134. On major hiatus

Geocache-ing in Tuen train station :)

Hello all! I am alive and well. In terms of updates, I spend my days lazing about, applying for jobs, meeting a bunch of whackos and doing random things with the boy.

Now, for the important agenda, Blogger has decided that they would like to not allow me access to my own Blogspot accounts! I keep getting this weird error message (I am not on my own computer to show you :( But it usually says that it cannot connect to Blogger server)

So wtfish?

How do I fix it, someone help me! You will be greatly rewarded with my undying gratitude. :)

Mail me, leave me a comment, talk to me on MSN. Someone do something!

I get the timeout error message whenever I try logging on my own computer, but not when I use someone else's.

Google my best friend, are you seriously kidding with me?

133. Exciting news!

I got something exciting happening up my sleeves tomorrow, but I want to save my suspense for when I see if it goes well or otherwise! Or if I have got funny stories to tell afterwards. So wait for it.

In any case, I am crazy excited! :)

Wish me well.

132. Life as a Photobooth

Photobooth style.

It starts really early in the day and usually right after blow drying my hair. Just because I feel prettiest at that very specific moment in time. :)

It then continues on the 45 minutes train ride into Oslo.

And, oh no! It does not stop there...

It goes on to using Photobooth all the way through the night!

And what is Photobooth without a friend to join with and a Happy Ending.

Right then, I guess that shows how I lack blogging material these days! But I shall come up with one soon about how I am going to change school and how I absolutely hate the school I am in right now. :)

Got to go now, Do you vain of Photobooth all the time too?

P:S, Yes Thomas, I know you are thinking about it, I do have more pictures of my Photobooth moments, I only choose the ones I liked best. Haha!

131. Recipes

I am going to give you recipe's from last weeks dinner! :) Super easy to make, rather yummy and above all, almost fool proof!

Lisa's Salad.

I believe the best Salad's you can get is one that is made up of all your favorite-est ingredients!

Unless you want a gourmet Caesar Salad, on an average salad, I say anything goes!

I got the recipe of Jamie Oliver's website for Beautiful Courgette Carbonara minus the Courgette. (:

I think it is upmost importance that the eggs you mix into the Carbonara is as fresh as you can get them because, it makes a world of a difference! And this tip I learnt from The Hjelmstads.

I always thought eggs, were just eggs. But when you try using fresh eggs on this type of recipes, it makes a world of a difference! Not to mention avoids any weird tummy aches.

And after you make your Cabonara you should be left with just the perfect amount of egg whites for a deliciously good Creme Meringue!

I used this recipe.

It was really good, and really easy to make! Got to say, probably one of the best meringue recipes ever!

I just made myself hungry. How now?

130. November, already?

How can it possibly be November already? I am almost afraid to think about how fast time flies these days!

Soon, it is going to be Christmas again! And I am starting to scout for plans already. It's always best to buy tickets as soon as possible so we need not think about it any longer.

It occurred to me that it has since been, 2 Christmas that I did not spend in Denmark. And there is a very high probability that I might also skip that this year. Plans are being made as we speak. So, I guess we shall find out soon enough.

2007 in Sweden

2008 in Utica, New York

Every Christmas is equally as good if you ask me. It really is who you spend it with that matters most.

So, plans for this year are as such.

• It could either be that my 4th Uncle comes over from Malaysia and we have to go to Denmark for Christmas.
• The folks return home to Malaysia and I get to choose where I want to go for Christmas.
• I go visit Sharanna either in Sweden or in Poland. Which I am liking the sound of it! Poland sounds like a land less explored!
• I stay in Norway and have a lonely Merry Christmas.

129. Closet cleaning!

Oh hai!

I complain so much about my closet spewing out junk that I thought today, Wtheck. Let's really clean this mess up.

So I did.

And now, I am so proud of myself I want to go hug myself.

I found things to throw, things to sell, things to donate, things that I just want to burn because I don't know what prompt me to buy it, and some things that definitely do not belong to me.

So yeah. That was my day today.

Now, I found some things I might want to "sell" on my "Blogshop" so, I guess that is partly exciting? I think I might update that page tomorrow!

Okay, got nothing more to say for now, got to get dress for Magnar's Halloween meet? I know it is not a Costume Party or anything, but what if I wanted to come as something awesome? Hrmph.

But this Russel Peter's is hilariously good. (I refuse to admit that it is kind of true...)

Watch it for a good Saturday laugh!

I am ranting now, but isn't that what I always do anyways?

128. Pillow talk

I am generally a truly happy person, the people around me have given me the luxury of not needing to worry about much else, which I am fully grateful for. So sometimes I thing my biggest problem isn't too big after all if I compare myself to many out there.

But I came to realize yesterday that my biggest issue in life is and truly is, myself. Well, I realize that a long time ago, I just choose to ignore them and kept telling myself that I am not wrong for wanting that.

I am a perfectionist and I seek the ultimate perfection. And sometimes, nothing less than perfect will do. Perfection that I have gathered in my mind over the years and from readings and looking, feeling, wanting, etc, etc.

And worse of all being me, is that once I realize that that illusion of the perfection I am seeing is made up of my own delusions and is starting to crumble down on me, I have a hard time accepting that. I don't know where to run, who to hide behind. It is almost impossible to put my hands around it and grasp that new knowledge and I am left stumbling wondering what now? Years of gathered information has all just turned into nothing-ness.

And as I said above, to begin with my ideas' were made up by myself. Or at least I have hoped that was what it is. And everyone in this world has already learnt the reality of things and couldn't possibly understand why am I feeling this way.

I like to believe perfection is possible, we just have to push harder, seek further, look deeper. At at one point of it, I am sure we will get there. Is that really too much to ask for?

Is that really too much to ask for?

Guess, I should go now. Got to reprogram my head about something new. It is not that new found knowledge is bad or anything, it is just not what is in my head and now I have to reprogram myself onto accepting something new.

Loads of happy picture, just as a distraction. :)

127. Photobooth moments

Just finished The Return by Victoria Hislop

Rather good book, what should I read next?

Must say, the lighting in my school is quite good, No?

Face you get when given not good tasting Ice Mocca. When will Norwegian stores learn to make good Starbucks-like Ice Coffee's?

I knew my Yellow Heart would match something sometime!

Follow me on Twitter!

Got assignments to do today, guess I will just have to blog later, that is why you should follow me on Twitter and watch me procrastinate! :)

126. Oh Micheal.

Micheal Bublé is definitely one of my vice. I usually find me winding up listening to him on a moody bad day or even when I am happy happy!

So yeah. Micheal, why do you do this to me?

You just got me mushy all inside. *Sigh.

I should be sleeping. Or doing work, not listening to you and getting all emotional.

So, what is the song you tune too when you are feeling happy?

Michael Buble - Haven't Met You Yet Lyrics

I'm Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
Have Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stopped Keepin Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Lose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Now Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Mmmmm ....

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's Half Time
And The Other Half's Luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

Hmmmmm ....

And Somehow I Know That Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's Fair
And In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It By It ??
To Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

Hmmm ...

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I'll Work To Work It Out
Promise You Kid I'll Give More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get han I Get

Oh You Know It Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get

I Said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love ...
I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

125. Oh how I miss you.

Oh how I miss you my darling camera. It really is about time I go get myself a new one. I am reading loads of reviews and I still can't decide DSLR or Compact?

Sigh*

Pictures from yesterday and today! Magnar pulled a Lisa stunt and left his camera here, so I ransacked the house and found a cable! And ta-dah! Pictures!

Spot the difference? Does the Pepsi really make the picture uglier?

My carbonara pasta with bacon bits!

One of them is Coke, the other Pepsi. Can you guess which is which?

I look like such a working woman. So unglamorous.

My lunch today! Salads with all my favorite things!

Then I got bored and proceeded onto making some meringue!

Super easy to make and super yummy. *CoughFattenningCough*

Since I ate up all my Double Cream yesterday, I was left with using Marshmellow Fluff as my center. Then I found some dried coconuts and sprinkled that over as well! :)

Okay, I love cooking, I hate admitting that, but I actually enjoy doing it.

I like simple things, nothing too fancy.

Now, if only cooking doesn't involve cleaning up afterwards, I would be cooking all day long! :)

I shall drop the recipe for these on my next post?
