Sunday 14th - rainy day... managed to get out of bed and hurried to meet the gals. we were the 2nds to reach the school. such a quiet and cool morning, truly feels like winter and its nice as we are attending european christmas class. very thankful to my 2 frens who joined me for class! i was looking for buddies cos i wasnt sure if i can handle the class alone! glad they came along! i couldn't knead the chilled dough at all!

7 cookies in 3 hours. the method are about the same but the ingredients vary and the taste are never the same! i was lucky to have my frens around! they were taking care of me, helping me out when i can't pump teh marcoons out! my favourite cookies has to be the hazelnut macaroons! they were very nice. when i saw the list of cookies we were going to make, this wasnt anywhere near my excitment cos i find macaroons too sweet for my liking! unexpectedly this was a little different from round smooth macaroons! MY FAVOURITE! this was joyce favourite too! dap like the caramel squares better! that cookie had a very nice "burnt" caramel smell and taste. alittle too sweet for me but all the cookies are very nice and esp when having with tea would be perfect!

i am so glad to have attended this class as i always want to learn how to make most of these cookies and i look forward to bake them! after class, together with gx, we head to colsbar to have lunch. gx had curry which was not bad and the gals had omelettes while i gobble a pork chop! head to holland v to get my favourite bread! milkpan from provence. i bot 10! 6 for gx family and 4 for mums. opf cos the gals were glad i made a pitstop there cos they too are provence fans! then i head to mums place for dinner and gx had to help mum work further on the guest list cos there were last minute changes. everyone was counting down to sis wedding!

in 45mins ...

tuesday 22nd : many changes to my schedule due to my commitment to help angie with some graphics work. i had to postpone meetup with tabby to some other day cos i needed time to rest and oso to go get cookies for the kidos in my class. i promised them i would give them a treat. sweet bunch. after easa went to collect my altered new dress. the last time i went down i wasn't happy with the alteration. lucky this time i was better. got my privillege card and dam i can't resist the dress they showed me... thou i look preg in it, i like it alot! gave in... no regrets thou but where to wear to? looking forward to may's family party!
went to robinson to look for pouch/small bag for gx to use for work. then i spot the RL free bag... i was attracted right at once! pretty good deal cos instead of spendning on a bag, i got gx a new RL fragrance - double black. i like the smell. came with aftershave and bodywash. of cos he screamed!

wednesday : after school rushed out with sheena. glad she walked wih me. with the crazy afternoon sun, i am so reluctant to walk out everyday! called dap and so coincidence she took time off. rushed to town to get a mirror for gx so i head to paragon muji to meet dap. got the last one. bought a packet of sweet banana chips too. didnt take pic cos ate it once i met gx in the office while waiting for his fren to come try the touch. it was finished by the 2 of us within minutes. went to a/x to see a long time no see fren. ex-collegue from esprit R. he was shock to see me cos eariler on dap spotted him doing up the windows. good to see him. wonder hows J in taiwan. 4 of us worked many hours together during my esprit dayz.

head to taka to get cookies for the kidos. wanted to get them gingerbread man but was too ex cos each cost $3.20. bought cookies by weight instead. chose the colourful bits chocolate cookie and gummie on orange cookie for treats.

think i bought 1.2 kg of cookies! i bot a huge chocolate chips cookie for my tcher. ITS GOT LOADS OF CHIPS! total was about $32+. i treat dap to 100gms which was about 8 cookies and i chose my own 8 cookies too. wanted to try all and see which one is good. sad to say i only like 2. the one to try is white chocolate with raspberry - top left on the 1st photo. and the the something snap... this would be the top left on the 2nd photo.
