2011-08-08 I Moved!

Oh blog how are you! It has been a month since I last written and so much crazy things happened! There had been so much things I wanted to blog but didn't have the time. Man where to start @_@ Hmmmmmm okay I think I'll do much blogging today. Probably multiple entries (that is if my memory cooperates with me): before the move, during the move, after the move. Honestly I had so much bubbling up in me up until my completely unplanned skype date with ChrisChris. (ha I mentioned her name and I'm not going to tell her I did in my blog teehee).

Okay so before the move...I would think that as before the last week July (more like all the fun things I did that does not involve packing and moving) ending with Capital Ex.

okay my memory just failed me there. I totally don't remember the dates and probably got them mixed up so I think I'll just document the highlights.

2011-01-09 Exploring Edmonton: Duchess, Credo, and Downtown

I often ask myself one question: why did we move to Edmonton? Of course I know the reason but knowing that makes everything ten times worse. Edmonton is pretty much deadmonton in my opinion. WEM is probably the only place that keeps me from feeling completely suffocated.

In attempt to make myself like Edmonton, I sought out interesting shops to visit...to fool my head in thinking this place can be interesting. Luckily, I found Lightside Photography and their 30 Days of Edmonton project. The project featured a local shop everyday that offers unique products/items. While I have visited mostly of the shops since my school is just at Whye, I still found some interesting ones. And during Christmas Break, Jessie and I made a little adventurous expedition into the heart of Edmonton and explored them. We visited Duchess Bake Shop in Westmount and Credo in Downtown.

2010-08-27 Chocolate! Banana! Blueberry!

 
The day before yesterday I baked for the first time since like a year. It actually felt soooo good. My mom wanted me to make some muffins for breakfast. I ended making chocolate-chip muffins,banana bread , and blueberry breakfast crumble. It was actually my first time making all of those and seeing the product, I'm actually very proud. =D I never planned in making so much. What happened was that I planned to make banana-chocolate muffins, except the bananas were way to hard to mash evenly so rather than smashing three bananas, I just smashed two to make banana bread instead. Banana bread needs an hour in the oven and during that time I was going to wash some blueberries to eat. However, most of the blueberry had gone moldy. D= There was even a bug on one of them!!! o_O So I basically spent an hour picking out 2c. of blueberries and washed them with water and vinegar and threw the rest out. So then I decided to make blueberry breakfast crumble. Although very spontaneous decision, the result turned out really good.

2010-03-28 Bake N Cakes

A few days back, I saw the advertisement for "Bake N Cakes" in a Chinese newspaper. It's a bakery and cafe featuring Hong Kong food. The pictures looks so delicious and the place looks so cute I just have to try it. Unfortunately, when I got there, I was quite disappointed in their food =(
