stretch.

it's been fun.

freed from the cloyingly agonizing shackles of exams, my brain is breathing again. it is exuding little bubbles of joy. it is frothing in delight and relief. i may be exhibiting signs of fulminant septic meningitis.

haha.

let's test my csf for glucose and proteins. smear it into the blood agar with deliberate glee wearing a sardonic grin and nothing else, standing in the nudy before the ethereal caresses of the laminar flow air.

had a ton (and then some) of fun, fellowship and frivolous resource expenditure today with my wonderful, fantastic, lovely and absolutely quirky churchmates - grace, weiyi and yinghui. a trio of madcaps prancing around my kitchen doing magical stuff to flour, eggs and butter, whilst simultaneously bringing a flame of passion and warmth back into my tired soul and heart. it was totally what i needed. it hit the spot right on. (why does this sound like a cheesy Oxy10 ad?) i love these guys to bits. they make wonderful company and even better pastries! :D

i didn't take pictures cos my grubby paws were smeared with butter, oil (grace gasps) and sugar, but let me assure you that the products looked heavenly and tasted better. yinghui took some nice pics though! :D hee. will prob go sneak a peek at her blog or facebook when she loads them :D

anyway just for the record, we made walnut brownies wth marshmallows, cranberry and mixed oats muffins, and almond walut biscotti! :D sounds like something a gourmand would salivate over. and man, they really do titillate the tastebuds! especially the earthy, fruity, flavors-exploding muffins. have to give grace kudos for the excellent recipe and idea! :D

after that we half escorted tired grace home... the poor gal could barely keep her eyelids open! then the remaining 3 musketeers traipsed over to feast on japonicum - ahem, i meant japanese food! at sakae :D not schistosoma. hehheh :P

tiring day! but absolutely definitely indubitably goooooooooooooooood. let's do it again! :D
