HOLA my darling readers. Whadduppp, whaddup. (I said that because I felt it mandatory but it's kinda lost its magic, if you know what I mean. Maybe I'm getting too old to appreciate such words omg. The revelation of my age just hit me. Urghhhhsjlksa)

N.B. Isn't my title artsy and hipster-ish? hahahaha 

This space has been left dead for so long, I very nearly gave up on it. Well, okay, I did for a bit. But I've decided to revive it just coz, y'know. And in a bid to make this post that bit more inneresting, I changed the font! Because Courier, it makes such a difference, oui. 

Currently listening to teeny bopper Candy Store by - I had to check my iTunes just to get this right - Faber Drive. You should give it a listen. It's poppy and ditty and right up my alley, whoop. In fact, it's the kind of song you only have to listen to once or twice before it gets stuck in your (hollow) head, its annoyingly catchy hook on shuffle. Good gravy.

*She goes off and becomes nice for a second*
OKAY FINE, HERE YOU GO, I'VE GONE OFF AND DONE A YOUTUBE SEARCH AND EMBEDDED THE SONG AND ERR'THING. So now you have to listen to it.

Now, the only reason I'm actually making the effort to write in here is so I can look back on all this stuff and go, "Wow I went through a lot, my life was actually interesting back then and I actually thought I had my shit together!!" 

But clearly I'm losing interest already. Well that was fast. Mehh. 

In other news, 

FIFTEEN MINUTES TO SIX PM!!!

Bring on the happy hour at Malone's with Bellypiez! Us NigaHiga fans be like, Teehee. Tee hee. 

*Oh now it's 14 minutes. And I'm typing this on textedit meaning by the time I actually transfer this to Blogger it'll be ten minutes to 6pm. 600 lovely seconds. Hurry by, time. Thanks lots. 

P.S* As an informal update - and because I just felt I had to, I've been neglecting bec-touille.bg for so long - I'm currently finishing up Week 10 of my eleven-week internship. Won't say where just yet! It's a secret. Aren't you just dying to know. 

Ha ha ha

 I'm sorry for ending this on an annoying note. 

Goodbyes are tough.

Helloooo my homies and nonexistent readers, I'm back!

I've decided I'm gonna be temporarily abandoning this space. I just feel like I really want some privacy-I'm thinking of setting up a blog under a pseudonym that no one will know about until they stumble upon it while browsing the interweb and go, "Ermahgerd this is a gem! Wtf have I been missing all my life?!" hahahaha narcissism, you gonn' be standing by me, yo.

But in all seriousness, if I do decide to continue blogging here, it's gonna be about strictly everyday, unimportant stuff. I just don't enjoy the idea of anyone reading what they probably shouldn't be reading. Which is a bit ironic, because if I don't want anyone to read something, why post it online, right? Right. I've been filtering my thoughts a lot here anyway. I don't enjoy that anymore. Maybe I'll start a food blog like *coughs*~

On a side note, CHRISTMAS IS COMING, yay! I can't wait. The girls are coming over on the Eve, and I'm probably meeting Lazymird in the morning so that's awesome as possum. The best part is, I was actually supposed to have work on the 24th and 31st (wtf), but one of the supervisors did her magic and bypassed the manager, so now we've got both days off. Which is freaking amazing and all in the spirit of Christmas whooop^-^ Haha I sound so damn sarcastic. I feel like I'm in a freeze frame and I need to feel more festive by baking and consuming more food than ever, especially cinammony, raisin-y, apple-y anything. C'mon Christmas bug, bite my ass already! Ohh and I want me some fruitcake. The best thing about it is definitely the laced prunes and raisins. I love rum in my tum, mmmm gimme moremoremore. It smells and tastes amazing. My mum's version is the best thing evah-I don't even bother paying for fruitcakes sold outside, not even fancy ones. I'd eat some if the occasion called for it, but other than that, meh. Yes, I'm a hundred and one percent biased teehee #nigahiga

108 seconds to 6pm! WHOOP. Off to the SEA Aquarium tmrw, I can't wait <3

Also, I need to get some ingredients for the cupcakes if I intend to make them before Christmas Eve comes.

N.B. I just went to NTUC awhile ago to get all my ingredients. Damn you, Philadelphia cheese and Bulla sour cream and Digestives. Why you cost so much?! T_T It breaks my heart to part with my cash, especially since my pay for my Editor stint is only gonna be coming in in Feb 2013. I K R, if we live that long. Y'all doomsday beliebers oh, ohh I kid had better replenish your canned food supplies and learn to assemble a makeshift toilet bowl out of black trashbags and two chairs. You try it. It's not that hard, really. We made one in secondary school for some Total Defence Day drill six years ago, and it was funtown. Try peeing in a dark classroom with sealed windows covered with black trash bags, deprived of fresh air while the sound of you freaking doing your business echoes everywhere. And let's not forget to mention the bigass machine they used to chug out *mock* poison gas under the doors of every classroom to see if we'd properly sealed all corners of the room!! Fun, like I said. Hahaha okay I'm gonna try to watch the Channel 8 show now, because I think my typing is distracting everyone. And I got my Secret Santee a present today 'cos I felt a cheapskate for just getting him an elf toy. In my defence, it is fucking adorable and I would trade a pinch of that amazeballz fruitcake just to keep it. :( But Christmas is all about giving, and therefore... I shall!

P.S* This is what Christmas with Yoda would be like. And if you don't get it, too bad for you. Because Yoda rules. (A Christmas rhyme, I just made! With fruitcake, let's celebrate!)

Just in case I end up not blogging in time for Christmas (I probz will lah), 

Merry early Christmas and Happy 2013!

Have an amazing one filled with more laughter than you can handle and more love than you deserve. In return, be nice and naughty because Santa Craus is good and sweet and doesn't judge kids on their behaviour. Yes, I'm sorry to break it to y'all, kids-who've-been-good-all-year. You're not gonna get any more PlayDoh under your tree than Tim, even if he did undo your ponytail and hide your hair tie. 

P/P.S* Also, this Tim guy.. he probably likes you.

Toodles noodles and turkey and tofurkey, eye wuv you

Because We're Free and Young

For lack of better things to do, haaaaaaaiiii I'm back!!

I'm having a banana cake now. Yess I can't believe I'm eating banana cake what have my taste buds sunk to pffffft. But anyway it tastes nice, so fuckyeah! Alley gave me 3 slices and I'm on my third (clearly I'm greedy, and my stomach and brain do not work in sync-I feel full, but my mouth insists it needs to chew on something. Anything. Don't I sound gluttonous? Hahahaha)

Mmm I'm honestly not in a writing mood again so allow me to spam pics! Also, on a completely unrelated note, I am the epitome of spendthrift-ness. I can work my butt off just to earn 50 bucks or something and spend it in a nice restaurant like Marmarade (hur) Pantry or some yummy place in a hot minute, just cos I'm craving a good cupcake and end up ordering the Mexican Chicken Salad and the freaking cupcake. 

And I really need to get off my butt and do something I really love like trek around the world/go to HK or Switzerland because I feel so unmotivated. I despise sameness and mundanity urhkhjkd. I can't lead a predictable, routine life. I need to keep my mind occupied with stuff I love. I love conversation, because it makes me think. Without any of that, I'm gonna end up some sad person living with five dogs hoarding shiny things like aluminium foil and chocolate wrappers. 

Anyway, pictures!!! 

Um, I suddenly don't feel like blogging at all HAHAHA so ~this post has come to an abrupt end. More soon!!

xoxo

Chocolates and laziness etc.

Hai whaddupppp imaginary readers! I'm finally back after a close to month-long hiatus. There's a packet of Hershey's Cookies N' Creme chocolate nuggets right in front of me right now-my reward for 'helping out for red camp', which is so damn awesome. I love Hershey's and would expound about my love for them, if not for the fact that I have work to do and I'm leaving for a Skyes and Marsh ice cream buffet that my sup so kindly offered us in approximately 133 minutes. So yes. (Apparently, however, I do have the time to blog. Procrastination is amazing.)

Anyway lazy to type so pics!!

IKEA 
Ikea food is freaking good. I don't know why, I just enjoy it. Even the queuing and debate over what to get as you frantically study the menuboards and refrigerators while pushing forward those innovative, super silly looking trollies trolleys (? I just googled this. Lol)

Apple pie of my eye 

Okay no, lazymird is the apple pie of my eye! Just in case he's reading this HAHAHA.

Anyway, this isn't the most perfect apple pie. It's not the traditional, buttery pie with steam slipping through slits at the top of the pie, Snow White style. Its base is biscuity, sorta like digestives. But that's exactly why I love it, mmm. It definitely can't beat my mum's apple pie, though. Whyyy is it so hard to find a good apple pie with well-stewed apples that aren't too sweet?! I love cinammon and soft apples. omfg don't I sound like a fattyfatty pig but pa duppa pa paaaa~ I'm lovin' it  hehe 

Chicken wings were okay-ish-it's been too long, I can't remember!

                MEATBALLS MEATBALLS OF THE WORLD, come to me

        

 I got the kids size, because 

1) I don't really love meat but these are thebomb. Theamazeballzbomb. Like, literally. They truly are

2) I wanted to save room in my stomach for my apple pie and chicken wing and fries and other shit because I am a food thief. Nab me! Hahahaha okay that's not funny.

3) Despite what so many of dem peeps are saying, I find the *new and improved* meatballs rings true. They taste so damn good now. 

Aaaaand butter cupcakes I made on a Very Bored Day! Hahaha pictures are so deceptive. They look fine, but tasted.. well. I don't think there's a fitting word to describe something that tastes like these cupcakes. It's not that they tasted bad or anything, they just tasted boring.

In my defence, I did use a mix! I think it was Greenfields or something, and it was meant to be a "butter pound cake" (or so it says on the box), but it turned out completely unlike how a butter cake should taste. It wasn't dense, it wasn't buttery, and there wasn't a whiff of anything while it was baking in the oven. Not even that awesome buttery smell that makes everyone run to the kitchen and go, "Hoooo my gosh wtf are you baking that smells so good!!!" None of that. :(

Instead, it came out light and fluffy and more like a spongecake with hints of butter than anything else. My sis tried one and proclaimed it be be "yummy, but she thought it was a spongecake!!  So disappointing. Greenfields why you like that eh. And I know it was meant to be a butter pound cake, but I was feeling hungry/greedy and wanted them to bake in a shorter time, which is why I made them into cupcakes! Gluttony also happens to be one of the 7 Deadly Sins, as Lainz kindly reminded me yesterday. This is one sin I unfortunately commit on a daily basis.

Okay I'm leaving in 63 minutes, lots of work to ketchup on gotta catch 'em all pokémon pokemon!

Trick Or Treat

Guhfgdskljlkefnj I'm hungry. Just went to co-op again with darling alleycat and ended up getting PRETZELS and this super yummy candy I just discovered yesterday (how is that possible?! ): Puccho!! I would take a picture of it and *cameran* it and err'thing, but it just takes so much effort to attach the USB cable to my phone. Hahaha anyway, sorry for lack of updates! I haven't been in a blogging mood in awhile.

This should appease all my non-existent readers of the world:

South Park guy, other South Park/ Hulk guy and...

                    

HONEYYYY BOO BOO!!!

Carve a pumpkin, don't dress up, give away candy and try to resist behaving like a zombie. 

And on a separate note, Spizza tonight! Only ten bucks a pop on this very special (rainy, wet, dark-all the perfect attributes for halloween) day. I love Italian pizzas. I'm gonna order the Pamela, an Olivia and a Rebecca just coz it's named after me!! Hahahaha I am so narcissistic. Well, it's got mozzarella, gorgonzola, ham, rucola and sun-dried tomatoes in it-so it's probably really delicious. And I'm not just saying that because I'm biased towards my own name lolol. Um, and I just reread that sentence and it sounds very wrong. (The "I'm gonna order the Pamela" part) 

In my defence, their pizzas are named after girls okay! Why do they use female names for everything, anyway? Hurricane Isabel, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy. Even pizzas aren't spared from that kind of thing. Is it supposed to be a form of endearment or something? Because I don't get it! Ufffff. Sexist hurricane namers, all of dem jerks peeps. At least most natural disasters are just left as such: Sichuan Earthquake, Tsunami 2004, Haiti Earthquake. Excuse my impudence, but it really does seem like these people are making naming hurricanes after women their "thing". Just saw this though! Does that justify everything? Why the heck anyone would be flattered to have a natural disaster named after them is beyond me. 

I digress. Ooohhh I'm gonna order me some spag later too. Whoop! I cannot go to an Italian restaurant/eatery and not get some form of pasta. Even if it's in lasagne form, it's good. I just need something with bite and loads of tomato. See? I'm so damn easily satisfied. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, TRICK OR TREATERZZ

xoxo

P.S*  I was trying to google "Spizza Menu" and typed "Spizza Manu" into the search bar. Wtf is wrong with me! Noooo

P/P.S* I'm feeling quite disappointed. The pretzels I thought I bought are in fact "biscuit sticks", or so it says on the pack. Shitz you mean to say i've been eating biscuits disguised as pretzels all this while?! I'm munching on them now, and it's becoming more and more obvious. I am consuming fucking biscuits and not pretzels.

The disgraced "pretzels" in question :(
I guess this is where the trick in trick or treat comes in! Ahhhhaskdbaj I'm so upset

 (yess being an editor has wired my brain to freaking hyperlink everything lol)

Happy Street! It's fun.

Because I evidently have nothing to do, I've decided to blog. Yay, more meaningless garbage for my imaginary readers to enjoy! In a bid to make my posts less like how they usually start, I've decided to do away with the usual lines I tend to use just this one time:

"Hellllo non-existent readers!"

"If you can't figure out what the title means..."

Errr that's about it. I was going to post pics of food again, but I realise I've been posting way too many pictures of food lately!! Wtf I am such a terrible, non-inspirational blogger. Bad! I actually tried typing uninspirational, thinking it's a real word and err'thang (NEW FAVOURITE WORD!) Elaine's is amazeballs. Who am I to judge when I never knew what a "bukkake" is. Please don't google it, by the way. Hahahahaha

I think I'm suffering the aftereffects of a sugar high now. Must be the soya bean milk I had, which elaine said doesn't contain lots of sugar, contrary to what I suggested. Proof here:

I cut out our faces, because I'm nice like that. Okay, you can sort of see half of our faces but that's not the point!! The point is, I look funny. I don't even know what I was thinking when I uploaded it thinking it would make a nice profile pic LOL. I can't be bothered changing it, either, because there are so many more important things to worry about, like what to have for lunch tmrw. And for the next 101 days of my internship. 

Anyway ending off abruptly cos.. 13 minutes before we get to leave office!!! Whadddup, yo! 

Oh now it's ten. hehe

The moral of this blog post (and which has absolutely no link to the rest of the pointless paragraphs above) is..

Everyone should play Happy Street! It comprises adorable graphics and equally adorable music. Do you find the word adorable puke-inducing? Well, too bad! Ha ha hahaha. I'm being annoying.

Here's a run-down of the game in approximately 95 words:

After opening up the game, a little fox wearing goggles or some stupid shit comes down in a patchwork hot air balloon omfg I love hot air balloons!!! 

Frighteningly, there's a blue wolf with a backpack waiting for him below, creepy grin plastered to his face and a beret thingy with two holes for his ears to come out of.

Then you basically get LOTS of arrows teaching you how to set up yr village, build ferris wheels/fish markets/sunflower farms(?) and chop wood in the forest to build MORE ferris wheels and pretty houses! See:

This isn't mine, btw. Mine looks horrible now so I'm not gonna post up pics of it and risk having it get laughed at. Ahhaha okay end of post, three mins to go!!! 180 seconds c'mon 

xoxo

Ennuyé

If you can't figure out what in the world this title means, go google it! Okay, it's French for bored. Will this put my grade for the internship at risk? I hope not, lolol. Anyway, today's been an insanely productive day!

Let me count the ways:

1. Sent mass emails to lain/smelly/belly/cow

2. Raided pantry for food. Got some plain bread! I actually like the taste of plain bread (doesn't matter what kind coz I'M GREEDY LIKE THAT. ha ha hahaha)

I think Clara made a couple of nutella sandwiches! She's had like four or five today which just goes to show how bored we are. LOL

3. Chatted with the alleycat. She's reading another *cough* trashy chick lit novel called Endless Chase. Frankly, that's hardly a step up from the previous two books she read: Proscriptive Relationship, and Surreptitious Relationship. I'm giving her my judgey eyes yo!

Also, I can't wait for the interview with R_____ in two weeks time, whoop! (Don't wanna put her name here because of confidentiality and all that shit)

The only thing is, I haven't started thinking about what I'm gonna ask. Probably something along the lines of, "Hello R_____! So how's Singapore been so far? Have you tried durians?" errr that's all I've thought of so far. Such generic questions. Ahhaha 

4. I'm embarrassed to say this, but they toasted up a whole load of nutella sandwiches and I greedily took one. Because humans don't just eat when hungry, they eat when they're bored. Or greedy. or both, or maybe all three (fungry/bored/greedy). Doesn't matter! The point is, I... tried... a nutella sandwich.. 

And I actually liked it. What is this sorcery?? Haha that's a line from The Dictator, btw! Starring the beloved Sacha Baron Cohen. 

Oh, and this is bad-I had to resist the urge to hyperlink his name. See what my internship's done to me barely eight days in? Actually, see what oj's done to me? 

5. Sadly, the above just about sums up my highly productive day. Also, I had baked beans and three cookies and some awesome $1.70 pandan rice with veg and egg for lunch. I took a pic, but it's in my phone, and it's just so tiring transferring photos.

Ohh, I've got more work to do now! Actual work. The whole fb message thing is great and err'thing, but it hampers productivity fortyfold. Hahaha the end bye folks!!!

P.S*

Sad people who do cute things to innocent animals.

Presenting the puprito (puppy burrito. I know.)

A rice rilakkuma/kilarumma(inside joke. Don't be confused!!) with cheese ears and a snout and an omelette blanket! Fml I just about went into meltdown seeing this

More soon! xoxo

And happy birthday to my mum. I know I drive you up the wall and likewise but you're still awesome and I love you as much as tomatoes. Which is a lot hahahaha what an annoying daughter.
