And welcome to another adventure of " the girl who cannot cook!"

*wrinkles nose* I'm all tired out from cleaning up the kitchen..

see, I was reading my notes and i had this craving for wedges.. and none was to be found. I -did- remember seeing frozen fries in the freezer though, so i figured," hey... can't be THAT hard to fry potatoes!" RIGHT. Being on a diet, i figured i could do my own fries w/o using too much oil, ya knoe. So i went in serach of a frying pan thing ( which i found very quickly, so i took this to be a good sign). I had wanted to coat the pan with oil.. erm.. i kinda poured too fast and the pan was covered in 1cm of oil. then i figured, " what the hell... those were meant to be deep fried anyway..".. so i took this handful of frozen fries and dumped them on a plate before I put the rest back in the freezer. Right. So far so good. I was waiting for the oil to heat up and figured as soon as it does, i'll just dump the fries into the pan and flip them around. NOthing to it. RIGHT. What i did not anticipate was the flurry of oil spurting ALL over the place *sigh* the minute the fries went in, i heard a sizzle, then a crackling sound... and i backed off from the pan.. THEN things got out of control. I was standing in the corner.. not knowing what to do.. i mean, it was HOT oil! i certainly didnt want to walk near that party of dancing hot oil and flip the fries... after the sizzling went down, i ran to the stove and turned off the heat. then i ran back to my corner and stood there for another few seconds to make sure there weren't gonna be any surprises. Surprisingly, the fries turned out alrite. all the time i stood there watching, they kinda turned cripsy golden brown. Which was good. what was bad was the state of the kitchen.. there was.. erm.. oil all over the stove.. oil on the walls.. oil on the floor... on the table.. yep. so i spent like one hour cleaning the place up. had to clean the whole place quite a few times coz it was SO oily. Anyway, i gotta go take a bath now.. wash my hair and all. Don't fancy going to the choir concert tonight with oil in my hair.

And If i EVER mention about wanting to do fries on my own again, shoot me.

*bounce* Just got back from attending the BlaSt! concert. *grin* it was LOVELY. *laugh* of course, i went there just to see Jen perform. To think I almost didn't go coz I couldn't find anyone to go with me. I was telling Jen in the afternoon that I wasn't going because no one would be free to accompany me there and stuff, and she said I should check with Vyn. So i msged him and asked him if he was free.. He didn't sound too enthusiastic about it tho, but i got my way eventually *smirk*

anyway, Jen said to be there at 6pm coz the doors opened at 6.30pm.. so I met Vyn at UCC for dinner at 5.30... Look, all i -wanted- for dinner was a salad.. which was what i got. a garden salad and tropical passion tea ( a whole pot which vyn and i shared).. Vyn had a spaghetti. I think it was teriyaki chicken spag. it was then we realized that the dome at UCC is a lovely place to chill.. *smile* anyway, he was still hungry after the spag so he went to get dessert while i munched on the salad. Then he came back with TWO plates of brownie and ice-cream. I glared at him before whining that i was on diet... and after he coaxed me into having a bite, i was gone. all the time while i was enjoying that warm and moist brownie *drool* and the ice cream... yeah. I was eating and muttering at the same time. In fact, i was reluctant to admit I was in brownie heaven. Honestly, i don't know to love him or to hate him for ruining my diet. I told him so and he smirked and told me to just enjoy it. And we talked about how he was on a mission to make me the fattest girl alive and that he should change his target and try to make jenny fat instead coz i havent lost ANY of that weight i gained over the hols. it IS true you knoe. Whenever I go out with Vyn, he never NEVER fails to tempt me with the sinful food ( which i take - hook, line and sinker).

The doors opened at 6.45pm. At that point, i warned Vyn that it would be cold. He grumbled, of course.. like " why tell me NOW? why not wait till AFTER the concert? Just about as useful anyway. you should have told me -earlier- before i met you. *grumble* no jacket *grumble*" so i offered him my jacket. he refused rather violently and asked if i was trying to spoil his image.. *snort* his words, i quote " what would others think if i was huddled in a jacket and you're shivering there?.. i'd rather freeze man." so i let him freeze. and everytime my hands went icy-cold, i would cling onto his arm. my personal hand-warmer for the nite. *laugh* Once, I got uncomfortable holding his arm and i complained to him that it wasn't comfy. and he leaned to me and asked me, " so how would u like to hold me?" *mutter* i pinched him and said that didnt sound right at all.

Anyway, the performance was great. Think it would have been a great loss if i had missed it. Had to whisper to Vyn that he should stop drooling at the girls in short skirts ( that "intoxicated" one, i think). I liked that one. it's very.. *fans self* HOT. The first dance number was nice too. I can't remember what it's called, but it was based on martial arts or something. very.. interesting. I thought one of the guys was cute. *smirk* i'm not saying which one. The dances were all very well choreographed.. even Vyn, who was reluctant to come, was impressed and he told me so.

After the concert, Vyn and I waited for Jen outside the theatre and.. guess who i saw?! JEREMY~! Never did think he was the kind to watch .. erm. performances.. i mean, yeah. anyway, he said that he had a few friends in blast.. so he went to give support.. he went late though so he was standing throughout. i made him stay near me to intro him to jenny tho. heh. and now.. well.. i'm back. and tired.. was practically falling asleep on Vyn at the bus-stop. guess I should head to bed.. nitez all~

I did a survey yesterday. One of the parts required me to answer a question I was supposed to ask myself -- " Who am I?" and I was supposed to list down 20 answers as quickly as possible and not bother if the answers really made sense. So i did. Then i flipped to the next page and it said to circle 5 statements that would upset me most terribly if I found that that statement I wrote was not true. My first statement was , " i'm a girl." well, i figured I would be VERY upset if i suddenly realized I was a *shudder* GUY or something. so i circled that. A few other very weird statements I wrote that required circling include " I'm a living thing." hmmm. Don't think the people compling the answers would be very pleased with me at all.

*rubs eyes* i'm sleepy...

Went to watch this korean show with Eugene yesterday. Think it's called "natural city". yeah. turned out pretty cool.. i went in not knowing what it was about. heh. then it turned out to be sci-fi.. too much blood and gore for my tastes but the love story behind it was really sweet *grin* of course, eugene thought the director should have concentrated more on the "big picture" instead of the lovey-dovey couple... *snort* guys. but the whole bit abt a cyborg and human in love was -way- cool.. and the stuff the guy did to keep the cyborg girl alive.. *sniff* that was really sweet too.. ending was lousy though. they both died.. but they kinda died at the same time.. and that was sweet too. they died and it was sweet. oh gosh. what am i saying? but yes.. *gush* so.. *gush* i'm speechless. but i love the way the director did the way they died. or the scriptwriters. whatever.

Ooo and i've completed what i'm supposed to do for the lab report..*cheers*

Spent the whole of today with Melvin ( so what's new eh?) Well, at least now his comp has a whole lot of songs now.. I kinda burned 2 CDs over. Currently erasing the stuff on the CDs so i can re-use the damn things. We watched "paycheck" too. Been feeling guilty since i watched it with Vynnie, knowing full well he wanted to catch the show, ya knoe. So i went to D/L it and we watched it today. And i'm gonna remove that show from the comp.. it's taking up space. and for some reason, my right eye swelled up real bad early evening. it itched and i rubbed and the whole eye puffed up so bad the whole eye was nearly closed up.. ya knoe. The swelling's gone down after I was made to put eyedrops ( all that fuss made... not that i mind, but still... *giggle*)

*rubs eye* i can just picture melvin slapping my hand away. *rubs eye* but it itches.. Oohhh... *whine* it's swelling up again! *sulk* how am i supposed to go to school tomorrow?
