festive blooms

busy busy busy!! smashing x'mas this year. main focus was on christmas day dinner which took great pains (and time!) to prepare. it was great. even i was impressed with myself. =P special thanks go to my amazed neighbour ben for loaning me space in your room! i am sure u had a great time sleeping with all those extra cushions. shall log down the menu just to remind myself what wonders can one create driven by a certain cosmic force.

1. corn leaves wrapped pork shoulder with cranberry sauce

2. baked salmon in orange juice

3. corn nibblets (side dish from those leaves!)

4. pineapple cheese baked mango prawns

5. chicken parmesan ravioli in mushroom tomato sauce

6. apple soup

7. baked banana (which became an accident)

8. chocolate mousse (which tasted like ice-cream)

9. vanilla vodka with cranberry-kiwi juice

10. good old CHOYA

11. ice wine from new zealand (gold reserves)

12. golden mushroom wrapped with bacon

new haircut. refreshed from the rest. received great presents. what else can you ask for? x'mas is for everyone! hmm.. reality is setting in. deadline for fyp is looming. :( inertia to really start work and doesn't help when you have got an unhelpful $u#k%r "advising" you. grr...

Looking forward to the NYE's party at ben's place!

Why would I worry about missing a shot I hadn't taken yet?
