Xinyi is ultimate rockness. For opening her house and her kitchen, for standing in the kitchen overlooking everything from top to finish, and for being the lovable Marder that she always is.
Thanks Xinnn (:
They had 20 potatoes to work with. 20, it was crazy.
I cant even finish two wedges. Haha.
Each crepe took about two tablespoons and there were two huge bowls of potato slice mix to fry.
Passed that on to shaula and clara, who passed it on to jamie who passed it to timothy who fried the crepes 3 cm thick to quickly use up the potato mix. Good job keep it up.
Then there was the whole lump of cheese. oh my marder, the cheese. in a wok on top of a flame that was either huge or dead. I was screaming while trying to fold all the mushrooms and garnish and breadcrumbs in. Hope friedemann's ear is okay.
Then there was the never ending order of chopped onions. And the never ending washing.
Wahh. It's the first time we actually cooked something together. we're always eating out, or eating the food our parents cooked, or eating the food catered in church.. and everything else lah but but BUT. on the last day of last year, 31st Dec! We, the youths of sbbc, pit our masakmasak and playdough skills together, and with one tiny kitchen and one petrified dining table (who was sadistically surrounded by so many mad kids brandishing knives and choppers and chopping away on it, laughing hysterically every, hmm, 30 seconds or so.)
we put together a DECENT MEAL. (:
very very decent. and very a lot also.
Hamburgers (Xinyi's damn nice patty recipe), Spaghetti, Some Salad Thing and Some Potatocrepe filled with mushroom and cheese Thing both headed by Friedemann, and Powder Orange Juice. Everybody had something to do at some point in time. It was just so heartwarming to find that all of us had this unspoken, spontaneous teamwork thing going. And dinner was prepared not just by a few of the older ones but by all.
Baked the largest amt of cookies I've ever made at a go, before christmas (57x7=399 :o)
Now i've chopped the most no. of onions in a day. before new year. My eyes are bionic eh cannot cry one. haha. Timmy was tearing even just washing dishes beside me. Softie that one.
We watched Madagascar first. Then Step Up. and I had to leave halfway, in the middle of movie in the middle of the morning at 2am. felt so ashfjsldlfkjalsdfkj :(
He's gone back on his promises so many times that I don't bother to speak up when I'm home anymore. Cold war, he calls it. To me, conversation is needless when listening's only happening on one end.
OTHERWISEE, New year was welcomed grandly. With the company of my wacky brothers and sisters. And with good food, movies and games, and people laughing hard every so often.
They're the people I look at and smile quietly to myself. And make a mental note to remember to thank God every night that he let me be a part of them.
Yesterday while I was using xinyi's laptop, Shaula came up beside me and said "i wanna useee." and I stared at her for a while and realised that I never had a little sister bug me to get off the comp before. I used to be the one at my bro's mercy. And now i look at Shaula and she's like.. aww. hahahahhahaa!! Obliged her immediately. Am i nice or what.
HAHA.
school's starting soon. :(
holiday homework refuses to die. :(:(
Pam's the dead one now.
lol.
Happy New Year! Pray this year will be more constructive than the last.
With more focus, more perseverance.
More thinking, more love. More God.
And different priorities.
