Graduation, 1st Project, Reality in 2 weeks...

for the past few weeks, there were sooo many things happening. good things mainly :)

i have so much to blog about! not sure where to start and my backlogs (on blog posts) are piling up like nobody's business. boo hoo hoo! i wished i wasnt that lazy and be more diligent like Nat who updates her blog every other day.

My internet connection for the past months has (yes present tense because it is still not cooperating well) been horrible to the max where the only thing that i can do most was FBing. surprisingly it cooperates well with FB but not other websites. i was bored to death like almost literally (did i mentioned that i think internet is like one of the greatest inventions). Since i will be back SG in 2 weeks time, i shall bomb my blog with all my backlog posts and photos then (u see internet connection is bad hence uploading of photos will take FOREVER. and i really mean forever.)

I shall fast forward a little and talked about Graduation. Graduation was a blast! happy yet sad..super happy that all of us had finally graduated and did well for our superior exam. sad because everyone is returning home. also super upset because i totally missed my chance to be introduced to my Eye Candy whom i've eyed since Basic during wine lecture. this graduation is the last chance that i will be seeing him. damit =x  (ok i know this sounds a little childish and high schoolish. skip that and we shall talk serious)




So now graduation is over. we are no longer students. a new life begins all over. The questions that everyone has been asking (which they never stop asking) 'what you gonna do when you are back?' seems to be unavoidable anymore since reality will arrive in just 2 weeks time..so the tentative plan is to work out portfolio and experiment new creations etc for 2 months. and we shall see where these preparations will bring me :)

I had been busy making gumpaste roses for  my landlady's son's wedding cake. It is really tedious and according to dearest Chef C, its an old lady work. Tedious because, you have to make petals and let them dry slightly before shaping them (but u need to shape them b4 they r too dry else they will crack).


My landlady went to collect the cake from M&S which she complained quite a great deal on how M&S shown on the internet that proper boxes are provided etc and how she was fuming while collecting the cake. Moving on, i placed e roses onto the ready made wedding cake carefully as they were so so sooooo fragile and clumsy me broke some petals =x i had a hard time covering the defects as well as sticking the roses onto the cake, stacking them onto each other, etc. it was a 'shivery' process i would say...but overall it turned out fine though i could have done better. well this is the very 1st time i made roses out of gumpaste, so.....ahem* anyway, i am so glad that everything turned out all right. i was so afraid i would spoil the entire wedding with the horrible roses. glad it's all done :)


and now i am waiting for my friend to arrive and in 2 weeks time it will be Good Bye London, Hello Singapore. Home is always home though i love London a lot. :)

p.s this is the very 1st time i had uploaded the most up-to-date photos before i put them up on FB. =x oh yea and i know i said it takes forever to load photos etc..i guess i was lucky as i tried loading and they loaded (just not quick but well they loaded so i shall be thankful)

i guess the next posting will be after i am back in SG. till then my readers (hopefully you are still there)
ciaoz..oh i will be going Paris tmr till thurs and will have a SHOPPING tour in London while having headaches on how to bring my stuff back to SG. pray with me that SQ will upsize my baggage allowance. :) Ciao for now. Happy Christmas and Holidays ;)
