it's one thirty.

a little while ago, my brother cooked 3 prawns and 2 scallops for me, and another same for himself.
it was nice, the sauce. the scallop was.. okay.
while he was cooking, in fact, before he started cooking, and after he had finish, i was sitting in the kitchen.
pounding, pounding, pounding....................

before i go on, CONGRATS TO AHMED KHALIL KHAN FOR MAKING IT TO INTER FINALS!!!!!

quite an exciting / boring day today. watched the girls climb, the guys, and ahmed. and a lot of waiting in between.
thank goodness for <3 gwen. <3 rah, <3 calvin, <3 chris, zheng wei and dong ying. sorry one heart to share cause i didn't talk much to yaw.
this gravical.. makes me feel so inferior. like.. i can't do it anymore, y'know?
climbing was the best decision... but i can't really tell if it's the friends that made it worthwhile.
hmmm never mind 8 more months to go.
not going to blog much about gravical, except that, sorry, i HAVE A SEXY VOICE and i love it!!

pounding. pounding, pounding.....
i was pounding whole almonds (with skin on) to almond powder.
it's. not. easy.  at all.
i pound like 5 almonds at a time. took me what, an hour to finish? even then it was coarse.
so i sifted it, and oh, nothing much, just 1/8 OF IT WAS POWDER. so back to pounding the remaining 7/8. of which 1/8 turned into powder again.

i wanna make macaroons! but i don't know which recipe to trust. i have already cracked 3 eggs.
then i came online to find the recipe. it said 2 eggs.
another said 3 - 5 eggs. like sorry but THREE TO FIVE EGGS?? A LOT OF DIFFERENCE PLEASE.

one said almond paste. another said 50g almond meal. another said 125g.
i don't know what i'm doing without a mixer hahaha and a spatula, but ah well.

i'm gonna have fun.
