i really don't think anyone reads my blog anymore because i've been too lazy to update even though i said i would, when i got back from australia. and i really planned to! with photos and all.
but daddy's taken cammie, as usual, and anyway the best photo of the entire trip isn't even scenery or the people i went with.
it's of a cake i baked at my godmother's house.
AMAZING STUFF! for the first time, i got the crumb i desired. hopefully i can recreate it here, and it wasn't just the good baking weather but that secret ingredient. i shall not divulge it, but i'm going to post pictures of the cake if and when i can. i'm also going to try baking it again, and if the results are good and you like the look of the cake you can pay me to bake it for your 21st birthday. or 22nd. or however old you are la. sorry to everyone i didn't buy krispy kremes back for. i really had no money - plus they're TOO SWEET FOR YOU (but yalan needs the calories).
i've been too lazy to blog because i started waitressing the night of the day after i got back. seriously. i've been doing four or five shift weeks, at rouge outdoors (where else) so do come by.
by my third or fourth day in australia i was dreadfully, dreadfully homesick. it was lovely spending time with abi and stella of course, and being with my godbrothers and godparents. but i'd be eating my smoked salmon on foccacia sandwich and sampling stella's gnocchi, or having dinner at stalactites again (great greek food); exclaiming over lovely fresh produce and cheap tim tams but just thinking all the time of $3 bak chor mee and the heat and running in the botanic gardens. i did go running when i was there, and i got lost, ended up running from stella's suburb to the next.
everyone i've told says i was just jon-sick but i know better, okay. i really did miss singapore. maybe it was just because it was winter and because i've been to both melbourne and sydney before, and because i somehow remember australia being a lot cheaper than it was before. but i was really thankful to be able to get away, even though i felt tons more excited landing in changi airport than when we landed in melbourne. seriously.
in other news, tonight joel's going to sign jon up for AHM. i really hope jon doesn't cramp and die on me half-way.
i haven't been running but i've been carbo-loading. . . so it should be alright.
yeah right, dude!

Hi there; your blog is being read by regular visitors, in my case from WMC, so take heart.:)
Australia is marvellous at this time; the coldest of winter should have just passed, and if you'd visited later at about late August to September, the weather would had been a perfect blend of cool days and nights. :)
