just brief updates on the past few days..

i baked an almond toffee mocha brownie cake for the new years party that was to take place on the 30th. ken and his flatmates organised it. was to be a potluck party and we (ken and i) were doing dessert. he baked frosted banana bars. i have all the pics but am still unable to upload them cos i don't have a personal internet connection yet. (using ken's laptop.) my cake was slightly burnt at the sides cos i had to leave it in the oven longer in order for the centre to cook. there's sthg wrong with the oven here. it doesn't heat up well - and becos of this, baking took sthg like 9 hours. can u imagine that? after that, we had loads to clean up.. well glad all this is over.

ken and i baked another cake in the morning (combined effort this time) - spiced apple cake. turned out nicely. we iced the top of the cake so that the icing read "2005" with a cross in the centre. in the afternoon, osworld (worship leader from GCCC), came over to have worship practice. ken wanted to include me in sunday's worship team as well so i practiced together with them. (2 guitarists, 1 flautist) Party!! guests arrived from 730pm onwards. all of the guests were from glasgow chinese christian church. this guy called simon brought his dance mat over and each of us had to have a go at it. (for the playstation game dance dance revolution - if any of u can remember, this game was rather popular several years ago with the bengs and lians in singapore at game arcades) dinner was fantastic and dessert, excellent. played a game of pictionary to end off the night. surprisingly, cleaning up took only 1/2 an hour - clap clap clap. went to bed around 2am.
31/12/04
skipped breakfast and lunch - the food from the party was still able to sustain me. didn't do anything much for the rest of the day, just some tv and casual conversations with chris and ken. no countdown, everyone was just slacking around. when the clock stuck 12, chris, ken and i just wished each other happy new year (baldwin was over at siewkuan's (gf) place). that was it. (hope none of u reading this were expecting me to go to some pub, get squashed by the crowd and get drunk - sorry..=) not that type though it's the culture here in the uk. in fact, i've never been clubbing before). watched some tv and slept at 3am.
