Post-FYP:
FYP is finally over. Surprisingly, I didn't experience any intense emotion with the submission of our FYP. I thought I'd be either super happy that it's over, or super depressed that I won't get to work on it anymore. There wasn't a mad rush to finish our report either, which was also rather unexpected, given that we've been labeled "the most unmotivated group" ever, and that we "haven't been doing anything much for months" last semester. But hey, we finished everything on time.
FYP aside, I am super excited about the silly movies that are already out, or are going to be out soon!!! I mean... Watchmen (okay I watched this it wasn't all that impressive, 300 was better IMO), XMen Origins, Dragonball Evolution etc. My childhood favorites!!! I remember keeping a small collection of Dragonball figurines when I was much younger (and a lot more stupid than I am now, which, shockingly, is possible). And my love for XMen is so great that even during the SARS period where everyone hid at home in fear or turning into a sick chicken, I went to watch the movie with my friends lah! It was quite an unforgettable experience. I mean, an empty cinema (save the 5 of us)on a Friday evening? How cool is that.
Fond memories aside, it's scary that I'll have to join the bloody sg workforce in a few months' time. Shit. I don't even know what kind of job suits me. I hate to stay in the office. I hate to sit in front of the computer doing shit things like processing data. I hate to have OL friends who dedicate half their lives to the company, and another half to their husbands, children, mother and father-in-laws etc. I also hate the concept of selling uninspiring products like financial products, insurance, oil...
AHHHH.
I want to go to some medieval towns in Europe now to clear my mind, breathe in some European air to clean my lungs, and look at some (hot) European men (hopefully Spanish or Italian) to give me some inspiration and direction in life.
HAHA.

1) Chocolate Almond Torte
2) Souffle Pancakes with Rhubarb Compote
Both were amazing. The torte was demolished by my mom's coworkers very quickly. I didn't really dare to eat a lot of it though as I know what went into the torte, which, more accurately should be identified as a fudge pretending to be a cake. Terrible. Chocolate, butter, eggs, sugar and almond flour. That's all. And that's scary.
The souffle pancakes were light and delightful on the other hand. Gordon Ramsay is really super amazing. The methods he uses to make classic dishes are beyond my imagination, lah. And I am how glad I found rhubarb when I needed them badly. Am gonna make more of these pancakes, if I have the time.
Mom's birthday is around the corner. And it's a day after FYP submission. Maybe I'll bake something for her. But more likely than not, we'll pig out at some fine dining restaurant for a few days in a row. Happiness.
