New York Cheesecake!
I MADE A CHEESECAKE!
Okay, I should stop making such a big deal out of it.
But hey, I thought it’d be a huge disaster and I was so afraid I’d mess it up. My cousins and I planned this dinner party for all the daddies and I was in charge of the cheesecake so if I did mess it up… oh boy.
It turned out pretty well though! Looked okay, albeit a little messy. But the texture was surprisingly smooth! My dad insists it’s because I used Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Which is so fattening I’m so glad I’m not so much of a cheesecake fan.
Ah well, he loved the cake! That’s what mattered most!
Well well. So a huge part of today was spent buying ingredients, writing a card, baking, cleaning up and then heading for the dinner party. Which was such a blast ‘cos the food prepared by the mummies and daughters (mostly) were simply delicious.
LOL that’s the new Word of The Day. Delicious. Actually no, it’s the Word of the Week. My cousins and I kept making such a deal out of how it should sound while we were at the kelong.
Which reminds me, I survived the 3 days! You’d be surprised, man.
1. There weren’t mirrors. Okay no, there were mirrors but they were so small you couldn’t see anything neck down. So yeah, I got through Day One looking at my reflection in the window LOL. And by Day Two I decided there’s no point fussing over how you look when you’re in a kelong ‘cos all that matters is how big the sting ray you caught was. Yup.
2. The toilet had a manual flush. And the best part of it? Immediately after you flushed you’d hear the sound of everything going into the sea. I’m so glad I’m not a fish.
3. Uh, the bed and the blanket smelt like how guys smell after PE. Which is like, totally fragrant. And the bedsheets were as clean as the ones we had in the Sick Bay back in St Nick’s Primary.
4. Actually the food was pretty good. Today my jeans felt like they suddenly became tighter o.O
5. Most of our time was spent fishing. Which is obviously my kinda thing.
Haha, I’m sure.
So yeah, that basically sums up my 3-day Survivor Kelong Experience. No signs of tsunamis, some really pretty pictures of the sunset, and memories to last a lifetime.
Hahaha, okay I should stop sounding like such a Drama Mama.
Oh yeah, and I had my first-ever foot reflexology session in this little town somewhere in Bintan. Until now we’re not exactly sure the place we went to was Bintan. Haha anyway the hour-long session was spent trying to figure out why membranes are phospholipid bilayers i.e. I was hiding behind my books in an attempt to conceal my contorted facial expressions. It probably wasn’t supposed to hurt very much but well, let’s just say it wasn’t the most relaxing experience. Though everyone else insists it was cheap and really good. Hmm.
Ah well, tomorrow marks the start of the last week of the last June Holidays I’ll ever have! Goodness me, I feel so old.
Okay time to shut up now. I’ll just leave you with this super nice picture from the trip!
