (Well, not Heaven exactly I'm not dead, what I mean is that I going to my happy and worry-free place.) Hallelujah! It's good to be away from Singapore once in a while, away from homework and exams and everything else. This is what freedom really taste like. Sweet, pure, vivid, yummy. Not that I can do anything I want when I'm in China/Korea/Hong Kong(Yes, I'm going to that many places!) and I seriously doubt my parents will let me act crazy or anything, but I don't think they would want this holiday to suck for me either. Would they? I'm listening to the twilight soundtrack, Flightless Bird , American Mouth by Iron & Wine and switching between this song and Linkin Park's Leave out all the rest and A thousand miles by Vanessa Something.(Sorry, I forget her last name, anyway, it's the song from White Chicks.) I know, I opened 4 different tabs. The first one is for blogger-this-and the rest are the songs. I added an iPod to my blog-scroll way down-in it are all my songs. I have 21 songs there, so you can click on the homepage button on the iPod to see all the other songs or just use the fast-forward button(I prefer this way, trust me, really.) You can get this from:
http://www.mixpod.com, it's really good and you can install in on AIM, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and a lot more.

I'm Nocturnal. Help.
Quote of the day: If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
-Albert Einstein
I know, it's 11.45p.m. And I know, it's late and normally, I should be sleeping like a log now. But it's the holidays! Plus I can't sleep, and I really rather type then watch TV. Which has nothing on now, accept for old Taiwanese drama series. So I am blogging, and listening to Katy Perry's Fingerprint. My current favourite song is this song. Especially the chorus part. The past where she sings, "It's my life, and I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching it pass me by." This line really touched me, mainly because of how it reflects on how we should work hard while we're still young instead of wasting our time and regretting the past when we older. To speak the truth, I've got the idea of this post from Alyson Stoner's latest update. (I left a link at the bottom of this post in case this you don't know about her blog.) I know, I know, this is not what the song really means, but then again each and every song has a different meaning to us. It might be an inspiration, a motivation or just simply a song you enjoy! Anyway, you should really check out the full song. (I'll put this link with the Alyson Stoner one.) It's with lyrics so you don't have to worry. I'm watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn which is my all-time favourite anime series. I'm still waiting for the second series to come out. (Which means I'm still watching the first series now.) I love the all the characters especially Reborn who is this baby Mafia killer send by the Mafia boss to train a kid in Japan to become the next generation. (I know, that sounds SO creepy when I typed it.)

Food Recommendations: Homemade Recipes
Quote of the day: Compassion will cure more sins then condemnation.
-Henry Ward Beecher
Homemade Recipes always seems most comforting to me. There are a few in particular I often make myself. (Which often end in failure.) These recipes are simple, fast and easy to make. Which is what I crave often, nothing fancy. Okay, I'll cut the crap now. Enjoy.
1.) Orange French Toast
A small carton of orange juice
3 White Bread (or any bread you prefer)
2-3 eggs (depending on how many bread you use, about a 3:2 ratio)
a) Mix the orange juice with the eggs. Whisk well.
b) Dip the bread into the egg and juice mixture. Coat each side evenly.
c) Heat up a pan and pour in any oil of you choice. (Personally, I prefer olive oil. It's healthier and a better option from normal cooking oil which make the French Toast greasy.)
d) Serve with a cup of orange juice. (Optional)
2) Apricot Tart
2-3 apricot, sliced
2 egg yolks
1 cup of heavy cream
3/4 cup of sugar
1 1/2 cup of plain flour
1/4 cup of chopped hazelnut(or any nutty toppings you like)
a) Preheat a oven to 350 degrees.
b) Peel the apricots and arrange in the bottom of a blind-baked tart shell.
c) Combine cream, egg yolk, sugar and flour.
d) Pour the mixture over the apricot and sprinkle the hazelnuts over.
e) Bake in a preheated oven for 35 minutes.
3) Good 'Ol Chocolate Chip cookies
1/2 cup of butter
1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 1/8 cups of flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
a) Preheated the oven to 350 degrees.
b) Cream the butter and sugar. (aka Mix the butter and sugar and whisk till almost cream-like)
c) Add the beaten egg and vanilla essence. Whisk together.
d) Mix the flour, salt and baking powder and sift.
e) Add in the cream mixture to the powder and mix thoroughly before adding chocolate chips.
d) Now, you can design the cookies on your own. Either drop it by the spoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheets or add a bit more flour(make it a bit harder), roll the batter out and use cookie cutters to shape the cookies. Bake for 7-10 minutes or till the edges become a light golden brown.
e) These cookies are great as presents or as treats for yourself. Since Christmas is coming, why not wrap them up and give them to your loved ones!
(I've got the cookie recipe from http://www.easy-cookies.com, I made a little change to the ending. Hope you don't mind. Anyway, this website provides good and easy recipes for you.)
Bon Appetite!
