Iron Man 3


This movie is really AWESOME! I just love the part when the army of Iron Man arrived together and surround them. This scene is so magnificent! I really don't mind watching it again. The suit is really very useful and so high-tech. Many creative ideas are crafted and demonstrated by the suit. They make it feels like the suit is no longer just something Tony Stark will wear but a very diligent assistant. 

I think I'm going to watch Iron Man 1 and 2 online. JUST SO NICE! Also, the way Tony Stark speaks and reacts is humorous in his ways which I quite like it. The character is also very intelligent to react to the different situations. I hope this sequel will go on...although the ending of Iron Man 3 doesn't seems to imply that. Anyway, go watch it if you haven't, it's really nice. *THUMBS UP*

Oh ya, there's a china version too, featuring Fan bing bing. I think it's only just some cuts, can watch the trailer for the china version on youtube too.

Baking

I not only love to eat pastries, I like to bake them too! Recently, I have been watching many videos on baking and saw many people with really pretty kitchenware. I'm quite satisfied with the oven I have now but not the electric mixer. The electric mixer has been around in my family for many years. I think ever since I was young? It is still working but it just give me the impression that it will just shut down and die off anytime. I would love to have a new electric mixer, especially the one from Kitchenaid, in YELLOW!

Look at this, isn't this pretty? 


I would love to have such measuring spoons of all sizes in YELLOW too! I need this so that there is no need for me to convert cups to grams using the chart every time when the recipe is in the 'cup' units. Pretty right?


Anyway, there are many other colours of electric mixer under Kitchenaid. As long as you can name it, they have it! Don't believe? Go google images, 'Kitchenaid electric mixer' and be prepared to see a rainbow on the screen. 

While I was googling that away, I saw some printed Kitchenaid electric mixer. THEY ARE SUPER AWESOME! Have a look....


OMG, I JUST LOVE THIS! One can never go wrong with DAISIES! CHIO TTM!

Then I found out a website regarding paintings on Kitchenaid electric mixer and some other objects such as guitar etc. All the pictures are hand-painted by an artist, can you believe it? At first I thought they are printed onto the surface during manufacture but I was wrong! All of them are specially designed and the artist will go according to what the owner wants and paint on it. How cool is that? This electric mixer not only allows you to make tasty pastries but is also a piece of art which you can beautify your home. These are some of them which I took it off the website, you can go: http://www.un-amore.com/alldesignsgallery.html and have a look. I like how the artist create art pieces on our daily life home appliances and most importantly, they are based on vintage ideas. I JUST LOVE VINTAGE.




Look at how cute the milk maiden is! 


Sunflower is yellow, love it too~~~


This reminds me of Betty Boop, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.
All of them are the icon for vintage! 

They are so many other wonderful and pretty artworks on the website, http://www.un-amore.com/alldesignsgallery.html, GO HAVE A LOOK! :D 

Alright, I should decide a date and start baking. I already bought all the ingredients earlier today. All I need now is to choose a day to bake them. What will I be baking? :D Up to me to know, up to you to find out!

1st post exam activity

And yes, my freedom came on the 7th may. My very first post exam activity was to have lunch buffet at Kiseki with qinning yesterday. I went to the old one at heeren thrice and thought that Kiseki buffet is really worth it and their food is nice too! However, they moved to Orchard Central now and it's much smaller. The variety of food is also lesser and for some, the taste of the food is also different. I still prefer the old one though. Nevertheless, I have a great lunch, good food, good accompany and good chat. :) 



How can I not have waffles? I think it's really nice!
There is a butter smell and taste! 

We were SUPER FULL after the lunch. We went in at around noon-12.30pm and left the place at 3pm plus. We went around the malls for some window shopping after that. Well, for me, it's not window shopping luh, haha, I bought a pair of sandals form H&M. SUPER NICE! I fell in love while I was browsing the H&M website before the holidays even started. The real piece is even nicer in real life. I was in a dilemma due to the price ($39.90...okay....for a pair of sandals) but end up buying it. IT'S JUST TOO PRETTY!!!

Then, qinning said the movie 'The Call' is nice and we went to watched it at cineleisure which is just opposite. It was a last minute decision and the movie is AWESOME! Just go watch the trailer and you will be interested to watch it too! It's a movie that is not to be missed if you like detectives, police-related, thriller that kind of movie. Having said that, I wanted to watch IRON MAN 3 at first but qinning just dunno how to appreciate this superhero. Her all time favourite and one and only superhero in her heart is Spiderman. Oh wells, let's see who can I ask to go catch this movie with...if not, I just watch alone? Loner much....

We then went to bugis to visit kissjane. On the way there, I was checking my email and saw Scoot's email telling me that there is a FREAKING 50% OFF FOR FLIGHT TICKETS TO TAIWAN! We planned to go taiwan and were looking and comparing the flight tickets to see which one to get. Lucky we didnt get to too early, if not we will miss this promotion! I'm so happy that I get to save so much for the flight tickets. I only paid $292.49 for to and fro tickets to taiwan with additional baggage of 10kg for the return flight. Surprised that I added 10kg on top of the 15kg which is already included in the package? That's because we are going there for 15 days! The last time I went to taiwan is with shinfen, shunyu and tzumi, for about 13 days. and since tzumi's relative is there, all of us get to stay at her uncle's house. This means that we don't need to pay for accommodation. This time round is different! I have to pay for my accommodation for the FULL 15 days which can easily sums up to 1k plus? Therefore, I'm glad that I can save some money on the flight tickets.  Anyway, my main point of this trip is for more experience and EAT! I doubt I will be shopping much unless I see something which I really like. So I guess I won't spend too much on buying clothes etc? *Fingers crossed* Haha, too early to say it now. 

Hmm.....I was thinking, should I get a new camera? Like a good one? Not DSLR of course, I'm not that pro. Maybe a digital camera which can take really clear photos? The one which my family owns is quite old already, it can't really take super clear shots. I dunno.....is this really a need? I might be changing my phone already since it's really laggy these days and the contract is already up for dunno how long liao.........Money, money, money....need to get a job and start earning some more pocket money! It's so hard to find an office environment job for just 2 months! Most of them requires at least 3 months of commitment. Gosh.....I really want to try out office environment job since I've never try before.

I'm quite free today. I have nothing much to do other than to give tuition at 7pm. I wanted to go for a run in the late afternoon but it was gloomy and all. I just got my new sport shoes - Asics Gel Netburner in white/blue - and wanted to try it. I've played netball for so many years and this is my very first pair of netburner. I got it through a supplier all thanks to my old netball mate from secondary school. The original price was $209 and I got it at $130! Cheap or what! The quality is really good and I have never felt such support from a sport shoes before. It's really comfy. I hope this pair of sport shoes will last me for quite some time since I only use it for jogging now. 


In the end, I did physical fitness at home.  


I combined these two and of course, those overlapped, I only did 1 set. I have no stamina now! Seriously, half way through I was already dying! I told myself I have to finish it because I overeat like nobody business yesterday at the buffet. I hope the workout I did just now did shed some calories off. I'm gonna have a light dinner later so that I won't gain back whatever I lost through this workout. More workout sessions soon!
