So here I am in school again. But this time in the US. Its kinda weird, I feel all the old signs of college over me again. But at least this time I am old enough to ignore them. No Schin.. no alcohol. Baaaad. But swearing alot is ok. I like having my own dorm and things, and I am enjoying some classes. I only regret not having enough time to work on my own art, I even have to turn down a commission. Thats the first time I ever done that. I miss driving alot. And Malaysian food. At first the cafeteria seems fun yknow.. like a night out in a fancy western restaurant everyday, but eventually I grew sick of the foreign food. Goddammit what would I do for a decent plate of curry laksa or nasi lemak and teh tarik. No more of the goddamn soda crap. And here they even put blue cheese in the salad. I almost puked all over the salad bar. I better start bucking up on my sketchbook. I'm such a silly illustrator. Two nice sketchbooks and havent even started on both. Well yeah there's like three pages of art in it but.. thats embarassing. I still don't like showing my art around. I like quarter coins, they're so cute. I hate dimes, theyre confusing. I don't like the bills, they're all the same size, how the hell can we tell them apart? People hate me when I'm buying something in the line and can't find the correct bill. Well, back to homework!

So today Su Li and I went to our old school's Hari Kantin day. Kinda like a fair or something. It was so freakin hot, we're both totally sunburnt now. First we got our tickets, then ate some stuffs. It was very crowded and it was an especially hot day, so we had many cold drinks. Then we went around exploring.. and its nice how the school has changed in the years under the new headmistress. It looks more cheerful now, but goddamit. They removed my murals ;_;. In my final year, my friends and I painted a waterfall in that space there. The 'pond' was newly constructed, but the pipes didn't work or something, so the water in the pond is very dark and murky. They won't drain the gross water, so we asked the gardener to put planks over it for us or something, but it didn't happen, so what the hell. We climbed around the rocks and held on to the wall or something and painted and hope to hell noone falls in. Noone did though, and I must say we did quite a nice job painting quite a realistic waterfall. The last time I saw, it was peeling, so I guess they painted over it. Oh well. Su Li did this thingy, forgot what it's called. She wanted me to join her but.. a) I'm wearing boots b) I'm chicken. It was scary but she did it confidently XD Awesome. As if that's not enough, Su Li did abseiling too. They tie you on a rope and you kinda lower yourself down from about 3 storeys high. I'd rather break an arm than do that, so I'm on photographer duty again. It seems pretty fun though. Then the both of us did archery. We shared 5 shots each, and I went first. I sucked though XD The damn arrow won't go! I spent like 2 mins going 'wtfwtf' and my arms were very tired, cos that damn thing was heaaavy. Then I gave up and handed it to Su Li. On her first try, swoosh it hit the board! Cooool. But then she had the same trouble as me and can't make it go either XD She handed it back to me and I don't know what I did, but it swooshed as well and hit the board. The pic is not very clear, but you can see where mine is. I hit a red and Su Li got the blue. Not bad eh? We went to Jusco and hung around after that, gossiped around and looked for shoes. Next time we're gonna buy beads and things, as it turns out that Su Li is into jewellery making too. Sweeet.

Im into jewellery making these days, you wouldn't believe it. for dolls and humans. I just made three bracelets for meself yesterday. i need more beads and swarovski crystals *_* i duno if i should put em up for sale, the pattern is very popular and anyway who'd buy em? i'll just give em away to friends for special events or so.

music: Portishead "Scom" mood: Portishead is so depressing.. current art: this. thing im doing..
Russia arrived a few weeks ago! she's a sweetie.
I'll probably never forget the day I picked up her in KL central from my doll partner. The nick on her head is from my nail polish.. yeah im a genius. managed to get it out tho. Her default makeup is very simple, but just so incredible.
She is my little Kimono wearing, Nadsat slang speaking devotchka.
So I've been busy these days, and have been baking alot. It's fun. Not so much cooking tho.. I don't like handling meat (ew blood and cold and icky) and veggies (EW what if there are caterpillars in it?) ..yeah. anyway. Foooood!
Au gratin potatoes. That is, a cheese sauce poured over potatoes then baked. Its very popular with the family.. and I should make more.. but it needs like so many potatoes =-=;
Sliced beef in mushroom sauce.. I used too much oil tho, ewww, and overcooked the beef. Eheheheh..
I've made the banana cake many times, very easy and everyone likes em. Not so with the choc fudge tho. Too rich.. maybe for a birthday cake or something.. but not for fun..
Chocolate chip cookies, my third batch! looks goooood doesnt it. Baked with love too, hehehehehe <3333
This one was weird.. it was supposed to be choc muffins, but we ran out of papercups. So I just added more flour and eggs to everything and poured the mixture into a cake pan. Its mighty rich.. noone dared touch it. Still tastes good tho.
Cornflake cookies.. not so good. I don't see myself maknig anymore either.. so much trouble and they kinda taste bland.
Farmstyle oatmeal cookies. They're kinda nice, but noones gotten around to finishing em yet. Very crunchy things.
Orange butter cake. I never liked butter cakes but my mom does.. oh well. I didn't put in grated orange peel.. maybe it would have tasted more interesting if I did..
Peanut butter cookies. Aren't they so CUTE? You eat em together with jam but we're lazy and just ate em. Very delish too, I should make more next time.
I wanna try cooking fish next time, but ick.. meat..
