STRESS

Tomorrow is gonna be the last day of Semester 5. STRESS. Media Law exam!! Look at us, 'destressing' :)

Hair like cherry :)

I wanted to try something new & daring so I took the tube of red poster colour & turned my hair into this! *points below*
BUT.... I really liked how it turned out and I certainly gave quite a shock to my family & friends. Each time they look at me, their face will have big bold words written on their face "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING MAY!!"
I like lah, cannot  is it? hehehehehheeheh...

 A few weeks later.. Probably one month plus, the red faded slowly to this!! *points below* I was expecting the colour to fade within a week but nope, it took one month to fade. Happy but not so happy at the same time. Don't want it to fadeeeeee~~

Something super duper quadruple extraordinary

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA!!! *gulps*

Audition next week. *pulls collar for air*

Be prepared to see me present a public humiliation of myself :)

Okay, so it turns out like this. Not sure if its suppose to look like this or not but, OH WELL. My sisters, boyfriend and I were fighting to finish the remainings of this so, you can guess how good it taste la. HAHAHA super proud, my head is floating on the kitchen ceiling :p

I was bored, assignment deadlines are like 2 days away and I dunno what made me browse tru some random recipes. Procrastinating much? Anyhow, I followed this recipe from http://www.foodnetwork.com :)


Heres the recipe. Give it a try! I loved mine :)

Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds strawberries, stemmed and quartered
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• Whipped Cream, recipe follows

Directions

Mix strawberries with 3 tablespoons sugar and refrigerate while juices develop, at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add heavy cream and mix until just combined. Place mixture in an ungreased 8-inch square pan and bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

Remove shortcake from pan and place on a rack to cool slightly. Cut into 6 pieces and split each piece in half horizontally.

Spoon some of the strawberries with their juice onto each shortcake bottom. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and then the shortcake top. Spoon more strawberries over the top and serve.

Whipped Cream:

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Using a mixer, beat the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until soft peaks form, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

Catwalk Coaching Session at Amber Chia Academy with Project O&O

Whoo! I've been busy with uni stuff lately that I can hardly find time to update my blog.

Ok fine, I lied. Was busy being a lazy bumm. :)

I joined a competition called Project O&O a few months ago and guess what? Am one of the top 10 finalist! WHEEEHEHE!! So far we had quite a few activities such as an organized photoshoot which you can view in Project O&O's profile: Li May's Photoshoot

I look kinda weird somehow. Don't know why. Face problem I think. HAHA

On Monday, the finalist had a coaching session on catwalks at Amber Chia Academy. I went for it and oh my goodness, I had a tough time walking straight. I am a slipper girl. I feel comfortable with slippers. Asking me to strut around with heels was torturing but NEVER SAY NEVER! *epic Bieber music background* 

I managed to survive through and have been practicing how to walk properly with a pair of tall heels. Yes lah, practice makes perfect babeh!

Oh, we also had been  given i mean, loaned with a Pentax camera. I picked this digital I-10 model and guess what, I loved it!

I played with it using various type of lighting and the quality was good :) Photos uploaded below are all taken with it!

It was a great experience. Give a big round of applause to Miss Jasmine Loh the Manager of Amber Chia Academy for having such great patience and guiding us through. I can't stop staring at her by the way. She's so pretty :P

Tested the camera in the car. Snapped this when the car was turning, and I expected it to be blurry but ITS NOT! awesome..... :)

My tiny toe had a blister from all the catwalk on heels :(
HAHA I know, super noob. Its okay, I learnt alot :)

I learnt how to pose too. Like super model pose. Whoo! Just kidding :)

Something I can never get 'jelak' of

Even though I am always making this same pasta over & over again, I can never get sick of it. I actually improved more & its getting tastier by day.

I am so glad I took up the challenge to try and make Aglio Olio three years back. Today, I can serve this pasta all within 15 mins for a quick lunch just before heading to class.

made by yours truly

best served warm with a cup of iced fruit juice
