i didnt know wad to do...

but just kept drinking water...

keepin myself bust with lab work..

and in d evening..i went to the forum to do some workout..

by night...d images above were no more in my mind...

instead..images of :

the 3 names that i think about whole night..

salive dripping..

tummy grumbling..

mind going insane..

but eventually..

its mind over matter..

i manage to go through the 40hours famine..

andi manage to get donations of 200AUD..

which i think could feed 25 kids for a month..

to support keegan's team for their comp..

GOOD GAME !!

so the game ended in a tie..

overall..a good game to watch..

Episode 51 - 40 Hours Famine

currently,
doing the 40hours Famine...
its a youth fundraising event..
and i must say,
its one of Australia's BIGGEST youth event..

this fundraising
is a chance to do something real..by..
giving up something really important to you,
eg food, technologies..etc etc..
by doing this 40 hours famine,
we would ask for donation,
to help support overseas kids from poverty

some of my friends gave up technologies,
some sleeping in tents,
some gave up tables and chairs..
but me and few others..
Keegan, Anthony, Allison,
Jeff, YeeShan, and another guy *sry forgot ur name*
also there were ZhenJie, YeongLee and Jeannie..

these 10 were the ones who gave up food instead of technologies..
Lol~

Episode 50 - Project O.I.Y.I.N

A sunday..
what do you normally do on Sundays..
Sundays to me are like..a time machine..
time pass so damn fast..
probably is cause when i greet d day..its afternoon..LOL~

last Sunday..didnt change one bit..
i woke up at 12noon..
went to get some ingredients i needed..
planned to make a desert/ cake/ i-dunno-what-it-is..

after getting them..
went over to YeongLee's place (Bara)..
to start our mission of making a Croquembouche..
its basically puffs stacked to build a cone..
i wanted to do this coz it was OiYin's birthday..
and its pretty interesting to see how MY croquembouche would turn out..

here are some pics..
the team effort for the croquembouche..

Me, YeongLee, Jeannie and ZhenJie..

all having a go at the puffs..

making a hole to pump d filling into the puffs..

while..

PRAYING not to break it..=P

total concentration and steady hands..

total control to pump d filling...LOL

they said i need to control myself well enuff..

or else i'd squirt all over d place...

*sounds so damn wrong

our first go at the puffs..

as can be seen...it didnt puff like we wanted it to...

so..we had ourselves a couple of deflated puffs as snaks..LOL~

HA! this is much more like it ey~

looks good..taste pretty darn good too..LOL

we improvised by adding eggs on top..

got a more glossy look..
superb ~~!!!

after 6 hours of hard work and efforts..

finally the Croquembouche is done..

we started at 1pm..and ended around 7pm..

and the result was..

SATISFYING !!!

our end product of hard work..

Croquembouche with strawberries..

the puffs were stacked with melted caramel..

strings of caramel flowed from the top to the bottom..

and duested with a little touch of caster sugar..

finished with strawberries...

Happy Birthday OiYin..
