Now I know!!!

it always puzzled me how pathologist could name all their specimens after food?? (bread and butter appearance la, strawberry lips la, fish mouth valve la, banana shaped cavity la, and the list goes on...) how to eat after that???? that was until........ yesterday! i realize that it just can't be helped!!!

what led to my profound enlightenment?? as you would have already realized, i had an abundance of marshmallows at my disposal. that calls for a mega baking session hey?

ok la. it wasn't that mega. i just made cookies. not just any cookies... cookies whose name could potentially make their way to pathology textbooks. presenting....

CHOC FUDGE MARSHMALLOW COOKIES...

they ALL look like their half bitten. makes me think of macrophages??!!
on the other hand, they look a bit like brain tumor-ish too. well, i'm not giving you that view in case you may decide to stay off choc fudge cookies (with marshmallows) for good!!!

now this one, looks like an ulcer crater!!!
description: an ulcer with a depressed crater + granulation tissue??? (cos it's a pink marshmallow muahahaha), with uneven raised borders.

NERD!!!

ok in case you're thinking that i purposely made it look like that for educational purposes... you're wrong!!! well, all i can say it's a failed experiment with the marshmallows. cos of it's sticky nature and my unthinking mind, i mixed them all into the dough, resulting in pathological specimens. this is the proof that it was indeed a very sticky dough :P

well, just like thomas edison says... "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."! so i now know how NOT to make choc fudge marshmallow cookies. NEVER EVER PUT YOUR MARSHMALLOWS INTO THE DOUGH! thankyouverymuch :)

if you fail (miserably), try, try again! so there you have it (look below la), the lovely looking choc fudge marshmallow cookies :) looks pretty good eh? at least when i look at these, i don't think of tumours/or ulcers/or cells -_-"

oh but i "COP" those names already. don't you dare think of copyrighting them :P

choc fudge marshmallow ulcer.

how abt that! :P

p/s: i used 15 marshmallows this time around, i still have 78 left!!!! ideas??!!

on a sidenote, chris bought me truffles from the lovely chocolate bean!!! my fave :) woohoo!! oh how i love him! (and the truffles) hehe...

marshmallows in abundance!

so i have a lot of marshmallows left over from last saturday. jenn yong wanted to throw it away, i forbid! saying i would figure something out (when i really have no idea!!!) haha.. so i did what everyone would, GOOGLE!!!!! guess what i found from Zoobey's blog??

Top ten things to do with marshmallows:

1. Invent a new marshmallow airbag for your car. That way, after your accident, you can still enjoy the great taste of marshmallows while you wait for the tow truck to arrive.

2. Use colored miniature marshmallows to create a marshmallow mosaic of the Mona Lisa.

3. Make them into a sculpted likeness of your mom. She'll be grateful forever.

4. Fill someone's school locker with 927 1/2 of them. When they stop to pick up some books--avalanche! How embarrassing!

5. Use pretzel sticks and chocolate chips to create marshmallow snowmen. Then, pretend you are a giant Albino Sasquach and chomp their heads off.

6. For a month, start off and end your day with a fresh marshmallow and watch for health improvements. ("...part of this complete breakfast.")

7. Marshmallow fight! A good way to wake up a close friend.

8. Watch them puss, shrivel, warp, and char in the campfire.

9. Fill your driveway 2-feet high with miniature marshmallows and hold a neighborhood shovel-off contest in July (notify Z and your local news if you venture to try this one)

10. Use duct tape and a literal ton of marshmallows to create a padded room for your slightly insane sweet-tooth sibling.

so funnY right!! but i don't think i'm going to try any of those.

we already creatively used up SEVEN for yongling's birthday where we each have the honour of stuffing a marshmallow into his mouth while he sings himself a happy birthday song. by the time the 7th one was stuffed, we were quite concerned he might asphyxiate, so we graciously allowed him to spit them out... not without making him say I LOVE YOU ALL in his marshmallow filled mouth. hehe :)

so i had some 100 marshmallows. 93 more to go :P jenn yong suggested i made hot choc everyday. goodness. i don't think the marshmallows will last 3 mths!!! :P hehehe..

ok now for some serious recipe googling. rocky road anyone? ;)

unbelievable!!!

how sexy can THIS (look below) get??!!

click here and here to read all abt it...

the Malaysian school uniform sexy?? you've gotta be kidding me. it does not even flatter the body!!! *sigh* what has the world become?? if you say you wanna change it because it's ugly, i believe it's a more valid reason than it being sexy! goodness me. what would people think of Malaysia????

thank goodness, the Education Minister has some sense and did not heed the ridiculous comments of the girl's uniform being the reason for increasing pre-marital sex and rape cases. -_-"

Fishing My Way to Made of Honor

Play the FlipFlopFlippy game at hongleong online :) i think i did reasonably well! hehe.. it's soo much fun because it's a no-brainer! and you get to win an invitation to JW Mariott for a wedding-themed event and the movie premier thereafter. What are you waiting for? Fish away.......... (of yeah, only for nuffnangers :P)

after such a hectic week, and popping 100000 painkillers (i'm exaggerating, not trying to kill myself :P) over 2 days. i think i really needed the saturday off. to just do nothing, and rest. pain week is over. indeed it was as painful as its name suggests. i want nothing to do with it ever again! 2 more weeks to winter. can't wait!!!! sydney here i comee :) which my baby so kindly sponsored my tickets as our 3rd anniversary gift. hehehe..

Essential Guidelines to ICU for Dummies (ie. medical students)

1. You're not expected to be ICU specialists. At least, you don't have to know how the ventilator works and the funny numbers that are associated with it. Ha!
2. When in doubt, wash your hands.
3. The tea room is the most important place (quite paradoxical really, because after all.. it's the coffee that matters!) -_-"

So that's what we learn on our first day in ICU. hehehe.. of course, they were just being nice (and cheeky). Intensivists are the nicest kinda doctors. I would say, they are the "Gold Standard". *happy sigh* i'm starting to like the RAH. i really am :)

Busy week ahead. but in for a good start :)
