ting ting ting!!! round vi!!!

friday 25th: my last weekday before gog back to school... its over!!! my summer holiday is coming to an end!!! i had a list of things i want to do during this summer... emmm... not good at following my plans! but i consider at least i had it started in terms of more detailed thinking and more plans. i do hope it works out! pretty confused still... but i know i have gx's support.

was packing the room very slowly ... till angie called and asked me out for tea. we planned lunch today but she gota fetch her family members to the doctor... so cancelled and anyway i was stuck in my packing! i got tons of stuff! esp the number of books increased! haha bags too! clothes... waited for her arrival for tea from 3+ ... finally she came at 5+! i have suggested i really dun wana step out... and if she dun mind i prepare simple tea! and also this fulfilled the wish to have tea using my new plate and esp the milk and sugar jar!

she was amazed with the tea-bits i had. told her i always stand by things in the house to serve guest thou we dun invite many guest! would love to if we had our own place! i always buy stuff for own consumption and will have it slowly and will always top up from time to time and thats how the supply never stops at home! i have yet to make myself a cuppa of hot chocolate yet and i should try it out! the tea bags are my favourite now! very fragrant! the only coffee i ever serve at home cos i use this hazelnut coffee for my desserts!

the mini pretzels were nice! i prefer small tiny ones! when i work in eton i introduced my group of lunch buddies dipping pretzels in caramel! we all got hooked! the biscotti is from my buys when i go woodland to stock up on my frozen stuff! this is very crunchy and filled with almond nuts! the flowery-shaped cookies are ginger cookies from ikea. i usually buy the ones with almonds but it was out of stock. tried this new oranged flavoured ginger cookie and it was nice! i like it! the most expensive on the plate has to be crabtree and evelyn white chocolate raspberry cookie. angie likes it! in the centre of my tea platter would be the black sesame mashmellows. at first i didnt really like this but when i accidently didnt wrapped this sweet up and left it opened overnight, the mashmellow got alittle softer and i liked it better!

gx came home and he didnt wana drive out for dinner again... we cooked japanese ramen... wasnt prepared! cos i wanted to get pork shabushabu to put into the ramen... lucky for us there is pock balls better than jus eating it plain! with the japanese seaweed i got, thats our dinner! i made red bean soup for dessert! boiled over many hours! i started making it in the early afternoon!

when i opened the door for my in-laws when they came back from work... i was thrilled once again to see big red plastic bags!!! this time was 3 huge spikes! the quality not very consistent! only one out of 3 can be considered really good in terms of texture, taste and smell. but still it was good to have durians for supper! i know i have been told durians make people gain weight! but its hard to resist! round vi of durians and i hope more to come! never enough of durians!
