i've got yummy cookies, but i also want ji pa ban*
ji pa ban = a million dollars, in the hokkien dialect
made a really excellent batch of lemonade cookies yesterday! and i made them really small, so the flatmate and i have been popping them nonstop into our mouths! the cookie recipe is here, and also, the recipe for the lemonade concentrate.
the flatmate sat and stared in front of the oven, keeping a watchful eye over the bits that were baking. love the smell that baking cookies leaves in the house. it makes the house feel safe and cosy. very housewifey, but happy.
because it's singa's national day (HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY, SINGAS!) and i had to go to school, i'm feeling kinda sorry for myself. and lo! and behold! what i came across when surfing aimlessly (via ang ku kueh): great hokkien song that's put a smile on my face! except now the idiotic flatmate is singing it incessantly. and the tune's stuck in my head.
i don't understand much hokkien, so it's very helpful that there was that literal translation to english, albeit very singlish. bet that guy's going to be really popular after this post! :)
just a short one. i'm supposed to be getting work done for tomorrow's presentation. the day after national day. just how great is that.

Ooooh...yummy cookies!
I only ever bake chocolate chip ones though...These seem like a lot more work.
i might miss national day next year ... hmmm
wah the cookies look good!!
maoie: we can bake stuff when you're here next week! :DDDD
fat fingers: fall semester in the UK usually start in sept, right? so unless you're gonna want to be spending time with the Boyfriend... :) anyway, there will be a singaporean community to celebrate national day with. don't worry!
try to make those cookies if you're not too busy with the packing/slacking! quite simple, and very high marginal utility!
i see my sister staring at the cookies... i also wana eat the cookies!!! ahha!!!!
